Grahamoth Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 so this is a mixture of an introduction as well as the reason for my desperation to find a forum for the Halo community (I dislike Halo 5 in nearly every way, my apologies now, I will have an argument with people or two but won't go to name calling or profanity until someone does first. Just kinda my thing.) I got banned from Waypoint until 2552 (haha 343, very funny..........NOT!) because I "Leaked content or footage". (Nearly a literal quote of the red ban banner on my profile.) What I said was this: "Constructive criticism is not hurting the fixing of the game." I can't even view the forums at all to see the rest of the thread in which that was the only post I made because I was defending another user who said the game was broken as all hell and someone defended the game, resorting to baseless and childish name calling. That user, the one defending the game and the company, is still active. The reason why I searched for a site like this: because I do still like Halo as it was the first XBOX game I got into, to the point where I have logged months of cumulative hours in each game. They were solid and I enjoed some of the forum discussions as they made bugs and guides easy to find Pre-MCC (MCC stupidly took out the challenges which arguably made Halo MP not as fun with nothing to unlock...... at least to me that is.) I have been a user of Waypoint since it went live to everyone and was active on Bungie's forums prior to that. It was like a second home where I could be a Halo nerd and get away with it but am now banned because the 343 mods went ban happy on negative comments of their product (which still doesn't work to this day. If you want to know why I still say that, go ahead and ask. I experienced game breaking bugs that have been going on since launch last night.) Despite this banning and everything, I'm still a Halo fan and want to stay in touch with other fans. I look forward to being here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizzy_Dan Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 We also love Halo! Welcome to the site. I actually love Halo 5: Guardians though, I think they did a lot right with the multiplayer thus far from what I played in the beta. Take a look around and see if there's anything you like.

rrhuntington Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I got banned from Waypoint until 2552 "Countdown To Wide Awake and Physical" Anywho, welcome to the forums. We hope you enjoy your stay here. We've got a whole bunch of Halo fans with a whole bunch of different opinions on everything. We may not like everything, but most of us have one general thing in common and that's our love for Halo. Whether lost or still there, we've all had it at one point or another.

Grahamoth Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ooooooooh I do happen to be a fan of community events as they are just a blast. We also love Halo! Welcome to the site. I actually love Halo 5: Guardians though, I think they did a lot right with the multiplayer thus far from what I played in the beta. Take a look around and see if there's anything you like. Don't get me wrong, it looked pretty and the servers for the Beta were more stable than TMCC still are (in relation to campaign online co-op which we literally couldn't get to work for anything campaign or campaign playlist that wasn't H4). I just couldn't wrap my head around playing it with my normal Bumper Jumper controls because it felt too much like a generic FPS. Actually had to switch to Fishstick controls because of it. But, to each their own and it is cool you enjoyed it. I will most likely get it for the sheer fact it is a Halo and as a diehard Halo fan I want to see the story play out. I would definitely like to see 343 do something with their own characters like Locke, maybe even exclude Chief for a bit like in ODST and Reach. It would be interesting to see where they go with it. I am also hoping for a return of campaign, MP, and other game mode challenges. Unlocks are just one of those things that keep game going for me. Haven't seen anything on those if anyone has, I would love to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 The banner sais: DUE TO POSTING INAPPROPRIATE OR LEAKED CONTENT So I guess it's more likely to be due to inappropriate posting than leaking content. And seeing your post history... It wasn't due to that one time you posted that "constructive critisism is not hurting or fixing the game". Anyway I'm sidetracking Clean slate here! Enjoy your stay! Oh and if you love community events check the calendar, there's plenty of events listed there. Just don't forget to RSVP in the event thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconShelf Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Eh. Halo 5 was the first multiplayer in the series (discounting Wars) that I really enjoyed. Which is saying something considering it was small team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
