As a new member, I feel obligated to reply to this post. I am new to the forums, yes, new as of today as a matter of fact, I am not however, new to Bungie. One might go as far as to call me an old-school Bungie fan. I played Oni the week it came out, and I picked up my copies of both Halo and Halo2(SE) the day they were released. I'll give you as much, that most of the new people on this forum don't know what Oni is, but the bottom line is that there has been very little reason to join the froums here before the release of Halo2. Before Halo2, the only reason for a forum was to either praise a game, or berate it, or perhaps the occasional off topic, look at my funny screenshot thread. In my opinion, thats not enough incetive to spend time reading through a forum. Now however, with x-box live and the massive online Halo2 community, these forums are much more fruitful, and essentially pruposful. My point here, is that you really should not view the new wave of initiate members as a fad. I understand that people who are new to a forum can be annoying, but you all were new once. And, honestly, from what I have read, I'm not terribly impressed with this community, I see a whole lot of newbie complaints, and vets only seem to -blam!- about the newbs, I am however new, and will not judge this community completly until i have spent more time here.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] desert spartan Hi, I'm Desert, and I joined bungie.net after Halo 2 came out. Okay, I confessed, do you guys still hate me? I've been Halo crazy since I got Xbox a little over two years ago. It was my first Xbox game, I sort of skimmed the books awhile ago and now I'm *really* reading The Fall of Reach. So, just because I'm new here doesn't mean I'm new to Bungie or Halo. I've been reading the forums for almost a year, and I finally figured I ought to join. I LOVE HALO 2 and screw all those whiners! I'm gonna stop now. Oh yeah, and I read the FAQ before I posted.[/quote] First and foremost. Welcome to the 7thColumn. Also no we do not hate you. We just hate all those imature brats who have nothing better to do than to search fro bungie's websites and spam out the forums. As for all the concern with new people we don't hat them but they do some slightly anoying stuff like double post and make an ad for a clan when we try to have everything already set out for them. They just do not take the time to read first before they post. Besides after a while most of them will probibly get board and go somewhere else. Mabey to sonystation when EQ2 comes out.

How come people hate other people for joining when a game comes out and it rocks? I mean doesnt that give you an idea of what kind of person he/she is? It sucks to have people like that around cause it kills your buzz and theirs. So sad man really. UnLuvingHi, I'm Desert, and I joined bungie.net after Halo 2 came out.

[Edited on 11/16/2004 10:13:03 PM]* littlerat wishes that he knew of bungie.net/com earlier in the piece. DAMN THE EXPENSIVE XBOX!! I would've had one much earlier if they weren't selling them for a thousand a piece at the beginning. >[ Why the hell do they expect them to sell? I sure hope Xbox 2/Next xbox will be at most $300 AUD when it starts.man bro losts of ppl are dissin on the ending, if u think it sucks then u know there is goin to be a sequel, losts of s*** goin around about that!Its not like I hate people for joining after Halo2 came out, I just dont like the fact that they did. Marinealver I hope you and everyone else who has been here a long time find your old friends. To people who have joined Halo2 coming out is like a fad even though they wont admit it, once everything calms down you will never see them again and you will be left with the true Bungie fans.There is still a few around here. Most of them are mods now. Mabey you can put in a request to Shishka on how to become a non-temporal beign. I am sure he'll be gald to have you join their ranks.It's all good DONGO. You still have some of the grizzled ancients left. Wait.... O ya i think they still work on DOS. Hmmmm well you still have some people... Nah your screwed. lol.ok, im not new, ive been on here for 3 years, however, everyone i used to talk to has left and now i have noone to talk to on here hold me *sobThey don't read much.well im new and I think any one who's here to -blam!- about Halo 2 should just go F#(% off!!! sorry to get annoyed but ive been a halo fan sence i got my first xbox and blew it out from too much halo.... so ya these people who love Halo and Halo 2 should pull up a chair and let er rip, then those who just want to let one rip on Halo 2 should just go find some other place to go cause no one likes a person who -blam!-es about what they love!!![quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Nelmc117 in the forums lately i have seen tons of people who have joined after halo2 came out well most of these people are here to rip on halo 2 while some loved it i want to hear other peoples opionin of these people new to bungie[/quote][b][u][color=lime] PAY NO ATENTION TO THE SPAM BEHIND THE COMPUTER[/b][/u][i] .....the wizzard of O7[/i][/color]Btw. Whats halo 2 nemesis? A Clan? UnLuvingI dont know what to say. Either i say what I feel and I get bashed or I say what others wanan hear and I get bashed. Either way I lose..So Ill be honest: Halo 2 is a superb sequel that takes the old chemistry and tosses in gallons of flammable retardent goodness i.e. the double gun action and of course playing as the arbiter. God that was freakin sweet. Playing as the freakin enemy!!! And having those stupid grunts by my side made me love those lil guyz :) I know that I may have said what has already been said prolly a thousand times before but hey Im only pointing out the obvious and to those who feel the need to hate the playa I suggest you go back and try beating halo 2 on legendary and you tell me whose the nooby. UnLuVingthe game is the best, and the mulitplayer is unmatched !!!Me to. My friend sent me my own stats to look at nd I thought while I'm here I'll just join to talk to fellow Halo fans and other gamers as well. I really have no reason to hate Halo 2. As I've read books and seen movies that end the same way and no one complains about them. I say it's there own fualt for believing anything that pops in their head about what Halo 2 MIGHT have been.OMG~! gUyz!1 H4LO 2 FO LYFE!!!!1!!1one!!!!!shift+one!!!!1!?! Nah, I kid. I always wanted to join and I finally thought, "Why not now?"Ah yes, but we will probbrabbly pick up some new productive members too. Look at new mombasa... most of those dumbassess joined post-new hotness, but some of our most valued members have too.I wholeheartedly agree with you on that, but it does raise some suspicions when 99.9% of the people who -blam!- about Halo 2 joined just this weekend. Half the time they are -blam!-ing about things that aren't even in the game or were already cut out long ago. Which makes me wonder if most of them just made a search on Google to find a few random problems people where having with Halo 2, then came here to bash on it with the few pieces of information they had. [Edited on 11/14/2004 7:58:00 PM]I never quite understood the whole old profile thing... alot of dumbasses judge you by your join date and I enjoy the extent to which they revere me because i have been here for more than a year... jeez. my point is join date is irrevelant... so what if they joined after halo2?Or like me, they decided their old account name was getting a little old.You were new too, and judging by your join date (a very shakey evaluation at best), you joined purely for halo2 as well. hell, so did I, so just lay off heh? Most are dumbasses though...They need to read the Friggen FAQ, they'll all just posting what they want wherever they want. And their mostly saying the same stuff, but you can't really blame them if their new, except for the FAQ part.
