[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HeftyButterfly [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Corvelx Guys (and maybe a few gals), lay off the "Congratulations, you beat guests/randoms/n00bs" comments. They didn't go on to boost their egos, they went on to play with the community. So what if they won all of their games? Good for them :) Just be happy they came on to play Halo with us. If I wasn't in class, I would have been on trying to play at that time too.[/quote] They didn't win all their games - they lost the fourth one. See my above post. The issue is that they beat up on guest accounts (people's little brothers and sisters most likely) then posted about it on the front page - with links to people's gamer tags. Public humiliation on the front page of a site with millions of users doesn't promote good sportsmanship and improve the community - it's just not cool. [/quote]Are you actually serious?! You make way too much out of this game if you think having a match score posted online can be considered "public humiliation."

The top link on the front of the [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Warp2 Are you actually serious?! You make way too much out of this game if you think having a match score posted online can be considered "public humiliation." [/quote] The top link on the front page of Bungie's site links to 3 cherry picked games that describe, in depth, how Bungie beat up on ad-hoc teams with guest accounts. Furthermore, the people that were in those games didn't even choose to play Bungie staffers (or even know who they were) - let alone have their defeat blogged about. Then when they have the opportunity to write about a good team that played together and soundly beat the Bungie staff, they left that one out. You're probably correct that it isn't nearly as bad as I'm making it out to be. However if there is such as thing as bad sportsmanship, then this is it.

Unlike the usual Humpday summaries, I sensed absolutely zero taunting or lack of sportsmanship in any of the 3 game writeups. I could be dense, though. :^) Plus, I would be totally surprised if everyone they played was not incredibly excited to be playing against the flaming helmets. shrug I'd love to randomly run into these guys, get crushed, and then get a good taunting in a weekly update. :^D

It's just that I wouldn't have gotten crushed :)

Yeah great job Bungie, beating up on guest, and noob's. Come and play real players. I can't believe you would post about this.
-
Yea I do have to agree Bungie guys your going to post this to favorites and you played noobs? Why didn't you guys play against brigadiers and generals these people are after all the ones who support your game the most? If you are incapable of playing the game at a high level do you even have any business designing / being involved in the game? Love the game love you guys but thats just my 2 cents I'm not going to bullshi.

I hate recon armor. I also hate armor with swords on the back. I hate all levels above 18. I hate people who unlocked the IHWDIY skull without using YouTube Until this morning I had hated people who found monkey men on Sierra 117. But I now realize they were just folks looking for a good sniping position.
-
Aww come on, beating up on a bunch of guest is fun for you guys.... Shamefull...
-
thank god bungie has seen how retarded people can get in the game.its sad sad really.
-
ye bungie picked they games were they won but i bet they lost like 50 others before they got 3 they won
-
They played Social games? Meaning they played games where theres a good chance there will be guests that will usually have no idea to play the game? I was expecting them to jump in level 30-40 ranked matches.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IIDWells55XII Congratulations, you beat guests and randoms. The sponsors will be arriving any moment now.[/quote] Not to mention that they only won the shotty-snipes game by using almost nothing but shotties. (One guy had half his kills with snipe, almost all the rest were shotty). Explains a lot about why matchmaking sucks so horribly. So do these guys.
-
i vs evil otto before.him and his flameing head. it was oddball. all he did was going around kill people, so when i had the chants i hit him in the back :-)
-
is good. i was gonna come online, but wanting to University prevented me (test). nice of bungie to play with community, doesn't matter if they lost, they still gotta meet bungie, and that's a win in itself (sorry, gotta be positive somewhere). lol. respect, peace out zaeet
-
does bungie take on challenges? if i was to get a team together and we wanted to try our luck fighting bungie would this be a possibility? and how would i got about doing this. or is bungie just going to delete my msg once again.....
-
Most likely deleted.. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] fr0ger pk3r does bungie take on challenges? if i was to get a team together and we wanted to try our luck fighting bungie would this be a possibility? and how would i got about doing this. or is bungie just going to delete my msg once again.....[/quote] Most likely deleted.. My group/clan have been barking up that tree for 3 years now. Without one respons... [i]Hey bungie. Want to play a real team?[/i]
-
Hooray Thanksgiving! :) Sound like cool games....WISH I COULD WATCH THE VIDEOS **COUGH** How can I? I can't do that fileshare thing. Any other way?
-
You should have booted 1 guy and played team slayer or skirmish. You should have played good people who came in as a team like you. But you didn't, you pwned some newbs who probably don't even visit Bungie.net. If your going to play "the fans" then play the ones who know how to get kills. Trust me, you wouldn't think its so easy to kill a mauler guy if you played good people who don't run at you from a mile away. You should experience the horror of the mauler on Guardian...THE HORROR!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HeftyButterfly Funny that they didn't include [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=139116516&player=TJ%20Scoot]This Game[/url] in their writeup - it was played immediately after their CTF game. It would've been game number 4 on their humpday writeup... [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=KILLER%20IRISHMAN]Killer Irishman[/url] had a field day with them! ... I just noticed that [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=KILLER%20IRISHMAN]Killer Irishman[/url]'s 'glory shot' is now a picture of him headshotting LukeMS in that very game. [/quote] Now this is what I'm talking about! Why wasn't this on the front page?
-
I think that if the games had been different, like no guests, that the Bungie employees would not have had such an easy chance to win all three games. Just a thought since they I was reading Lukems stickie in Optimatch about playlists and read the rationale for BTB being ranked or unranked. So ridiculous.
-
I don't understand how this is considered 'gaming with fame', I mean all 3 games had 2 guests on the other team... that means 3 people had TINY screens, and 2 of those 3 don't even have their own account/360/halo3 disc. 'Fame' would be people from MLG or even just some of the better randoms off the forums, or even yet, anyone with a level 50 (trust me it's not hard to find them, it took me 2 weeks on/off to get mine). Not to be mean, but you guys only won 50-40 with guests on the opposing team, and you guys actually [i]work[/i] for Bungie. That means people who barely play at all came close to beating the creators of the game itself. Once again, no offense, just pointing out the irony.
-
sweet!
-
they played nubs and guests no skill bungie sry not impressed.
-
Has anyone else noticed how in all the post game screenshots in the humpdays, that even when luke doesnt win it says TJ Scoot placed first? how very odd....
-
Yikes! playin newbs that 4 out of 5 are playing split screen. WOW ! You guys got tha skillz 4 killz ;(
-
Wiener Cake and his merry band of adventurers! LOL!!! Bungies record 5:0 or is it 6:0... anyways great humpday bungie!
