Why is Halo MM so depressing
What good has it done? What happiness has it brought? All it does is spread negative feelings and atmosphere. Look at this forum for example. Constant arguments and complaining. 'Your KD is low your bad' 'Iron boosters in arena are bad kids' 'whoever doesn't have more than a 50% W/L ratio in MLG is bad'. Why do people feel so compelled to argue about such trivial stuff? Same with Halo 3, just people arguing about true skill and 50s constantly.
I'll sum up the threads you find in Halo 3 and Reach forums
Reach
I've been banned
Reach sucks
KD and WL
Bad kids
MLG
Halo 3
Team Slayer boosters
50s
Derankers
Lol49 bad kids
This player is better than all of you
Seriously, why is there no happy atmosphere around this game and this forum? It's like as soon as you enter this forum or even a matchmaking game ts full of hostility and deadly seriousness, like your being pressured to accept this game as a matter of life and death.
So if you are getting depressed from Halo MM, why not take a break for a while?

It appears the discussion will be about MM, but your OP is about cynicism in the forums. I clicked on your thread anticipating a serious discussion about Halo. Instead I get a meta-complaint thread. This is ironic, because your OP pleads for more mature discourse. Reach MM [b]is[/b] depressing. So many herp kids and derp game mechanics. One who has been with Halo from the beginning can become saddened by what Halo has become. [/quote] I was trying to make a connection between cynicism and Halo MM itself, since it seems to be the source of it. You don't see a lot of arguments and insults and aggressiveness associated with campaign discussion or anything else.[/quote] He makes a good point with that. But, it is the internet, and people can flame as the are safe behind their PC Screen. Bungie Forumns, and im pretty sure every other forum has the same problem. You get some really good threads, you ger some pointless threads. Ignore the pointless ones, and post in the good ones. Problem solved. Every time you post in a pointless thread and comment how bad it is, you bump it back to the top of the forum list. = FAIL. Which is pretty much what I have done here, damm.
