Bungie is one hell of a developer. There games may not be the best, but they do a lot for their community.
Now You Can Shut Up Racist 13-Year-Olds In Halo: Reach!
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I HATE 13 kids acting like there so cool on games like Halo 3, MW2, etc. I may be a young teen too, but i'm not a high pitched screaming little sh*t...i'm a extremely low pitched optimist...i'm just really angry right now...i should get some more sleep...
Maybe it'll hinge on what other players say. Sort of like how the main account has those stars.The Red Spy said:
Too bad I don't care for Halo. Though I might just rent it.
Did you even check the prices? Right off the bat, to play online it costs you $50 dollars. On the PS3, that's basically a game. And then you have to keep paying that. Plus, you also have to add the fact that you get more with the PS3 off the bat. Within 10 minutes of opening your PS3, you can play demos or watch videos. You can even play some old classics.HG131 said:
Wow, I think I may finally be able to consider the Xbox as more than just a Netflix player now. Way to go Bungie, hopefully everyone else with multiplayer games on the system gets with this innovation.
awesome.
I'm always in favor of anything that works against the moronic offensive internet masses.
This reminds me of a glorious time when I was trying to enjoy some FPS goodness.
There was this horrid little rude offensive jerk that used hacks in the FPS me and my friends had been playing, you know the type, talked big game like he was the biggest most macho dude of all time and he didn't care cause he could kick everybody's butt.
Well.
Thing was, this kid, was a freshman in my college that I was finishing up two degrees at, was in my program. I ended up connecting the in game handle to the kid playing in our comp lab.
So one particularly offensive spree where he was really blatantly hacking and pretty much rubbing it in everyone's face and calling us wusses for not hacking and how he'd kick our butts in real life as well...well I couldn't resist....I got up, walked into the lab he was at and tapped him on the shoulder. The screen was all blaring with his green and yellow Chams. I chatted him up about how he liked the game, he inquired if I played, I say well sure of course I do, and he asked my handle so he could add me as a friend.
I told him and he went completely white, stammered, and generally turned into a blubbering whimpering mess.
That, is what every one of those offensive little jerks is like. Behind the shield of internet anonymity they're big men, but in person, they're blubbering little wimps.
So yay for one more thing that inhibits those kinds of people's ability to foul up our game experiences

If the "destroying the trachea of Xbox Live teenagers" feature becomes a reality, I may just sign back up.
Hmm, polite tone.
"Wait a go, that'll show them, look at how you took that grenade to the face."
"Hey, good friend, I would like to warn you I'm sticking my spartan crotch in your defeated face."
"Woo hoo, look at our low score, great effort team! We tried our hardest!"
Seems like it's be open to alot of snark bait.

If its just a mute button then big deal.
If you get enough mute bans and they temporarily ban you for it then it's awesome.
EX: Little 8yr old screaming into mic, gets 20/20 mutes required in a 48 hour period and is banned for a week.

I don't think I said half the things you have me saying in that quote.
*goes back and checks*
Yeah, I didn't. You might want to clear that up.
As for your idea:

Defeats the purpose of having a mute option in the first place, in part, and still abusable in my hypothetical layout: troll enters polite game, mutes three occupants, goes on about his day. Repeat as often as he likes each day. This is actually worse than the original idea in some ways as it limits the number of trolls you can mute in a day (and I get the feeling you'll meet more than three if you circulate in public games much) while still allowing for your "impolite" gamers to drive-by mute undeserving targets, albeit a limited number. You get restricted on being able to mute annoyances and they can still throw the tool right back at you. I don't see the upshot.slopeslider said:
What do they mean "racist 13-year-olds"? I have a PS3 instead of a 360 so I wouldn't know. Do they mean kids calling you "******" or something? That's ugly, but it's not often actually used as a racist term so much these days as a general insult. I mean, what if you're white? Then it's not racist, it's just silliness.
Wow, that sounds a little paranoid. My first generation 360 that I got about 1 month after release from a pawn shop has been vertical for its entrie lifespan. I have never taken my discs out before shutting it off, and I've actually knocked it accidentally while it was playing and it kept running (there was a hiccup in the graphics, but it returned to normal). I might just be one of the lucky ones, but I've never had any problems with my 360 (my dad bought himself an Elite recently, and I got the invincible first gen, hooray).Phoenixlight said:
Well done Bungie! Hopefully the rest of the video game industry will take note on this.
EDIT: Maybe even the rest of society? We can only hope.
