What I remember about Halo

Splitscreen.

[quote name='thela_kid' post='3809450' date='Aug 1 2011, 11:20 PM']I remember when I used to play Halo, my friends and I would create crazy strategies to get the flag and we kept sniping headshots with no zoom. It was fun to play with other people online and talk to them. There were a LOT of servers, and for the most part people played fair. It was a fun experience.

So I decided to play it yesterday.

What I forgot: Every person and their mother playing halo is a complete douche. Nobody has respect for others or the game itself for that matter. Everybody aimbots, there is no cooperation between teammates. Nobody is playing fair nor do they care. You can't go 5 minutes without being insulted or annoyed the shit out of or TK'd. Everybody hits you constantly, fucking annoying pricks. Some asshole on my team nades me off the fucking cliff. There are like 10 servers, and the mods on them kick for nothing. The lag is unbearable some of the time because some prick decides to join the game with dial-up. Everybody's a weapon hog and try to nade vehicles you're about to go into so they can steal it. *Sigh* I'm asking too much from an online game available to 12-year-olds I guess.[/quote]

It's called the internet, welcome. Here, EVERYBODY is a douche bag. Why? Because people think that because they are hiding behind their monitors and not talking in person, they can get away with everything because they think it's "cool". Every game and website and everything associated with internet is infected by this disease.

True. I guess the sanity and intelligence of my fellow 'tempers made me forget that.

Beware of trolls, douchebags, and the "Internet tough guy"

Welcome to PC Halo'ing.

Console Halo'ing isn't nearly as bad, though it's still bad like any online game.

I beg to differ, playing TF2 online results in some awesome conversations a lot of the time.
