Not with a bang, but with a whimper...

I've changed my mind and actually agree with the MODs now.

For they're right, the PMs will, are and have been used very inappropriately in the past, it's essentially doing stuff behind the MODs backs. You may say why don't they ban certain people from using PMs?

Well then they would firstly have to enable an option to monitor all PMs, and then secondly read through all of them. Imagine that, I'd say 300-1000 pms get sent a day possibly, that would take alot of effort and time to monitor it.

 

So if they can't prevent the innapropriate users, then they're gonna have to stop everybody, in order to prevent the bad users.

Just imagine now.

If you wanted to plot a spam/flame attack agaisnt a user for tommorow night, how would you do it via the forums?

PMs. That's how.

But if there were no PMs, there is no way you could possibly do this without the possibility of being caught early.

The MODs have to stop the bad over the good. The forums will live with PMs gone, but if they stay, the possibilities of what might happen is pretty bad.

 

If you really want somebody to blame, blame the people that did the fake BETA PMs. They brought PMs to the attention of the MODs, they showed them how PMs can so very easily be misused. So you can blame these guys for ruining PMs. Sure there might have been other times PMs have been used badly, but this is the first time it publicly got out, so thanks to these guys, the MODs have no choice but to remove the options to PM, so as to prevent this from occuring in the future.

 

For remember, if they were to manually ban those users, they would have to manually look through every PM in that time period to find who was sending them out. That is alot of PMs.

 

There we go, hopefully I've shown some people the MODs have no choice.

It's still a bad idea.

Well, I agree[look at the sig], but there isn't anything we can do except boycott or something[like they care]. After all they're God and we're little, insignificant bugs. And besides, how am I supposed to give my FF ratings to Civ secretly without PMs??

Hi I'm from Austria (Europe) and 14 years old so please excuse if my english isn't that good.

I'm a huge Halo fan and I deffently will buy Halowars. But there are also a few things that I don't like. I think this game isn't 100% Halo. I take for example the Flamethrower Marines. I've never seen Flamethrower Marines in Halo before and I personally think flamethrowers suck... For another example there is this strange exoscelet thing... whatever.

I can understand the developers that they put in these units cause it's hard to make an RTS game only with the units from a shooter but those two units schuldn't be in the game any more if you ask me.

Leipzig was really cool you are right but I heard some voices which aren't that enthusiastically. Citation: "Halowars is really nice. In a hole it's very easy. It's good that the Controls are easy but maby the rest is too easy. I mean only because I'm a console player I'm not stupid... I can stand more Strategy." I can't say If he's right cause i never played Halowars but you schould think about the comment.

An other point is the base. I think in a whole it was a good idea to design it like this. But there should be a wall or some other Defense arrangements around it except the four defense towers. It looks very easy to atack for me.

In a whole the game isn't bad but these are the things wich I personally don't like. Please don't forget it's Halo...

Thxal and have a nice day...

PS: Don't be angry if it was a little too much critism.

You pretty much took my sentiments exactly. Now I'm off to buy spore to boost my god complex :P

Nice English, too bad though. The exoskeleton is the Cyclops, which nobody likes and Ensemble Studios won't take it out no matter how much we beg. The Vulture sucks eggs. hey changed the bases to make the game faster and easier, deal with it. I hope this answer some stupid questions you may or may not have asked.

thats far too tall....

 

 

 My signature is about the maximum dimension for signatures (slightly smaller)

 

the MAXIMUM dimension your allowed to have is 125 pixels high by 400 pixels wide

I used to have an awesome signature that linked to my comic here...

too bad... goodbye any feeling of personalization on the HWF... 3 years of sig making for this website down the drain

I always use 400 x 100.

The cyclops just seems like something from Star Wars, not Halo

The old open plot base was easier to attack because you were able to charge in blow the thing up. The new base is more tight spaced and harder to reach certain places.
