BUT. That video I posted in the public chatroom changes it.
This is about something I hate even more than MW2, even more than anime.
Ranting of WoW begins here.

Keep in mind it is way too easy to become addicted to playing it. There are actually video game rehabilitation centers that have been created to help people off of the addiction of World of Warcraft, earning it the nickname of 'Warcrack'.

So, the nerds that play this are almost as bad as MW2 nerds. Almost.
At least they don't speak in internet slang on MW2.
WoW Player: Roffle, you only have 8 K-D-P and 20 D-P-S. You nubb.
I mean, seriously, you are TALKING. I find it very easy to TYPE with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Speaking is 20x easier.
I hate WoW even more than MW2.
I am very glad I never had the misfortune to play this game.
Here are your types of WoW players.

Level 1: The Degenerates.
A degenerate is a person who has started playing World of Warcraft but hasn’t yet fallen victim to its evil trap. A beginner, or in the circle of MMORPG’s, a “newb,” hasn’t been around long enough to do permanent damage to their social lives. It usually takes about one week or about 168 in-game hours to work your character up to a playable level. Currently, the highest level is 120. Once one invests this amount of time in the game, they graduate from being Degenerates to the next level:

Level 2: The half-breeds.
This is the gateway level. Now it’s fight or flight. From here you can go in two directions. One is the glorious path to social normalcy; the other is the self destructive path whose same fate is shared by terrorists and those Heaven’s Gate idiots. Picture a videogame playing Gollum, slowly decaying in front of a monitor mumbling words with unnecessary vocal inflections and repetitious wording. You’d be surprised how quickly “My Precious” can turn into “My Paladin is being gay!” The half breeds are addicted but not hooked enough to plan their social lives around it. This is where being poor becomes an advantage. Blizzard (YOU DID SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE) charges a monthly fee for World of Warcraft, and at this point in their addiction, I trust that these people will spend their hard-earned welfare checks like normal poor people: gambling and booze. One can hope. However, if they choose to take the low road, they become:

Level 3: The Nightcrawlers.
Aptly named because they are annoying and constantly covered in dirt. They are similar to vampires, except instead of deriving sustenance from human blood, their sustenance comes from Mountain Dew. It becomes their nectar. A Nightcrawler has little hope of reaching a socially acceptable level. They are so addicted to this game that the only things slowing them down are the patches Blizzard implements to update and fix its poisonous game. Nightcrawlers are social carcasses, probably do not have jobs, and live with their parents but won’t mention that on their facebook profiles. It’s a problematic web of body odor, caffeine, and lies.

One of the arguments for this game is that the races are awesome, and the game play is always full of action. Here is one of the races you can choose from. Gnomes.
Yes, a gnome. The same awesome race famous for stealing underwear, and the Nick Jr. cartoon, “David the Gnome,” where his voice was played by none other than Tom Bosley. Very badass indeed.
The action? A fight: BIG FLASHY SPELL WAKAKAKA *Swing sword 200 times* RAWR *Death*. Repeat until you have rotted alive.

Here's how lame it gets:
A player supposedly died in real life and the members of his/her WoW “clan” held an online memorial service for him/her, which is a high-ranking gesture on the dork scale, right up there with bragging about your fluency in Klingon at a Trekkie convention. The funeral was then raided by another clan who killed the mourners, who in turn cried about it on their website.

The real losers aren’t just the people who attended an RPG funeral, but the people who choose to spend 97% of their time online, running to places only to stand around and play grabass with each other like big elvin sissies.

You could do that in real life and you wouldn’t have to pay 15 bucks a month for it. The only thing you need is your thumb, ass, and a chair. This is just one example of how people are taking this game too seriously. Not enough to convince you?

There is a video that exists of someone getting caught jerking off to a character in WoW. A fucking night elf I bet. Fucking blizzard making hot elf chicks. Please note that this was a video of someone getting CAUGHT, which should speak volumes about the number of people who actually do this without getting caught. Over 60% of the internet consists of porn on some level. So you know this guy wasn’t strapped for material. This was as calculated and intentional as it was unintentionally hilarious.

Between crying about your level 57 undead mage, online funerals, and repulsive tastes in internet porn, WoW is a virtual leech on the future of humanity. You may laugh now, but you’ll be changing your tune soon when a huge percentage of the population turns into Nightcrawlers. It will only get worse from here. God help us all when WoW 2 is inevitably released. Resist it, please.

One man said he dated a girl who played WoW. He says that she was the most disgusting and lazy bitch he had ever met. All she did was play that damn game. He had to clean her apartment. He said she was one of the most lazy and un-hygenic people he had ever met. He broke up with her after 2 weeks. Good for him.

Here are the words of an original WoW user (This guy doesn't know that spaces come after periods):
As a long time player(since vanilla wow)I must say this game has gone fail in so many ways.The community is the worst I have ever experienced in any MMORPG. Also with each new patch it just seems to dumb down the game to entice new players, and make it way too easy to get anything that was once considered a "real achievement" such as the warlock Dread Steed questline. Now you simply "train"for it. Very sad. Glad I finally quit about six months ago. I wish Blizz all the success in the future(because we all know that they will continue to make assloads of money off of the next expansion.)New races with the same abilities as the old ones? FTW. LOL. seriously this game should just go away,and die a quiet death. Just my 2 cents worth. (I corrected puncuation)

Before you call me a prejudice retard and attempt to defend this piece of cow shit, I will tell you that I have done the research. If you want evidence just ask.

God help us all when WoW 2 is inevitably released. Resist it, please.

Blizzard, go to hell.

i like WoW. but that may be because i have no social life.

I have no social life either, but I don't like WoW.

thats because you have friends.


(not emo, i just dont have friends i hang out with)

Zero, this is the internets. i do whatever i want on here.

i obviously dont act like this in public. alot of people do crazy shit on the internet that they wouldnt do in the real world.

You only act so differently on the internet because you lack self control; a problem most humans have. You are now officially one of the sheep, following your shepherd--your leader--until the day you die.

oh fuck you aether youve been nothing but a pain in my side the second you entered this forum. have some fucking respect for your elders, ive been here longer than you.

You may have seniority, but that does not make you an elder. That makes you a senior member. I am, in fact, 4 years older than you. So, if you will, show your elders some respect, young boy.

Guys, guys, guys.

Aether, don't judge people. It is against the laws of physics to judge someone over the internet. People act like retards over the internet because they can't get their teeth knocked out on the internet.

Ninja... has a point. Just let him blow off some steam. Life is a bitch.

"Don't take life too seriously. No one ever got out alive anyway."

I did not write this. I agree with it on all accounts.

First of all, wall of text incoming.
I KNOW THIS IS THE BETA, BUT HALO 3's BETA ACTUALLY RESEMBLED THE GAME THAT CAME INTO STORES IN SEPTEMBER. AND IF THIS RESEMBLES REACH AT ALL, IM NOT GETTING IT. I'm a huge Halo fan, but when I see something wrong with this franchise I'm not going to kiss Bungies ass and tell them everything is fine and dandy when you all know it's not.


I would like to start off by saying, that I have been playing Halo since about 2006. On a older account I had about 4,000 games of Halo 2 played. While I wasn't real good at it, I enjoyed it. It was awesome. I have over 10,000 games of Halo 3 played (7,000 on this account and 3,000+ on the previous account I mentioned and other accounts I've had with fewer games.) I have every single Halo book, figures and statues etc. and every single Halo game (CE, 2, 3, Halo Wars, ODST) (I bought CE from games on demand a few months back and beat it.)

Now You can see by my Halo 3, and Halo 2 stats I am decent at the game. I have a 50 in doubles (H3) 1.12 ranked, and 1.17 social in Halo 3, The only Halo 2 games on this profile are from the last night of Halo 2, but I have 100+ more kills than deaths. So I'm not bad at Halo games... But then you look at my Reach stats. I HAVE 200+ more deaths than kills in this game. Why? Because this game is so noob friendly. It's not because it takes more skill. (Say Halo: Reach takes more skill to Halo 2 to anyone, and they will laugh.)

I mean really, Look at my Halo 3 stats, 21,000, TWENTY ONE THOUSAND BR kills, this is just one of a quite a few accounts. And how many kills do I have with the DMR and pistol? Under 50 in 50 games. The DMR, Pistol, and Reticule Bloom suck. Once you get someone down to no shield its all luck as to whos bullet will find the opponents head first. And you can't time your shot when now someone can just sprint away to cover. In Halo 3 the assault rifle, the gun that you spawned with was my 4th most used weapon behind BR, melee, and sniper. In Reach it's by far the 1st. That's saying something.

Armor abilities are so incredibly ridiculous and stupid, you cant run, you cant jump. This isn't a Halo game. No one should be able to fly around the entire map in a jetpack, no one should be invisible on command, no one should be invulnarable for 5 seconds, no one should sprint! WHY?!?! Seriously, what the hell was wrong with power ups? In Halo 3 the bubble shield, grav lift etc. were fine. Picking up the big red and blue balls for Overshield and Camo was fine! AA are soooo stupid. The spartans aren't spartans they are like ordinary men in suits with ridiculous powerups that you can use over and over and over and over. Reticule bloom is the worst Idea I've ever seen in a Halo game. Reticule bloom is fine for games where you actually die in realistic amount of time. But this is HALO!!!!! The DMR takes 5 headshots for a kill, that's nice except for the fact that 2 bullets actuall hit his head. And I can't pace my shots because the guy can now fly away in a jetpack, sprint off into cover, or just run off into these crowded maps.

What a pathetic game. I am shocked that this was in production for over 2 years.

This is actually really sad. The game franchise that I sold my PS2 for has turned inot this. I tried so hard to defend this game against people that said it looked stupid etc. But I honestly can't defend it anymore. I thought for sure that Bungie wouldn't put something like AA in if it greatly effected gameplay, boy was I wrong.

And once again, I know it's a beta. But a beta is to fix bugs, things like AA, and Reticule Bloom aren't bugs they were put in the game by Bungie as a thing to stay, and unfortantaly it probably will.

I really hope you guys delay this games release and actually make a Halo game. Because this is honestly a huge dissapointment.

And for you idiots that didn't read the whole thing or think I'm just flaming to flame you're wrong.. I loved Halo, sold my PS2 for Halo 2, midnight release for Halo 3, bought Halo Wars and ODST first thing in the morning because they didn't have a midnight release, and have spent 3/4 of my gaming life on this franchise. And this beta has REALLY turned me off of Reach.. I honestly don't know if I'm even going to get it anymore.. Extremely dissapointed Bungie.. Extremely..









My reply:

agree. Completely.

This game really makes me just as mad as I was in CoD. CoD was full of those annoying tactics of camping, noob tubers, grenade spammers, etc... I quit CoD about 6 months ago, after realizing that all the anger was just not worth it. I never got too angry in Halo 3, because it was so well balanced out. Very little problems other than the teamkillers, but they were dealt with with the nice boot system.

I was pretty good at Halo 3, I usually got at least 12 kills per game.

Reach, I barely get to 5 kills a game. Most often I find myself being blown up by random grenades, or assassinated by a camper with unlimited stealth camo.

The 2 current maps are unbalanced, the guns are completely unbalanced.

The classes:

Stalker: Players easily see the camo, and why is the sound blotted out whenever you cloak? I find that annoying and it kind of disrupts trying to hear enemies.

Airborne: Pretty much what everyone uses. Go, fly down on someone's head. Shoot them, and pray to win the fight. Like this guy said, fights are just whittling eachother's shields down, then praying that your bullet hits the other's head first. Only other way to get good kills is to get shot from behind.

Guard: Armor lock is annoying. I find myself shooting a player, happy to get a kill, then he just locks down. Then one of his buddies comes along, or another enemy and kills me while I wait for him to unlock. When I try to use it, I find it useless. It only stalls death, gives time for the enemy to think. Damage is worthless, because range is so pathetic.

Scout: No one uses. I can't tell you how many times I have been nearly to a kill, then they sprint away.

Elites: Stronger than spartans, right? I think invasion is going to be a complete failure of a game mode. Elites will win every time, unless the spartans get a hold of the overpowered weapons.

You can tell this game does not take much skill.

In Halo 3, I gradually got better, finding out all the neat little secrets, getting generally better. In games like CoD and Reach, you just find out the big secret of the game: grenades, launchers, or camping, and there you have it, you are now an instant "pro".





All my favorite gaming companies are going to hell. Blizzard, bungie. What's next?

I don't see the point of complaining here. I think you'll have more luck mopping this all over Bungie's home forum.

My Reply
Atomic i disagree with it big time. Ur just a noob at halo reach.
I could do halo's campaign on legendary without even needing to play it and learn. (thats wut i did with halo 3 at my cousin's house)

Noobs complain about weapons and getting killed. Learn how to play it (they needa make a how not to be a noob in halo: reach video like they did in Battlefield bad company 2) or be called a noob. I don't see luck in any of the videos and they arn't just the good parts or bad. I seen an entire online (well 3) matches on stockpile mod and 1-flag ctf at gamespot. Stop being a noob and just learn how to play.

Plz note i warned you NOT to fucking post about Halo:reach for it'll only start a flame war. Check chatbox if u don't believe.
Heres the archives from it
[21:56:08 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : hello sparto

[21:56:17 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : DON'T GET THE REACH BETA

[21:56:29 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : this is NOT halo.

[21:56:41 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : it just plain sucks.

[21:56:47 05/05/10] SpartanMario : lol

[21:56:57 05/05/10] SpartanMario : random..

[21:57:00 05/05/10] SpartanMario : from the videos

[21:57:00 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : ODST was half assed, but Reach was a complete failure.

[21:57:09 05/05/10] SpartanMario : i luv it

[21:57:10 05/05/10] SpartanMario : xd

[21:57:11 05/05/10] SpartanMario : xD

[21:57:23 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : from the videos. the videos lie.

[21:57:29 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : they only show good parts.

[21:57:42 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : about 90% you will die from grenades.

[21:57:46 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : they are so overpowered.

[21:57:55 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : they made it like fucking COD

[21:57:59 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : so noob friendly

[21:58:04 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : halo 3 actually took skill

[21:58:09 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : COD took a little. not much

[21:58:13 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : reach takes barely any

[21:58:30 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : if you know how to throw grenades in that game, or abuse armor abilities, you are now a pro!

[21:58:42 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : *rant*

[21:58:45 05/05/10] Atomic_Fire : posting.....

[21:58:48 05/05/10] SpartanMario : or u just hate the new game

[21:58:52 05/05/10] SpartanMario : I wouldn't

Look at the red underline where atomic says the videos show only the good parts. They do not only show the good parts but everything, including your so called 90% getting killed by a frag. I don't see in the video 90% of the time of people getting killed by a frag. YOU DON'T DIE 90% OF THE TIME FROM FRAGS. Plz don't start a flame war.

and the final part that i pulled from the archives where i say i wouldn't do that atomic...

WARNED YOU
NOTE: ATOMIC IF I FIND THIS POST EDITED IN ANY WAY I SHALL ASK ZERO TO REMOVE YOUR MODERATOR POWERS PERMANTLY

Zero mind putting this in the locked section? This is going to start too many flame wars this post is.

I thought i knew atomic, use to play with him the most. For the last year he has been becoming more of a stranger to me.

You have become more of a stranger to me, spartan.

You both have become more of a stranger to me. This is why I wanted to delete these rants immediately.

Spartan, you have not even played the beta, have you?

I am a pro at Halo 3. And I suck at Reach? Think there is a problem here?

I laugh at how quickly they all turn to "Just because you suck doesn't mean its a bad game"

About your feat in Halo 3: Nice, I respect that. It isn't Reach.


And the guy who said that it isn't halo, who I called NOM.
He had 21000 kills with the Battle Rifle. TWENTY ONE THOUSAND. He was a pro at Halo 2 and 3. In Reach, he has less than 50 kills in under 50 games. See a problem here?


And zero, I already did put this on bungie's forum.

Spartan, don't defend a game you have never played. It would be me trying to say that God of War sucks, or that (suckish PS3 game) is awesome.



Spartan I could own almost anyone in Halo 3. In Reach, the fights are just whoever whittles down shields first, then you pray that your bullet gets to their head first.

Tell me that after playing the beta.

Atomic one thing i know is this-
Noobs complain about being killed too much. Just play the fucking game and don't complain. I bet you that none of the videos have the player 90% of the time being killed by frags or throwing frags. And i'm talking about the videos that show an entire match.

And i can defend what i want, and still kill u in it. if i had an xbox360 idk if you would be on my list or not

Look at this, atomic since u can't shut up this escalted into a flame war, i vote for this to be locked
