Oldskool Halo
I have been playing Halo online for around one and a half years now and when I first went on I loved it. The was a good vibe about the games, great friendly attitudes, players were helpful to beginners, it was a great community and I made many friends.
It took sometime for me to convince my friend (and fellow clan member: Escelce) to get the xboxlive starter kit and join us. Eventually he did and he played more and more online and loved it as I did.
But, in the first quarter of 2005 we started to notice a change in the experience, as did many others. The community had grown, which is a good thing, but "Trash Talk" became the norm in the end of game lobby. Less and less people would report "good game", instead more and more would report "you're all noobs", "you were owned", some comment about your mom, or derogatory comments about your race, creed or colour and much more.
Then in the later half of 2005 all sorts of cheating, modding and many other offences.
We used to come on Halo to have fun, relax and hone our skills in the game. But, since xboxlive went offline for a day we have noticed and even bigger amount of cheating/modding. This makes it difficult for those of us who want to play a fair game. Now it's come to a point where the game is more stressful than what we were taking time out from to relax.
Why can't we all just get along?
