With the release of the 360 only maps and then Halo 3 ~ the optimatch forum needs a new picture. The current one shows an Xbox, but we know the original Xbox will now longer be playable on MM when the new maps release. And Halo 3 is 360 only, so the forum needs to have a 360 instead of the original Xbox.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Um... When was it said that the regular xbox won't work with any MM once the new maps are out?

When H3 is out, a new picture would only be appropriate. But I would just wait for the update to the site first, and see what things are like then. I would expect that changes like that are part of it.

The probability of the forums changing with the new site is about 99.3%

I think The Flood needs a bigger picture, its too small, other "minor forums" should have their picture enlarged too.

The Flood is one of the most active forums..

When the newness comes around, could there be some disappointment given that Achronos said the site will not be near as image heavy? If so, you could be asking for pics that could be obsolete.

Posted by: Achronos
The new site will have a significantly smaller page weight (it is not nearly as image heavy, and has only 5 style sheets). After the first request, it gets even smaller because things are cached.


Still, it is my opinion that some graphic that acts as an anchor for each forums does look nice.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

Guess we will find out when the new site is rolled out. I have a feeling some forums will be renamed.

Right. Just like when the first DLC came out, you couldn't play matchmaking without it.

Oh wait.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Cause it is inexorably too difficult for Bungie Studios to create a unique playlist for those willing to play...

I'm sorry, but your idea Foxtrot Tango Lima...

The same exact thing was said here not too long ago with pretty much the same exact wording, and, if l'm not mistaken, which l very well may be, l think you posted it too.

lol i see wut u did thar!

Wasn't there a thread about this a few months ago? :\ I mean, Halo 2 is for the original Xbox, not for the 360. The original Xbox should stay, until Halo 3, at least. (although I don't know the web teams plans after that, so, we'll see what happens to it)

That would be a good idea. I think that forums like optimatch should probably have updated pictures to "improve" the forum. I don't know how it would though.

The new maps are 360 only ~ there is an update on it, and Frankie often says the "360 maps". This isn't really a post about that ~ it needs a new picture.
