Subject: The Halo 3 Forum - Name Change?

Epic Films
Check us out for Halo movies!

Every other forum has a unique name here on Bungie.net, such as New Mombasa, The Maw, Voting Booth, etc. However, the Halo 3 forum is simply that - Halo 3 forum. I (and probably many others) find that quite bland. Perhaps this is because the game hasn't come out yet, or Bungie doesn't exactly have time to consider silly forum names.

Anyway, if you feel the forum needs a name change, post your ideas here. If not, state your reasons. Eventually, I'll make another topic with a poll.

If they gave it a name it would have to be Halo 3 related, and given the fact that the game has not yet released, it would be unwise to change it because it may give away part of the game. A couple weeks after the game ships I can see them changing the name, but not anytime soon.

I bet like RedPhoenix 57 said, after the game's release they'll change it. My guess is it will be called, "The Ark".

You say tomato; I say potato.

I think "Earth City" would work.

I think "Infinite void of rampant unorganized carnage" would suit the Halo 3 forum quite well.

I seem to remember Achronos saying that all the forums were going to be renamed for their purpose, so New Mombasa would be renamed "Halo 2 General" or something to that effect.

Although, if this doesn't come to pass, I think "The Ark" would suit it fine.

You have a true and valid point in which every forum has a unique name. Bungie.net, as you can see here, has the forum links. You may notice the description of each forum below the titles, but many others are not very observant. Since most of the forums are relatively old, Bungie.net members already know what each forum is for. Now, most of the new users and members of Bungie.net primarily visit for Halo 2 statistics and Halo 3 information. For the convenience of those members, Bungie named that forum simply the "Halo 3 Forum" so it stands out. They did this because with a different name, people who are unaware of the Bungie.net rules and forums, would most likely post Halo 3 topics in other forums, which is unnecessary. Although even with the Halo 3 Forum and the brief descriptions of each forum, users still do not follow the rules.

Therefore Bungie may or may not come up with a unique name for the Halo 3 Forum, but for right now it is irrelevant. At this time, switching the name of the Halo 3 Forum would just cause more problems, which I am sure Bungie.net does not need. There is also no reason why you should create a new thread regarding this topic.

This gets back to the whole forum name argument. If it was named non-literally, though i doubt this'll happen, i've always thought The Ark seemed the most appropriate.

I like The Ark.

Me thinks they will rename it when the game launches. Or perhaps not.

Reading books is lame especially ones that arent evn true.

I like the names the way they are. I hope they don't change them to more literal names. That would just be stupid.

Yes, I thought they would probably change it after the game is released as well...

....

So here we are, half a year away. Any ideas?

Exactly. There are enough wrongly placed threads already.

  • 03.18.2007 11:19 AM PDT

theres a chance the name is changed , but that would be one of the worsest atrocities ever made even when they changed the day the game was coming out , and yes cortana deserves it..

  • 03.18.2007 11:23 AM PDT

feel sad ? cut your veins !

they said that halo 3 was going to be only microsoft and truly i hope so if not, then the 360 will lose all hope of winning the console war( microsoft 2nd sony 3rd and uh... nintendo 1st) so if they dare to make it a playstation game we are DOOMED

  • 03.18.2007 11:29 AM PDT
