Subject: Bungie has the power to successfully create communism

Ok, don't know if this is the right place to post this thread (most will argue nowhere is the right place) but as the forum name mentioned taking over the world...
Bungie has created the perfect games in which to create communism. Think about it, Spartans don't need to eat, cos they're in a video game. even if you kill them, they respawn, so basically they live forever. They have no needs! Also, everyone spawns equal. If we strive to make a fair vehicle and weapon allocation system, we have achieved a communist paradise. Bungie has made possible in the gaming world what is almost impossible in the real world. So next time you enter a game of Halo 3 online (or halo 2 for you oldskool types), put aside your fight for "their flag" or the most kills. "their flag" is OUR flag, as your flag is theirs. Whether you are red, blue, or any other colour, you should strive to co-operate with every member of every team, to create the utopia that could so easily exist.

Loose talk is noose talk.

Are you talking about communism in the Halo series, or communism here on the forums? Because there is already communism here on the Forums (Through days dark and stormy but Great Frankie led us....).

And this random, but not as random as Stosh's mom.

Sounds like a "random thought you had one day"...

I would argue that communism is not the fundametal idea of the video game. Sure, the equality is there, but equality is found in democracy too. The level system, ranking system, matching system, achievements, and getting all the armor permutations all goes to show that you only get what you earn, which is a principle of democracy. In my opinion, Bungie is not a supporter of communism.

Hello.

Yes, this is random...a little too random.

Exactly. It's not, in fact, Communism, but the principle of earning your status that Halo 3 contains. It's not very fair if you've got a Rocket Launcher and a guy is running at you with a Magnum, but hey, you earned it.

Plus, full equality can't be achieved without making everyone equally powerless.

Bungie is far from perfect like I said in another thread. They have only made a small engraving with their games in the whole entire industry. You should see how small they are compared to Blizzard. Which I think their joining up with vivendi. something like that. Or was it Activision? I think it was like a billion dollar investment or something like that. But dude. This is a weird topic. A game company? communism? What? alright now some one is pulling my leg. Their a Video Game company!!! nothing more. Thats their profession. To make games.

Damn, I haven't changed this in like 4 years...

Bungie COULD create communism, but they won't. And it will be impossible to stand at the enemy flag with a shotgun and think of them and work with them. You see, there's just too many people like me. If Bungie spawned communism, then we'd get perma-banned from matchmaking if we lagged out of a single game. We'd get banned for having too many sticks, or too long of a winning streak. They did it to me in Halo 2 on suspicion of cheating, the rise of communism would spawn all kinds of distrust and stuff like that. We'd see little red books and random Bungie staff assassinations. Frankie would have to lead a rebellion, and Achronos would sleep 4x! Yoozel and Stosh would still accomplish borderline nothing, and Recon Number 54 would cry!

Let's not pull a China, folks.
