Subject: Best April Fools Day Prank

Posted by: urk
Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

What would be the best prank Bungie could pull on April 1st? I hope Bungie does something evil.

My idea is that, if Lockout is in fact Moonlight Sonata, they say its the third map on the 30th or 31st. They just have to say it too. No pictures, no videos, very little about changes in the map. That'll get people in an uproar about whether or not its the newest map. People would get pissed that they "didn't" make a Lockout remake. I'd laugh my ass off if they officially gave pictures, facts, and such on the 1st. That would be such an awesome double bluff.

What do you think Bungie could do to fool the community?

I know that is pretty much what Bungie has said, but still people hate that level (I think its alright) and want a real Lockout remake. You also have to admit, evidence is pretty convincing there will be a remake.

Besides, a Lockout remake does fit perfectly into my prank. Seriously, what do you guys think would be awesome?

Where did Bungie say that? If I remember correctly, in one of the few Weekly What's Updates where someone mentioned Guardian being a poor alternative to Lockout, Bungie replied saying something along the lines of "Guardian was never made to replace Lockout..."

Don't get me wrong nothing I would like to see more than a replica of lockout add a little swat and damn good games. But lock out has so much resemblances already to guardian.

There's a difference between a remake and a spiritual successor.

(Never really meant for this to be a Guardian/ Lockout discussion...)

Guardian does have certain gametypes working for it. Swords/ Hammers, Slayer, SWAT, KotH, and Oddball all perform well on the level. Its also a good map aesthetically. Its a very unique jungle ridden Forerunner structure. But honestly, it is a Lockout-esque map that isn't as good as the original. People still want a Lockout, even if that means forsaking Guardian.

To that I will agree. Even though I hate all swords/hammers/shotgun game types.
As for remakes and successors. Guardian is a successor last resort pisses me off one how lame the remake became.

WRONG!

Guardian is similar to Lockout, but Lockout is a hell of a lot better.

It'd be even more evil if they did give everyone Recon, even if it was for a day, and say they had a new, special armour no ones ever seen. Oh, that would be hilarious.

Are you people kidding me? How would you feel if Bungie reset your account to Recruit for a day? That would be one of the worst things I can think of, but nobody would take it as a joke.

I have a prank that would be similar to that. Bungie could replace all of our symbols with a recruit one or something like that, but you would still have all ur xp.

Well, my idea has been foiled. Still, what are some good ideas?

(Woohoo for Lockout!)

April Fools is on a Tuesday which is bad, since Tuesday is Bungie's favourite day of the week
(tuesday is 7 letters long) and normally posts new info on tuesdays (other the weekly updates)

Maybe something to do with the April Playlist Update
