I hate you so much...

I like pies.

I don't understand how people could think it isn't. It's not Halo 4 and the events of REACH happen before Halo CE

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Seriously, people who doubted it being a prequel need to pay attention to the facts. We didn't need confirmation. It was blatantly obvious not only by the name of the title, but by the content of the trailer as well.

everyone knows its a prequel

  • 06.01.2009 10:25 PM PDT

Fall 2010? I hate when games are announced so far ahead of time. Oh well, I'm excited.

  • 06.01.2009 10:25 PM PDT

A sticky for me? Surely you jest. Lol.

It also states it's a "Shooter" and it's to be released in "Fall 2010".

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Well unfortunately not everyone uses common sense.

Not from my point of view. I keep seeing speculations of a continuation in many forums across the internet, including this one.

LOL. Are you serious? Have you been in this forum for more than 30 seconds? lol.

WE know this... but there always has to be a group of people who think the sky is purple for some reason...

Okay, maybe we should get this to stick. There are still more topics being updated about speculation of the release window and prequel/sequel debate.

yeah no. really. it needs to happen... cause this forum is gonna be clogged with this until the WWU... why have you forsaken your new forum, bungie? lol.

  • 06.01.2009 10:35 PM PDT

Yeah I wondered this too.

This will also stop the speculation of the genre and release window.

No. It wont. lol. I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket on that "shooter" stamp either. I believe that TF2 was classified as a shooter a well. Time will tell. I just got tired of reading the same halo 4/ going back in time/ soffish saves the MC threads.. lol.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

Finally, some evidence to stop the arguements.

  • 06.01.2009 10:42 PM PDT

Well earlier today some where discussing whether this was going to be an RTS, RPG element game, etc.

Shooter at least narrows it, if even slightly.

  • 06.01.2009 10:43 PM PDT

Though while I'm still here does anyone have an idea on how to request a sticky? In short is there a sequence we have to follow?

  • 06.01.2009 10:44 PM PDT

I`m color blind what color is the sky?

You'll need to find out which mods are on. Doubtful at best. Bungie will put up an FAQ in the next few weeks. Just macro your link. lol.
