I Think that bungie should make a Halo: Reach suggestion Twitter like Infinity Ward did with Modern Warfare 2. Just start a twitter and let people post whatever they want and then just use a computer program to find the most common suggestions. Do what your customer wants, its the foundation of business, the customer is always right. Sure people will suggest outrageous things but that is expected. Bungie should really pay more attention to the community instead of doing their own thing.

i think bungie already knows what their community wants but won't let that get in the way of them making the game they want to. sometimes not listening to the community and letting the proffesionals do their job can be more beneficial.

Who says that they don't look at these forums?

We don't know what we want.

Have you ever heard the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Bungie has been quietly taking in some of their fans advice for years and years. They are much more subtle about it than other companies. And thus far, they have produced arguably the greatest video game franchise of all time.

We have all loved the heck out of all they have come up with thus far. Sure, some fans have their grumblings, it's impossible to make everyone happy.

For them to start copying the competition would be useless.
Leave it in their hands. Or, just play other games. It's that simple.

But let's be honest. No matter how butt-hurt the grumblers get, almost all of them will still have that -blam!- on pre-order.

no that would be horrible. i year the stupidiest ideas from the halo3 community. like dual wielding swords or a covi shotgun... they would ruin the game.

Bungie already listens to their community more than most Game Developers.

The Halo Universe is Bungie's creation. They can do what ever they want with it, like blow up or even glass the surface of earth. The community knows only what Bungie wants it to know, there are still endless scenarios that occur simultaneously with the events that occur with those in the games Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3, there is defiantly endless possibilities of what Bungie can awe you with. If Bungie chooses to...

This make work when you are 1 on 1 with a customer in a store and they are yelling at you because you don't carry shoes in their favorite color, but not when you are dealing with an entire fanbase and you are an entire company.

There are thousands of customers for Halo, and not all of their wants can be met, because frankly, many of them are bloody stupid. Bungie is passionate about their games, its one of the reasons why Halo has been so successful, and they aren't going to let anybody compromise that passion by caving into the demands of people who realize the big picture.

They listen. They are always listening. But that doesn't mean that they are going to do every thing that we say.

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

what he said plus halo 3 is only 1/4 what i though it would be, halo 3 is what happens when they dont listen to their community, halo 3 is pretty much like a add-on to me. the game only got a little better with forge and new weapons and vehicles and maps

this is bungies baby, it's their creation, we as fans are well respected by them and they care about what we want, but you can't expect them to let us dictate the story for them.
