Bungie doesn't like rumors. They have a long history of busting them.

I am assuming you mean threads, not forums. If a thread is "destroyed", it probably means it broke a rule of some sort. Most likely, it was posted in the wrong forum. New Mombasa is not a forum you should talk about a possible Halo 3, that forum is only for Halo 2 campaign conversations.

If your talking about The Underground, it could be because people are breaking the rules in the thread or because that forum is saturated with Halo 3 speculation with topics that have already been written. Look on the first page, I see three Halo 3 wishlist threads.

It's either rumour being passed off as fact or off-topic. The Underground is on-topic for discussion about the future of Bungie.

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

u know Halo3 hasnt even been announced yet so why even make a Halo3 forum. I think u mean threads in which case people are prob just breaking the rules.

I "reckon" that it's because you know too little.

Let me expand on that. I think that people are making guesses, then assuming that these guesses are true, then using these guesses as the foundations for other guesses. And so on. So the result is going to be, shall we say, "unreliable".

If Bungie wants to stomp really, really hard on runaway rumour-mongering, that's fine by me. I was here for some completely out-of-control rumours (to name four: Halo 1.5/2.5, premium charges for clans on XBL, Single Player Demo Release, Friends List reset) and the forums get very messy with all the shreiking and ranting that comes from the rumours AND from their demolition when the final product actually comes out. (Because, y'know, it's not like these rocket scientists guessed wrong... it's that Bungie "lied" to them.)

So keep on locking 'em when they start to get out of control, mods. I, for one, am tired of hearing the lemmings rile themselves up for another charge over the cliff.

-- Steve wouldn't mind it so much if the lemmings just jumped on their own, without all the shouting.

yo anton p nym, who is this steve character u keep putting at the bottom of ur post. I agree with u too. The game havnt even been announced yet and people already started making threads about Halo3. the first thread i ever saw of Halo3 was the first day H2 came out. that is ridiculous.

I know we cant talk about it, but there can't not be a sequel to Halo 2. The cliffhanger at the end of H2 is to great and Microsoft and Bungie are making so much out of it that it would be stupid not to make a H3

Hah!
Inadvertent Post Of The Year!



Anyhow, Steve hit the nail on the head. The number of times I hear people telling me that Bungie has been 'consistently lying to us', only to have each of the examples they cite turn out to be either rumour or part of the development process and never cited as fact.
