Now that the Halo movie is all well and official, would it not be an idea to add another forum to b.net focusing on it, in the same way Halo PC and XBox have their own forums?

Thats a good idea, there are already numerous groups who focus on the Halo movie, so I guess that this would be a viable option, or Bungie could just let the groups take care of themselves.

Yes, it will be necessary in my opinion.

thread about Halo movies will spawn everywhere in b.net. if they dont make a forum quick they might be in for a lot of locking.

Just talked to sketch though...The underground is going to be the place for halo movie discussions.

Ah, fair enough. It'll probably need a description change though for most volk to know that. Oh, and I've got a feeling the myth/marathon/PID discussion there's gonna be swamped [moreso] as time goes by to 2007...

Great idea.

if they use the underground maybe change the pic or add something to the discription.

  • 08.23.2005 1:39 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Oh Sketch, how could you condemn The Underground that way? It's bad enough that it's swamped by Halo 3 and off-topic posts, but there is going to be an insane flood of Halo Movie topics as time goes on....Which I fear will kill the last remnants of Oldschool discussion in The Underground. Please make a Halo Movie Forum, or you are condemning The Underground to a flood of nothing but Halo Movie, Halo 3, and off-topic posts until 2007 (or whenever the movie comes out), since the remaining Oldschool topics will be drowned out by the Halo movie threads.
-EDIT-
dmbfan's idea is even better though.

Maybe an Oldschool only forum should be created. If you think about it, that would be an ever better alternative.

nahh dude, when they announce Halo3 the Halo3 forum will be made and all the topic about Halo3 in the underground will be moved or should get moved. then it shouldnt be as bad.

EDIT: O yeah stosh can u maybe make a sticky in NM that all the Halo movie topics should go in underground. i have seen tons over there.

I'd like to see one. I honestly felt guilty for contributing my own Halo Movie thread to the poor, flooded Underground.

Leaving the Halo movie threads in The Underground is fine with me, but somebody had better change the description of the forum.

"Halo Movie, Bungie General and Old School games", eh?

You're right dmbfan, make The Underground the Halo Movie, Future Bungie games, and Bungie General forum, and then make an Oldschool forum....That would be so great. I'm not sure what it would be called though, since it can't be specific to one game, but it would improve the forums much more than making a Halo Movie forum.

I can remember we talked about this idea before, and the general consensus was to call it "Valhalla".

(Curse the lack of a search feature.)

Edit: I'll be honest, I really don't care if the Underground is full of Halo movie topics. We're not having enough "old-school" discussions to really care that much, right?

Ah, but is that not a symptom of the Underground's disease?

It could be, but what I'm trying to say is the old school discussions are slowing down, and most Old-School topics are from Halo fans wanting to try out Marathon. We really don't need a quiet forum for Marathon/Myth discussion, IMO, it would be better if the forum just existed for encouraging new users into playing the older Bungie games. If there are still the appropriate Stickies relating to the older games, I don't see the problem with it becoming a high-traffic forum.

Well, there is The Library. It's Halo related and isn't that busy.


How do you mean? Relocate "Old School" or "Movie" discussion there?

Or even merge the Maw and the Library into one Halo forum. At least there'd be some more combined activity then.

I think we can all agree that the current forum structure deserves a review.
