Perhaps this has already been requested, but maybe if another request comes in, it will be more likely to be taken into consideration. Anyways, I would like to ask for a new forum that is for rumor and speculation. The Underground has become a mess of "Halo 3 OMGerz" threads which are really tickinn a lot of people off. If people want to read ideas and speculation about upcoming games, I'm sure they will go to another forum to do it if they have to. Thanks for your time.

Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

Why make a new forum for it? The Underground is still the place for it. "Bungie General." Bungie's next game is just that.

We don't like it, but making a moderator's job harder doesn't make things better. They would still go to the Underground or Zanzibar anyway. Why make a useless forum?

There will be a Halo 3 thread when Halo 3 is announced.

Making a "Rumour, Speculation, & Bungie's next project" forum would mean that The Underground would be a place where people could actually discuss Bungie general. You do realise that there are more games than Halo that people may want to talk about?

* The Marathon series.
* Oni
* Myth and its sequel

Right now we cannot as The Underground is flooded with Halo 3 topics, which means that threads about other games often sink before fellow old-school gamers can reply.

This has been covered in the past. If such a forum was created, certain gullible members of this forum (and the community in general) would think that Halo 3 is confirmed. And as we are all painfully aware- any acknowledgment of "Halo 3" is being avoided by Bungie like a big slice of Limburger cheese on your dinner table.

So no, it's not going to happen until Bungie's next project is announced.

How would it be confirmed if the word "Halo" wasn't even mentioned?

After all those of the community gullible enough, already have enough "proof" that there will be a Halo 3.

Link. Wow, since IGN have announced it, it must be true!


I personally would love it if Bungie's next title was P@S, simply so I could laugh at all those Halo 3 thread-makers. More than I do already.

Bungie General IS speculation of their next project, whether old school gamers like it or not.

If you post something about Myth, it'll sink REAL fast, unless one of the certain few people who post about Myth (Psyched, Sardonic, Ghandi, etc) is online.

Otherwise it just drops to the bottom (if Halo people don't reply and go "WTF U R NUB STOP PLAYING CRAPY MYST ADN PLAI A MANS GAIM LIEK HALO!")

Yes, it's sad, but what can you do? Wait until the next game is out, I guess. Old School discussion was up quite a bit when I came here (right after Halo 2 was out) probably because there was nothing in the Underground anymore. Let's hope it happens again.

Announced, actually. That is the next time B.net will be majorly reformatted. Exactly what the changes will be, is anybody's guess. But, I'm willing to bet it will be forum(s) for the next project.

Wouldn't the sensible thing to do, rather than make a "rumour" forum, or a Halo 3 forum, or just sit it out, be to make a Halo General forum? Rumours, book, movie, storyline, etc, discussion could go there. And the Underground would be Bungie-as-a-studio stuff, and old-school games. Perfecterino if you ask me.

I just hope to God that Achronos makes a new forum when their next project is announced. If they made a Halo 3 forum, then all the idiots would be like OMG halo 3 is teh confirmed!1111

I'm not that active, but never dead.

A "Rampant Speculation Forum" perhaps? You could put everything from Halo 3 and Pimps at Sea to Pheonix there.

  • 12.23.2005 3:52 AM PDT

Phoenix? What is tha... Meh, without Reiginko here that "joke" isn't as funny.
