Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

When Bungie comes out with an innovative, fun, and challenging game then I'll reconsider. But after the Reach and ODST, I've been losing faith. I don't want some game that appeals to the masses. I want a game that makes the masses appeal to it.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Activity always goes through spikes. In the lull between the launch of their last game and new information being released on their next game, there's always a calm... but as history repeats itself, I can assure you this is merely the calm before the storm. Same thing happened for Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST and Reach. Brace yourself.

well, I get that, but lulling (no not lolling) in the first year of a new title? I know there's "some" who were unhappy with Reach, but I don't think that should account for a loss to Bnet (though I'm sure there are some who are no longer active on Bnet because of a dislike, for whatever reason, of Reach). If memory serves the community didn't really slump until like the end of the 2nd year of H3....?

You bring up a good point but there are a couple factors at play here. First of all, with the switch over to 343, I'm sure some of the Halo related activity has already started to shift over to their forums. Secondly, 2011 is a very different place for video games. This Call of Duty-era of coming out with a new game every single year has greatly shortened the attention span of gamers today as compared to years past. Look how long people played/talked about Halo and Halo 2 compared to ODST and Reach. In the "140 characters or less" world we live in now, it's all about what's new and what's next.

It's really a shame.

I feel as if Reach has been overlooked a bit, and it saddens me. However, the wisdom of your last sentence has stricken me. "In the '140 characters or less' world we live in now, it's all about what's new and what's next." I know not if you made that up on your own, but it is completely true. It's becoming less and less common to hear nothing about a new game in a series for a few years, only to be brought to (literal, for me in the case of Halo 3) tears because a new game in your most beloved series has been announced.

Now, it's down to "Okay, we just finished this game. Expect the sequel in a year or so. We'll iron out the kinks." and that really saddens me. Never again will I have a time like I did in between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Nearly 3 years of time in between to simply enjoy the game that I had. Now, it's "Welcome to Black Ops! Be sure to Pre-Order the next game in the series, due November of next year!"

I'm on a tangent. I should stop. Sorry for getting quite a bit off topic there.

You will have to wait until more information about bungies next game comes out before you can expect a "blowup". Forums go through lulls, that is their nature.

Activity levels will likely boom as soon as the new IP is properly announced.

Oh, also, if it wasn't clear, here since '04.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I would say it has been more active in recent times.

It may just be me, but it seems like the Bnet population has dropped significantly...some of the forums barely budge at all and whereas there used to be several topics on fire, it seems like one or two are the norm now....role call! who's still around? how many of us? Bungie knows, but we should know too (-EDIT- Unless there's only like a hundred of us left, if that's the case, ignorance is bliss, better not to know and we'll all just assume that's there's at least 77,777 of us still out there)!
.....plus, I wouldn't mind seeing a forum of mine blow up at least once, just for kicks.

Reporting for duty... on b.net since 2007

I really wish I knew about b.net back in the days of CE so I could find chapters. I was in University in a town with two colleges of 30,000+ students each. There were plenty of Halo LAN parties in our neighborhood, but it would have been nice to expand our circle of gamers.
