Subject: Halo 2 nameplate vs. Bungie nameplate

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

Most of the kids I've seen with the halo 2 nameplate were campers and got wrecked by me.

I think I am going to wear the Bungie nameplate because it represents all of Bungie's awesome games, including Halo 2. Bungie is what makes Halo awesome. Without Bungie Halo is nothing. It has been proven before with such epic fails as halo wars and halo legends. I'm loyal to Bungie, not Halo. Especially now, with Halo in the hands of that awful company 343.

Halo Wars was not made by 343. It's also a RTS, so it's not surprising a lot of Halo fans don't like it. RTS =/= FPS. Not being a FPS it gets instant hate by a lot of people. Likewise, 343 didn't actually make Halo Legends either. Basically, don't bash 343 before you've played something that they've done themselves.


Exactly. People seem to not know anything about 343. There's Frank O'Connor, Shishka, and maybe one or two other former bungie employees. The only thing they've done up to this point is waypoint. Wait till the CE remake and Halo 4 come out before drowning them in hate. I trust them and to me I think this may be a good change. Bungie is gonna work on a new IP and I'm hoping that I will have two series to follow.

Couldn't agree more. Everyone is like "<3 Bungie". I totally get this and i do <3 Bungie, and i posted quite a long "signing" in the Reach Forum memory book. Im not gonna lie, its gonna be sad to see them leave Halo behind, but its not like once they relinquish the Halo series they are all gonna die and the company will be wiped off the face of the earth. People began to think that Reach was getting....um..... stale, not an opinion shared by myself, but i think that the change in developers will give the series new energy and maybe a little different (but good) direction, also by having 343i take over the Halo series we not only have two new Halo titles to look forward to,(yes i know Halo:CE Anniversary is not really "new" but it still looks good.) but also a brand new kickass title from Bungie. I still love Bungie, but people are acting like its the end of the world, but there are upcoming activities in Reach, for a goodbye to Bungie Halo and exciting new titles. I think that overall this might not be as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

343i has stated they are making a trilogy. Also, a few spinoffs here and there, but they did say a trilogy. I'm not sure the halo-bungie goodbye is permanent. If 343i does make it a trilogy, that would leave Bungie in a good spot to collaborate with 343i to make a Halo 7 and Bungie sure does like the number 7.

When we began to play Halo, we took an oath!
According to our station! All without exception!
On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons, we swore to uphold the Seventh Column!
Even to our dying breath!
Those who would break this oath are heretics! Worthy of neither pity nor mercy!
We shall grind them into dust! Wipe them as excrement from our boots!
And continue our march to glorious salvation!

To relate it back to what I have, I'm keeping my Halo PC nameplate. I honestly think it says more than having the Bungie nameplate. Having it (or the Halo 2 Nameplate) already says you were a fan of Halo during the Bungie days and then says more. That you were a fan from the beginnings. (Well, the beginnings of Halo at least)

I go absolutely crazy when I see someone else with the Halo PC nameplate. I see people with Halo 3's all the time, pretty rarely the Halo 2 nameplate, (Not counting people on my friend's list) but I've only seen 2 other people with the PC nameplate while on Matchmaking. Makes me feel a bit special. Just wish I would have had better Internet while Halo 2 was around... Then I could have the "HALO" nameplate.


This sums me up.

For Carnage Apply Within - We played Marathon before Marathon was cool!

Keep it authentic...

I am not saying 343 made them, I am saying Bungie did not make them.

First there was light, then there was fire, then there was NapalmQ...

Yeah i sport that fancy halo nameplate. I think your halo 2 one would be a lot better than the bungie one.

Personally, I use the Mark VI helmet, but I had the Halo 2 plate for a long time before that.

I started playing Halo when I was 9 and that was Halo 2, which of course was the best game in the Halo series. This is why I use the Halo 2 nameplate. So go with Halo 2 one. It looks awesome too.

Xbox Connect Gamertag: RogueWolf_I77V (Halo, Halo 2)
Xfire Gamertag: roguewolfi77v (Halo PC)

I will be rocking the Bungie plate a long with majority of the community. To act as a constant reminder to 343 Industry that we are not only fans of the Halo series, but fans of Bungie's development style and community involvement as well.
