The Reach forum will not be missed. That unpoliceable monstrocity should DIE.

But the Optimatch forum was a great place for constructive debates. I will miss it very much.

What forums will you miss after 7/7 (Assume many halo related forums are going)

I may seem to come across as a -blam!-, but I'm really just trying to help.

I don't really visit the Halo Forums as much as I used to, so meh.

Halo forums are going?


From here:

Forums are a slightly different story. I've been threatening Frankie with a plan to pump the raging river of Reach posts directly into the gentle waters of halo.xbox.com. We might be accustomed to the effervescent spray of polite insight that splashes up over our prow (and into our faces), but seeing as playlist support will be out of our hands, we'll likely prune some of our forums to avoid any undue confusion over who's at the helm of the ironclad USS Support. The final roster of forums isn't set in stone yet, but you should be prepared to see us wind down on this front. The pruning won't happen in the immediate short term, but certainly before the year is out.

If you're reading this, congratulations. You've just pressed a button to find out a little bit more about me. Not that you will, but well done anyway.

When I'm on the forums here, I'm usually either in the Community or the Flood, so the absence of the Halo Forums won't really affect me that much, if at all.

It will be unfortunate to lose them if I had a need of them though.

I hope they don't kill The Flood. Otherwise, it's all good.

You have no idea how revolting I can be.

I really think that we should keep the Halo 1, 2, and 3 Forums. They are a part of our history.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reach forum went. The 343i forums (which if I am correct is the Waypoint forums, right?) will take ALL the game forums plus the optimatch since they will be handling the Halo franchise from now on.

RIP Halo 2

I'm guessing the older halo forums will still be here. I don't care about the Reach forum.

Pretty much this, there is already a Reach forum there - and I wouldn't be surprised if what we have on this site is removed. Whether some of the larger threads are copied and reposted there is another story though - although I'm sure some members are already considering this idea.

Go away.

And. . . Why must they delete the Halo forums?

O well, if I'm on the forums I'm in the Flood or here. I will miss the easy access to the Optimatch playlist forums to see playlist updates.

To ease confusion - if there were to still be Halo forums on site, newer members might get confused as to who's still running the show.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

Cortana: The message just repeats. "Regret, Regret, Regret."
Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

I'm willing to bet we'll lose Reach and Optimatch. Bungie isn't dead...the rest will stay I believe.

Because 343i is in charge of Halo now. Yeah, I know, Bungie created these games... but why maintain forum for games you no longer own or maintain? It makes more sense to have 343i host all Halo related content from now on.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

The Halo 3 and Reach forums wouldn't be a big deal, they're utter chaos anyway.

It still say's Bungie on the game cases. Bungie is labeled everywhere on the Halo games. Just because a new creator of new Halo games should mean that Bungie should throw everything down the drain. Halo 4 is 343i's everything else is still by Bungie. I honestly think it is ridiculous.
