Subject: Out of curiosity, why are people still talking about Halo here?


Posted by: master piraka
I read it. "BUNGIE UNIVERSE" right there clear as crystal.

Not HALO. BUNGIE.
Bungie created Halo. It isn't theirs now but it is still a Bungie universe.

Marathon and Myth are still very much alive.

The Ban Hammer is all that was and all that will be! The Ban Hammer is time and space, life and death! The Ban Hammer can see into your mind! The Ban Hammer can see into your soouull....

the Bungie Universe will forever and always have Halo in it. Look, people will still talk about halo here long after it's port to 343. Why? because when you put the game disk in it says BUNGIE. And it will always be a part of Halo. Bungie went into console gaming with halo for 10 years. They are rooted in console development now. To top it will be a feat in itself.

But they have other universes. ONI, Myth, GNOP. They had their reigns of popularity on PC's when they made sense on PC.

What you're asking is this fanbase to talk about Doom 1 graphics and a game played by 30-40 year olds when they could afford $2,000 Pentium 2 PC's.

and with no known NEW universe to talk about under Bungie's development (hush hush wink wink) we are left with what will or could be Halo 4. Microsoft and 343 taking hold of the franchise and molding it into a new triology based off of Bungie's vision. So, yes, there will forever be halo talk in this area. It will be speculation, and nothing will be done about it by bungie since they cannot interfere, but it will show how much of an impact it was on every gamers life for the past decade of console FPS gaming.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Then talk about them, no one is stopping you.

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

Those looking for a group to join, I suggest you join Gamma Company Spartans (check my groups page). We are a friendly and active community always looking for more members.

Is the discussion value for it alive though? What can we discuss? Our favorite level? Favorite gun? Best terminal? What kind of canonical discussion can be available that will have a steady amount of replies?

By all means make a marathon or myth thread. It fits here. Just don't expect it to become a hot topic.

This is the Bungie forum. The company that now has little to nothing to do with Halo currently. Why is there so much Halo chatter here?

It kinda sucks for people who want to talk about their upcoming projects/ aerospace, when they come here and read nothing but "HURR DURR WATS BETTER BR OR DMR LOLOLOL"

Seriously. What gives?
Why do you think?

^My point is that Halo isn't the only god damn universe Bungie created. They've made better, deeper universes than Halo believe it or not.

So why don't you start some discussions on them then rather than moaning about the lack of discussions? Do something about it.

And by stating this rather chauvinistic "fact" you have proven yourself to be in with the boys. Seriously, grow the hell up.

It had to be said. I knew saying that would put myself in the boys section and I really don't care. I've said less popular things before. I regret none of it.

Just to let you know, this equally chauvinistic highhorsery you just pulled brings you right down with me. Howdy neighbor.

Do you even know what chauvinism means? Please explain to me how my statement could fit that definition. You made a very immature sweeping generalisation full of bias about a large group of people and you got scolded for it. Don't try to squirm your way out of it.

Halo 4 is apart of the universe Bungie created. You can't just make a fan base stop talking about a certain subject. As far as i'm concerned you just need to chill out.

  • 07.12.2011 2:36 PM PDT

Because posts in the busiest forums over at 343 get less replies than the classifieds...

Do you honestly believe those games have any discussion value now? Halo is being updated with content. Myth, Marathon and Pathways into Darkness are not. Everything that has been said has been said about those games. Besides, essentially everyone here has played Halo. That means just about everyone here can discuss it and make threads about its canon. As for the other games there is a substantially less amount of people who have played them and since there is no new content or anything planned to add to their canon the well has essentially run dry.


Well...run dry? You're talking about Myth and Marathon?

Talking from experience, there are many people creating new things for Myth and Marathon. Also, Bungie handed over development of Myth's engine to another group, who actively releases free updates. Sure, nothing new added to canon, but massive amounts of content all the same.

It saddens me that you think this is a subject worthy of discussion, as if 343 taking over just erases all of Bungies work for the last 10 years.


^^^^epic win

Until I see all Halo related topics being closed by the moderators with them personally telling us that it's against the rules to talk about Halo here, we'll keep discussing Halo, HERE!

That was aimed for canon. Yeah there is still being fan made creations however will they have a prominent place here? Will there be threads wit 50+ replies on a fan made level? Besides even then the discussion value for those will still be pretty low due to most of the people here haven't played myth or marathon and many of those who have played them probably don't play them regularly enough to be swayed into downloading that extra content. Feel free to make threads on it though. Just don't expect it to stay on the front page for a few days.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

Because these forums are more ripe for discussion on the lore than the 343i forums are for the moment.

-blam!- that, talk about Marathon.

We need more Marathon talk around these parts. We need people making Marathon maps and making marathon physics models and making shapes files and textures and making scripts and making everything.

The subject is now Marathon.


This. this this this this this. X Infinity

BobBQ is the only one who makes Marathon threads anymore. Lots of pics in them.

Um hey -blam!-face, what else are we supposed to talk about? If anyone actually gives enough of a -blam!- to talk about aerospace then they can.

Subject: Out of curiosity, why are people still talking about Halo here?

This is the Bungie Universe Forum, where we discuss the different Universes that Bungie has created, these include:
-GNOP!
-Pathways into Darkness
-Myth
-Marathon
-ONI
-Halo
-Future IP (Rumored to be Destiny)

So to answer your question people are still discussing Halo in this forum because it is a Universe that Bungie created.

Why you mad though?
