Edit- To make things a little more clear;
The Comm Chatter i'm aiming at is more of a way for Bungie to let us know what's going on when things go down. Examples;

1. B.net is down, they update the chatter with an ETA on the fix
2. Reach is having issues, head over to 343 for more details
3. Winners of steak, check your Emails
4. Bungie Store is having shipping problems, please bear with us.

If not that, maybe a window to their last twitter post would be cool, with a quick link to the actual twitter page for more tweets.





It was always nice seeing a quick note from Urk/Whoever, assuring us that everything was Okay and giving us a time frame in which issues would be fixed.

Will we ever see the return of the Comm Chatter, or maybe a Twitter feed for quick updates from Bungie?

Make choices, and don't look back.

Once they go dark, I think it's going to be really dark.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

I vote yes, since they have gone dark and will not need a daily batch of news they certainly don't need a space as large as the one that was on the old home page, but they could use the webcam rectangle to give us updates like going read only or stuff like that.

Winner of the 2012 Lurker of the Year award.

I'm watching you.

Yes.

Earlier today when the site went down, my first instinct was to go check the comm chatter for any news. You can imagine my shriek of dismay at seeing it gone. D:

There's nothing to talk about right now... Done with Halo, waiting to announce the next project, we'll have a dry spell for a while.

I'm not even asking for news, i'm just asking for a 1 stop shop for everything update related.

"Hey guys, The website will be down today from 5 to 7 PST for some routine maintenance. Don't get too lonely out there!"

  • 07.14.2011 9:51 PM PDT

I think we need it more than we don't.

  • 07.14.2011 9:57 PM PDT

I only just realised now that it was gone. I don't mind either way.

  • 07.14.2011 9:58 PM PDT

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

Here's their twitter...though they didn't actually tweet about the downtime. :shrug:

@Geegs30

Couldn't hurt to have their 5 or 10 most recent tweets somewhere on the front page.

I think they should still have the Comm Chatter yes. Place for smaller articles and/or little updates from Bungie.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

They'll pr'y bring it back once they announce their new project. Or they'll put their twitter feed up somewhere.

Whoo.

I would definately like comm chatter to come back.

It was nice having random videos on the front page, community submitted and employee found stuff alike.

  • 07.14.2011 10:53 PM PDT

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

The Button

I would just like one for when the site goes down or something along those lines. My first thought was to go straight to the Comm Chatter but it wasn't there. :(

  • 07.14.2011 10:58 PM PDT

You better close this sig when your done.

It would be nice if it came back just for the sole purpose of letting us know about site maintenance.

I think it would be nice to have something more than the 5 articles. Even adding their Twitter to the homepage would be nice, and a lot more people will see it.

The events of the downtime today have reminded me how much I relied on the Comm Chatter for information.

Join ODST Expeditionary Force for a more mature, friendly community!

Question - What does Urk do when he's not writing anything? I'd assume he might be helping Stosh get all the orders packaged and shipped right now, but what does he usually do when Bungie 'goes dark?'

Also, there are 3 very outdated news articles on the front page, plenty of room for updates and the such (not about the new game, just in general).

do you think we'll get a BWU tomorrow?

  • 07.15.2011 12:30 AM PDT

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Agreed. I freaked out when I thought I had been demoted or something in a group, went to front page, no info, went to the forums, oh okay.

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

Since bungie dont have the comm chatter anymore the only way to get my halo kicks is via 3 words now.

A direct twitter feed would be nice. I would like the Comm Chatter to come back but don't think it will. I still check the front page in hopes that it will miraculously return :(
