With all the changes about to take place, like our beloved Halo moving out, the drip-feed approach to new info, the switching off/over of the game forums, etc, I'm left wondering what will happen to our B.net profiles.
To elaborate further:
-Our Avatars
-Our themes
-Our Halo 3/ODST/Reach stats
Avatars.
Perhaps this one might answer itself, given there are avatar items from previous Bungie titles, no longer in the majority ownership of Bungie, however, it still remains uncertain, at least for me, what will happen to the mostly Halo-themed avatar icons.
Themes.
These are mostly in the same vein as avatars, so I need not elaborate.
Stats.
Granted that Waypoint stats tracking is still in a beta phase, presently, I feel it offers a sub-standard experience when compared to Bungie's stat tracking capabilities, with as yet, no promise to change or improve. Furthermore, it only has capabilities for Reach stats, whereas Bungie still provides for both Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST, even with a recent screenshots feature.
Ultimately, the question moves to whoever has the authority to answer it, but the bottom line is, 'What will happen to these B.net features in the coming days/weeks/months?'
I'm not sure if we're supposed to be prepped on this with an update, so If I'm asking this prematurely, I apologise. I also apolgise if it turns out I've posted this in the wrong forum, however I feel this is something that affects the B.net community.
-----------------------------------------
Today, August 2nd, 2011, Bungie passes the Halo torch to 343i. I still retain many mixed feelings about the whole affair, but ultimately, I know that it is for the best that Bungie moves on.
it's been one hell of a ride, and I've many a cherished memory of my time spent playing Halo whilst under the stewardship of Bungie. World Domination, though a solid end goal, pales in comparison to the journey both Bungie, and their mighty community, the Septagon [aka 7th Column] have undertaken together.
Whether you're a seasoned Grizzled Ancient, having followed Bungie from their very beginnings, Or if you came into the mix during the last ten years of awesomeness, we're all united by our passion for life, video games, cool stuff and pizza.
Very little stands between us, and World Domination, now...
