It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

This is something I don't want to see, lots of CoD fans on Bungie.net will be bad because of the Halo things still floating around, but we can use it to create more Halo fans.

What spectagon are you in?

I don't see any reason why Bungie's partnership with Activision would bring more COD fans to this website.

There would be no reason for CoD fans to come to Bungie.net simply because of the partnership with Activision. When Bungie starts releasing information on their new IP, and people catch wind, naturally they'll come here, CoD fans or not. But the partnership wouldn't do anything. I mean, there are also CoD fans here already that happen to be Bungie fans too, so...

Bungie was partnered with Microsoft, but that doesn't mean I went to Microsoft's forums, and vice versa.

I don't really think so. I mean, Activision is just the publisher of Bungie's future games. Fans of CoD could be fans of the new games, in which case some might come here.

But there are already people who like CoD here. You don't have to like only Halo or only CoD. You can be a fan of both. And we already have plenty of those people.

On the topic of people who are CoD fans, will come for future Bungie games, and bash Halo fans that are still here...well, that already happens anyway.

So you guys don't think that the makers of Halo partnering with the makers of CoD, would bring more CoD fans here?

  • 08.05.2011 11:16 AM PDT

La-hoo, Za-her.

No way. But this does remind me of something that has been bothering me...

Whenever I mention to fellow gamers that I'm a Bungie fan, their first reaction is almost always "Bungie? Aren't they owned by Activision now? I hate them."

I'm so tired of explaining the concept of a publisher to people.

Can't people have more than 1 interest?

But no, CoD 'fans' will not be drawn to this site simply because of a business affiliation.

No, why would it? Bungie isn't making CoD games, so why would CoD fans be inclined to come here?

  • 08.05.2011 11:18 AM PDT

It could. Anything could prompt an influx, really. It's unlikely that the partnership would cause much of a difference, but we can't really tell from this juncture. But if it's heated Halo vs. CoD flamewars you worry about, something tells me not many diehard anti-Halo CoD fans would be terribly inclined to join B.net.

In any case, what is a certainty is whose responsibility it is to not let such an influx be a chaotic one.

Bungie are not partnering with any of the CoD developers.

I don't understand where you're getting this idea, at all. I can safely say that, since Bungie and Activision announced partnership, I have not had any sort of urge to visit the websites of developers who are developing games published by Activision.

Obviously! Didn't you hear their main reason for getting rid of the Reach and other Halo related sections was to make room for a CoD section on the forums?

Activision aren't the makers of COD... treyarch& infinty ward are the makers of COD.

Nope, its not like Guitar hero fans and CoD fans were ever invading one another's communities. Unless Bungie is working on a CoD game, you won't see a huge influx of "CoD" fans.

I'm a CoD fan. I'm also a Bungie fan. I'm sure there are people here that like both and I don't really see why it would matter if there are people here that like the CoD franchise.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

This is so mind-numbingly stupid I can't even think of something sarcastic to write.

Inorite?

Bungie doesn't make Call of Duty games, so what legitimate reason would someone who is only a fan of the CoD series have for coming here?

Bungie has the same publisher as the (multiple) developers who are behind the CoD series, so what? Was Bungie.net flooded by Mass Effect fanboys when MGS began publishing Bioware games?

Those who are going to come here and be idiots will do so regardless of who's publishing who's games.

I sure as hell hope not CoD fanboys suck.

I think the fact that they are going cross platform would bring more CoD fans than the partnership with Activision.

Plus, even if they do come, bnet-ers are the best trolls out there. Those 12 year olds ain't got nothin' on us, they won't last a week.
