This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Where did the name Future War Cult come from? I have heard it thrown about a bit recently but wasn't sure if it was just an idea or an educated guess - does anyone have a reference?

Anyway, my guess is that the WC part may stand for Winter Contingency. I know Bungie like to reference past and future games in their titles, ODST had 'Destiny Awaits' and Seraphs are used in Reach (Reference to Seven Seraphs), maybe 'Winter Contingency' was a reference too.
It does sound like a faction name, not sure about the F though, maybe 'First Winter Contingency'?

Just an idea.

I think the Winter Contigency is a coincidence.

It doesn't really make sense for the name of a faction, does it?

Pretty sure Future War Cult is from a domain name registered around the same the that the domains were registered for the other factions.

Spongebob reference FTW!

Anyway, I have no idea what it could stand for, but it probably will be a faction in the new game.

I think it's logical to assume that FWC stands for "Future War Cult".

Sounds kinda lame as a name to me though, but then again I have said the same for "Destiny" and "Armor Abillities".

One of my favorite Bnet posts ever was a response to a leak that said that there was going to be a thing called a "man cannon" in the next version of Halo. The commenter said there was no way the leak could be genuine because Bungie were professionals and they'd never call a game feature something so immature. :)

And to be clear, I'm not commenting on any of the speculation in this thread, just sharing something I thought was funny.
