Subject: Any Thoughts on Bungie going to the Playstation Network also

I think it would be outstanding if they could work out some way of having cross-console play in multiplayer.

That way it vastly increases the number of possible different people to compete against when playing online.

I don't know how the different console makers would like that idea, but I think it would add a whole new range of possibility to the multiplayer experience.

...

Or it is equally possible that the two systems (Xbox Live and PSN) are two completely different, incompatible beasts, and to try it would bring about catastrophic disaster.


It might be able to work. We'd need to hear it from someone familiar with both PS3 and 360 code.

Halo > Call of Duty. Pac-Man > Call of Duty

But even then, bigger is not always better. It would seem to be about what Halo's community is now, in my opinion.

Not exactly... Bigger community means more people with certain skill, but more people who can't get along as well. A bigger community means more options, but not necessarily better ones.


Xbox and PS3 have the same community. The gaming community. And by in large, the gaming community is not trollish 12 year olds, and so a bigger community from new platforms can only be better (on the whole... even if its 51% better and 49% worse)


And for the screaming 12 year-olds who do slip through, it is a bigger community to verbally lacerate them and whip them back into line.

Besides, where are their parents anyway? If I had talked the way they do when I was a kid, my dad would've slapped the sh** out of me...

And if we could have voice chat cross platform with xbox, ps3, and PC (pc having some kind of dedicated complex vent server type thing) that would be like.... omaigawd.

we shall have a party for those joining from the playstation. it will be a big party with lots of nasty words and hate mail.



Don't forget the toast. Lots and lots of toast.


yum, delicious toast.

If some massive wave of new members was to form, the banhammer would be swinging like crazy from people unfamiliar with rules, and the older members messing with them.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

The technicalities are beside the point. Microsoft and Sony would not allow for it.

There would be an integration period and maybe for a while BNet would make you watch the entirety of some sort of "forum training video" before being allowed on the forums. Maybe they could get RvB to do it. That would be cool.
