No OP. I don't want to go to the lame ass 343 forums to discuss the Bungie made Halo games.

Isn't there a forum rule about being complete rude?
You come on almost everyday with some sort of bash or insult to someone...
Seriously, whats your problem?


Sorry, it's the way I'm used to dealing with the Flood. I sometimes forget when I move from forum to forum which one I'm in. I apologize.

OT: Let me rephrase my statement. I find the whole way that 343 is currently revealing and handling their first venture into the Halo realm very irritating. "Why?", you might ask? Well, for several reasons.
A) I already feel like they are treating it like it's any old game rather than the multi-million dollar cultural phenomenon that it is. They want to toy with it. I understand the reason for this considering that they have to leave their mark but they are literally making it too different.
B) They are not prepared, nor do they have an adequate or easy way, to communicate with the massive fan base that they have inherited.
One of the things that made Bungie's fans so great was the easy access we had to the people who they were fans of and the tight knit community that was built as a result. It's why I'm here talking to you right now.
C) They've lost the magic.
Even on the Halo Universe Panel at San Diego ComicCon 2011, one of 343's new best friends, Greg Bear, talked about the fact that one of the novels he's writing feels like a classic sic-fi novel and that you could literally make it one by just replacing the nouns.
That saddened me.
I thought to myself, "The unique sic-fi game that was Halo has now joined the ranks of other bad sic-fi like Star Wars I - III.

In Short: It breaks my heart to know what they are going to do to our baby. Because it is our baby, and they aren't even in touch with us.

Makes me sad but, what can you do?
343 is super in-touch with the fans. They post on the Waypoint forums all the time, and they're also in touch with a bunch of other communities, like Grifball, MLG, and NeoGAF, just to name a few places I've seen them hanging out. And the have a BWU-style Halo Bulletin every Wednesday that's been a pretty good source of info recently (especially today, where they teased some TU info and discussed the CEA remakes). Just because you're not going to the same laces they are doesn't mean they aren't listening.

I'm not going to spend a ton of time arguing about your points about them "losing the magic" of halo, but I think that if you looked a little closer at what they've been doing and kept an open mind, you'd be quite impressed.

Just my $0.02 for the day.

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

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

Those who say that 343 is doing nothing is not seeing the whole picture. They are semi new to the world as a service and creation group.

Its just like what bungie was at first. they will have a few mistakes but will get over it.

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

Might want to change it to this or something close.

If you wish to discuss Halo related matchmaking or other topics you can discuss it easily at the official Halo website.


Its just a suggestion since people seem to look confused and it could nerf more of the threads talking about matchmaking and other Halo Reach/Halo 3 stuff.


I think it's a great addition OP.

It would be easy to add on to the existing message, and it is much more clear as to Bungie's role in the post 07-07 Halo world (for our more ignorant members).

;)

Greetings from Singapore:)

Excellent idea:)

Many people in the community are probably tired of telling everyone to move to343i for halo stuff

You can post all of that over there, and hope that they'll actually see it and react to it. The chance of that happening here is pretty much 0%.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Simple with the potential to be very effective - I approve.

Troll confirmed. I never even insulted you

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I'll support that. It'll be easier.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I would like a link to 343i so people would stop posting off topic Halo stuff.

I know that is what the OP wants but IT ISN'T THERE!!!

Bungie does not have a link in their little reminder.

I was agreeing that we need a link to 343i forums.

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

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

I just saw a dozen threads locked. Even though some were about were about the blue flame.

Oh well. Still i am hoping an Achronos or his crack team sees this thread

  • 08.18.2011 4:04 PM PDT

This is much better than the current message.

  • 08.18.2011 4:05 PM PDT

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Sounds like a good idea.

  • 08.18.2011 4:10 PM PDT

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Good idea. It'll certainly get noticed with links.

  • 08.18.2011 4:20 PM PDT

I think it's a great idea.

  • 08.18.2011 5:04 PM PDT

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

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

Still seeing posts that people don't know about the links.

Maybe if i can get a campaign of people going to quote the text i suggested that maybe it will work.


Have fun people. This is the bext we have so far.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Only if you change it to this;

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I definitely think this will help reduce the amount of necessary posts in these forums.

GO GO ACHRONOS! (that sounded catchy when I thought of it)

  • 08.22.2011 2:07 PM PDT

I came, I saw, I conquered. On my quest to become Mythic. So all can be jealous of the amazing blue glow from my title bar. =) ~BlindChild~

nice idea.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Yes i agree, providing links would help redirect people faster instead of cluttering the forums.
