I'm not gonna add a poll because that's a pretty easy way to kill a thread before you post it, but I want to know your opinion, community. Now that Bungie has moved on, and they aren't managing or producing any more Halo games, do you think that this place will ever be as active as at the height of Halo 3? (I chose H:3 over the height of Reach because 3 was MUCH more popular).
Let me say this, I'm not going to go all halo purist on your asses. I liked Bungie's Halo trilogy and respective spinoff games (ODST and Reach). But I don't think lightning can't strike twice. Whatever "Destiny" is, I'm sure Bungie is working VERY hard on it and that it will no doubt exceed our expectations.
But, from a realist point of view, Halo is still Halo. And not many series (apart from some of nintendos) can say that they've topped halo in both quality and popularity (and by the end of 343's trilogy, quantity).
So, I'm sure you've all noticed the mass exodus from the forums since Bungie stopped managing Halo on the 2nd and since 343's forums started to get more popular. The only forum that I think hasn't suffered much of a blow is OT:TF (but let's be honest, the flood could survive an atomic bomb).
And, not that I don't think that what Bungie is doing with Aerospace, sponsoring and producing mobile and social games for small developers and such, is really cool, but those games really aren't going to bring much more of a user base to the site unless one of them goes Top 25 on the iOS app store or something like that.
So I'll ask again, do you think Bungie.net will ever be as popular as it used to be (or possibly even more so) and why?
