When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

I'm actually quite surprised by the amount of activity that still occurs in the Reach forum. Granted, the quality may be sub par, but there is activity.

^I personally think that everybody is surprised.

Look at the Halo 3 forums?

Halo 3 was out for almost 4 years now, and has 31,000 pages of posts.

Now look at the Halo: Reach forums?

Halo: Reach has not even been out for a year, ans has almost 25,00 pages of posts!

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lube.

We can't see it, but B.Net's Destiny is already set in stone.

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

Perhaps Reach initially had better sales and player population. I don't think it has held the same weight that Halo 3 did for quite as long.

As for the future of the forum, I think that will all depend on Bungie's success with the release of their future project. Only time will tell but I know one thing, if their next project fails this forum will never recover.

As for your primary question - we'll just have to see what the future brings, won't we?

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

When i opened this thread i was prepared to be all like "NO WAI IT WILL BE OSSUMER".

And in some ways it will, Bungie.net will probably never be as popular as it was with Halo, but i believe a smaller population will make the community tighter, and therefore, better.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

It would be more popular if the changes I requested were inacted.

^I have always visited the forums since I made my account, but never really started posting until late last-year.

The forums before were quite packed and annoying as Hell. Now, I the forums seem quite slow, but smooth, and that is how I like it!

Why hello there.

I imagine once Bungie's new game comes out we will get at least SOME new members.

Full EOD With Mk. V Helmet = Halo Wars Spartan Armor

I don't really have a problem with so many Halo fans moving over to Waypoint. I mean I am a Halo fan, so even I have posted in there. But I don't like it. A lot of the people over there are jurks. Irrelivant. I like it when the population is low here. It gives Bungie members and the fourm ninjas time to just kinda hang out and chill with us.

Business around here will pick up considerably once Bungie starts releasing details on their new project. The Aerospace endeavous might bright in a few new people, though I doubt it will bring many.

I think in the coming months, the population here will drop even lower as more Halo fans migrate over to the Waypoint forums and we'll hang at that level for a while. As soon as details come out about "Destiny," though, I think we'll see a nice little population explosion.

I'd also like to point out the amount of members in this thread who are Exalted/Legendary/Noble/Whatever Members. It shows that we are the ones who were here first and plan on staying throughout whatever Bungie has to throw at us.

  • 08.30.2011 10:16 AM PDT

If I had a Rocket Launcher, I'd make somebody pay.

There WILL be a good amount of new members due to the fact that Bungie's next IP will go multi-platform. Given the current reputation of Bungie, I'd be more than surprised if the member count at Bnet doesn't rise massively.

As a fan of Bungie since the release of CE, the only thing I want from the Bnet community are lively and intelligent speculations being discussed in most forums here. There will always be a handful of jerks who keep trolling, but it is all up to the community itself to keep the forums intact.

Keep it clean!

^Your statemtn is a 50.50 to make sense.

There are of course Member that have been here sense the beginning. But there are people like me who have been here for considerable amount of time who are still just plain "Members".

In jedem system der Macht gibt es korruption.

Det vore klokt att tro att det inte finns några undantag.

The Flood might explode but it will be interesting when Bungie's new projects are announced :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do when Microsoft isn't breathing down their neck.

^I know. But he was leaving out the people who have been here for a considerable amount of time, though?

That is why I stated that.

...Is this supposed to mean something. You of all people should know that that this means absolutely nothing. I rather look at other stats like player retainment.

Hell I consider Halo 2 the height of the series because a ridiculous like 90 some percent of xbl players played the game regularly when that game was out. I do forget the statistic exactly, but it was ungodly.

Either way there is no denying that Reach thus far has been a complete and utter failure. Hopefully next month's patch can turn the game around though.
