When Bungie releases it's new game/IP it is almost certain that there will be a large influx of new members to the site. Not knowing what type of new game/IP that Bungie will release we cannot predict what type of gamers will become new members. FPS gamers have a different mind set than say RPG gamers.

My question to everyone here is how will you handle this? Can FPS people get along with RPG people? Will you act like a guiding hand and help new members to get familiar with the site, or will you treat them like a red headed step child who is trying to take your place at the head of the table?

Another question is how much will this site change? Will we members now even recognize it? I know that change is a good thing and I hope it will be for the better. What are your thoughts?

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

-Master Chief

Im sure there will be one or two threads about disagreements with FPS and RPG type players. But overall im sure the community at bungie will excel. The site may change but the overall community will stay the same.

You seem to be implying that people only play one type of game. That said, I will try to help out new members where possible.

  • 10.14.2011 12:47 AM PDT

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

the new members will populate a forum and call it their own. Then the flood will be second only to that in "most annoying, useless and/or insulting forums to visit".

Not that they only play one type, but most people I have gamed with seem to prefer one over the other. I play all types of games and I don't favor one over the other but it seems to me that alot of people do. I could be wrong on that though.

I see what you are saying, but I doubt the people who prefer RPGs will never have played an FPS, and vice versa. In short I don't think there will be a huge divide between members.

I hope so. When I first joined Bnet I had awesome help from the people on here so I stayed and now I love it! This site and the Halo games are my first foray into online gaming.

Best we can do is just assist anyone who is having trouble here. I don't think there will be two at-war factions on this site. I am pretty sure many of them, just like us, are here because they are going to enjoy the games Bungie make.

That's exactly what I was thinking would happen. I was not here for Halo 2 but I played H3 and now that Reach is out there seems to be a "Tug of War" from those that say H3 was better than Reach or Reach is better than H3. Imagine what it could be like with Halo players and the new game. I just hope it does not turn into a slug fest in the forums about which Bungie game is the best. We see enough of that now.

People who force their opinions on which game is better (and state it like a fact) are extremely immature. The only thing we have to wish for is that this "next generation" about to enter the Bungie universe will understand this. I guess it is just a matter of waiting to see what occurs.

I agree completely. Waiting though is the worst part! lol! I cant wait to see the new game! It may be a long wait though.

I'm sure Bungie.net won't change to the point of us not recognizing it. As for the new members joining, I'm sure that the forum ninjas will make sure that we will all get along.

I'm fairly sure I'll eventually get permabanned or something for cursing out noobs...

Best of random chance

If anything we will be more diverse, and will have what I think to be a better general consensus and less bias.

My question to everyone here is how will you handle this??

I, for one, will keep posting. I don't know about you, but I'll keep posting in threads of my interest, and not in ones I care not for.

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.

I won't mind them. They're still human like me.

RIP Halo 2

If everyone's playing the same game, I think it will be okay. And to be honest, I really don't care. I think the community will get bigger, not better, but not worse.

Anyone uninterested in the new IP will eventually leave. Doesn't matter, though. Their complaints about it not being some other genre is going to have no effect on anything.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

If you were actually born in 1975 and this is actually a serious inquiry, I weep for you.
