Does anyone know whether or not Halo-Related forum avatars are going to be taken out now that 343 owns Halo? If so, when?

Similarly, is Bungie going to take down Halo Reach/3 stat-tracker?

I don't think they would. I don't want to lose Goldy.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

I don't see any reason to get rid of the Halo avatars. As for the stat tracking, those probably aren't going anywhere, at least for a while.

  • 11.06.2011 8:02 PM PDT

No, they'll just have the Microsoft logo plastered all over them.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

I imagine that there will still be Halo avatars for quite awhile. Some will probably be phased out to make room for new ones when the new IP is released, but since there are still classic game avatars I imagine that we will still be Halo avatars for years to come.

I don't know what the fate of the Halo forums is, but urk said that they will always provide us with a place to discuss the games that they create. There might be only one Halo forum, or it could just be lumped in to the Universe forum. Only time will tell.

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 wouldn't think so, they own the images and have the rights to them.

hey watch out, you said the word "halo" in your title in the community page so the forum -blam!-s are gonna throw a fit and come after you cause they have nothing else to do but cry.

but to answer your question, probably yes because 343i sucks

That's why I brought careful wording into the title making specifically sure to point out I was talking about avatars and not the game itself :P

  • 11.06.2011 8:15 PM PDT

Why would they be taken away? Seriously? They may be phased out by the webteam but they won't be forcibly taken away. Microsoft and 343I wouldn't care enough to take action.

And i doubt the webteam would ever get rid of them. Halo is part of Bungie's past, just like Marathon or ONI, and those Marathon and ONI avatars are still here.

What's up with all the -blam!-ing negativity?

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 hope not, I love when I see people using my avatar.

Probably not. I am sure that the Halo Forums, Avatars, and Halo Stats will probably remain?

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I see no reason to take down Halo related avatars, but stats I can't say.

  • 11.07.2011 12:25 PM PDT

don't think so

  • 11.07.2011 12:41 PM PDT

Key

It's a fan forum at this point. There's no reason they should be taken away. There's no profit being made on the Halo stuff. As long as the forums remain, as should the avatars, I do believe.

  • 11.07.2011 12:42 PM PDT

HALO 2 will rule 4ever. It is Halo and it is enougth. Thanks Bungie, our life will never be the same.

I dont to lose my avatar I have been using it for too long! I have an emotional attachment to it!

"Spartans never die, they're just missing in action." So you're telling me that after you get shot in the head, blow up a ship while inside, get stabbed by an Energy Sword, and drive a Pelican into a Scarab and clearly blow up that; you're not dead, but just 'Missing in Action'?

i hope tht dey do not.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I doubt it. Bungie doesn't own the rights to Myth or ONI anymore, but we still have some Myth and ONI avatars.

It's not like 343i hates Bungie, why would they try and take them away?

I think they said they weren't removing the stats in one of the weekly updates, not sure about avatars. I doubt it figuring they don't own ONI anymore either

I don't think they'll be placed in the universe forum, that's for talking about the lore of all bungie games, not just halo.

If anything they'll be merged into one giant Halo forum. The only problem I see with that is 343 did that for a while and I thought it looked really messy.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

No time soon i'd say.
