Well we all heared the rumors about Bungie's Next Project (BNP) being announced and named at the Next E3, but I want to talk about what changes will happen to the forums after the Bungie anounces and names their next game.

Example of some questions is would we need 3 Forums dedicated to HAL0 2 or will new mombossa be moved into the Libary as it becomes HAL0 history? Will a rush of new members come in? What do you think will happen and will need to be done?

I'd assume that Halo 2 wouldn't be pushed back into The Library (or something similar) until Halo 3 (there, I said it) is released to the public.

Yeah, I think it's kind of understood that there'd be a forum restructure come the announcement or arrival of the next game.

Slight tangent, but I'm not entirely comfortable with calling it "BNP" due to that already being the name of a British fascist/racist political party. It's only an acronym I know, but still...

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

Glory to the BNP, may death come swiftly to the Japanese gaming giants at its hands!


I think that Zanzi would be combined with New Mombassa into Halo 2 general and a new project forum launched to replace it.

leaving:

Underground - Bungie general/oldskool and no next project
Septagon - Community
Halo 2 General - Discussion about H2 campaign and MP
Optimatch - H2 playlists
Maw - Halo PC
Library - Halo Xbox
The Flood

and the rest.

I would assume there would just be an additional forum for when the next game is announced, and then all Halo 2 discussions (those that currently take place in New Mombasa, Zanzibar and Optimatch) would move to New Mombasa after the game is released. We would probably then get an additional forum for the new game's multiplayer aspects.

I expect that New Mombasa and the Library will form one new forum, same goes for Zanzibar and Optimatch. IF the next project isn't Halo related. If it is I expect New Mobasa and The Library to stay stand alone forums. And yes, there will be a new forum for the Next Project™.

That'd be my guess.

I'll be on my own side.

New Mombasa potentially could be used for Halo 3 campaign discussion as well, seeing that it would probably be taking place on Earth.

I would combine Zanzibar and NM and just make a general Halo 2 discussion board. Optimatch could keep it's same name and function, and maybe there could be a separate Optimatch-type forum for Halo 3.

On a side note, I think the Flood should be renamed "Quarantine Zone".

New Mombasa is that city with the Scarab right? It got leveled when Regret's ship jumped inside the city.

Darn, well do they got a copyright on it? Oh well Bungie and the 7thColumn is going to take over the world and will outlaw that group once we take over ; )

There should be a new forum for Halo 3, definitely. And I reckon they should call it 'The Ark'.

How about that :)

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Yeah, it'll work.

Although it couldn't be specific to Halo 3, I think there should be a forum named "Truth and Reconciliation," as a tribute to the old TaR site... Not sure what topic it should be, though.

I think yes. They'll combine all halo 2 related stuff, because I'm sure there wont' be many matchmaking or any updates of that nature after BNP™ is announced, because they'll be hard at work getting that polished up and ready for its debut.

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I never even thought of that... I guess they probably will

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Hell yeah we would. You know how many threads with rumors and guesses and complaints and suggestions would be flooding the forums once its announced?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened.

They should combine the the Maw and the Library, Zanzibar and Optimatch and make a new board for the Next Project.
