R.I.P. DeathPimp. Never Ending Respect.

I'm trying to become an '04, but it's not working too well."

Small thought that occurred a few hours ago; Is anyone else crossing their fingers for the return of 'The Optimatch Forum' with bungies next game?

Hopefully said game will have some aspect of online multiplayer, and hopefully that will give reason for the return of the 'Linked Accounts Only' forum.

Would you want the forum to return, or would you rather keep all game specific content to a single game forum [Imagine the Halo 3 forum encompassing Campaign and Multiplayer, with no optimatch on the side]

If the next game has an online multiplayer component, I believe the return of the optimatch forum will happen.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I'm definitely hoping for a spiritual successor to the Optimatch Forum. While I didn't venture there often, it not being here has left a void in me.

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.” -Yoda

We can only hope.

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 think Optimatch forum will return, but there is no need for it now.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I would love to see the return. I'm not quite sure why it was removed in the first place. Possibly to stow it away until it was needed again. I think so, it would have been a waste of time to have to moderate.

If they don't have matchmaking per se then they should at least have a PvE and a PvP forum. Or at least separate game mechanics from general game discussion.

If I recall, the only reason they shut that forum down was due to 343 controlling the Halo franchise. There was really no need to keep it running. I would imagine that with their new game another support/matchmaking forum will be launched for multiplayer. Bungie is just dark.

It'd give me a reason to link my account again.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

There's no reason it wouldn't make a return for their next game.

ISU Cyclones!

Yeah the whole point of Optimatch was to take in feedback in how to improve the mutliplayer experience. It wasn't a perfect forum but it was astronomically more helpful than the 'Reach' or 'Halo 3' forums in their prime .

Now Bungie has no control over any games' current multiplayer experience. The forum has no purpose... for now.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

If Bungie's next game does entail multiplayer, then yes, I'd love to see a reincarnation of the Optimatch in one form or another. I didn't post much in it during it's final days, but I loved that place during the Halo 3 era.

I who walk alone in this world wrapped in the arms of the past not knowing what lies ahead of me. What am I? A soulless being to be beaten by the rage of those who hate me? Cutting my way past hopes and dreams. Sit in the window sill as I do every day and night resignations on my slate of who I am and what is left behind. Concealed in the words that chases my every thought. I who walk alone in this world…I am broken

I hope so i miss that forum.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I spent some time in optimatch when it was up and running. I'd be glad to have it back for bungies next game for sure.

  • 01.08.2012 4:20 PM PDT

If it is indeed an fpsmmo, I don't really see a need for a playlist forum, but maybe something similar.

Yea I'm pretty sure you right. I always thought it was one of the better forums here.

You guys care too much.

I miss the Optimatch so much. I didn't know it was being taken down, or I would have screencapped a TON of threads.

I miss Shishka.

I would say he is still the most entertaining of employees, even if he doesn't happen to be around anymore.

The Optimatch Forum will rise again I believe. It's just napping.
