"Sometimes life gives you lemons, and then you have to say 'f**k the lemons' and bail."

If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

I don't feel like skimming this thread, so I bet I'm beating a dead horse, but I'll say it anyway:

This is normal.

Bungie has gone dark, Halo has died down (hell, they don't even handle it anymore), and we're left with little but each others company. What is there to discuss? The Community? Gets a bit redundant after a while, doesn't it?

So unless The Flood or private groups are your bag, it's going to seem awfully quiet around here.

On the flip side, it's probably be safe to expect an unprecedented surge in activity when Bungie announces their next IP, whenever the hell that will be. I think the notion that it'll be multi-platform will make up for it not being another Halo title.

This happens every time there's a lull in Bungie's game cycle. There's less to post about, so the quality of discussion is lower. Once we (finally) get some info on what the hell they are up to then it'll be back to normal.

Admittedly it's worse now because it's been a year since any real news but I wouldn't worry.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

"The Old Community" as you call it isn't that old, and it will soon be replaced by a new game. Which will basically be the same as it used to be.

If I had a time machine, I would give you Halo 3 Recon before it was cool.

I remember the time I could give out Recon armor... curse you obi, achilles, hawkeye, everyone!

Send 1v1 challenges to Butane123 for the Haunted Helmet!

Dude, you guys would make whole threads in the Halo 3 forum, and by the time I got there they had over 300 replies to them.

I got soooo many messages on Live for that. Funny though.

You know everyone over here right now will become old when the new members arrive with Bungie's new game.

I miss the old Community Manager.


Who was that?


Exactly! I like you.

Ahh I missed those days.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I kind of dislike the deadness, but also don't mind it. The reason I don't mind it is because I can keep up with all the threads posted. The reason I don't like it is because there isn't many discussions and a lot of threads die so soon. >.<

Overall I am happy. ^_^

Bungie has a lot riding on their next project. If the game isn't popular, the community will never recover.

Things were great between Halo 2 and Halo 3. I hope we can get back on track sooner than later.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

This happens in between every game. It is what it is. Give it time. When bungie announces there new game there will be a crazy surge of members.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

And in this time of mass confusion, us loyal followers of bungie will become the SUPREME RULERS OF THA UNIVERSE!!! Or at least that is what i'll be daydreaming about when I can't even get a word in because i'm being drowned out by spam...

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

We just don't have a lot to talk about these days.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

It's all perpetual.

In comes new game, in comes strong community activity.

I could go on.
I wonder if the new generation will be more intelligent than the Halo 3, ODST, and Reach generations. I know I wasn't the brightest when I first got here.

I hope they are more open-minded, too.

More users will return with their "stupid opinions" when the next ip is announced. However, there are still plenty of older community members lurking around the forums. Besides, the newer community isn't so bad.
