Been around this site since 03.

Will we still keep our Halo Emblem avatars on the site?

EDIT: Answered

The change is better described as a "freeze". Bungie.net will no longer have access to the live Halo data. This means that on March 31st, 2012, Bungie.net will no longer reflect changes you make in game, and will no longer have the ability to affect the game. This means no more file shares, screenshots, new stats (old stats will be available in archive form), your service record (including armor selections) won't update anymore, etc.

I believe that the answer to this question is yes, but they won't be updated from the game anymore. Basically, you'll be stuck with whatever it last read from the game.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

I hope so, I've had this emblem for a long time and I don't want to get rid of it.

The Halo stats aren't being erased, they just will stop being updated. It is unknown to us when the Halo stats will be deleted.

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Said stats WILL be updating as normal over at HaloWaypoint.com though, correct? At least, when the transition's complete?

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I would imagine that the only people who could definitively and authoritatively answer that question would be the data managers for the new domain.

Analogy: A car that I once owned (and religiously maintained) has just been sold to a new owner. While I would like to think that the new owner will continue my maintenance schedule and care for the vehicle, what they do with the car after they have the keys is up to them.

The folks at Halo Waypoint have every reason, every motivation, and I would wager a strong desire to continue to offer accurate, relevant, and interesting Halo content and player/game data. What and how they offer/provide is going to be their call and their link to their audience. I don't expect that they will disappoint, but I don't think that anyone here can make promises on behalf of someone else.

Of course, I wasn't necessarily looking for promises, just some tidbit of information. I already know a reign-handing-type situation is going on with Bungie and 343, and will finish up on the specified date in March, but indeed, what is currently done with our stats and what may be is pretty exciting, now that they've given us a couple of delectable morsels already.

Better Analogy: A car that you built from the ground up, then decided to give up on because that car was holding you back creatively (even though it was making you boogaquatrillions of dollars) is given to another company by your former boss. You say that you wish for them to take care of it, but you secretly hope they throw a rod the first time they take it for a serious ride so that it makes you look like a mechanical genius.
