Can someone link me to a source for all this? I'm still pretty unclear on what's happening...


Linky

I'm still trying to grasp this, but the reason sites like Forge Hub and XForgery will go down because 343 is intentionally having a period of time in which online filesharing is disabled, rendering those sites temporarily useless? I understand the API Key issue, but not the map-hosting site issue totally.

yea pretty much, other things such as CC's also rely on the fileshare system.

the down time could potentially kill the sites because people will stop visiting, get bored, go to other games and forget about reach all together.

Dang that sucks dude.

and eww waypoint, how do you stand it?

quite easily, the place isn't bad aslong as you avoid attacking people and at the moment i'm currently going to lie low for 2 weeks because the temptation to wind up the competitive poster for them to attack me to get them banned is to great.

So you want to have a reputation of being a retard?

i don't care for reputations, i do as i damn well please.

I probably wasn't going to get Halo 4 anyway. I'm not a big Halo fan, but that sucks for you guys. I'm a big Half-Life fan, so on the other hand...at least you guys know that H4 is being made. Stupid Valve won't tell the community anything. And if they gave gave Half-Life to another company, I would probably be upset too.

Halo 2 didn't have Forge or any "custom content community" that I can think of, and yet it's the Halo I had most fun with. I think it was and is the best Halo so far. The communities had nothing to do with that. So if you think 343 "monopolizing everything" is honestly reason enough to conclude that Halo 4 will suck... Well, then I can't take what you say very seriously.

If not for Anniversary and the Title Updates, I probably would have quit Reach a long time ago. Default Reach is just not fun. The fact that 343 is trying to make a game, of which they didn't even make, better with any updates at all says a lot of good things about them, I think. Why should they even try to make Halo Reach perfect if it's already their job to make three more Halos?

What makes people think that Halo was in better hands with Bungie? The features? Seriously? 343 is "just getting started". 343 can't just copy and paste all the features that Bungie added over years in just a few months. Not to mention that Bungie didn't lift a finger to fix their own game. They do not care about any of you.

343 is a company. A company that's trying to make a whole new video game, fix Reach little by little, and put together a website that will work for all Halo fans. The mature thing would probably be to bare with them, wait for results, and write out some constructive criticism every now and then. What the majority of you do is complain, spit on 343's attempts to do...everything that they're trying to put together, insult them, and complain some more.

Grow up. Stop being a bunch of drama queens.

3 legged goat isn't me, the post is what sarge was saying in party chat and 3 legged goat was afraid to post it over at waypoint so i did it instead.


He was actually upset that you used his name on the post. I don't think he knew his concerns were being written down :P

I still like them for the approach they took, but ALOT needs to be done before I can call them saviors and -blam!- as far as Reach is concerned.

So search for files through your xbox.

I hate to say it as much as anybody else, but each Halo game is never as good as it's prior game. Take for example, Halo 2 MM was the best multiplayer in my opinion and then Halo 3 was released which didn't live up to the Halo 2 experience. The next Halo game with multiplayer, Reach, isn't no where near as good as Halo 3. So if this tread continues, expect Reach to be better than Halo 4 which doesn't say much for the up coming game.

Of course this is just my opinion and I've been playing pretty much on a daily basis since Halo CE...

I completely agree. This is why I can't understand why anybody would say that Halo was in better hands with Bungie. Bungie was the one degrading Halo. Yet everybody's judging 343 for what I think are completely trivial things when 343 hasn't even finished their own entirely new Halo game yet. I couldn't care less about any of the stuff these people are talking about if Halo 4 turns out to be an awesome game.

343 hates branch communities.


I have never gotten that impression. They pretty much do a bungie blog like thing afterall.


I will miss api dearly.
and screenshots
and fileshare stuff.


I hope this is not the end of an era.

That's what happens when you make a thread called "what would you title be?"

And Achronos is in a good mood.

lol

I miss the prime of H3. When the weekly updates were worth reading, when the game was fun, everyone had mics, the community was diverse, and when you could actually sit down and enjoy yourself.

Lolreach.

I hope H4 is worth buying otherwise I'm done with Halo.

Despite the fact I share some of your concerns...
Posted by: A 3 Legged Goat
Not only has 343 infested Reach with the most controversial title update to date
Out of curiosity... waaat? I thought you folks liked the Title Update?


I know I don't in some aspects of it. All the TU did was throw in some old Halo elements that don't work well with Reach's engine in an attempt to stall the population issues and hold off the remaining people until Halo 4 arrives. It's not even a shouldn't even be called a Title Update. All it did was finally tweak bloom which was what was wanted from the start, and completely ignored all of Reach's other faults that far overshadow bloom.

I don't know where I stand with 343, I give them a break since they haven't put out their first game yet, but the infestation of Reachtards on their forums and some of their decisions leave me mistrusting them.

Anyone that belived that 343 would support community websites is an idiot.

Maybe I am wrong about this, but who says that 343 won't support community websites? Systems like Bungies take a lot of time to (re)build. Bungie's system was build over several years, not months.

Chillax.

I was banned because i said that the mods are doing a terrible job at monitoring the forums and how they ban everyone who isn't super polite. They'll never listen.
