Subject: The end of Halo

I have to agree. I'm going to miss the stats here on the B.net, Bungie was so much better at managing Halo than any other company ever will be. I'm dreading the 7th, I hate to think what they're going to do to my favorite playlist after they finally force the stupid TU on me.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I just hope 343 can deliver.

Halo REACH, was great. But lacks something.

I hope Halo 4 is more like Halo 3 than REACH.

That said, I have not played Halo 3, since the release of REACH.

Hopefully E3, we will see a glimps at Bungie's New Project.

Also if Halo 4 is to have a Beta, it should be out in May. (343 be stupid not to do this).

Out of curiosity... waaat? I thought you folks liked the Title Update?

yeah but it makes it so you can have 4 shot dmr games with out making anything op.

I actually don't. Bleedthrough screws up too much of the sandbox.

So because you personally find no interest in Halo community websites' stat tracking abilities, you want that privilege gone? I feel a bit embarrassed wearing the same avatar as you.
I never said that. I love Halo Tracker. Pretty sure he was talking about Waypoint's stats and tracking. Even if he wasn't, that doesn't change much. I also never said that the privilege should be gone. I'm arguing that it shouldn't be a priority. Maybe you should reread my post more carefully.

And you should feel embarrassed. That's my avatar, stop being a copy cat and get your own.

It's irrelevant if Halo CE and 2 didn't have API for stat tracking. However it is relevant that those games would have been much better with proper API.
If it's relevant that those game would've been better with API then it would absolutely be relevant that they didn't. That statement doesn't make any sense. Especially since I was using them as examples as to why API isn't important when it comes to making great Halo games.
Posted by: P3P5I
Honestly any game is much better with a more involved community, and API stat tracking helps encourage that. It's a great investment, and the benefits easily outweigh the resource costs.
Not necessarily. Halo Reach was formed the way it was because a certain part of the community was heard more than the others. That seems to be the general consensus. "Casuals made Reach what it is", which means a lot considering that Reach is agreed to be a major digression when compared to previous Halo games. Halo 4 would probably be a better game if 343 exercised much more personal judgment than listening to any of the communities.

That may not be what you were trying to say, but even if it wasn't, can you say that you know for a fact that the development of an API would "easily outweigh the resource costs"? Even for a game that 343 didn't even make in the first place, taking into consideration that they've already been given the job of making three more Halos?

If you want to be taken seriously in any argument like this, you need to consider how other people play games, and not just what you like doing.
If you want to be taken seriously in any argument, you need to learn to consider the subject from all angles, and to not give advice on something that you're not even exceptionally good at.

"It's Funny until someone gets hurt, then it's Freakin' Hilarious."

My advice, wait till h4 is out. maybe they'll come to their senses. watch some reviews, get a grip on what its like, then decide for yourself. I would also like to add that chances are they have the same product timeline as reach- --ANOUNCED--------BETA--------------------------GAME RELEASE. They will most likely get word from the community and fix problems before the release.

I have actually hoped it would fail. Not because of any resentment to any of these epic communities but rather simply because it's my big middle finger set against Microsoft's theft of this game's rights. It's going to fail. I don't know if Halo 4 is gonna suck... I would get it for the story and extra game play, but prolly when the price gets nice and low from used copies xD.
There are a lot of things that have made Halo amazing...one of them being the kind of involvement and support Bungie made and allowed. Slap this jazz under a dictatorship and watch it fall... simple as that.

I shudder at the thought of posting in the H2 forums over there. Other than Halo 4 and Reach, all the other Halo forums are mostly inactive and don't really offer much of a discussion when they are.

EDIT: WTF this is the Reach forums.

Halo 4 is not horrible and not good, it isn't out yet. Stop judging a game that isn't out yet, it makes you look like whiny -blam!-es.

I don't see the problem. As long as H4 is a good game all those useless community sites don't matter.

And it's not like Halo hasn't been dying since Reach came out.

Halo has had it's time, I guess it's now just time to say good bye to the game we once loved.

Well yeah 343 is monopolizing everything, they're Microsoft. I have been noticing for a long time that Microsoft would rather just put out a shoddy product that they know will make them money, rather than provide their community with actual quality. Ever have an XBOX 360 break on you? Of course. An original XBOX? Mine's still doing great. At one point Microsoft cared about giving us quality, but now they're just a bunch of greedy bastards who want to make a quick buck. They don't care what the community wants, just what it'll pay for.

(To discuss Halo 4.)

I didn't see this coming.

Although, commercially and critically, Halo Reach did extremely well.

Community has taken a hit, not the franchise itself.

Bungie stated that Halo is now in the hands of the community.

Well Halo websites are disappearing.

I blame Call of Duty.
