It appears there are quite a few (too many actually) people who are way too hung up on names.

Allow me to explain. Notice at the top you now have a "My Groups" link. It used to say "My Chapters." Why did we do this? Well, what's going to happen when we start having Halo 2 clans on here? You have two links, My Chapter and My Clans? That gets confusing and there's no room for it (we have "My Stats" to fit in afterall).

GROUPS is a global term that can accommodate both clans AND chapters.

Honestly I didn't think this would be a big deal at all but apparently it is. I will edit the FAQs to reflect this with more accuracy now.

So, you do have CHAPTERS still. Your Chapter is a subset of your groups, just like your CLan will be.

For new people it won't matter at all - I think right now it's just unsettling for everyone who is used to chapters. We'll all make it through this together.

Good explanation.

And I'm glad clans will get their own section in "My Groups"...I imagine that will be very helpful.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Very true. That's why I made sure not to bring it up in my own review. I mean, the name really isn't what matters in an update like this! Sure it us wierd, but so is every other new thing at first! :)

Interesting. How will clans be integrated into the groups? Will the group automatically become a clan and all group members added to the clan roster?

  • 09.24.2004 12:24 PM PDT

Maybe all groups will have Live integration, rather than having to specify whether you're a chapter or a clan?

No, clans are 100% managed through the game UI and Xbox Live. A chapter and clan are separate entities. We're still working through a lot of the issues and complications. Good times.

So, what does this mean?

bah

This means there are currently no clans on Bungie.net, but you will be able to find your clans once Halo 2 comes on Xbox LIVE. There are no "Groups" but rather Chapters and Clans.

Everything is still a chapter then.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Awesome. Just awesome. The only thing I think needs to be done is add more themes (Skins, whatever) but I know it will be done in time so it's awesome. I'll have to adjust a bit but awesome.

Oops. Good point, reigsomething. I could have sworn that that wasn't there when I posted, but it's more probable that I just missed it.

Uh, did you even read what Sketch just said? Chapters are still called Chapters. Since clans haven't been implemented yet, the Classifieds is still for advertising Chapters.

Well I'm a happy camper. No problems from me. Just a load of annoying bugs which people are probably swatting right now.

Love it.

I would say Groups, as clans are allowed to advertise there as well.

There's no real need for it now anyway. The forums are the best part of chapters after the upgrade, and they didn't show up in the activity log.

I don't know why it was even there in the first place. Sometimes the information it showed was very, very, wrong.

so will your group name be the same as your clan name? or is it to early to know?

I never found that to be so. In fact, the Activity Log is the one missing component that I would class as vital. For small to medium clans who used the databases a lot it saved trundling through each section looking for changes.




Anyhow, I'm quite interested to see how these clans will work.

Because they can.And if you disagree the Flaming Ninjas stosh keeps in his backyard will be after you.
