Error 404:
-Error not found.

Coming back from a long dormancy, I have a request. To the moderators, Achronos, or the web team.

Nothing against this, I fully understood why, even to the point of agreeing-
When I wrote that long 13-page thread "The creation of Halo 4" it is now called -some of you might remember it being on the top form topics- it was locked a while after Bungie stated they were "no longer managing the Halo universe". Right. I really do agree, it doesn't fit in the universe forums, or anywhere but the flood.

So, since then, I made a huge overhaul and posted it, expanded, updated, and matured in the 343 forums at halo.xbox.com, and to say the least, it's certainly depressing to think of it in it's current state.


I wrote and updated that thread because of two reasons.
1. To try and give ideas to the development of Halo 4.
2. Entertain the community.

While the creation of Halo 4 rots somewhere in the depths of halo.xbox.com with a total of twenty-one posts over the course of many months, it cannot fulfill either objective.

It has entertained twenty people in the 343 forums, as opposed to hundreds in this relatively active community being in the top forum topics here on bnet,

And as long as 343 doesn't hire a team to read through every single thread on their website, my thread is going to be sitting in a dumpster until I give it an occasional bump- and one to many bumps would get any thread locked.


So, second attempt-
I tried posting it in the flood.
But that's the last place where concept threads go, I would even go to the extent to say, if it doesn't fit anywhere else, it goes here in exception of concept threads for Bungie or 343's next game. It did not receive any attention after a numerous bumps over the course of a few days. If it gained any popularity, I would not be writing this thread.



So here's what I am requesting.

I'm asking that anyone who can, moderators, web team, etc. to allow me to post this thread back into the Universe.

I'm going to be honest.

The 343 forums suck. For those who are unfamiliar, there are usually less than five people viewing every forum. That's someplace you would expect new threads to be created faster than posts.(Just checked the website, "zero people in the past five minutes")

Not meaning I have anything against the 343 forums, BS Angel's cool, but who, who even goes there?

The 343 forums is NOT the place for any long term, long length-ed, thread, especially because they don't even have a top forum topics section where a good thread can stay afloat without constant bumps!

I remember that huge... what is it... Halo: Reach thread that was the harbinger to invasion gametype? The guy who wrote is is now an absent member, but anyways for those who are unfamiliar, it is probably the longest-holding and largest(not in OP length but in posts) thread ever. It was about everyone starting in ODST drop pods, from there the match extends to a huge battlefield, with in-game purchasable weapons and vehicle drops.

It wouldn't of had been able to thrive or bring out Bungie's invasion gametype if we didn't have an active community and a top forum topics list!

My goal is to continue to entertain the community, and although there is little time left until Halo 4 is to be released, I still hope that 343 will take a look or notice my thread, and perhaps use some ideas for the next game, if they are already in the bug-squashing stage.

They aren't going to make an exception to the rules for one thread, just repost it in the Flood.

EDIT: My bad, you already posted it in The Flood, I missed that part...

The waypoint forums are plenty active, dunno what you're smoking OP.

Also, you spend effort writing a big thoughtful thread. Good for you, don't get so butthurt that people did not go into a frantic fury over it's amazingness.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

So you want to repost a once popular thread of yours because - in your eyes - it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves?

  • 06.20.2012 6:51 AM PDT

You've already made the thread more than once on the forum here. One was locked, and the other didn't get as many replies as you had hoped so it got buried - It happens. You don't just remake the same thread in the hopes of it gaining popularity, or because you're trying to get a developer to look at your ideas.

Even then, you should have just PMed a mod about this.

Кланяються мені!

Halo 4 has no place in the Universe Forum. They locked your thread before if anything you should have appealed the lock. I'm sorry your thread isn't as popular as you think it should be. The Flood is the most active public forum on BNet. It would seem you need to edit your threads content, but I do recommend you don't spam the forums with continuous slightly altered repeat threads as you would be breaking the rules.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Waypoint kids don't really read anything longer than 4 lines. You should remember that when making a thread there.

I'm with you on this one. No offense OP but that's life on a forum, sometimes threads go well, sometimes they don't; just gotta roll with the tides so to speak. Also, if this is/was a big problem then you should have just PM'ed the mod in the beginning.

  • 06.20.2012 8:14 AM PDT

You've posted the same thread a few times. You admitted to bumping it a bunch. And since the thread isn't just about story, you want to post in the Universe (when in actuality it does go in the Flood, whether you liked the attention it received or not).

Them's the breaks mate. You'll just have to deal with it. Honestly, just wait a couple months and if the thread is still relevant, post it again in the Flood.

Desiring the right to repost a thread that's run it's course in an non-relevant forum is a bit far fetched. While your original thread may have bulk, it is in turn just a wish-list of features in the upcoming Halo title which is no longer related to these forums.

The only appropriate place people will be entertained by such ideas is the Flood. Unless I am gravely mistaken, the Universe is designated for the discussion of lore and universe, not ideas about gametype features or design specifications.

I am discussing your thread in terms of entertainment because that is all it can contribute to these boards. 343 industries does not actively involve their design process here, and considering the nearing release of the game you wish to influence, such features in design have likely been long-since decided upon. In terms of actual game contribution, your thread is likely irrelevant unless you plan on outfitting it for Halo 5 or some sort of DLC expansion. Why you wish to continue promoting it is not understandable.

I've created many of threads where I thought my idea was amazing and that everyone should look at it. Unfortunately, just because I or someone else thinks they have a great idea, doesn't mean that everyone thinks the same. If you've reposted this thread in several areas and have found little success, perhaps it's time to hang up the hat and say goodbye.

Your thread was locked almost one year ago. What appeals it could have had are now moot. Moving the thread isn't an option as the system is broken and it would remove your original post.

Since Halo 4 was confirmed to be a 343 Industries working title, your thread was locked. There is no reason that it should be in the Universe Forum now, and if we allowed it, we'd have to allow other Halo 4 threads as well. We can't make exceptions just because you feel sad that your thread didn't get much recognition.

Oh yes, they're active, but the population? It's a god awful community. Nothing that makes me want to stay.

It does suck when a thread that you put a lot of effort to make, dies but you need to get over it. I don't know why you want your thread in this website so much. If you want 343i to notice your ideas then you need to post in their forums not here.

That thread that you posted is waaaaaaaaaay to long I didn't even attempt to read it and most people don't want to waste their time reading somebody elses wish lists. If you attempt this thread again I think you should post different sections of it in different threads that way its not so overwhelming and people can focus on that specific point.

Sometimes you need to accept the way things are. It sucks but it's not that bad. Posting this in here isn't going to get rules changed special for you. Sorry your article didn't work out.

Sadly, this is the first rule.

But!

That was my favorite part. The horrors! On any website...

Your passion is admirable, Mr. Cow. You are just mooing up the wrong tree. 343 is not coming here to mine ideas for their next game, and we have retired from service in the UNSC.

Hang onto that passion. Someday, when you have ideas for where we can take our next game, I will listen if I can.
