Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Seriously guys, is it Nop, with a silent G, Gee-nop, or some other variation?!

Dunno about you, but I think it rhymes with QWOP.

Well it's 'pong' backwards, so I think it could be a nasal glugging sound followed by 'OP'soooooo.....(GGG)nop.

*It sounds a lot better in the real than in text >.<

Vote for me for a free cookie.

When a G and a N are next to each other it's pronounced nnn, so nop.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

It is pronounced "nop". When -G- is before -N- it is usually silent.

To those saying the G is silent, I think you would be right under normal circumstances, but in this case, I don't think you are. Since GNOP is PONG spelled backwards, I think you should essentially say PONG backwards. The 70's board game GNIP GNOP was pronounced with both of the Gs as it was a play on PING PONG. I think the same applies here. Since you pronounce the Gs with the words normal forwards spelling, you pronounce the Gs in the backward spelling as well.

Of course, it's largely up to Bungie how we should pronounce their game, and I've not heard either way from them.

I have always pronounced it G'nop, with a big ol' G sound out in front.

And if thats wrong, I dont want to be right.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I pronounce it as "guh-nop", but I don't think the way you pronounce it is important, as long as people know what you're talking about.
