So, do you guys think the new members that are coming with Destiny will try to emulate the Halo generation of members just as some of the Halo generation tried to emulate the Marathon generation.

I think that new members of the community will try to assimilate into the culture, if that's what you mean. But while they will grow into the community they will still brink new things to the community that may change some of the older members.

Hopefully they will not emulate the flame wars of k/d ratio and rank in a video game. Such as it happened in the Halo days.

I think he means the people who played Marathon back in the day, and they always talk about how great it was and stuff.

Ah well in that case, I can certainly see people doing. A lot of members that return are going to have high expectations based on Halo. In the end you can bet there will be some butt hurt members complaining that Destiny isn't a Halo reboot.

Exactly. Then we see all the "This sucks" and "That sucks" threads in which people jump onto the bus with because they want to be cool and say something sucks because someone else said it. When in all actuality, the game at hand was at least good.

Well, there was no Bungie.net Marathon generation considering the site was created in 2001, the same year Halo: CE came out. Also, that'd require them to do research to find out how the Halo generation considering the two will be separated by more than a year of Bungie's focus on the generations' namesakes.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I don't think anyone cares what Bungie games you played

No, actually you bring up a good point, intended or not. I can't speak for ecartman, but these are things I hope will not happen with the new game. Although it will. I just hope it will be minimal.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I dont think there will be as many new members as you guys think. You forget that other sites will have plenty of available information on Destiny. IGN for example released info before bungie did. Perhaps after the game is released there will be a huge influx, but im thinking not before.

The Halo community is a horrible community for the most part. Hopefully they'll be better, but I doubt it...

I honestly think it's more of a generational thing. My generation (and the one directly proceeding it) is one of privilege, to be honest, and is always quick to blame the developer and not themselves; to blame lag and not their skill (or lack thereof); to blame their teammates and not their own no-hand-eye-coordination-having asses.

It'll continue, though hopefully not as bad as the Reach era.

Progo, Shrew, Chryso, all are the same.

I think it will be fine, whatever the rush of fresh meat may be like.

They will most likely will, which is why we should set a good example.

Yea please. I remember being involved in those wars, I'd take em back if I could >.>

They will obviously want to fit in, so they will try to emulate the veterans.

Well they're not going to fit in well if they do -blam!- like that. Hopefully, the noobs will breathe a new soul into this site.

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

What we have here is a failure to communicate at times. New members join with this lofty i am better gamer high horse stance at times. Not all do.

Bungie fans are still here despite HALOs departure. Destiny will see a new influx. What you do on a consle does not relate at all to B.Net in the way some think.

Its always a process to get those few i hate to say it who will be bungie fans not tied to the next game release.(Sorta like a rock band who has fans just show up to hear them play on a tour basis. With the next album.)Some head in here to show us old timers how to post. or ruffle feathers

Question is will there be good ones or bad ones. It creates allot of flux here. Trolls who want to be cool kids will do so like before.

Who i worry about are those who are a breath of fresh air who might be scared off. I hope they stick around.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I think OP's asking if there will be players (who are not Halo fans) who come in with Destiny, love it a lot, then love Bungie, and want to be a total fanboy.. so they say (or they go play) Halo, and in turn, talk about how awesome Halo is.

Like with some people who've played Marathon. They had probably never heard of it before they became a part of this community, and never planned on playing it until they started to love Bunige and decided that checking out Bungie's past was worth it.

Do I think THIS will happen with newer members that come in with Destiny, probably not anytime soon. Halo is well known, someone who hasn't heard of Halo is rare. And if you decide not to play Halo, it's out of your own free will basically, ahahaha.

It will be a number of years before something like that happens.

This is exactly what I meant.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
