Hello guys. How ya doin'?We all post our ideas, but do you think that Bungie guys read and try to pick up the best of our ideas and opinions and make them reality?
I don't think so, we are just cheating on ourselves.

If that's not true I expect a Bungie guy to reply...

Of course they do, it helps improve sales. Ever wonder where the sword came from, or the map backwash? All mentioned in h2 threads!

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

When Bungie reads our ideas they think we are High!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Believe it or not -- just because people ask for it on here, doesn't mean bungie didn't already have that same thing in mind, and they were already implementing the idea.

General ideas, possibly. As said, they probably have the idea in mind too.

Specific ideas, no. Not to mention nearly all the ideas suggested are outright terrible. Bungie knows what's best for Halo so outside influence has very little to do with it(but, can't say Bungie figureheads do read the forums in their spare time just for the hell of it) Plus, someone could file a lawsuit for "theft of intellectual property" if Bungie listened to some random dude on their forums wanting a "Concussion Rifle that knocks the enemy on their feet".

I think if they find someone in the Forum with a similar Idea as theirs than they would focus more one it!!

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

How can anyone say yes or no?????

Since 90% of these forums are full of ideas that are unpractical and 80% of those ideas are started by individuals who cannot spell, or have a poor sense of grammar. Then it seems that Bungie is searching for a needle in a Haystack or more appropriately, Good Ideas.

So there is only about 10% of the ideas on these that are worth considering, 8% of which has already been decided on by the Bungie team. So there is a 1 in 50 threads that will actually contain something that Bungie will consider.

Sucks Huh? If only people thought their ideas out more. And Considered how those would affect the story, and the gameplay, not to mention the implications of such.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

there is not point in saying hey i got a 40- HIGH RANK MEANS NOTHING, it means you either bridged host or cheated...and the skillfull player like myself have 27s cause of cheating.

Gamertag: StlcKs <-- i is an "L"

Since Bungie likes to surprise and shock us like they do I doubt they listen to any of the story threads but they may read the weapons or vehicles ideas. You know, small stuff.

You put an ellipses after the quotation marks, and you put a space between ha and the Exclamation mark. Not to mention the double caps on the HA. and the space between that and the following ha.

They already have the game basically done. They already said they have halo2 voice fillers for the characters and filler music. They are just going over balancing and textures for the maps. They are already doing MP match testing. They are finished wit ideas. It's too late to change anything major.

Hardly. Most of the stuff people want Bungie to do is obsolete to the gameplay and Halo itself, so I hardly think they'd actually consider using any ideas they get from the forum. However, a good idea is a good idea nonetheless, but they come about once in a while and are hard to find, or over looked.

Most highly-demanded ideas such as the piolotable Pelican/Phantom and human banshee are probably already in the game, and Bungie also have their own ideas. So the likehood is that very few ideas in the forums are going to end up in the game. This is probably due to the fact that most of them are a little like this:

ZOMG! LETS AV GRUNTS IN MP!!!!1!!!1!!1!

THERE R SPARTANS FEET IN DA BANSHEES IN DA TRAILER!!!1!
DdUAL SWORDS PPL!1!!

If you were an international corporation, would you listen to them?

Forum and Master Forum Ninjas do reply if it's a important thread. But don't expect an official Bungie.net guy to shoot the breeze.
