Subject: Rumor Control

We don't normally address rumors one way or the other, but this one was so ill-conceived and mean spirited that we felt it necessary to cut it off at the pass. Halo 2 clan content will be a normal aspect of the Xbox Live service, and will incur no extra costs for the user. Sigh.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Indeed, people why do believe these kind of things! You think that Bungie would...shame on you all!

Frankie - I'm confused... Is Bungie in the process of forming an evil empire? It doesn't seem like it.

The guy who made this story explains the reasons for such move: http://www.xblgamers.com/story.php?storyid=66

Seems that it was not 'mean spirited' at all (if you believe in his words)

Hmmm, yes... generally speaking, rumor control doesn’t seem to be necessary. But who knows, maybe this was bigger than I noticed? I didn’t even see the rumor in the first place. *Sigh* Messy....

how does making a rumor about clan support constitute tough? or cool?

at this point in my life ive pretty much stopped paying attention to anything i dont get straight from the developers (sites and trailers and the like) or a gaming magizing (gamepro's usually the most accurate, but theres some other good ones...dont feel like listing them right now...)

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

OK I have a question. I have never played X-Box live and although I know this is off topic does it cost anything> What do you need to run it.

It was probably a bunch of PS2 fans looking to bring down Halo 2 because they know it will wipe away their system in November...

haha we already wiped out PS2 users. They are now comparable to Mac users (no offense). Halo made everything else obsolete. ( minus Soul Caliber 2 on Cube). EVERY day at our school some nerd PS2 players come up and are like look at these screenshots, this game or that game will kick Halo and Halo 2's arse, and almost every day I get in trouble for fighting...

I didnt think this rumour was true, but you can never be more careful. Still I think it shows we should trust Bungie more. Especially since they'll be pur masters one day.

Those poor unfortunate PS2 gamers, when will they step into the World of Halo? They say the game sucks and it stinks and they haven't even played it. Let them play it a time or two while rockets wizz through the air, a warthog is digging into the mud while the chain gun is firing away at a sniper on some hill as a plasma grenade lands on your head...

ok im stopping now.

You get my point. I think.

I dunno if this is the right place to ask, but since Clan Support did come up. Will Clan Support include online stats that are viewable from the web / will we be able to post clan stats on our websites?

Just the fact they have to say that shows that their system is feeble and inferior.If by some miracle they get a game better than Halo(unlikely)then it won't matter because Halo 2 is coming out and by the time they finish the "Better than Halo" game they wouldn't have the time to make an even better seqeul(Spell??)!!

If they try to beat Halo then that would mean that they are trying to beat a game that is relatively old so that would mean that they're also behind the times.

I love false information. Without it I could never appreciate the true stuff.

I only trust Bungie, it is the only sure shot of what will happen. If Bungie doesnt put it on its site then it doesn't exist. Even if Bungie says something I wont beleive it until I hear the either say it is official or I see it with my own eyes. I still check other sites because it is fun to dream... :)
