Ach! Was ist los?

How will these forums change when Halo 3 is released?
Imagine a ninja standing in the middle of a crowded stadium and firing twelve hundred rounds through an M60 while Drowning Pool's Bodies plays over the PA system.

How wil it affect the forums? Here is my honest weather forecast...

Stage 1: Halo 3 forum inflation
The threads in halo 3 forum will triple in both number and length....more blacklistings will be handed out, more locked threads, easter egg threads...this goes for both Halo 3 forums (assuming there will be a Playlist Halo 3 forum)...it will be out of control...

Stage 2: Halo 2 Wastelands
Halo 2's Optimatch forum? It will become a barren wasteland...nobody cares about Halo 2 playlists when they have Halo 3 playlists, right?
New Mombasa? Similar symptoms as Optimatch, but on a slightly smaller scale...it will be alive, but barely...

The Halo 2 Optimatch forum will have to be removed...

Stage 3: Goodbye sweet Halo 1...
The Library will die off as if it had suffered from cardiac arrest: instantly...it will be 2 games behind, you honestly think anybody will post in the Library, despite the amazing quality of the game itself?
the Maw forum will remain in a neutral state, since half of its discussions are fueled by the idea of Halo 2 Vista...

Stage 4: Other forums
The Classifieds will receive a short but strong skyrocket of popularity....like a flash of lightning...more people will advertise their Halo 3 clans and b.net chapters...

The Flood will become mass-spammed with Halo 3 topics...after some users discover the sheer hectic state of the Halo 3 forums, they'll greedily look to the Flood to post their Halo 3 topic, hoping that maybe, just maybe their topic won't be trampled on...the Flood will then gain its share of spammers and will have to go through yet another disinfectant state like it did over the summer...

The Voting booth and Gallery will receive a little more attention, like the classifieds...and the news will also receive a similar popularity boost...

The Underground will receive dozens of topics per day, second in popularity to the Halo 3 forums, because everyone will be excited about Bungie's next game...but this popularity spike will happen circa 6 months after the release of Halo 3...

Don't know if this has been asked but here it is anyway:

Will there be more bungie forum avatars in the near future of Halo 3?

There will be more members, obviosly. Which means an increase in good and bad ones, but everyone has already said that.

New Mombasa may change to Halo 2 Xbox and Halo 2 Vista, with The Library and The Maw being combined.

Optimatch will be combined for Halo 2 and Halo 3 playlists I'm pretty sure, and that'll probably do it.

Also, the forums will have much more activity and probably more spam, meaning the new members that don't read the Terms of Use and Code of Conduct posting random crap in the wrong forum.

That should do it...

Moderators can already post in the voting both - just because we don't go offline doesn't mean we can't make code changes. :)
SRSLY? NO WAI!

Of course, I'm not intelligent enough to come up with a good poll... but the option intrigues me.

Oh c'mon. As much time as you spend in The Flood? You could make a "Coke or Pepsi" poll without blinking!

Coke or Pepsi? A little high-minded don't you think?

LOL WATS UR FAVORIT COLOR LOL would be more fitting...

*There should be a noticable increase in members.

*Optimatch may remain for Halo 2 and 3 playlists, but I think there should be a seperate one for Halo 3, and either scrap this one, keep it for a while longer, or add it to New Mombasa.

*Library and Maw should be combined, IMO

*Possible revival of the Voting Booth (because the Ninjas will all be able to make topics in there in the future.) This new Booth should be near-exclusive for Halo 3 content.

*Change the name of the Halo 3 Forum to "The Ark" or "High Charity" or something.

*I could imagine two seperate Friends Lists for both games- depends on how popular Halo 2 is going to be when H3 is released.

I bet there will be a lot of changes to this site when Halo 3 arrives. The new "Hawtness v2"

=)


I think xbox live should increase the friends lists 2 200 people

They should increase it to at least 150 or something.

A lot of people are going to be playing Halo 3 when this game comes out.

.................You won't have two seperate friends list - the Xbox only has 1 friends list for all games. Multiple friends lists defeats the point of a unified list across all games.........


I didn't think long enough about the friends list actually being an XBox-wide implementation. Duh....

But what about the personal Stats page interface on this site?

Is Bungie going to have two seperate tab pages to show the two different games stats?

************************************************************* ****
And not to belabor the stats question. In the game itself,....

I can see when playing H3, when you select your friends list, you would only see the H3 stats of everyone and not any H2 stats (if they haven't played H3, then their level would be blank).

Conversely, If you were playing H2, you would only see H2 stats of everyone and not any H3 stats (If they haven't played H2, then their level would be blank. - hard to believe that that could happen but I imagine it could.)

Ok, enough of that...... It was just a curiosity that I had to ask about.... Thanks...

New Mombasa will remain Halo 2 Xbox. The Maw will remain the way it is and always was only with less HPC threads and more H2V threads. It will NOT be merged with The Library. If it does then we maw goers will create a tidal wave of spam that not even the ninjas can defeat.

LONG LIVE THE MAW!!

Those predictions should logical to me, but I would think Optimatch (servicing both Halo 2 and Halo 3) or the Flood would be the second most popular forum.

Optimatch will remain for both Halo 2 and 3 - there isn't a need for two of them.

Moderators can already post in the voting both - just because we don't go offline doesn't mean we can't make code changes. :)

Many of the forums will likely be changing their name to something more indicative of their subject. For example, "New Mombasa" will likely become "Halo 2". This is because a lot of people seem to have the inability to understand which forum is for which game.

You won't have two seperate friends list - the Xbox only has 1 friends list for all games. Multiple friends lists defeats the point of a unified list across all games.

NOOOO!! dont change the Forum names to something borrring like Halo 1,
halo2, halo3, Just make the subtext to the forums a little bit bigger and bolder so the stupids wont get confused.

Perhaps it would eat up too much bandwidth, but I think this idea would be sweetness to the sickest extent. What if Bnet had an audio feature on the site where you could hear clips and songs from different Bungie games(mainly Halo series probably) while you're surfing the site. This idea is similar to the band 311's homepage whereas they play various songs from the band in a little player in the browser to enhance your experiance on their site. You can turn it off if you don't want to hear it. With the wide variety of audio available from Bungie, I could only imagine the possibilities.

Ninjas don't use firearms.

Their primary weaon is usually a crossbow, bow, or blade of some sort.

Their secondary weapon are usually stars or a banana.

God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

When Halo 3 comes out, the forums will be.........hmm....

.............Most likely a nightmare.

Looks like you're a little behind the times. We can use anything and everything, and some of us, myself included, have no objection to weapons that go bang.

Rumor has it that Halo 3's release will be compensated for by having the FASA division loan us a dozen pieces of heavy metal. I call dibs on the Mad Cat Mark II.

Ninjas are highly intelligent and very creative. Of course, they could use any weapon.

With the increase of new members a lot of spam is going to come our way. I may start lurking again. New people scare me.

I believe new members are the future...so we must stop them now...
