Don't use stupid abbreviations. (Example: Your = ur, You = u, Are = r, Halo: CE)


Don't you think disallowing abbreviations like Halo: CE (or H:CE) is going a bit far? I agree that "ur" and "u" and "lol" are juvenile and all, but are M1, M2, M∞, TFL, SB etc also disallowed? Stosh, these abbreviations are part of the Bungie community (although I suppose CE is stupid; "Combat Evolved" is a stupid subtitle for Halo). You have to make exceptions.

I dont think "Combat Evolved" is a bad subtitle, though I did find it rather strange when i first saw it because it sort of seemed too out-of-game. But I do think Halo deserves to be called by it's actual title. Hey, we're all mates, so we're all on a first-name basis eh?
That said, I think we all know what Halo is, (or at least I sure hope so 0_o) so it kind of makes adding :CE a bit redundant, no?

The "CE" is used so that "Halo" isn't ambiguous - it could refer to either the game, the series, or the ring itself. So Halo: CE is a clarifier. Although I suppose H1 would be better.

meh.

Combat Evolved is a great subtitle! Name me a better one, if you dislike it so much.

I think he was referring to the site actually Xd In which it is very sexy indeed. As far as Web pages can be...sexy...

I don't like "Combat Evolved" because it sounds like an advertisement: "Halo: Combat Evolved", it's advertising the game, just like a supermarket or something. "Halo: Fresh as the Morning!"

I want a subtitle that isn't just a throwaway line but actually has something to do with the game itself, like "Myth: The Fallen Lords", or "Marathon 2: Durandal" or "Myth II: Soulblighter". Now they were good subtitles, cos they distinguished the game from the others in the series: I'm sure the combat in Halo 2 will be even more "evolved" than in Halo 1. But Durandal was the only AI you take orders from in Marathon 2, as opposed to in Marathon (you listen to Leela as well) and Infinity (you listen to Durandal, Tycho and Thoth). In Myth I the war is against all of the Fallen Lords, whereas in Myth II the main bad guy is Soulblighter with a little help from Shiver. This is reflected in the subtitles.

So basically, Halo's subtitle should have been more relevant to the game, is what I'm saying. Like the book, Halo: The Flood. They could have used "The Flood" instead of "Combat Evolved".

Great job re-vamping the site... I wasn't too sure about the layout at first but now after a couple days I think it's leap and bounds ahead of the old site.

Great job and keep up the good work.

hi everyone. im new to forums. I have to agree that "combat evolved" does sound like a commercial, i certainly dont refer to it as such, although i could not come up with a beter title.
i like how a forum gives me another reason to be online.*sniff/tear* i love meeting people that love halo.*breaking out into tears*

That last one was just a joke. Don't take everything I say so seriously.

Cause the webcam doesn't show moving images. The image gets updated every minute or so.

I think the real question is, why can't there be an actual webcam that allows you to watch moving images?

I like the sub title combat evolved. Halo 2 will probably have one as well.

cause i wanted to ask oppinions about stuff like using plasma swords and are there going to be more colors for multiplayer teams/ more options/ more sats in the 'post carnage report'.

Cause that would eat too much bandwidth and would break the servers. Achronos would be sad.
