Yea, so if no one cares about Halo 2 Vista, then why the hell is it coming out?

Ever thought about thinking before posting? PC Gaming > Xbox gaming, whether or not Halo is on the PC or not. The people with REAL skill play PC.

You're stupid. Here's your wake up call. Be wise and take everyone's advise.

Anyways:

Keep it.

I sympathize with the original poster. The Maw is not what it once was. I used to post in there often with my old account, but now the elitism has gotten worse than it was back then. I say get rid of it; the Halo PC games just aren't as popular as the console versions, and I don't think they warrant having an entire forum dedicated to them. I would rather a better, more useful forum be created, or Bungie could just save some bandwidth and not replace it. Either way, the forum should just be deleted and Bungie.net should move on. The Halo PC players would just have to live with it.

The Halo PC players would just have to live with it?

how about no ladies and gentlemen scotty DON'T!

That's like taking away the halo 3 forum

Just because an inconsiderate jerk like you don't play halo pc like a lot of people do doesn't make you the boss to say "get rid of them"

I don't see elitism, I see competition, and I live with it.

There are many pc gamers out there, especially with WoW. Halo 2 Vista is going to kick some ass too, and if there is a cross between xbox live and Vista Live or whatever, bring it on, I will kick your controller ass with my keyboard/mouse.

Not as popular? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!

Let's see, there are a few thousand gamers on halo pc. That's dedication too considering how old halo pc is. I have been playing it since the day it came out. Plus you don't get charged to get online, you get weapons and create your own maps/weapons/vehicles.

So don't even say how stupid the Maw is, because it's not stupid. The Maw is the best forum hands down.

And where would we go if the Maw wasn't there? Remember, this is a Bungie site, not yours. Even PC players like feedback from Bungie, and we appreciate it too. We can't fix all problems, but we sure as hell help each other out.

And I thank the Mods for knowing how well the Maw is.

Keep it. I've been on that place for two years now and while it's gotten worse over the years, it's better than walking into any other forum around here and seeing an "OMGWTFCAPSLOL" thread.

Actualy, the maw has the most mature forum members from what I have seen. Sure the game disscussed in it is five years old, but it is the most productive forum, and is the only place you can talk about and show mods on all of bungie.net.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.... good one, man. Three of the best/most famous Halo PC clans started on that forum. The Maw is one of the best, most intelligent forums on b.net - it has more intelligent conversations than "OMG IS THAT CORTANA IS IN THE H3 TRAILER?"


Reminds me of the septagon raids way, way back in the day.

I hope all these posts prove that The Maw is active enough to be worth keeping. Please say you still love us and won't remove our forum. :)

I doubt any of the mods will listen to this, but when H2V comes out, it might be best to merge the Library and Maw together. Have one forum for all H1 players and fans. Then make another new forum, for H2V discussion and editing.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Gawd. Let's bulldoze yonder ghetto because the residents have been comfortable there for too long. Extremely selfish OP. Anyone who frequents the Maw and can get past the "elitism" can see that a lot of help and insight lands there, not to mention an iron-clad community. Mind your own business.

Unlike all of the other forums we actualy have brains in our skulls. We have ton's of clans grouping there, Custom Content for the game, the central for tons of sites, and Master Kim (a prize in himself). Sure we might be a little in active compared to the newer games, but all that will change in a few months time on the release of H2V. Just because we don't have a new topic poping up every five seconds doesn't mean we don't have rights. If the maw was removed, I would loose all my respect of bungie, and they would loose ton's of their more inteligent members. So go back to the Halo 3 forum, and talk about "da chif sud hav a gir"

I post in the Maw with an average of five replies a day. The Maw is anything but inactive. Our community is small, but we stick close to each other and we're quite active. Sorry we don't have people posting "LOL I THINK THE X BUTTON PUTS PEANUT BUTTER ON YOUR TOAST!!!!" threads every other minute, but some of us like the Maw's relatively slow pace. I wouldn't have appreciated Bungie or Halo PC as much without the Maw.

We don't demand much, we're absolutely content with one forum dedicated to HPC/H2V discussion, while creatures of lesser intelligence whine at the removal of Zanzibar when they already have two other forums dedicated to Halo 2: New Mombasa and Optimatch. I know, I know, they're different, but you don't see us complaining about that.

Plus, how else can PC gamers come to Bungie.net and have intelligent discussion about Halo?

MAWZORS FTW!

Get rid of the MAW???

Im a MAW goer, The Maw is full of very decent people and intelligent one's too. Your obviously one of those kids who doesn't know what they are talking about. As a MAW goer, i think that its one of the best and most sensible forum on the Bungie site. If it weren't for PC's, you wouldn't even have your frikin little XBOXES and XBOX 360 games! The PC Community are the mothers of consoles... b*tch!

Funniest post ever, keep the Maw, think that they might stop Halo 2 Vista, maybe delete it or put it on XP? I doubt it, every company wants to make money, no?

This is halo2, while haloPC is missing something called auto-aim. For you noobs out there such as the creator of this thread, that means that you cannot aim in the GENERAL DIRECTION of the persons head and get constant headshots. Then as you start screaming about how awesome you are and how everybody else is a noob, we are patiently helping the noobs by giving them tips and trying not to gangbang. In short, MAW>Septagon. There is nothing more to say.

I'm not sure why we're still discussing this when Achronos already came in and said it wouldn't be removed. I guess nobody trusts the Overlord. Or no one reads.

Really this should be locked... It's pointless...

Although I love how all of the more significant Maw people posted here... It just goes to prove the community point...

Exactly. Like they said. Mess with one, mess with us all.

  • 01.19.2007 2:26 PM PDT

wow the creator of this thread is made of 100% noob, if you really want to remove the Maw, then maybe you should just forget that it is here, and don't post here. O.o have you ever thought of that?
And I like the Maw, most of Masterz posts I've see are right, the maw is a great place to post mods, and you'll never get banned for it, all but if you rip something from Halo 2, or some time next year, Halo 3.

I love how the mods and the overlord posted here.

The Maw is one of the only places left on Bungie.net that has a respectable population. It is the only one I like to post in, the people there are respectable an intelligent, or at least a vast majority of them are. Try comparing your Halo 2 forum and The Maw, you have thousands of threads about the same topic, we MIGHT have two. Just because we don't spam about whatever is on our minds does not mean we are inactive, We know that posting in an existing thread is better than making a new one, and we are generally more mature then the insult-happy Halo Xbox forums.

EDIT: Don't forget about aimbots, Stealth.

The Maw is largely inactive compared to the rest of the forums and should be removed. Face it, no one cares about the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2. Discuss.


Posted by: Piggyfool1
I'd love it to be removed. It's mature, yes, but so inactive only a tiny minority would care after a week. How many people honestly own Halo PC? Activity is, for me, what mostly makes a forum (mostly. Halo 3 Forum FTL!). It's just my opinion, but we don't really need it...

It may be filled with misguided wierdos who still play a way-old crappy ugly slow PC game on PCs a neanderthal could design....


-_-‘ Gee thanks…That is a slight count of ignorance towards you my friend. A lot of us MAW goers have kick ass PC’s and Halo 1 definatly is not crappy, beats the hell out of Halo 2 IMO and many others.

Just because there's no "OMG PIE!" threads doesn't mean it's inactive.
LMAO.


I LoL @ that

The MAW is here to stay. What, do you hold some kind of big grudge against us? How about you crawl back into the Flood forums and post some "OMG PIE threads.”

I could write a long and detailed essay about this but...It's not worth the energy to try and explain it to you, that and the many fine MAW supporters before me have made a pretty clear message.
