I often have ideas for topics that relate to many facets of the Halo universe. Not one game specifically.
Where is the best place to post such a topic?
It would be good if there was a General Halo Forum.

The Joyeuse IP Formula

As of now, it would usually go in New Mombasa. If it ties into a theory, it would usually go in the Halo 3 forum, due to the large amount of theories in it.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I think that The Library sort of fills that void. Its supposed to be about Halo on xbox, but I see all kinds of things in there. After H3 is released, it will probably encompass that too.

So, I don't think what your describing is really necessary. Maybe the Library should be officially re-tooled to conform to your general ideal.

Thats also what I was thinking. But we don't want the Library getting spammed... Ah well, I'll leave it to the guys that run the show. They know what they're doing.

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.


',:\ IF YA SAHMELLLL

I would think New Mombasa, unless it is about future Halo events then I would pick Halo 3 Forum. But I'm no expert.

If it involves "Halo" post it in New Mombasa.

Not if the theory is Halo CE or Halo 2 involved...

You actually raise a good point and one i have been wondering about myself. See, we have certain Halo forums for general threads relating to that specific game, but i assume you are referring to absolute general Halo threads. Well, it's seems quite a few people go to The Underground. This somewhat annoys people because of the "THIS IS NOT A HALO BOARD" rule, but there's not really a designated place to put these general halo threads.

If you look at the above posts, it's clear that there is actually no real place to put the threads that don't fit into New Mombasa or halo 3 or the library etc. I would personally try putting something like that in The Underground and perhaps if a moderator is unhappy with this, they'll move it to the forum they deem most appropriate.

Just so you know, Bungie won't actually take and use ideas you have for future games; only take your feedback on existing games or whatever. That's not to say idea threads are bad, and so the point is still justified.

I'll be on my own side.

If you're wondering why Bungie doesn't use outside ideas in their games, it's because they don't want to deal with the trouble that it could cause. Say you posted an idea for the Mongoose, and they decided to put it in Halo 3, they wouldn't want to risk someone saying "OMG U STOLED MY IDEA!! LAWSUIT!!".

Besides, I'm glad they don't accept outside ideas. I don't think I'd want to see a plasma shotgun or a sniper with 500 rounds of ammo, no reloading, that fired grenade rounds.

I said idea's for threads, not idea's threads...

Yeh, New Mombasa is probably the best place.

I thinnk it would actually be best here because so many people check oou the threads and any Hlo-Halo2 fans would see this and say finally a general Halo-Halo2 general discussion room, so I thinnk you should start one here and see how it progresses if it does bad then move it to New Mombasa.
