Yes I know, bad choice for a name. Not only is it cheesy, but Bungle's characters in Destiny are called Guardians too.

 

Also, new Halo 5 forum incoming but it's already crowded so we have to figure out how if we're merging Halo 1-3 into one forum or not.

Spartan fours, ew.

Halo 1-3 should for sure be their own consolidated forum.

 

Reach and Halo 4 should be unified too, because you might as well dump all the shit together.

My votes for the three forum buckets:

Halo 1, Halo 2-3, and Halo all the nonsense after

[Cocopjojo]

I don't think we should consolidate Halo 1-3 because then we'd have like 300 threads in one forum, and the other Halo forums would have ~40 threads each. And a lot of the Halo 1-3 threads have titles that don't explain which game they're about.
 
Maybe it would be OK to merge Halo 1-3 if we can find a tagging plug-in that allows them to be marked. Even then, though, it would be weird to have the most important Halo games all bunched together, while Reach, H4 and H5 are standalones, especially knowing they'll have 10% of the threads that the original games have.
 
I say we just leave it like it is.

[Nightshade]

Three forums, I say.

The Good Halo:

Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST.

The Bad Halo:

Halo 4

The Ugly Halo:

Reach, Guardians

Kidding. I say leave it as is.

I vote for a dedicated m cheif's house forum and then another one for everything that's less important.

This wins.

Hard to argue against this.

 

Goddamn, what I would give to play that map again.

WTF?

[Niterider]

I guess it could be worse.

 

Halo: Resurrection

Halo: Revenge

Halo: Rebirth

Halo: Revelation

Halo: In Space

Seriously though, why have a subtitle at all?

 

This is an ill omen.

Because after the swirly robes (WHILE ALREADY IN FUCKING ARMOR), giant robot, MC wanting to boink Cortana, and now the flat-assed subtitle, you should now be thoroughly convinced the Halo story is being helmed by 14 year old fan fiction writers.

Halo's always been the pinnacle of storytelling.

I'm really surprised they didn't show more about Halo 5 in this, but I'm still glad they actually doing a beta. Now we can yell at them for the stupid armor abilities this time.

We did that in Halo 4 and it didn't stop them from including one in DLC that auto-ejected you from vehicles.

Believe me, yell all you want. It will change nothing.

[Drew]

Yup. Halo 5 is destined to be total bunk, but I will play the beta and complain relentlessly regardless.

Apparently "Spartan Abilities" are not armor abilities. The armor abilities we know are gone per Frankie and Bravo, it's more like how they added boarding and dual-wielding to Halo 2.

[Drew]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Changing the name doesn't change the way they fundamentally break Halo.

The thing that has me worried? Someone from 343i had to okay the CGi trailer. Now, you can say there's not armor abilities in the game. That's fine. But the stuff in the video did look like armor abilities (ground pound attack, jet pack, etc.)

Even more realistically, 343i people collaborated on it. And I can't imagine they simply put all that stuff in there for no reason.
