My comment never said ES is going away. I just said there won't be an ES for awhile tis all.

Glad to finally have you back on the forums! A lot has changed since you have been gone. Hope you had a great time away~

Halo The Fall Of Reach Halo The Flood(you can skip this one since it is basically Halo CE in book form) Halo First Strike Halo Ghost Of Onyx Halo Glasslands Halo The Thursday War Halo Mortal Dictata Halo Cryptum Halo Primordium Halo Silentium Now the books below this are only extra material and are really meant for hardcore fans of the series Halo Contact Harvest Halo The Cole Protocol Halo Evolution(Get volume 2 since it is the same as volume 1 but includes more short stories) Why should I read the books in this order? Because each book influences the next in some way. The forerunner trilogy is last because it answers all the questions about Forerunners posed in each book(and some questions about the Forerunners from the games) and are frankly the best books in the list. Reading them in this way helps you better understand what happen and remain consistent with the knowledge of lore. Why are the last 3 books "extra material"? Because those books are each their own standalone story. They aren't influenced by any previous books and they don't influence any other books(but they do explain a LOT of the backstory behind the War and universe of Halo). They're very good books but if you just want to stick to the game plot and don't care about extra lore then there is no need to bother with them(except Halo Evolution since that tells the origin story and backstory of quite a few things) After you read the books I highly recommend you read the comics and watch Halo Legends + Halo FuD. The latest comic series Halo Escalation is fantastic and while the art is "meh" the story is "escalating" really well.

There were like 4 Halo cosplayers at FSC. Hopefully you see them around they were really nice!

WOAW YOU LIVE IN Miami too?? I might be volunteering at Animate! Miami! this November. If so I'll say hi if you're in your armor. I actually went to FSC this summer. Nice to make your acquaintance. You are now the 3rd person on the forums to live in Florida(that I know of) Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay!

Well if you're a fan of Halo then of course. The answer is an obvious yes

1. They said the ring performed a slipspace jump and ended up in a very very bad place.(Frank O Connor said this in the Comic Con panel) 2. Someone hasn't read the Forerunner trilogy. Read it then you would know the flood can choose who they want to infect. They're smarter then just "kill everything zombies" you just got de-BUNked. Don't question the forum mastermind of Halo lore, or you will face the same fate as the Forerunners.

Welcome to the 40th 343i Weekly Community Poll! The previous week I asked whether all of you would like to see the return of old PvE modes or some new ones. The response was great let us view the winner below: This week with all the awesome Comic Con news. The question must be asked! For Halo: Nightfall.

Deadline: 8/03/2014 @ 9pm EST Thank you so much for participating in this weeks poll. See you all next week! Have a question, complaint, or suggestion pertaining to this or next weeks poll?

It isn't a rumor this has always been the case. ESO is developed by ZeniMax Online Studio Skyrim was developed by Bethesda Game Studios Although with ESO being released you're 100% right that there won't be a new single player ES game for quite some time. I mean Bethesda Game Studios does have Fallout 4 and they can always create a new IP which I am hoping would be a SciFi RPG in their iconic RPG Design style. I think it is time they took a break from releasing ES anyways. With that being said I will eventually get into ESO. Mainly because the world building looks so wonderful.

I should warn you that we are not 343i. If you wish to contact them please headover to HaloWaypoint.com Also adding new content to Halo 2 would be extremely difficult. They had a hard enough time adding Forge to the revamped version of Halo 2A

sure thing just let us know your Bungie username

Ehhh can't really disagree most of that is true. Sucks because large scale battles in a Halo game would have been lovely but there is always a catch

Honestly a Halo MMO would work perfectly. If it was Planetside 2 esque. No quests or raids just straight up war and shoot other players in a constant PvP environment Of course a lot of changes would need to be done to make it as Halo as possible but theoretically it could work just fine. Planetside 2 is a great MMOFPS.

Welcome to the forums! Don't worry I was a newbie to forums back when I joined too, and now look at me. I'm part of staff! We are a very nice and friendly community you will be just fine. I highly encourage that you participate in some of the many events and activities constantly going on. If you ever have any questions never hesitate to ask. Have a fantastic time on the forums. Hope to see you around!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA. You thought it was bad enough that I was helping with the community poll, and now for the time being I will take over the news wrapup too!!! muahahahah my plan for forum domination is nearly complete!! In other gaming "news" Doc is returning to the forum. Gearbox the creators of the Borderlands franchise annouce their exciting new IP, Some nice fatherly memories are brought back, and Bungie reveals their plans for the future of your Destiny character beyond the first game. All this in the wrapup below! Gearbox reveals their new IP: Battleborn! Rather then going the safe route and developing a Borderlands 3 for Next Gen Consoles; Gearbox is mixing things up with a brand new IP. Battleborn a mix between Competitve FPS MOBA inspired Multiplayer, and Cooperative Campaign has you playing as a cast of characters all throughout the galaxy to fight for control for the last star producing light. Not much has been revealed and you can find more information in this months issue of GameInformer or at their website below. You can view a trailer down below Source: http://battleborn.com/ Are you looking forward to this new IP? Or do you no longer trust what Gearbox can do after Aliens Colonial Marines? Son discovers fathers "ghost" in racing game This isn't so much news but rather a really heartwarming story that means a lot to me as someone who played racing games with their dad nonstop in my childhood. A fellow gamer recently booted up his original xbox only to play a racing game him and his father used to play. During the game he found his fathers time trials ghost and raced to beat it. Eventually he actually beat it but rather then crossing the finish line he allowed his fathers ghost to pass him to further keep the memory of the fun times they used to have.

Bungie reveals that your Destiny character will carry over throughout the entire series Bungie's Destiny may be ambitious but recent revealed plans show that you will carry your Guardian with you throughout the entire course of the franchise's lifespan. Although with each new game every player will start on the same footing to give new players an equal chance to enjoy the game as much as us Veteran Guardians. This kind of dedication to keeping your character alive shows that Bungie really does care about post launch support for their game and I can't wait to see what adventures they take us on! Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/21/destiny-will-likely-have-sequels-and-your-character-will-carry-over Are you happy about this annoucement? Will you be keeping your guardian throughout the entire series? Thank you all so much for reading this weekly news wrapup! I hope it meets your expectations I am not very good with news. EK will be returning soon to make GOOD WNW, in the meantime wish him some luck recovering with his recent incident. View full article

I absolutely adore how this remake looks. The best one by far imo.

We are NOT 343i so we can't do anything to make this happen. If you wish to contact 343i please head over to HaloWaypoint However I do agree with your idea. It would be neat if 343i started making double XP a permanent thing for the rest of Reach's lifespan. Giving away free stuff for Reach however is extremely difficult. That would involve giving EVERYONE on Xbox Live free stuff because 343 needs to be fair and equal.

All the cutscenes are NOT in-game footage. They're pre-rendered CGI like Spartan Ops and are being done by Blur. The same studio that did the Halo Wars cutscenes.

I think we should take a week break or two. I wouldn't mind hosting the next one if you and JL can give me some pointers.

It really sucks to see so many members go. Have a good one Connor. You have improved a lot ever since you have joined. Hope to see you during playdates and events! Please stop by every now and then bae. Don't forget our Destiny wedding.

Really going to miss you! You were a great member it really sucks this had to happen. I enjoyed our time talking Drizzy_Doge
