How about a Halo franchise forum?

CodenameV · 10-21-2009, 11:18 AM

I mean, Halo boasts one of the most fleshed-out storylines of all time, not just the best out of any shooter. It has a well-received book series, and there's going to be 6 games soon enough. So, I think that there's enough to say about Halo in general for it to warrant it's own forum.

The story's pretty good, but it's not like revolutionary.

I could never get into Halo and it's story. I dunno, I just found it a bit... dull tbh.

Then again, my taste in FPS' is pretty limited to Quake, Doom, Half-life, TF2 and Unreal Tornument.

that didn't turn out too well

Well, besides Halo, not many shooters even /have/ a storyline. It's just USE GUN KILL T3H DOODZ.

Another forum for people to not post in. Sounds awesome.

I think the Xbox forum could quite adequately cover any Halo-related topics needed to be made. Unless you expanded from a "Halo forum" to maybe a "FPS forum"... and even then, I'm pretty sure we used to have one of those, and it was closed due to inactivity.

For now, just the Xbox forum would work, don't you think?

Vgfian · 10-21-2009, 02:27 PM

It seems like anything involving Halo would be able to be heald in the Xbox forum, unless you would like to get picky about it and put the book discussions in the Art, Literature, Writing forum.

I do think the story is pretty good though, and quite fleshed out, especially for a franchise based off of the shooter genre, but yeah, the given forums would work well enough.

But then again, you have to look at other individual series getting their own forums here as well.

But even then you'd have to see how franchises like Mario and Zelda are incredibly widespread and diverse.

So yeah, I don't know.

Especially since Halo is the only reason anybody even owns a damn Xbox anyway.

Vgfian · 10-21-2009, 05:05 PM

^*Points at KOTOR, GoW, superior versions of CoD, and many others*...

Metal Man · 10-21-2009, 06:09 PM

I bought it for Sonic Unleashed.

Now I chuckle as your mind explodes.

Metal Mario · 10-21-2009, 06:36 PM

I can't imagine anyone buying a Genesis for a Sonic game, much less an Xbox.

lol, you've clearly never played dead rising then

Robotazy · 10-22-2009, 02:48 AM

Like people would buy a Wii for an unknown sports title-

oh wait.

Also, Gears of War, Halo ODST, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Viva Pinata, Banjo-Kazooie Racing Game, a superior Achievment System. I could go on.

Pretty sure you've never even picked up a controller on anything other than a Nintendo system, so you can stop talking.
