Egypt you will be truly missed why you are gone. Have a good Holiday and remember to keeps our thanks for all of your hard work with you.

Hey Egypt.....about time don't you think?

This is a statement made by Fox News a few hours ago: SOPA was proposed to help end online copyright infringement, an issue the Motion Picture Association of America and the recording industry have long complained about. The House on Friday continued to debate the bill, which would require service providers to take action against "foreign infringing websites" that post stolen content. Cerf argued that it would put harsh demands on most websites -- and could lead to massive Internet censorship. Read more: http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz1giroDTQ1

Welcome to the forums Carter, hope you enjoy your stay!

I always felt it was a fail for Bungie to offer so much for recording in theater mode and screen shots, then offer so little factory storage space. We pay a good price for the subscription to XBL, the game console and the game, then they offer a minimal storage space as a stock item. Hopefully this will be a consideration by 343ind. to possibly add more factory space in the future. 343ind. should honor any contract of a franchise the have taken control of the rights to, it is part of the package in my opinion.

I don't know FIREN4, I played some Halo 3 MM last night a had a friggin' blast. You should join us some time. We roll!

That's only because when I drop my Schweatie Bag in...... The member above me has proven himself to be a worthy Community Events manager! The member below me can only manage a 0.10 K/D spread on their best day! lol

Yeah it's your butt! lol Too funny Choot'em!

I have done a quick search of the web and have seen no actual voting results. There was, as 9:45 pm last night, this post from Wired.com. There is no other current information on the web that I can find as of this post that indicates a vote was taken. Post any LEGITIMATE source that you have as they become available. Thank you. This is from Politico as of 4:30 pm yesterday. This is from CBS News Tech as of 8:30 pm last night. This is from Gameranx as of 1 hour ago. The following link is given to Congressman Lamar Smith site. He is from the 21st DIstrict of Texas and note the "Managers Amendment" near the bottom of the page. I attempted a link to the managers amendment and it would not work! You will have to select it for yourself. I also attempted a copy and paste which also failed. So I have taken screen shots of the H.R. 3261 Managers Amendment Summary.

How is this relative? Edit: 10:20 am I apologize to the OP. I miss understood the context, I thought it was a reference to the trailer. My apologies.

Hey flyingson even though we are not 343ind, we are a fan forum, I do agree and would expect that there would be a return to the physics the Master Chief had in Halo 2 and Halo 3. There will be, if 343ind. stays true to their word, a return to what made Halo, to the core of the game. Frank O'Conner himself has said on numerous occasions that Halo 4 will feel like the Halos that preceded it. Bloom has been part of the games in varying degrees since the beginning, so I don't see that it would be completely removed.

I forge and would be willing to take a look at your map.

Welcome to the forums spartan 416 hope you enjoy the stay.....and always use a coaster under your drink please. Twam hates sweat rings on the tables.

That is very magnanimous of you. Thanks on behalf of all members!

Yes....in an alternate reality! lol

You must be a fan of "fuzzy math". You state some 90,000 on Reach.......ummm out of the nearly 9,000,000 (that's nine million) players the bought the game only equals 0.01%. Those have roughly been the numbers for a long time. A 'majority of the population" has left the series, it would appear, because of Reach. The Halo population, fans or however you want to refer to them made their statement about Reach by not playing it, that was their vote. Just because the "current" numbers in the forums favor Reach, simply because these are mostly the fans of Reach, bears no actual relationship to how all fans really feel in spoken words. When a member of this, or any forum, makes statement about a love of prior games, wanting the "old feeling" back, previous ranking or weapons use or make any reference to the past games it does not mean we want to live in the past. It just means we want a game that resembles the qualities of what millions of us have fallen in love with while continuing to advance the experience. I respect the fact that people truly enjoy Reach, even if it is only 0.01% of the people that bought it. Remember also, that of that 0.01% there are those like me who still play it on occasion with the friends they have had since Halo 2 and Halo 3 days and enjoy the fellowship of those friends even while playing a game we really don't like. The future of the series is dependent on one of two things in my opinion. 343ind. has to either find a way to get the majority of the fan base back playing by offering a game that they can enjoy initially, and long term, with a quality campaign and a distinctive MM while appealing to new players of the game or they have have to find a new fan base that would include those who would play the game simply because it has a Halo logo on the box. Every single note worthy statement I have read indicates that they are attempting the first thought of getting back to Halo's roots. They will be exploring more of the Chief's personal feelings in campaign and the traits that make him what he is. They will be offering new MM experiences while still offering the previous feel for the game. They want a success, they want to make a game the fans can truly enjoy for a long time, they want us to be happy. I trust their efforts with blind faith based on the comments they have made. I trust the series in their hands.

It's cool, I walked into the ladies room here by mistake when I was new. "Welcome to the forum!".

Well.....we have our moments. lol I think you will find you will like it here. We a really friendly, a family if you will, and the fact is........343i looks at all the forums related to Halo. They have our hopes and dreams in their hands and I think they will give us something we can enjoy right off the bat as well as play for a long time and truly enjoy. They are devoting a lot of resources into doing just that and they want a winner, want us to enjoy what they are doing for us. They are fans themselves. By the way....."Welcome to the forums!".

You are always welcome here.

No.

No....but I did stay a Holiday Inn last night!
