Support NeoGAF

[Gareth Bale]

Man, remember when Activision tacked $10 onto Modern Warfare 2's price point, just to do it? That was so sweet.

This is exactly the kind of decision that Bungie won't get to make, along with many others. And some people are oblivious to that.

 

[The Librarian]

Seriously everything Activision has touched has ended badly. History is against Bungie on this one.

I know, but I prefer to remain hopeful.

 

[EazyB]

Set up a stream Ghaleon. Want to see you dong on some nubs.

 

[-PXG-]

Guys, REACH will still be amazing and whatever comes next from Bungie will still be amazing. Quit crying.

This

I'm pumped for Reach. Can't wait. But after that, I'm done. Sorry Bungie, I'm not giving Activision my money. Period.

Anyway, we already have a meltdown thread. Let's talk about how awesome the beta's gonna be

I just read in a recent scientific magazine that element 117 has been created. It is apparently the "longest-lived super-heavy element". I thought that was a funny coincidence.

Doing this per web and it looks like my 360 will be back in time (on monday), yay! Hm, no EUROHALOGAFBETA?

It is apparently the "most kick-ass, galaxy saving beast". I thought that was a funny coincidence.

Fixed.

Should be a good mix of Euro/US/World GAFers on both lists.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I want to believe that Bungie knows what they are doing, and they probably do, but I have this feeling that something is gonna happen down the line that they weren't expecting. I hope not.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Fixed.

I didn't know it accomplished that much in its 43 milliseconds of existence.

 

[Domino Theory]

I need this beta to take my mind off of this announcement. :/

Tell me about it dude. This spells nothing but trouble for the future.

Awaiting Activision upping the price of their new IP by $10 because "they can" and $20 Map Packs.

And people had the audacity to think Microsoft was a bad publisher?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Why didn't anyone tell me Gamespy's contest was haiku composition?

Finally, something I can win!

Is EuroGAF gonna cause America

GAF lag problems? Best not.

They are using Activision to get to Blizzard. Soon it will be BungieBlizzard and the Halo MMO will be reborn!!!

You know how amazing a Bungie/Blizzard would be?

 

[Slightly Live]

High-Five

 

[Dirtbag]

Just to clarify I was referring to IW, not Bungie. Bungie will be okay, I know that much.

I'm not sure what your point is, are you equating Activision's previous actions to MS's $150 profit-boxes?
Activision are the worst publisher when it comes to selfish, money grabbing stupidity in the eyes of the hardcore right now.
The $150 boxes don't compare. At all..

That's absolutely what I'm saying, and yes they both compare.
Money is what everything boils down to, and as a consumer you vote on what is/isn't acceptable.
It's no different in my mind and both have long term effects on "the industry"

 

[Blueblur1]

How's the download speed, guys?*

*Assuming Ghaleon's post meant that he got his golden ticket.

What? Like they don't get paid? But that would be illegal, so why would anyone think that?

 

[derFeef]

Perfect, unskilled AND gimped.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Not to sure about this Activision thing...

I used to love Blizzard, until they became Activision Blizzard.

 

[feel]

WTF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horrible news.

Activision??? Bungie WTF... They're the absolute worst most evil thing about gaming, WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I hate them so fuckin much... man what a disapointment, I can't believe this shit... wow, fuck all this

 

[Shake Appeal]

I just wrote six haikus in fifteen minutes.

Edit: one of them was about the latest news.

The whispers are fierce:
"Bungie and Activision!"
Somewhere Kotick smiles.

 

[Butane123]

Man I am sucking today.

 

[Gareth Bale]

=(

Spoiler

Jammy American sods!

They act like they invented the damn thing.

Surely this is more american bro.

 

[Sai]

Activision brought Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram to the States, so they're alright in my book.

 

[Dirtbag]

How's Bungie going to achieve world domination under a publisher that fires people instead of paying contractual bonuses?

That's probably where they started their conversation:
"So I hear you are hell-bent on world domination?"
"No shit, us to.... let's fuck!"

Seriously guys its a business.

[Oozer3993]

I'm sorry guys, I may have cause this. This was my entry to a F&F contest a couple days ago:

I need the Halo Reach beta early because me getting it early is the only thing standing between Bungie and a hostile takeover by a Gravity Hammer wielding Bobby Kotick.

I think this means I lost their contest

 

[derFeef]

I smell nepotism!

Spoiler

Have fun guys, will watch later

Holy heck at Tashi's download speed.

 

[LunaticPuma]

Today is the day that it saddens me to not be part of the inner HaloGAF club. At least I'll be able to read impression while I get actual real-world work done this weekend.I also found out that I have to travel for work and will be out of town 4 nights of the Beta which makes me even more sad that Invasion and Generator Defense are being put up so late.
