What the monkeys uncle? Why would that be? Halo has had a "forge world" mentioned several times in novels and such in regards to the fore runners....

Besides any law suit between bungie & FW/GW would go in Bungies favor....Look at all the Tau stuff that are VERY similar to Halo vehicles & weapons, not to mention some of the Tau logos! Geesh!

Fail thread.

Sorry, lol.

Though its not your fault i suppose, it is GW that instilled the minds that we, the customers, should care much about IP and such hah.

Even though we shouldn't - its not our responsibility and there is no violation here.

You know that Halo and the Tau were both released at the end of 2001 right? So unless GW has some really impressive spies, or sculptors that work VERY fast...

The Tau logos are actually very similar (but doubtfully infringing) on the Marathon logo, which is the quasi-prequel to Halo from... 1994.

It's internal map-creation-tool was, in fact, called Forge and was released publicly with Marathon Infinity in 1996.

I still haven't gotten my law degree in intellectual property yet, nor am I working on it, so I'm mostly staying out of this, though.

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy.

Sharing a name doesn't automatically make something an infringing copy.

Neither news nor rumours here. Moving on.
