Do you think HaloCE is a bad name for the new version of Halo?

Yea, it can easily be mistaken for Combat Evolved.

I think HaloCE is a bad name for the new Gearbox release of Halo because it is easily confused with Halo: Combat Evolved. Perhaps something along the lines of Gearbox Edition would have been better, even though that would be acting like a bit of a shameless self-promoter, at least its less confusing to those people who are relatively new to the Halo community.

Just my two cents,

It may be, but everyone says HCE for Custom Edition, and Halo for classic Halo.
Or HPC, HXB.

yea i know but im just saying that its annoying when newbs think that when we say CE we mean combat evolved instead of custom edition, thats all...its not worth changing now but i just think a tad bit more thinking could have been done on gearbox's part

But most of the Halo newbies (not n00bs, those are different) don't know or don't care that Halo has a subtitle. Speaking of the name, does anyone know what "A Code: Blam the Volvo" is an anagram for?
