Shrink 'Jobs' and widen 'News'.
Otherwise perfect.

Anyways, it's gonna be hell getting into a new clicking routine. I can bring up the forums before the page fully loads. God knows how long it is until I will stop clicking "Bungie Store."

You didnt necessarily have to focus on the dark blue/black aspect of it, i was hoping for something more of the logo shown at the start of Halo 2, which was on a bright white background with light blue edging. However, white websites, if not done properly, look far, far worse than black/blue ones do, so it was probably a safer bet to go with the black/blue. Though, as black/blue sites go, it is very damned good, at least we're finally shot of all the curves and frames and tetures this current theme uses. Crisp, straight lines and solid colours = ♥.

This just in - Bungie, a studio who has a logo that is darker (blue, mostly), has a darker website!!!!

Yeah, I think you're screwed, elmicker. But at least the group themes will probably have a few lighter ones.

And you'll like the forum... although we did something a little different with the profile block. I think it is an improvement, anyway.

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program

SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

Yeah, that looks... okay...

By okay I of course mean- NEW HAWTNESS RAWKS MY SAWKS OFF!!!!

Props are due to all who worked on it (unless Stosh helped, he looses his props because he hurts the environment by keeping his computer on all night), I can't wait to use it.

I like elmicker's theory on when it'll come, but it's up to him whether or not he says it publicly.

Controlling fission events without incident since May, 2012.

*blathers incessantly after seeing the new Hawtness*

I like it, although I'm left wondering what the rest of the site will look like.

I like to Rollick

Looks nice, I like the colors and the layout.

But is it a coincidence that the release of the new hawtness V2 (couple of weeks) may coincide with the release of the beta (Spring) , or are they going to be related?

  • 03.11.2007 8:36 AM PDT

I logged into Bungie.net and all I got was this lame member rank.

I think it's 100 times better than the current look. The new new Hawtness is definitely hawt.

  • 03.11.2007 9:03 AM PDT

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

As Borat say: "Very nice!"

Who knows?

It might be related to these dates in history.

* 4/12/2004 : Bungie.Net Launch
(and there was much rejoicing)

* 4/15/2004 : The Bungie Webmaster returns from his "pee-break".
(and there was much consternation)

* 4/15/2004 : I joined the Bungie.Net community.
(no relation to the above events, but it is interesting, at least to me)

Does this mean a mid-April rollout? Or perhaps this will all occur on the first of April? Hmmmmm.

April 1st. The new name for the site should be named after Pimps at sea.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I love it! I do agree with people who have been questioning the need to give the "jobs" section so much prominence.... especially considering how infrequently that portion of the site changes and how much of bungie.net is Community-focused. But I don't mind it a bit.

It's looks freakin' awesome!!!!

By the way, has anyone not thought that the thingy at the top is the NEW navigation bar (currently at the bottom of THIS version of the site).

Then again, I could be totally wrong... *sighs*

I think I'll get used to it. I may like it from the start, even. Just depends. Using a website(much like playing a videogame) and seein a screenshot, are two very different things.

I, personally, think it looks great. Way better than the current homepage. I wish they'd give us a pic of the forums though.

Me too.

I hope they add something that helps users add the text markup tags more easily insted of the whole confusion with the current copy and paste scheme.

This new layout really turns me on.

I love it. :D This should be amazing...

What? Silly?

I was not joking.

Turns me on. It's that sexy. Hawt, one could say. You could almost call it something clever, like.. The New Hawtness.

I hope so.. I figure that would be a goal. Achronos and the web team know how popular Firefox is..
