If your looking for an active clan who doesn't talk "trash", allow cheating at all, and has a good community then check out our site.

Clan O7AH

Ok I may have... yeah... I pooped a little.

The overall look of the site is just amazing and fluent. I love the personalization aspect. Its great how I can see my avatar as a peruse all over the site. I love the other nice small touches like being able to see who I have blocked from sending me messages as well as having the 360 gamercard on the stats page I also like how the main stories are going to be done from now on. The larger image helps to communicate the added importance that usually comes out of those sections. Plus any excuse you guys can make to get your art guys to create beautiful assets for us to gawk at is fine with this member of the underground army.... *cough* ... I mean Halo Nation. The added features to the stats are just plain sexy. My nerd meter is going nuts over all of it. I hope that the various community stat sites (halo.junk and Query Spree) can take advantage of these amazing new features.

I think you guys have done a really good job with keeping the Bungie roots intact each time you rehash the site. It is important to remember Soffish, Ling Ling, The Disembodied Soul, and of course the all powerful Webmaster in all his glory with his cowboy hat. All those elements are still here. You come upon them by surprise but they are still here tucked away silently paying tribute to years of Bungie lore. This new site continues to pay homage to the marriage of Bungie's mainstream success to its community driven roots. Its just nice to know that the great group of people we have been dedicated to over the years are still committed to making great games for their community and not for the "fame".

Now not everything can be good because there is always room for improvement. So I have a couple thoughts in that regard.

1. I don't have the ability to adjust the text size by either holding control and rolling my mouse wheel or by just going to the menu and increasing it.

2. I am curious as to why the discuss this story link is at the beginning of the story as apposed to the end? Do you want us to comment first and then read?

3. When posting it would be nice to still have the little cheat sheet for the text markup of Bolding, Italicizing, Underlining etcetera. Some people don't necessarily know how to do that stuff.

4. On the community link page most of those images need to be cleaned up. As of now it doesn't really communicate your dedication to the vast community that you guys have spawned.

At first glance that is about all that I have noticed. I think that this iteration of Bungie.net will usher in a new era of community driven gaming the like of which the Halo Nation has never seen. Great work web monkeys!!

I like. The new do is real easy to navigate and find stuff, even with the search dis-abled.

I am interested to know whether or not we will get a new message icon (in addition to the link envelope), or do we have to check it manually every time we log in?

Absolutely stunning new look for Bungie.net. Although i've come across something that may or may not have been intentional. And that is that the Game Viewer still looks like the old Bungie.net, minus the background colour. Screenshot.
Should I clear my Browsers Cache or something first? Or is this supposed to be there?

Fix the weird half arrow buttons for going to the next page.

Also, fix the stupid friends online list pop up, it is pretty terrible as far as functionality goes.

But overall, a good clean design. Me gusta mucho.

Omg, I love the new B.net. I will quote myself on this, "I think I just orgasmed". Nonetheless. Wow. Except the group part of it, that I am kinda disappointed in, but I can see why you guys did it like that. I am amazed, in the work that you guys have done, Wow. I love it....
I will be happy now, going to school today....:)

Edit: I swear, this makes me really happy. :)

I swear to god, that I orgasmed too....-_-

The site looks fricken awesome, fer sure. Any particular reason why "hit stats" were removed? Hit % is the only good skill I have! :)

Too damn sexy.. It's really refreshing and looks more professional than the other one..


Once again Bungie, you've outdone yourselves.

Love the changes!!! Took me a few to find the weekly update though. Also on the main page, the top stories on the main pages should scroll though every few seconds (would be nice anyway).
