Hey i just wanna say thanks to everyone at Bnet who worked on this new site, it's awesome. It was different at first, but now i love it. It's way easier to navigate, and the game stats effing pwn now. thanks, keep up the great work.

P.S. (today's my birthday! so, how about launching the beta?)

I love the new site, I really do.

I love the fact that everything is centered now, love the colors, love the kinda new H2 stats like all the games played, the kill/death ratio, love the stats, etc.

But what I really, really love are the Profile Backgrounds. It´s so cool to see some art of the Halo Graphic Novel there...

LIFE is for LIVING not Depressing!

Just like to say to ALL the Bungie Team ......Congradulations!!

I would suggest that more awards will be in the offering over time for this Beautiful revision of the BungieVers

It looks as though 2007 will be the year of the BUNGI!! and not the Pig! ha ha.!
This is a good thing cos it can only get better apparently.....

I do like the Bungie style, like the game's, love the community(except the DicHed's)!

I will have to purchase a 360 for the forthcoming release so as to contiue the experence that is "Halo"
As an older gamer(45+)and playing H2live(since the begining) I cannot find a game that compares to this, but then I am one eyed in this regard anyways .....

Well done and Bungie on Mates!

Amazing I love it!

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

its gonna take a while for me to get used to, im sure ill like it then. i cant use firefox to get here though, it gives me an error saying the page no longer exists or is temporarially down. bungie's site only works internet expleror for me. thats annoying. hopefully it will be fixed

This is exactly the kind of feel I hope for in halo 3: Not complex, low-res textures for everything (AKA Halo 2), but simple, high-res textures for all but the most important stuff (AKA halo 1). If that is the way halo 3 turns out, I can say I will have no complaints about the graphics.

Anyways, the new site looks cool, and the fact that there aren't all those bubbles hanging over the screen (like the original site) kicks ASS! Not to mention the idea that we will be seeing more content; =D

Don't know if this is the right place, but is Bungie aware of the "login" bug with Windows Live ID? It's not a big problem, I just have to clear my cookies, and sign in, but it sucks not to just be signed in automaticaly everythime I visit this site.

Great job on the new look!!!

I don't know about you guys, but i'm pretty much used to the site already, and i only first saw the new site today!

To me, thats telling of a really good design.

One point though. Where has the little help box that used to be on the right when posting messages gone? It was simple, and is clearly still needed as many people still have trouble making lazy links!

For the record - the previous nav wasn't flash, it was Javascript/CSS, just like the one we have now (only more complicated).

As for the validation - you'll find that this site nearly passes validation as XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I'm of the opinion that validation for the sake of validation is silly - it works, and we didn't need any browser specific style sheets to do it. The fact that it doesn't validate completely is not a huge deal when considered in that light.

What!? The site doesn't validate to XHTML1.1 Strict? Might as well delete it... Haha.

Seriously though, I agree with dv8withn8: This fresh face is way more usable (And accessible which is important too: Take a look at the pages without style sheets; the document structure remains very logical). I definitely prefer the new nav to the old. It is way easier to understand at first glance, and it looks sleek. Another development/design feature that deserves a nod is the use of AJAX (Or whatever those kooky "Web 2.0" people are calling it now days) techniques in the stats pages. It's so beautiful to see new content appear on part of the screen without having to wait for the whole page to refresh.

No browser specific style sheets? Ok, I believe you, but you had to use CSS hacks to make up for it, right? It has to be true, because you're accommodating for IE6. <resignation>Aren't we all?</resignation>

I really like the new look. I also like the new style for the profiles and when you look up your stats. There is so much more.......I like it! BUt, are you still able to do searches by clan name?? I couldn't figure out where/how to do it!

But other than that, the new layout looks really good. It looks a little more "upbeat."
