... are you some sort of troll?
1) It's bungie.NET
2) No, you don't need to log in to view, only to post.
3) WLID makes me angry.
4) Bungie is still heavily tied to Microsoft and have stated that they 'love' the Xbox360 as a platform.

Sorry I was pissed I kept runing into a brick wall with the WLID thing. I think it was down.

I hope Bungie keeps making games for the XBOX360. I hope they license the engine for Halo to other developers.

Bungie.com goes to the same place. ;-) It's just referred to more commonly as Bungie.net because .net used to be the community site, whilst .com was for the company side of things, I believe.
they 'love' the Xbox360 as a platform.Best. Console. EVER.

And, yeah, WLID can be annoying (usually at the most frustrating times).

Apparently I did this time. Nothing is as smoothless as a Windows interface or log in choices.

So when is Bungie making exclusive games for Apple?

Respect in this game has, unfortunately, been tea bagged after being no-scoped by an invisible guy from across the map - LittlePikle

at least make the site iphone friendly. i have no problems logging into windows live on my mac @ home, but i can not log in with my iphone. how about a mobile phone version of the site?

You should never have to log in to view the forums, unless it has changed very recently, which I doubt, since even blacklisted members are supposed to be allowed to view the forums (I don't know if that ever got fixed).

I could be wrong, and it may have changed, but I spent the better part of a year viewing B.net without even signing up, and I come on here all the time with out logging in.

Not since the last update. Try the site with Firefox. It is an endless loop of Windows ID failure. Microsofties attempt to make us all use IE. Screw that. You have to manually sign in to view the site now.

Did you here about all the permtemps at Microsoft making $25/h? They are the coders of Vista (well, at least the ones not on H1B). They are currently all being outsourced to India. Lets see. I can manage a Starbucks for 50k a year. You can work at one for 40k a year. Hmmm... Lets do some C++ coding for 50k a year shall we. College was only 50k. Unbelievable. Do not become a programmer/engineer/scientist. Become a blood sucking lawyer.

Uh, no. The site is quite compatible with Firefox 2. Any Windows Live ID failure is the result of a corrupt login cookie, and can be easily fixed by clearing all bungie.net cookies. You don't have to log in to view the site, only to use personalized features. If you're having trouble, email bnetbugs@bungie.com for website support.

I'd appreciate you not trolling here. We're not part of Microsoft, and even if we still were, we don't try and shoehorn you into any particular web browser. That's just dumb. Finally, if you are going to troll about Microsoft, at least get it right. Most of Microsoft's development is done in Redmond, not in India. They don't really outsource all that much, because it doesn't work all that well oftentimes.

The simple fact that the site runs BETTER on IE7 doesnt mean you can't use other browsers. I use FF2. It's all in the javascript (apparently, this is what achronos has said methinks). FF2 doesnt do Javascript as well as IE7, so bungie.net works better with IE7.

Funny how I have to keep clearing my cookies since the last update for Windows ID failures. Corrupt cookie? Hmmm.. How do cookies get corrupted? I don't change them, my drive is fine, TCP/IP seams to work for everything else. Hmmm.. Maybe the Microsofty site puts data it doesn't understand in it? Maybe this is a bug? Perish the thought.

Microsofty owns Bungie. That is a fact. Your leash may be extended a bit. But, they still have full control. Now no knows how much ownership you got back but it is known that Microsofty has first right to publish. Outsourcing, that is why Bill Gates wants more slaves (cough H1Bs). But the San Francisco Chronicle ran a story about the $25/h permatemps getting outsourced whenever possible.

Come on. You must have walked the ailses at Microsofty. You know what I am talking about. You can smell it. Try walking around a law firm sometime. What a difference. You even get offices. Doctors are next by the way. I think lawyers will be the only profession left as the majority in Congress are lawyers. Microsofty was the initial lobbyist for this slavery. Jack Abramoff is a lawyer. But, he probably would sell out his own profession and mother/grandmother. I believe he is in prison now isn't he? Microsofty has 4327 H1Bs directly employed. I am sure another 10k are with contracting companies.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Newsflash: Microsoft doesn't own Bungie. We are an independent LLC. They don't have control here. While we do have a publishing agreement with them, that's much different that them owning the studio. You saying otherwise doesn't make anything fact other than proving the massive amount of ignorance you have. The gap between what you know and what I know both about Microsoft and Bungie is extreme, and you don't come out the winner there.

As for the Windows Live ID thing - the corruption can occur when you hit "save my password." We're trying to figure out why it happens, but the workaround I gave you is valid. Obviously it is a bug - why would it not be? I never said it wasn't. Furthermore, "Save my password" is a gigantic security risk, and you shouldn't be using it if you value your account at all.

There are no permatemps at Microsoft - all contractors go on enforced 3 months breaks every 9 months. I don't really know what the heck you're getting at with the rest of your diatribe. You sound like some insane person the way you ramble on.

But whatever. The fact that you mention Bill Gates by name already shows your just another slashdot type troll. Gates is not involved in day to day stuff at MS and hasn't been for some time.

Continue to post offtopic crap like this and you will be banned. We were talking about a legitmate issue with Bungie.net functionality, not your anti-Microsoft scare tactics.

Bill Gates testified before Congress. I didn't say he ran the company. He made himself very public. All the info I gave was factual. Look it up yourself. Legally they are not permatemps because they have to take breaks now. But, they still are. It is funny. I would make more as a contractor and have to take breaks because of the Microsofty permatemps lawsuit.

So Microsofty, or a corp that Microsofty owns has 0 ownership of Bungie? 0 percent? Independant LLC as in no Microsofty billionaires are members? As in the Devs now have full legal ownership of the company? They didn't loan you money did they? If that is true then you must have given up quite a lot. Either that or they got you by the publishing contract. I can't believe they don't have you by that contract. Microsofty isn't a stupid corp. Unless of course you are fully funding all project development yourselves. Then they may allow you to slink or swim. Lets see do you have 20 million in capital? That would be quite a risk, even for Bungie.

If you only work for Bungie (without any substantial ownership), I would go to law school as quickly as possible. You will hit 45 or so soon enough and then it will be too late, unless you already put a few million away. Either that or get an MBA, or both. Techies are looked at as lower lifeforms by all of corporate America. Even being a former techie (only because it paid too much) is bad for business. Also learn to sail.

Stop it, Dicen.

When Achronos says "clearing all Bungie.net cookies", he doesn' t mean these.

Seriously. Achronos knows best.

[/Achronos-induced brain-washed zombie-like state of mind]

Bungie.net works fine for me, 99.7% of the time. It always keeps me logged in (I chose to remember e-mail and password), except for a few (rare) times when I open a page in a new window. I'm using IE6.

There's only one lower lifeform in this thread, and that's of the troll variety. Stop talking about lawyers and law school, as it is only making your blatant ignorance seem even more overblown. And to be honest, it's making me pretty angry that you're managing to insult so many different professions in a few poorly written ranting paragraphs.

Please just stop -- this is not the Halo 3 forum and nobody respects your tone, despite the delicious irony of many of things that you have posted. Actually, by now, I am sorry that I responded to you at all, but I'm going to hit the submit button anyway.
