Subject: Interview for someone Bungie?

hey guys
um i have to do some research project for school
and i decided to research Bungie!
but now there's this part in the whole project where i have to interview one or more people who know a lot about the topic.
so.. if any of you can help, that'd be great. absolutely wonderful in fact.
thanks

1. How was Bungie started?

2. What is life at Bungie like?

3. How long did it take to make halo 3?

4. On average how much do Bungie employees make?

5. Why is Bungie somewhat secretive about their location/exterior of building?


btw if some of you have negative comments then please dont bother posting.
just ignore this

This should help =D. How long did it take to create Halo 3? Let's just assume give or take a few months after Halo 2 shipped. You don't need to be more accurate than that, do you?

xD, I'm actually really good friends with one (now former) Bungie employee =] Meowmix <3

Uhh... no. I was hoping I wouldn't have to spoon-feed =P After any game ships, most companies have a little grace period where they not only take a break, and spend full-time working on content for said released, which usually lasts a few months. Then they begin packing, and start working on a new game (and still pump out content for said game).

It's safe to assume work began on Halo 3 a few months after Halo 2 shipped.

That's all I got.

@Big Black Bear: Dunno. Prolly when the site updated. I check there every once in a while, and never saw any "Halo 3" section until recently.

*bears hugs*

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

Competative salaries means what it says: good for the industry. I, since I'm not in the industry, have no idea wahta good salary is. Also, they aren't secretive about where their HQ is: Kirkland, WA.

  • 02.15.2008 9:26 AM PDT

well they tell u the city
but not the address
also, the outside of their building is all gray concrete.
so as not to attract attention
but my question is why?

Well, I can't personally find the address right now, but that's somewhat immaterial. I think you have somewhat unrealistic expectations for Bungie Studios. Their building is drab because almost every office building in existence is drab.

Also, they tend to keep a low profile, smply because they don't want to have to turn back hundreds of unauthorised visitors to the studios. Same with Rockstar North in Edinburgh. They have a drab office building: stops peole camping outside looking for GTA IV.

5. Why is Bungie somewhat secretive about their location/exterior of building?
Probably so people won't come and harass the studio.

That's why they have the Gate Keeper, with his mighty Gravity Hammer.

Just because the hobo drives a Ferarri to and from the city park does not mean he is no longer living in the city park.
