I thought Bungie was an LLC now, so what's this "publisher" that we're supposed to blame?

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

It's going to be okay Bungie. I totally forgive you, even though Microsoft owned you so hard, your body fell through the map.

Hello.

This isn't exactly how I wanted everything to turn out, but, I still think all of this was pretty cool. I had a lot of fun, and it was great to see the community come together to figure all of this out.

stop being so negative, there ARE those of us who are looking forward to the game. It is disappointing to hear that it is not a hoax, but I am still curious as to why your publisher pulled the plug so late considering many of us were expecting an announcement for weeks...

Same, I was hoping it was just a ruse to really surprise us when they did announce something. I hope we dont have to wait untill next E3.

>KaPING<

First and foremost i am a gamer. I love games and we are now in an amazing era of games. We all have our favorite games and companies, call us fanboys if you will (i mean hey, its now in the dictionary!) So when a top studio on your list of fan-ness (next years word. meaning: of or to be part of a list of ones favorites) hints at some info in this secrecy ridden industry, you perk up. Especially when there is a countdown, and a mystery. Who are you little face with plunger!? WHO ARE YOU!?

Speaking of whos....and whos ares of you.....

Who does microsoft think they are? Apparently nobody informed them that Bungie/Halo is the MAIN reason that xbox is anywhere on the map. Original xbox had an overall a rather lackluster software library compared to the PS2. But what sold them? Halo1.

Hey, lets look at Xbox live. Pay to play online? wtf! you can do that for free on PC. Who made this actually seem worth it while innovating the console online space? Halo 2. All the features they masterfully integrated into halo2 became STANDARD to the overpriced xbox live experience. (we are talking amazing features Sony still doesnt have down)

I love how one of the richest companies in the world has to swindle and haggle its way into other's business. If bungie wants free maps, let em give em out for free. Dont make them or everybody else suffer because you cant get people to spend crappy microsoft points on your inflated lil marketplace. All we have to do is listen to bungie's last podcast to get a minds eye into the workings of microsoft. Bungie must resort to bartering to get a map free out for the fans.

Point is, this microsoft bungie relationship is as pathetic as Disney trying to con Pixar over the whole 5 IPs vs. 5 movies debate. Pixar fueled disney ever since its first feature as has bungie to microsoft. So rather than praise and reward, they swindle and twist.

If bungie wants to announce/show something. They should be able to announce/show something.

Multiplatform? omgah big deal, go cry microsoft, maybe you should build up your library with titles you are confident enough in to compete with. Want to showcase other games more? Uh.....we do need something to play while we wait for bungies next game....wow us....

Then some dweeboid at microsoft, Don Mattrick, SPILLS THE BEANS THEY THEMSELVES CANCELED?

This whole situation is just extremely weird, awkward and frustrating. The only things that can satisfy this strange feeling of emptyness are (besides venting my frustration through this lame thread post)

1. Getting an answer as to WHY!?
or
2. Just getting the announcement.

Anyway, this is mainly a vent. For all we know there may actually be some legitimate reason for all this. Maybe microsoft found some legal department issue with somethin and they just couldnt show said product.

Either way, I do feel i have some valid points that microsoft should listen to, but whatever. They are probably too busy trying to fix Vista. ZIIIIIIIING! Maybe somebody should get at microsofts chops and tell them how to get stuff done.

If you read, thanks, maybe you agree, maybe you dont, but hopefully you were entertained.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished,....... this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing....... The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.......so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V

I hope you guys at Bungie aren't taking it too bad, it must suck to put in all that hard work and not have anything to show for it at the end. Watching the Halo 2 extra disc, you guys put in a lot of effort into debuting the single player level in Halo 2 (Yes i know it never made in the game the way it was, but watching the video; you guys spent a lot of time on that) I can only imagine how much time you spent getting ready to debut this new game.

However Microsoft isn't completely at fault. I don't want to sound like a Microsoft fanboy, but even without you guys revealing your game, they still did a better job at the conference than Sony and Nintendo did. I just hope theres no resentment here, cause i would really hate to lose the Bungie Xbox exclusive games. We already seen what one Big developer can do when they decide to go Multiplatform

However it appears as if you when guys do get the OK to announce your game, its going to be like fire (pure hotness) Till then, the FFXIII announcement should hold off most people.

P.S Long live Bungie

i didn't even realize bungie was releasing something else. but if this has multiplayer please don't make everthing quite as even as halo 3 cause its too easy for people to do good on halo 3. its fun to have to practice something to be good at it. i liked that halo 2 took a little more skill to compete

  • 07.16.2008 9:25 PM PDT

I can not has recon, as well as you, and all of your friends.

although bungie can has recon.

Don Mattrick is a poopy, and he said that bungie is releasing a new game :O

  • 07.16.2008 9:26 PM PDT

I really don't think that there are games better than Halo... But some other people use to tell me "Think Different! () "... I thought differently for a long long time ... and i finally figured out that there isn't anything better than Halo! But there will be... Halo 3!

Man, i was so exited... :(
Its alright... I'm sure Microsoft didn't leave you any choice, just can't wait to know what its gonna be!

  • 07.16.2008 9:37 PM PDT

Any chance we'll get the announcement soon?

That really, really sucks

But we still love you, Bungie

as a friend of mine, Dan Lister 360, said yesterday,
"Bungie: Great Video Games, But Even Better Head Games"


True that.

Don't lose heart, you did what you had to do. And it took a whole lot of bullocks to man up about it and give it to us straight. For that you have my respect.

And maybe this just means that your big reveal will be in time for PAX! That would be awesome because I would actually be there as opposed to E3.

Long live Bungie, Long live the 7th Column,

This made me lose so much faith in ARG's and it sucks.

So much for Microsoft wanting to be for 'everyone'. Way to punch the gamers who use to be your core market in the face with your almighty fist of bull-blam!-.


i agree that they just squeezed lemons on their core markets wounds

btw im acually gonna get a ps3 because micro$oft is soo freaking greedy and screwing the people who helped thier company get to where it is!

I know I'm just grinding the dirt further in the wound, but the Bungie logo at the top of the page still flickers every 49 seconds. You guys should probably take it off to ease possible superstitions...or leave it up to serve as a monument to the Super Intendant.

  • 07.16.2008 10:06 PM PDT

Always keeping it clean

i agree rember how sh*itty halo looked at E3?

take your time and well all be ready for it better to realese a good showing than a half ast 1 i was lookin forward to it but i love u guys still keep up the stellar work

u guys r the only company who can pull a annoucement and still get this much fan support

i actually have tears in my eyes on how proud i am of being a 7th colum meber a halo fan a bungie fan boy, a 360 owner and how there hasnt been this huge ultra nerdy fan boy back lash

for all my fellow 7th colum members i am very proud all u who bash stay away from the greastest game dev in the world site
