All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Kudos and thanks to everyone at Bungie for all the amazing work through the last 10 years. Here's looking forward to the next 10.

Awesome stuff guys.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

The Hogs kinda look the same as they do now.

I can't imagine the last 10 years without Halo.
Thank you Bungie you've made the best games I've ever played.

Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, I'm fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests, and on hire

You guys been playing Gears 2 again?

=P

I knew that.

Great vid. Happy 10th, Bungie.

  • 07.22.2009 4:23 AM PDT

Wow, I never imagined this day.

Happy Halo Birthday!!!

I am one of the Halo fans since Halo CE and not those "Halo fans" who only have Halo 3. That makes this news even better =D

  • 07.22.2009 4:25 AM PDT

Happy 10th birthday Halo!

  • 07.22.2009 4:34 AM PDT

When you look back at those 10 years, you gotta think, "My God that Halo game was a good idea!"
You guys deserve lots of credit for keeping xbox going as well.

  • 07.22.2009 4:53 AM PDT

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Bungie, we are the ones who should be thanking you.

For your dedication to your games, dedication to your fans and community. NO other game developer has come close to what you fine folks at Bungie have created with Halo, and I'm pretty sure they don't have as many 'Die Hard' fans either. You've got me hooked for life!

My only regrets are not getting into this community sooner!

Thank you Bungie for the 10 years of GREATNESS and looking forward to the next 10! Keep it up

A well deserved 10th anniversary, CONGRATS.

Best day ever, I stayed up all night celebrating, seriously though, I haven't slept a wink sice I saw the video, and I spent quite a while at the promo site for Bioshock 2 trying to open that safe, how wonderfull.

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

Happy 10th.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

In the beginning...there was Louis Wu...and it was gooooood!

Halo single-handedly destroyed my GPA in undergrad. I used to host LANs for Halo CE every Wednesday night from 7pm till the wee hours of the morning. I had 9am classes on Thursdays. I missed quite a few of them. Of the ones I actually made it to, I was half-asleep dreaming of CTF on HEH or Sidewinder. I can remember meeting people whose real name I never knew and I only knew them by what they went by as their HCE moniker. I remember allowing total strangers into my house because they brought a copy of HCE to the door (it's better than 'open sesame'). I remember all-night runs on Legendary for the HCE campaign. I remember wanting to kick the ever living piss out of Guilty Spark and he'd mock me by saying "is that really necessary" after every rocket hit that damn glowing eye.

I remember joining up at B.net almost 6 years ago now. A friend of mine told me that the people who made Halo CE were doing some sort of crazy contest called I Love Bees. About some fake bee-keeping website that melted into something completely different. I joined B.net and started stalking Louis Wu at HBO astounded by how clever the people were who were unraveling the ILB clues. After ILB and the release of Halo 2, I started this moniker and I've been on B.net ever since.

Here's to the future Bungie but never forget the past.

Egads. A great chunk of my life just passed before my eyes. Signing on to Bungie 10 years ago and I remember meeting Blam! for the first time in the form of a in-office demo and being amazed by the antennae on the Warthog... Didn't even have a logo yet.

Double Cheers!

+ mehve


was it known as halo? how did that name come to be?

and who designed that awe inspiring logo?


It wasn't known as Halo until later. It's codename was -Blam! as you can read in the article. If I were to take an educated guess on how "Halo" came to be called "Halo", I'd suggest you'd ask her husband: Robt.

As for who designed the logo? She did (IIRC).

Getting to meet both Lorraine and Robt at PAX last year is probably the most star-struck I've ever been. My signed copy of HCE by Lorraine is safely locked away from prying eyes =)

Happy 10th guys, you have changed the way that FPS, and gaming in general will be played forever.

Thanks for everything, and here's to another decade
