I think it's a more interactive user experience expansion of Bungie.net

But that's me.
I'm leaning towards something like that too. Could be the equivalent of Ubisoft's uPlay.

Get over yourself - drink vodka!

Feels like something to do with Bungie's super secret project (their next game).

Whisper Game Studios - shhhh, it's a public secret.

I still like the idea of it being something to do with a game engine like UDK.

Or maybe Bungie is actually branching out into aircraft design. If that is the case, if you guys are looking for any mechanical engineers with DoD experience (in arresting and launching aircraft from carriers) and an aircraft design experience, please give me a call.

This is definitely the most likely answer.

I received Recon on 7/7/09 for achieving one of the secret metrics. I believe it was for playing in the very first game though.

But for anyone with Recon you should check out the group We Are Reconnaissance. W.A.R. is a haven for people with the Recon permutation.

They are all secretly Aerospace Engineers.

Good find there. I wonder if that site will house Bungie's new IP info..

Or something along the lines of European Languages... mmmmm interesting.

"Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway." Goes for anything I say; anything I do, doubly so.

Need assistance with anything? Shoot me a PM. Duardo's FAQ on User Titles. | A word from 54.

Here's something interesting to munch on:

I ran some WHOIS queries and traceroutes on this new site versus the current bungie.com/bungie.net, and found some interesting discrepancies.

Bungie.net (as well as subdomains admin and seventhcolumn) along with bungie.com are tied to the single IP address 65.59.234.97. The traceroute ties these IPs to the Seattle area. All the bungie.com/net DNS servers are held by Bungie--i.e., ns.bungie.com, ns2.bungie.com, etc.

Downloads.bungie.net is tied to 97.74.27.18, which resolves to the domain secureserver.net, which in turn is tied to lightedge.com, a server hosting company. Makes sense, as this is probably a CDN of sorts. The traceroute goes to the Dallas area.

What boggles my mind is bungieaerospace.com (173.201.53.184) is tied to that same server farm (Lightedge). It's also worth noting that bungieaerospace.com is registered through GoDaddy, while all the other Bungie sites go through Network Solutions.
Both Downloads and Aerospace show their ISP as Godaddy, Inc. but all the others are on Level3. Aerospace's NS is a public server from Domaincontrol.com, leading me to believe Godaddy has the nameservers.

Probably just Bungie changing their ISP/server hosting after their breakup with MS, but my ARG-detection/other big thing radar is going off a bit.

EDIT: It just seems weird to me that something that's shaking out to be huge is not being hosted on Bungie's own servers, and isn't being controlled by Bungie's servers... perhaps that is evidence to this not being a huge deal after all.

Well, weren't/aren't the servers that currently run Bnet ran/run by Microsoft?

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Get WorkPLaced!!

It's things like this that make me think Bungie is actually taking over the world. It's obvious this is the site you will go to in order to become a recruit.

At that time you will be shot into space on an experimental slingshot straight into the sun. All in the name of science.

I wonder what this all means, really. It could be a number of different things, but a new game project seems at least semi-likely. Time for us to keep our eyes peeled.

Hmm, that would make sense. A new iconic game engine is plausible, IMO.

At first I thought of something along the lines of "Bungie West," but then I remember something about Jones loathing splitting up his team.

I do like Duardo's idea about something to go along with the website.

In the end I'm thinking of two main things:

1. Something to do with the new IP
2. An IRL software development.
