My immediate thought was because Bungie is breaking up with Microsoft, that would be there new Website but then it accord to me that this is Bungie's website not Microsoft's.

I may be completely wrong about every thing I just said i have no evidence behind it, just sharing my initial thought process.
Bungie has already split from Microsoft.

Yeah... a few years ago. Aren't we almost on three years now? Or is it two? I think it's two.

They split in July 2007, so almost three years.

I hope it is a new site, just waiting for us all to join up in our 1000s.

Well there we go, I was miss informed.

Thought about it a little bit, Bungie.net may become more halo orientated and Bungieaerospace.com could be the new main site for the Bungie/Activision partnership.

Forever Forgers

Live and let live.

I hope bungie aerospace is for making the store global and im convinced that grognok is either an ARG or a mod tool. Halo 3 PC *blink blink*

Edit: Perhaps Grognok is an anagram.

I see you

I hate Rupert Murdoch. This may permeate into my posts occasionally

Given the term "Aerospace", developing sofware and engines for new games seems the most likely. Before hand, it could have proved for too costly to make this idea viable, but now with Activision's help, they could. One Aerospace link could be made with the BAE, or British Aerospace, that develops technology and hardware (Submarines and the lark) for various states around the world. Could Bungie become the first BAE Systems of the gaming world?

Comparing NASA's motto with the new BA motto and noting the similarities, could a tenuous link be made?

EDIT: Also, a new game seems highly unlikely, if the website predominantly has the name BUNGIE in big orange letters next to it. You don't have Infinity ward Call of Duty or Lionhead Fable.
Though of course, this could very well change

Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

June, 2011: Bungie, in a surprising move, test fires their new MythII class heavy bus rocket at Baikonur, Kazakhstan.


No but really, I this is more interesting than that time they found Arete Seven. I will be following this.

The corporate heads at Bungie must love messing with you lot.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

If it's a new IP, will they implement the title system into it? And also, can someone translate the Latin in the title? Seems like it's related to their new game (Which we haven't heard of yet. xD)

I checked it, nothing.

And to the guy that was wondering what the Latin translation was, people have posted the translation a few times, just look through the thread.

"There's daggers in men's smiles." - Donalbain, Macbeth, Act II, scene iii

This is going out on a limb, but a perfectly logical purpose for the 'Bungie Aerospace' website, as well as the Activision deal and all the other stuff, is that they're starting up a MMO.

Before you're like "ZOMG THAZ NOT POSSIBLE", hear me out: Bungie signed on with Activision. Now, if they were planning to stick to their Xbox roots, they obviously would not have made that deal. They now have access to multiple gaming platforms.

Now, why would they make a completely different website for Aerospace? They could have just put it in it's own little section of Bungie.net, right? That would seem logical, unless they were planning for something big. Blizzard had to create a completely new website for WoW - the simple reason for this, is because of the traffic that goes through something like that. Ie, people renewing their accounts, people blabbing on the forums, etc etc. For MMOs, having a separate website specifically for the game is a must.

This is all speculation, of course. It seems like a plausible and possible explanation to recent events, however.

Yeah, that would all make sense except for the fact that Bungie keeps stating that they're going to stick with what they're good at - action games like Halo.

I've thought this too, but I've been waiting to bring it up until I had more evidence. I scan the jobs page a lot to see what Bungie is up to. Some of them have been filled, but there have been three seemingly odd types of positions. They have hired WAY too many server and IT specialists for a simple FPS game, UI designers, and a few language specialists.

An FPS game wouldn't need 5 or 6 more server programmers and IT specialists than Bungie currently has. One or two more might make sense, but 6 is a lot. And Bungie is hiring an entire team of UI designers, not just one more than they currently have. That's a lot of money to spend on UI design for an FPS game, but it's reasonable for an MMO game.

We'll see.
