I thought it would be cool to pitch my idea for a game to my favorite game maker, but I don't know how or where to do it, accept maybe in an email, but who knows if they'd ever see if with all the email they get.

What if we had a forum that was designed specifically for pitching our ideas to Bungie? Some really cool games of the future could come out of it!

If you don't think we need it, please say why.

Thanks for your input.

Doesn't The Underground include future games also?

I think that's specific to Halo 3 ideas, isn't it? I was thinking more for games that may have nothing to do with the Halo story.

That's what many people think. However, The Underground is for Oldskool Bungie games (with the exception of Halo and Halo 2), future speculation, and Bungie in general.

Actually, really you can't do that. As we've witnessed recently, Bungie doesn't take ideas about games from third parties for a variety of reasons. You can voice your opinions, but they won't do anything.

What if I wanted to pitch an idea that was totally ascew from Myth or Halo? Would that be acceptable in the Underground? If so, I'll go start my thread there. I just wasn't sure it was an appropriate location.

Ideas come from all over. I don't necessarily expect anyone to use my idea completely, but only to offer some of what I feel would be really cool game features in a theme that I enjoy and to post those ideas to someone who might actually be able to use them to make their own ideas and build it into a game that I might eventually get to play.

I suppose there would be no way of saying that the end result was from me. I just want to get it out there.

I'm certifiable.

For an enormous truckload of legal reasons, Bungie does not accept unsolicited original material. Even when they're better than this.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Imagine if you will, someone came up with a brilliant idea for a game and Bungie were like "zomg! what an awsome idea. Let's make that game that guy thought of!" so then they go off and build it, shrink wrap it and ship it. The game is a massive hit and the guy who had the idea is like "wow. Bungee must get liek loads of cash. Hmm hey what's this advert on the TV? Oh a suing company. Hmmm wait, that gives me an idea!" Bungie loose.

Now i know that's only one reason and it's extremely basic, but you get it right?
