Subject: I think Bungie deserves some respect

"I wanted to make people happy, if only for an hour."
-Busby Berkley

RIP Halo 2

I had a great deal of respect for bungie from around 2001 to about 2008 or so. Now that they're leaving halo, I have more respect for them because they won't be bleeding this franchise anymore. And I will follow them to their next game and I have high hopes that it will be great because they are clearly capable of making amazing games. Just in the last few years the direction they were going seemed wrong. I'm glad they're moving on.

The Bungie employees are big boys; I doubt some criticism is going to hurt their feelings.

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with criticism, so long as it is done respectfully and in a civil fashion.

Unfortunately, most of the community...

Bungie deserves more respect than any other game developer imo. There aren't many other developers who care so much about their community as Bungie.
<7 Bungie !

You must not know 'bout me

Give Eros a try. It's an active Off-Topic forum where everyone feels like friends.

Feel the love

Everyone should be able to take criticism including Bungie.

I agree. I have loads of respect for Bungie, but this site is here to allow us to discuss their products (among other things). If you dislike their product than there's nothing wrong with saying so, even in a negative way. That's what these forums are for.

No, the community as a whole IMO.

I've respected Bungie since day one. I definitely appreciate the work the people there put into their games, and I'm most certainly looking forward to the future.

I've respected Bungie ever since I signed up for this website, however the community hasn't respected me.

After being treated like crap for 2 years I keep coming back here because I love Bungie. I'm not staying here because of the community, forum ninjas, or even the web-team. I'm staying here for Bungie. Period.

And a couple private groups I like.

Videogames, Anime, and Interwebz. I love it all!

You act as though Reach is "broken" and will be "fixed" in time. Nothing is wrong with it. I enjoy it more than I've enjoyed any Halo in the past and can't wait to see what Bungie thinks up next!

Bungie had my respect since Halo: CE....

Wish the Reach Forum felt the same.

Before you start to go on a flaming or trolling spree. Read this damn thread. Among the community, their are a majority of us that appreciate the Halo franchise. I played through Halo CE all the way to Reach and I must say, I had a blast. I'm not much of a dedicated Halo fan like the others since I don't own the books, statues or anything that relates to Halo. But I appreciate these games since a lot of hard work has been spent on them. I understand that Bungie no longer have authority over Halo since they split from Microsoft, but they did a darn good job of it and I salute them for it. I aren't no Bungie fanboy before you ask, I am merely a person showing his appreciation. I won't go into extreme detail in this thread, but I think people need to tone down on this negativity, whether they are haters or fans alike. I understand that Reach isn't the best Halo game and does need improving, but complaining and moaning won't get the job done any faster, so patience is a virtue. I just like to say thank you to Bungie on a job well done on Halo and I wish them for the very best in the future. Anyway you are free to reply to this thread, but just keep it civilized and refrain from all the trolling. Thanks.


I hear you man... I believe that Bungie does deserve more respect that most of the community members gives them credit for, but everybody knew this day would come when Bungie would leave Halo....,but still they gave up map packs, games we could forge into new games , we even got to have flaming helmets and feel like Bungie members but hey I'm not riding Bungie or anything but look of what COD has do they get kewl -potatoes!- like us ? New they don't they get the same crappy stuff over and over look at them they can't stop camping or build their own maps ! So before you judge look at what we can do and they can't in the words of the company that has brought us joy! Look at us now ! Look at us now ! Our Webmaster wears a gorilla suit and a jetpack ! We're killin campers !

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

The amount of hatred towards Bungie in the Reach forum is revolting.

I can't wait till 343i takes over and all the haters leave.

You speak as if bungie was starved by your respect( and were obligated to earn it).Flash news they aren't. No one will try to force you respect them( not that it was that important anyways).Some of us do believe they do.

I respect them because they are great developers, their great fan interaction, because they make awesome games and because halo was my first real game.

Why should I respect a games company? If they make a product I want to buy I will buy it, that's why I didn't buy Halo Reach. Bungie is a business, if people feel the product they purchased is lacking in some areas then they're entitled to get on the internet and -blam!- about it.

Thanks guys for the constructive replies. I know everyone won't be pleased by the end product, but you can't say they never tried. In all honesty, I was surprised with the amount of replies this thread received. But they were constructive and had little to no trace of trolling. So thanks again.

People are entitled to their opinion. Whether people like the games or not is up to them. They, like you, can create threads praising or degrading the game.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

People like to express their respect in different ways, it seems some people like to express it a bit angrily. But we can't expect them just to chane their ways. They love Bungie just a much as us, but they ding express it the same as us.
