One shall stand, one shall fall.
I just thought I'd drop a "thank you" for creating one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life: Halo. I'll never forget the great times I had playing Halo 2 with my friends on Friday afternoons in high school, buying a 360 specifically for Halo 3, and the epic adventure of Halo: Reach. You created one of the most awesome protagonists of all time: the Master Chief John 117. The Chief is to Xbox what Mario is to Nintendo. You created a universe and a story that many people have said is the "Star Wars" of video games. You created a phenomenal multiplayer experience that has set the bar, and continues to raise the bar, for online gaming. And, perhaps most importantly, you do a great job of interacting with your fans. The online community you guys take part in, the special Halo events, the awesome online service record system, Bungie Day shenanigans, are all part of a memorable experience that few companies provide. Who else would really mail steaks to players who defeated them in a special online competition?
So I say thanks for all this and more. While you may have passed the Halo torch to 343, you still hold the honor of creating that legacy. And I believe that whatever you're working on now, whatever new experience you put out next, it will be just as awesome.
Happy 20th, Bungie, and here's to another 20 and more!
