Away from XBOX LIVE until both Doom 4 and Bungie's new game are released. The Flood will consume you.

Indeed it is very sad. But also fantastic! Beautifully written, sir!

Bungie,

You opened the world to a new universe. Halo has led this community through some tough times. We were there, with you, when Reach fell. We were there when Chief first stepped out of cryo-sleep. We were there, when the Elite's joined humanity in their struggle. And we were there, when we finished the fight.

These last 10 years have seen great and rough times. We fought with you a war, unlike anything ever seen. And this year, we won. We sent you out with a bang.

By far, you have created the greatest, and ever-expanding, game universe known as Halo. And the unanswered questions? Well, it's up to us now.

My thoughts on August 2nd's transition Well, you came up with it. In the words of the Arbiter, Thel' Vadum:

'We trade one villain for another'

It's been a blast, hell, unlike anything I could have ever imagined. I still remember that day at my uncle's house, when I ran through the Pillar of Autumn for the first time, and nailed my first Grunt.

Long live the 7th column! When we burn blue, we burn for Bungie!

Those Covvies never knew what hit 'em!

See you Starside, until we meet again.

After reading that post from Bungie, I feel many things sad, happy and excited. Sad that halo is not with my favourite game makers anymore :( (The gods who are Bungie), happy cause Halo is carrying on and Bungie also. And excited because I know what ever you do Bungie with new games in the future it will be amazing, how couldn't it be ? it has the makers of the best game of all time behind them Bungie :D urs truley D.J.L

In the aftermath of Bungie Day, I need to ask out of curiosity and I know you guys pulled stats. So what was the highest number of players in the Bungie Day playlist at one time? And the highest number of players online in matchmaking at one time? The usual tallies are something to gaze at in awe of how many devout fans, new fans and lifers graced the online system. Although if you're planning to post a final list of All Time Halo stats on July 29th or August 1st, I can wait.

August 2nd when BNet goes dark, we'll still be playing Halo during the Long Night of Solace until the next Bungie universe is unleashed on the public. 'Nuff said!

Bungie, you may be leaving one of the greatest games man has ever known, but in doing so you have etched a mark of greatness amoungst the stary skies above, continuing your paths onward into unknown realms, single-handedly achieving world domination, you went out with a bang and kept on banging, your fans will follow you to the bitter-sweet end wherever that may be, without you the Halo universe will not be the same, Halo fans may miss you guys, but Bungie fans will keep striving forward for that sweet taste of Bungie tea(or juice)
For some this will be a sad farewell, but to the fans that follow, it will be a shift into environments of cosmic proportions.

See You Starside...

Love,

I'm probably twice your age, punk!

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

Thanks for all the great times. Looking forward to your next project. As this chapter ends, so does another in my life - the Space Shuttle program. Go Atlantis!!!

My first Bungie game ever was Halo 2 on the XBOX. I still remember the amazement that I felt when I watched Master Cheif leap through the Cairo's air lock with a Covenant Bomb as he drifted through a raging space battle.

While I haven't been happy with some of your past decisons in regards to gameplay mechanics or story direction, you guys will always be one of the most inovative and revolutionary game companies to exist, and you will always have a special place in my heart.

Thank you for 20 years of fantastic gaming and I can't wait to hear about your next project.
