Can people still not connect to beta.bungie.net? It works fine for me.

Whenever the update arrives I'm sure it will be awesome, but I like the current layout...


Whenever I enter beta.bungie.net into my address bar, it just redirects me to Bungie.net.

Yeah, I think its time for a big change instead of tiny little things.

  • 07.14.2011 1:15 AM PDT

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I'm ready for it I honestly didn't like the 2007 update.

  • 07.14.2011 1:47 AM PDT

Even a new background would be a substantial upgrade.

I WAS SOCK

I'm ready for some big changes to bnet.

Don't get me wrong, I love everything how it is, but I always love when everything feels fresh and new around here. The front page feels new, but everything behind it feels old. Older now in fact, due to the hawtness of the front page.

This place won't even be recognizable. I'm ready for that.

Agreed Agreed. While a change of scenery would be nice I wont be disappointed if teh New Hawtness didn't arrive any time soon.

The enemy of my enemy shall die next.

I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

Brown chicken Brown cow!

Will be interesting to find out, but I think it will change in stages rather than one big change, starting on the 2nd and changing when more info on their new universe is released.

Login in will be interesting if they move away from the Live ID option though. Will there be stat tracking for future games on both x360 and ps3? who knows.

I still think the web monkey will rule with an iron banana!

Change is good.


So true... Not to mention this site could use a fresh look. Can't wait till it does.

I was young, I was surviving the times. Waiting for my moment I was destined to shine. And I seized it!

This is somewhat off-topic, but the bottom of the word "profile" (the pull-down menu) has been cut off for a few weeks. It ain't my browser neither.

My expectation for the New Hawtness? FIX IT! I have a little OCD and it bugs me.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

I wasn't expecting much change in terms of functionality, it seems to run fine as is (of course there are a few glitches). But a visual overhaul is always nice.

Please check your expectations - August 2nd is largely a content update, not one where functionality will be substantially altered.

Yeah...and they need to stop teasing us!

It is still running through the meadows on sunny days, ever since we took it to stay with that old couple on their farm.

Evolution/Metamorphosis is a slow prodding process(say that five times fast). Anyway I am sure the new HAWTness will be supple, and nutritous like a mother's milk filled teet.

We shall drink from that teet friends, and become greater. I smell the stench of History boys and we are about to make it!

It is revenge for Bungie's molestation of their canine pet, Ling Ling. I know, as they are my grandparents.

I obviously want to see information on the new IP. But, when and if the full overhaul ever comes, I want to see a lot of well thought out social integration. I want to tweet or +1 (Google+) a comment or thread in the forums. I don't feel like a big overhaul is necessary. The layout should change, but the basic functionality should stay the same.

As with the "New Hawtness's" of the past, Halo inspired some of the features on the site. I can only assume that the new Universe and game would have the same effect. Honestly, and I'm probably going to catch hell for this, I wouldn't mind a Facebook/Twitter/Google+ login requirement to leave comments. It was implemented on Techcrunch and I thought I would hate it, but it's kind of nice. Not to mention that there are 750 million Facebook users out there. If those people want to interact with Bungie, they don't have to have another username and password to do so.

I hope they change the title system so everyone can be confused and make up facts about it again

I'll assume that beta.bungie.net was either taken down or is only for Bungie selected beta testers since I can't connectt to that website or the link Cryptic put up. I'll assume it's the later. Anyone else unable to connect as well?
Yes, that is the case for me as well.

You know what would be fantastic is a notification system. Too often I make a comment in a thread and it gets lost in the pages. I'd rather forget about it than try and find it. I know this can be remedied by saving the thread, but sometimes I forget.
