"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Remember the first time you played Halo? The first time you experienced the story and became interested in the lore. Fast forward to a year from now and imagine Bungies new game. imagine the many new fans it will draw in from young age groups to veterans like most of us who have been playing Halo for the latter of the past decade.

These new fans, probably most of them have not experienced Halo but know Bungie for it. Now this new "generation" of Bungie gamers will be playing and diving into the story of this new IP not Halos.

The point im making here is times are changing and were going to see a very very different Bungie.net soon. For the Halo veterans here were going to have to learn a new story and adapt to the many new people this game and this new story will draw in. Sure 343 is continuing Halo but like i stated earlier there are people who have not played Halo and will take this Bungie game without thinking of it.

This is a time of change on a scale we honestly cannot imagine. Were in for a long ride with Bungie and some new faces. Its been a great past 10 years and the years to come our looking mysterious and inviting!

I'm not really expecting that much change. Eventually the people who started with Halo will be a minority, but that's about it.

I don't really buy into the whole "Halo makes Bungie" mentality. I'm excited for some change.

I understand where your coming from, but when people think Bungie they think of Halo these days. I have played and beaten Marathon and enjoyed it so im not just purely a Halo fan.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Although I principally came to this website because of Halo, I can't deny that this wasn't the case for quite a few members. There are countless groups dedicated to Pathways, Marathon, and Oni, in addition to the occasional thread regarding these games in the Universe. Though I myself have never played the games or really interacted with someone about their story and fanbase, it's undeniable that these games have played a role in shaping both this company and website and will continue to do so.

So, in relation to this new IP, is change coming? Undoubtedly. Should we hold on to what this site is now as well as what it was in the past so that we can comment on the direction it takes in the future? Certainly. However, it isn't something we should look at with apprehension but rather something we should look at with hope and excitement. The last winds of change in 2001 brought the Halo fanbase (and most importantly me); many of which have become Bungie fans. The new wave of change will hopefully bring a new generation of fans that first cling to the game and then become part of the culture of Bungie. I believe both the game and the fans will change Bungie for the better just as we and Halo did.

I agree. Im not saying Halo made Bungie and none of there other games have had an impact, but in terms of gamers in general when they think Bungie they think Halo. I cant wait for what Bungie has next up there sleeve.
