Never give up, never surrender!


Posted by: BigLanceLS
Wait, what?! I thought every Bungie employee other than just a few already moved over to 343i...

/s

Highly talented people will always be sought out by competitors. If a few of the good guys from Bungie get pulled into other projects, then hopefully they can infect those other developers with some of the special sauce that makes Bungie great.


Eh....no. You can count the number of people who left Bungie for 343i on ONE HAND !

They never had real vacations do they?

Lehto said he was going on "sabbatical" which means he's taking a break from work.

Urk mentioned in another thread that Ske7ch is spending time with his family.

So I assume that this is probably going to be a case for a lot of the employees who have been on hardcore stretches of work for years now.

Employee's families miss them a whole lot when they're working god-knows-how-many-hours a week.

Seriously SJ, you and Cortana know so much you might as well work at the Studio.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?

I don't want Marcus to leave. He brings so much to the company but if his heart is with Halo I can see him making beautiful things with Frankie.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Or he tweeted it, and that is how most people know.

Marcus is still on the "Meet the Team" page and so is Niles. Neither have left Bungie, at least to my knowledge.

I doubt this page is accurate. I can't even find Urk on it !

Lehto? Didn't he direct the abomination of a campaign?

I believe he was the Creative Director for Reach.

Correct me on this.


He was the Creative Director for all of the Halo games, I think.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Brian has his employee status here on Bungie taken down quite a while ago... I find that old news...

Marcus, well, I personally think as long as Jason Jones works at Bungie until he is dead, Bungie will be fine. By then there should be a prodigy to take his place.

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

That's surprising.
