"Concise and devoid of elegance...what I have come to expect from human communication"-Endless Summer

I have been playing Halo since it came out in 2001.The vidoc made me cry because Halo was my childhood. I love Halo and I love Bungie.

Great ViDoc. It's great to see that the dudes over at Bungie have so much passion for the stuff that they create.

Can't wait to see what's next!

I'd just like to express my opinion on the last ViDoc Bungie recently released. It was beautiful! It really showed the truly epic company Bungie is. I love you guys! :D


We love you too. That's what a huge chunk of the ViDoc was about, how great you guys are!

You guys are the best, you really are.

o , hello

I tottaly agree, but, they say ''see you starside'' and at the end of the ViDoc there are words in latin : ''per audacia ad astra'' and that means :By daring to the stars, wich (i think) means there making a game in wich you do some spacey or in that region or something :P

^ This.

I teared up as well. Remembering the great times me and my friends are having/have had playing Halo. The launch parties, midnight releases, watching the epic cutscenes as you played through each game for the first time.

I don't know if 343 will do justice to the Halo franchise, my personal judgement will have to wait until I play Halo: CEA, and then Halo 4 next year.

What I do know is this;

Whatever success 343 Industries has with Halo, whatever heights they take the series to, they will never be able to take it to the levels that Bungie did. Every time I play any Halo from CE, to Reach, to any Halo after this, I will always hold Bungie first in my heart.

343 will always be second to Bungie whenever Halo is discussed or played in any form or Forum.

You can't replace, or even beat, the real deal.

I was just going to make a similar thread myself after watching it.

As a gamer you don't realise what goes into making the games you play you just see the final product.

I've always loved and admired bungie for the way they listen to and take care of their fans through playlist and title updates and these forums.

Watching this documentary took my respect for them to another level.

The bit about them having to give up their baby to gain back their independence was the real choking point for me - very emotional. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for those guys to take that decision.

They didn't say "This game will be bigger than Halo." They said, "How can a game be bigger than Halo?" followed by, "We'll see." So basically they want to say Halo was a big risk that payed off, and thats what they are hoping for with the new franchise.


However the implication of those paired statements is that this might be bigger than Halo, a positive suggstion without qualification leaving only that suggestion despite the question. Even if it's not stated explicitly, the implicit meaning is clearly there for all to see, setting the stage for this supposedly great new territory much in the same way that early PR for Halo Reach (see that whole "definitive Halo" business again) set the stage for that game's gross disappointment.

I guess I just have a pessimistic view of Bungie's "big talk." As I more or less stated above, it wouldn't be the first time that one of their projects flopped despite the grand designs trumped up to us if Tiger turns out to be another Reach (big talk hiding a defective game), or even just another ODST on a smaller scale of disappointment (even as "just an expansion".)

Reasons your have no clue what you are talking about:
Reach made $200 million in first day sales.
Reach is the highest selling game in the franchise.
Reach got consistently high scores in ratings.
Oh and lets not forget many more people are still playing than are coming on the forums to whine about it.

I get why people are worried about the direction of a company but the minority needs to stop spamming the forums with hate, we need a master "hates bungie" thread.

"Wake me...when you need me."

I agree with the OP 100%. See you starside.

You know what I can't stand? People who try to state there opinion as FACT. Reach was not broken or defective, it was a damn good game. If Reach had been the first halo to ever release, and there was no Halo:CE-3 then you would love Reach. You may not like some of the things they added, just like I don't(Specifically Armor Lock), but that does not mean the game doesn't function the way it is supposed to. You act like your OPINION carries over to everybody. Just because Reach and ODST were a disappointment to you, does not mean they were a disappointment all together. No, the lore doesn't match up with the BOOKS. Halo started as a game, and when Bungie says that the games override the books as far as cannon goes, then games > books. Reach was not a disappointment, Reach is an amazing game, and Bungie is an amazing developer.

And on topic, this ViDoc really did hit close to home. I started with CE as a kid and have been around since. Halo 2 was my personal favorite as far as multiplayer goes. To hear them talk about how it nearly got the shaft, was kinda bone-chilling to me. I still to this day have 16-man LAN parties with Halo 2. H2's big maps were for the win.

These guys will always be my favorite. I felt so happy after I finished watching it, and seeing all my favorite games I have played since I was tiny really gave me a good blast from the past moment. Beautiful documentary, and definitely showed what Bungie has been all about.

I am quite happy I didn't get one of those bad copies of Myth II though. I knew about the bug and installed it into my computer the other day, had too much memory so it didn't work and I uninstalled it. My dad got the game from Jason himself at Mac World way back.

I think that Bungie in general is the best company the world could ask for, their team is fantastic and gives their best to completing the job, their way of getting feedback from their website, and being a good group in general.

All I could wish for is to be able to achieve my dream, to be able to work at Bungie. I took a step forward these last years and got myself an internship at a game company. After college I will be almost there. Rather proud of myself. Watching them grow is great, but I want to help in the process.


Yeah but if you did, I wonder if it would be worth alot of money?

Scandinavian Master Race!

Thank you Bungie for you have created my favorite universe of all time and for giving the last ten years so many memories of Halo. I´m looking forward to what you have next installed for us.

That ViDoc... :'(

I was just speechless... All of this time and I know I'll probably never experience the true beauty of Marathon and Halo - most notably the art&music - but of course everything else. Here's hoping their next game is a sci-fi. <3 you Bungie.

While I didn't cry, it made me remember some of the good times I had with the Halo franchise:

me and my college roommate never leaving the dorm some weekends playing the Halo CE campaign and 2 player multiplayer for the first time,

my then fiancee stood in line with me at the midnight release of Halo 2 and then fiancee turned wife that purchased me a 360 as a wedding present solely for Halo 3, which she stood in line with me then too :)

I loved playing through ODST's campaign it was so dark and lonely. I loved it.

I loved the way all the features of Reach made you rethink how to play Halo. It kept the gameplay, in my opinion, from turning stale.

The ViDoc, to me, was a fine stroll down memory lane and helped me to remember what made Halo great in the first place, for better or worse- Bungie's sense of community.

Thank you Bungie!!

I was almost in tears.... I will support anything Bungie does.... anything. They are simply one of the greatest developers ever.

I'm not arrogant, I'm just better than you.

I'm excited about seeing what comes next :D

  • 08.05.2011 11:15 AM PDT

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

It was truly amazing, I can't wait to see what Bungie has coming for us. I'll always stay with Bungie, see you starside.

Best. Ship. Ever!

It was great. I wish they they concentrated a bigger chunk of the ViDoc to the first 10 years instead of just mainly Halo but I understand why they did it since the majority of Bungie fans came from Halo and not before.
