Long live the rebirth of the loved and lost Assault Rifle

I just got through watching the ViDoc released today, and I feel that Bungie deserves to be recognized and appreciated for all they have done from us, the 7th column, and the online community in general.

I admit I've only been familiar with Bungie from the launch of Halo on the Xbox... (got it launch day, and never looked back)
But from that day on, I looked at gaming in a completely different way. The vast horizons of the Halo ring the texturing of the then revolutionary graphics, the story arc, the characters, they all enraptured me and made me an loyal FPS gamer from then on.

I like to say that Goldeneye:007 got me interested in Shooters, but Halo made me a shooter.

The 10 years I've been playing Halo games have been the most interesting and memorable years of my gaming life. I've met people I never would have met in different cities, and countries because of Halo. and some of those people I still call good friends to this day.

And through it all, even surviving the modder plague of Halo 2, the boosters and stand-byers of Halo 3, and even now with the bridgers, stand-byers, and all around cheaters of Reach, I wouldn't have changed a thing in all those angry nights, because when the games were good, they were GREAT. And they have been consistantly great for a decade of Halo, a decade before, and, I hope, decades to come.

so to Bungie I say this: Though our community does have it's share of people who belittle and berade you for reasons I'm too much of a nice person to chastize. I want to Thank you. And hopefully the other people who feel the way I do will let me speak for them when I say that you haven't just created a gaming company, a new virtual universe, and a community. You've created a way of thinking. and you've affected hundreds of thousands of lives. as a company you've made counless happy memories on incalculable levels. And though Halo is done for Bungie, we will faithfully follow your next, and following ventures. Because you've earned that loyalty, and you deserve it for all your contributions to us. your fans, supporters, and friends.

Godspeed and success to you Bungie.

See you starside.

Sincerely;
G. Austin Volterman

I thank them very much for the great times they gave me with Halo over the past 10 years. But I can't thank them for Reach, just no. But other than that, I hope they have success in their new ventures.
