Article.

I know this article is a good month and a bit old, and there might've been a thread about this, but I just found a link to it from the page in the OP of the Bungie is thanked for the Haiti relief they did
thread, and I thought I'd make a thread about it.

In the Article, it says that Blizzard has said that, if the rumors about Bungie making an MMO(FPS) are true, then they'd be happy to lend a helping hand with any advice Bungie might need or just to sit down and have a conversation with them about what it is to actually make an MMO.

I think this really points to the camaraderie within the gaming industry and the selflessness (to a point) demonstrated by those who work therein.

Your ideas on the whole thing? (I know it's a bit of a weak thread but I figured some discussion could come of it.)

I think Bungie should make a MMOFPSRPG. That would be fun.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

That sounds nice of them.

I would rather have some kind of FP MMO on a console. :p

Blizzard just wants Bungie to add pandas to the game.

Yeah, hopefully if Bungie DOES go the route of an MMO they do it first person and on consoles. (This would also probably make it less likely for them to have a monthly fee, as most console games don't.

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

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

- "Cross of Iron"

With blizzard backing them on an MMO it should turn out great. However i don't think there making one personally.

Well considering Blizz is a huge part of Activision, why wouldn't they help Bungie if they were making an MMO?

In the end they're still getting paper!

There is nothing wrong with getting advise. Especially when it comes to the backend networking side of things. Blizzard basically made the MMO what it is today and 7 years of experience isn't something you would just say "no" to.

I suppose but if you really truly want to do something on your own; innovate; start anew, then you have to really do it on your own. Advice is fine but influence is another, and there is a very slim area where neither correspond and coalesce. Bungie may want to be COMPLETELY dark, so as to allow itself (and themselves) to flourish on their own.

China had a trade embargo for hundreds of years and became one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world (discovering gunpowder in the 1100's, and having plans and a possible flamethrower in the 1000's).

Bungie may be pulling a China.

Bungie should make an RTS based on Halo with them... but on pc... and if they were still working on Halo(sad face)

I think Bungie won't need help. I you think MMOs kinda start out as strategy games and Bungie has Myth and Halo started as a RTS so I think they'll be fine.

I run Skirmish!!!

bungie knows enough and can hire the right people for any type of game. working with blizzard or even getting advice from them is not necessary

Play Halo Wars = problem solved.


On topic. Certainly interesting, but expected, nonetheless.

Halo Wars =/= Bungie.

Halo wars was not as good as it could have been, and also bungie didn't make it. And plus Halo Wars isn't on PC.

I find RTSs better on PC so I would support this.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

That would be brilliant if it were true. Advice from Blizzard would be great, however, I'd rather them not completely influence Bungie. That is a very unlinkely situation anyway.

Also...
