Bye.

Most of us know by now know that on March 31st all live Halo data will cease to update on bungie.net and will be managed by 343 Industries. Didn't know that? Click here!. This made me ponder, "What will happen to the Bungie mobile app?". By having frozen stats the app becomes rather pointless. If you're not checking out your own or others stats you probably aren't doing much (Unless you're a lucky member who gets the occasional PM). Besides that, the "Love, Bungie" section isn't updated that often and the "news" section is filled up with some tweets that aren't really, what I would deem to be, news worthy.

So do you think the mobile app will see a major overhaul when the stats are gone? Will the news feed become the main tab as destiny information is slowly being teased? Will the "Love, Bungie" section update with a game based around shaving Urk's beautiful ginger beard? What do you think?

I believe you will still be able to access them but they will no longer update after March 31st.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Most likely explanation.

Yes, a lot of employees have pointed out that the stats will stay but just won't update, doesn't that make the app lose purpose?

Every bungie.net source of stats (the web site, the mobile app, the API) will essentially "freeze" in time. So, your Bungie mobile app will cease to provide updated Halo stats and only show you archived data once the transition happens.


There you go. So yeah, the app will kinda be pointless.

Not entirely... I can still see sent messages on it until those are put on BNet. But once that happens, yes, it'll be useless apart from getting iPhone backgrounds and such.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I have a feeling Bungie has something in the works for the Bungie Mobile application. It will probably tie into their next IP, so for now, we will have to be patient and see.
