In a 343-related video. (at around 1:56)

After working multiple years at Bungie, Vic DeLeon states that 343 is already the best team he's ever worked with.

343 also has some confidence in saying that "We have aspirations in becoming the best game studio in the world."

Looks like Bungie may have some competition in world domination. 343 is essentially a super-company, compiled of some of the best employees of the best game studios and other professions.

Step your game up, Bungie?

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Traitor!!!

That's not really dissing Bungie...

"Best team I've ever worked with" isn't exactly a diss. I know Vic personally, and I'm not going to take him going somewhere he's happy as a "diss."

While I currently have no interest in Halo 4, I don't see an issue with them having aspirations.

Oh sweet Jesus. I'm in that video in the shot with the crowd. >_>

Ask me a question, and I will most likely respond back with false and illogical information not pertaining to said question.

Pretty sure he's giving his opinion on the company.

They dare threaten Bungie's grand plans of world domination?!

I can't even take 343i seriously.

  • 03.04.2012 1:13 PM PDT

Maybe the keyword is "worked", as in "gelled" or "found harmony" with.

Not everyone fits into every studio in the same way. There's always a sort of work-ethic personality-fit that's required, and it changes from workplace to workplace.

Am I the only one that thinks Frank O'Conner looks like a slightly fatter Billy Corgan?

  • 03.04.2012 1:16 PM PDT

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and it is not like he is directly saying that working for Bungie was bad.

Aspirations? HA! Who do they think they are? They think they can just "have" ambition?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Well, he's not going to lie...


And he surely isn't going to say "Bungie is way better than this place. It sucks here."

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I don't think 343 even compares to the glory of bungie

Everyone, please. It was just one man giving his opinion on 343i. There's nothing wrong about that.




However, they will not get in the way of our slingshot plans!

How dare you take a reasonable approach. We must start a mob and bring down this traitor who dares be happy in his new environment. 343i is evil for trying to bring a talented group of designers together to make a great product. We must burn it to the ground.

OP, your making this out to be more then it is. The purpose of that Vdoc was to say how "amazing" 343i is and basically let the fans get insight on the studio who is actually working on Halo. He never "dissed" Bungie. Praising your current employer and co-workers is the right thing to do unless you want to be fired.

By that same token, are you suggesting he looks like a slightly fatter Lord Voldemort?

But yeah, I agree that he looks like Billy.
