Pour your soul into the Sack. There is peace in the Sack.

Seriously though: What is the one thing that you always wanted to know about life at Bungie, but were afraid to ask? When I talk to my teammates, many of them tell me how much they miss interaction with the Bungie Community. Here is your chance to throw a thought-provoking grenade onto the development floor.

What would clue you in on the personality of the studio?

Pie or cake?


What would clue me in? The dark lights y'all seem so fond of.

Okay, serious question....what do you guys do with all that Halo swag left over from the old studio?

  • 03.05.2012 8:21 AM PDT

I am a "True" gamer advocate.
Halo 2
People are crazy, and times are strange...

I'd like to make it known that Step 7: for World Domination, is just an analogy for an open world RPG, or MMO, right?

oh and is it true the Brutes were thrown into the Halo series to add fresh gameplay, nothing more?
I tend to loose sleep over these two things

I have two questions and both are pretty simple in terms of answering:

One: Is BUNGiE accepting names for people to put into the giant slingshot facing the sun?

Two: I am a college student working on my Associates in Science(particularly computer science) and I was wondering if BUNGiE has a co-op or internship available or do you all know a good game company that offers such services?

I would like to cut my teeth on game dev so I have the experience necessary to get a full job when I have received my bachelor's in computer science and have a fulfilling life creating cool -blam!- with the best game dev company?

Is crunch time as bad as my professors make it out to be? (i.e. sleeping in the office for weeks)

I <3 you too Bungie

I don't understand how Bungie can use their agile-based methodology for different stages of making games (discussed in their production articles and by employees in GDC talks) while having any effective production staff with boots on the ground. It seems that production staff would just be measuring progress, putting out fires, and scheduling tasks using custom metrics. This seems to hinder progress and put developers in a box/bottleneck rather than supporting the team.

Can anyone clarify?

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

How long did it take to make Bungie.net into what we see today? Probably a question for Achronos.

How is working at Bungie different than, say, Microsoft (or any other software/gaming company)? What is the Bungie experience like?

This. I guess they're doing quite a few cool things with the franchise, such as providing a reason for the red vs. blue concept. How do you guys feel about it?
