Subject: Mail Sack 8 Awaits

Historically, developers and testers make up one of the most bitter adversarial relationships known to man... How would you classify that relationship at Bungie?

Did you guys know that you are the most awesome people in the world?

By the way, I'm studying to become an engineer and I wanted to know: will you need a good and highly overpayed engineer to help you build the giant slingshot - or videogames, whatever you prefer - in a couple of years?

If you worked at another company before Bungie, what is one thing you miss from your old company?

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Does anyone at the studio happen play Warhammer or 40k? If so, then give us details on armies and such.

Positive vibes.

Truthfully, I miss the spirited vibe this place used to give off; it used to be so lively. So, I suppose I have more of statement to make, rather than a question to ask.

I have never been very good at analogies, but my feelings toward this website are like the feeling you get when you reminisce about a television program, or movie you used to love as a child; or perhaps an experience you had when you were younger.

When I look back on the days forthcoming the launch of Halo: Reach, I remember how enthusiastic everyone was. I remember the vibrant discussions everyone was having, and the vivacity in their hearts.

My intentions are not to over romanticize the past, but merely to explain that I feel like I am drawing further and further away from this website as the days go on. It is not that I do not appreciate each and every one of the members here; that's not it at all. I simply do not feel as compelled to sign-in, and participate in the community as much as I did before.

Did you guys watched Halo 4 "behind-the-scene" talk from 343i, and what was your reaction? Anything interesting from that clip?

What's the general attitude of those around the office? Is it always a friendly and playfulness and love, or is there ever any hatred or bitterness or disdain amongst a few of them? Certainly there have to have been heated arguments between employees, whether it be past or present. Was there ever any big arguments/fights (physical or not) that have been had?

Why is there not a virtual 3D guided tour of the bungie studio's, with touch technology?

Before Bungie, what was your "epiphany" moment. What brought you to the conclusion that you wanted to do what you're doing now. What decisions led you to becoming an employee [or hopping on the road to becoming one] at one of the greatest companies in the world?

Have you guys made any inside jokes or memorable moments in 2012 yet?

Who created the BUNGiE logo? Why was it chosen to look like that?

Do newer employees get "giddy" around their heroes in the office, if they have any?

Does anyone ever get "freaked out" when fans get giddy around them, and seem to know a lot about them?

Just an Average Joe...

Halo was a behemoth of a franchise. I as a long time and continued future supporter of Bungie Studios wish to see another behemoth that I can sink my teeth into as a gamer. Does the team feel that they're on the road to creating something magnificent once again? One that could outshine their first powerhouse franchise? (By the way I'm aware that's not always the goal, you guys just want to make an amazing game... But I'm still curious.)

Who designed Blood Gulch and who named it?

RIP Logan ~B.B.

Today, 343 released a bunch of Halo 4 information. One of their main talking points is that Halo 4's multi-player maps have been built for competitive play, and aren't just recycled campaign spaces. This has been a misconception about Halo Reach that the multiplayer maps were "copy and pasted" from campaign and used as MM maps, when really, they were designed on their own, as competitive MM maps and put in to the campaign as a playable space. When 343 uses this as a selling point for a new game, as if it was ever an issue in previous games, do you feel they are lending credence to baseless internet rumors and throwing Bungie under the bus?

Are there any traditions we don't know about? Somewhere along the lines of Bungie Day or the Pentathalon?
