Subject: Mail Sack: Dirty Dozen Edition

You are still here! This week, we redraw the boundaries of the Bungie Community. You are not here to polish up the medals you won last night. You are not here to render that video that you shot last week.

So, you must be here because you have something on your mind. What is it?

The Mailsack is open. The usual safeties are in place. Can't talk about what we are working on, but we can talk about the people who are working on it.

What was the last Halo: 2/Halo 3: ODST/Halo: 3/Halo: Reach game to hit the servers?

I'm still curious.

What was the immediate reaction to seeing Halo: CE used in Machinimas? How did it feel to have your game essentially launch the art forward?

  • 04.02.2012 10:13 AM PDT

Jack of all trades, master of none.

If you were stuck on a desert island and you could only take one video game with you (and apporpriate console), what would it be? Assuming of course the console was solar powered, and you have no online access.

What retro games do you guys play in your spare time? Do you still own your old consoles?

Halo 3 Longshore playable on Team Fortress 2 vids

To whom it may concern,

What hats do you wear on Crazy Friday? I do recall watching the Halo 3: Essential video and I often wonder what hat you wear.

Yours truely,
Regretful.

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

Probably falls under the 'can't talk about what we're working on' but it has to do with site functionality and other things.


For the past 4 games Bungie has released they've had support to use your in game icon as your avatar for Bungie.net.
Will the new game have some sort of support to do the same thing?
Really, I want to know if I'll get to update my TriForce.

We know there are always some items that must be cut from a game's development due to time constraints, disappointing certain employees. But are there ever times when employees question why the -blam!- they're working on something?

Who is the least patient person at Bungie? How do you know this?

I hate to keep posing the same question... ah no I don't.

Is there any possibility we will see an ARG come to bungie.net again in the future?

Also, ask marty if he wants me to prove my newest tattoo was real last year at PAX, since he had his doubts =P

What does the typical day of a Bungie writer look like?

  • 04.02.2012 10:20 AM PDT

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

How long is the average working day for a Bungie employee?

Does anyone at Bungie have a child that posts on the forums? I hear Urk's kid already has a beard.

... I second this, actually. Now I'm curious. I assume they get together on a whiteboard and sketch ideas. Then what? Do they type on their computer? Do they write it by hand, afraid people would see it on there or something? What's the process for story-writing I wonder. Or to make it less-future-project-prying, what WAS the process for past games?

Do you do anything special on Bungie day in the office?

What can I do to get a job in the gaming industry? What colleges or universities would you recommend?

Last question: What courses would you recommend?

I'm not asking this because I want to work at Bungie no. I'm asking this because I have a passion for game development and since you are on the inside, I would like to know your secrets for getting in.

That answer that kinda stuff just about every time.
:P

If you're curious, have you read the Breaking In Articles? A lot of those guys offer some pretty good advice as to what you need to do. It's pretty interesting. It might help you out my good man.
