Subject: 343i and Bungie relations

Join SIP today! We smell good. Promise.


It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

Im sure cuddles are exchanged when the companies meet.

I'd be more interested in knowing how the respective companies feel about all the rumours constantly going around like:

"343 is mostly comprised of ex-Bungie employees"

"The core team who made Halo 1-3 are at 343. They left Bungie after Halo 3"

"343 has Frank O'Connor, and he's the main person responsible for making Halo 1-3 what they were"

I just thought about something....


Four dots! IS IT 3 OR 5? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??!?

*Mindmelt*

OT: I think they see each other as respectable contenders in the market. Like when you play a 1v1 casually against a friend, or you're on opposite teams. Sure, you play to win but you ain't gonna' destroy them, play dirty or make them resent you forever.

If you beat them, pat them on the back. If they beat you, it's not that you did bad, they just did better this time. Shake their hand and try again.

Per Audacia Ad Astra!

I think they both respect each other, Bungie is probably happy that their baby is in someone else's hands ( mostly composed of a majority of fan) and 343i is proud to take care of this franchise.

By the way i remember an interview with Frankie who said that it was hard for him to left Bungie because he saw the new project and was interested in it with the core concept who was exciting (sometyhing totally "crazy" as he said) and he had to choose between this and Halo, well you know the rest of the story...

So i think some 343i member know what Bungie is cooking and they're probably excited to see the game itself...

~ I hate, therefore I am. ~

I don't see why it would be awkward.

I'd imagine that once Halo 4 drops, the people at Bungie will still enjoy playing the new Halo game. Just like when Bungie's new game drops, people at 343i are going to enjoy that game as well. I think that Bungie is as excited to see (and play) Halo 4, just like 343i is excited trying to figure out what Bungie is cooking up in their game laboratory. And when Bungie's game drops, 343i will be excited to play that one as well.

Just because they're two separate companies now, doesn't mean that there needs to be any animosity (besides the obligatory tea-bagging during friendly matches of course) between the two studios.

I don't see why people seem to think that the companies are going to be at each others' throats. They both respect each other and we're going to have great games coming out of both companies'.

Let the hate die. Move along.

Play Halo 4 when it drops, and love it because it's Halo (and not CoD...).

When Bungie's new game drops, love that one as well as we emerge triumphantly into a bright new Universe.

But let the animosity go. Please.

We're all Gamers. Regardless of company, we love our games, and the two companies in question are all Gamers as well.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I'd love to know what Bungies artists think of the 343i..... reimaginings of classic Halo designs.


Likewise. I have nothing against what 343i are currently doing with the game, but I would really love to see what Bungie (truly) thinks.

But what is the relationship like from a business standpoint?

For example, you could be competitors depending on your new IP, and some competing companies get aggressive, with Activision/ Bethesda filing lawsuits against EA/ Mojang being examples. I doubt there will ever be a lawsuit from you guys, but while your employees remain friendly, how do you act as competing companies?

Bungie said they are working on something comepletely different so I don't think they are competing for the top spot in a genre. And besides, Halo fans will buy 343 games because its Halo and Halo fans will also buy games by bungie because well... its bungie.

P.S. After Urk posts, you can always count on the next six plus people to quote him. lol

bungieisnt"with"activision.....


Is someones space bar broken?

OT: I believe bungie can produce something just as good, or even better that the Halo franchise, they don't have anything to worry about.
