Subject: Ask a Network Engineer

Recently, it was requested that we invite a Network Engineer to talk about how you fine people clash in violent concert within the construct of our games. To learn more about this profession, what would you ask someone who practices the discipline?

This is not a Mail Sack. This is a chance for you to learn about a member of our team, what they do, and how they prepared themselves for those career challenges.

Go!

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

What school do you go to and what is your degree?

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."

...What is your salary?
What perks do network engineers get in their jobs?
What are the best and worst things about your job?

What do you do in your "free-time"...assuming you have time to spare?

I ask this question because a lot of people relate what they do in their free-time to what they do professionally in some way. You know like a professional tennis player playing Wii Sports because it has tennis.

Bye.

Have you ever worried about having to do tedious and repetitive activities all day everyday?

I worry about that some times.

Network Engineer? So like, the online aspect of things, right?

What was the first reaction to the Halo: Reach servers crashing before?

Do you feel that a Beta is really beneficial for games at this point? I mean, you've done betas. Don't you already know what to expect?

Los Paranoias

When developing a game, do you work in concert with the programmers and so on in order to find the -blam!-s in the armor of connectivity? Is latency something you are constantly plagued by?



What must you think about when setting up the over all network for a game? Lastly, what is the preferred network setup for a gamer? (Or are there multipul ways to setup my internetz?)

Hello

How did your interview with bungie go?Any memorable moments during it?

  • 07.13.2012 10:59 AM PDT

What's a typical daily routine for you guys? And, what is the most exciting part about your job?

  • 07.13.2012 11:04 AM PDT

<3

well, how did you prepare yourself? What would you have done differently, if anything, to improve your career? (although it might be hard to improve over Bungie)

You are all constructs of my solipsist mind.

What's your most embarrassing memory as a network engineer?

What are some of the best memories you have had while compiling code?
