New Shirt, New Prices, Oh My!
New Shirt, New Prices, Oh My!
The
Bungie Store has been going through some changes lately and the results are finally starting to show. First off, a brand new Halo
T-Shirt is now ready for purchase. This stylish black shirt features the Covenant Elite on the front and is sure to make you the envy of all your friends. However, even bigger news comes in the form of brand new pricing for everything in the store. After much deliberation, we have decided to remove the existing 7th Column discount in favor of a universal discount that can be enjoyed by everyone. By not having to factor in a potential 40% discount on every product, we’ve been able to slash prices across the board to bring you even more bang for your buck. This is but the first of many new and exciting things to happen to the store so be sure to check back often. Happy Shopping!
The Great Debate
The Great Debate
The results of last week's Normal vs. Inverted poll are in and it couldn't have been closer. Normal wins by a hair with 450 votes while 431 of you prefer the Inverted setting. Nevertheless, this debate is sure to rage on for the foreseeable future. Word on the streets is that a couple of Floridian voters misread the poll thus dropping their beloved Inverted setting to last place. Even though Normal took the popular vote, early indications point to Inverted coming out ahead with the electorates.
The Webcam
The Webcam
Some of you may have noticed that webcam was not showing anything for last couple of days. Apparently, the Webmaster got a hold on it and did something unspeakable to it. The point is that it is happily snapping pics again now that the damage has been undone.
Inverted vs. Normal

Next week's poll is up a bit early since the Pentathlon is all wrapped up. Vote now and let us know if you're an inverted or a normal Halo player. The results of the Pentathlon poll are in...

Rock the Vote
Rock the Vote
The results of last week's poll are in and the question of which button setting is most widely used has finally been answered. An overwhelming 77% of you choose to play with the default setting. Boxer came in 2nd with 11% followed by Green Thumb with 5%. Southpaw edged out Jumpy by a single vote but both ended up with 2%. Check out this week's poll and let us know who you think will win this year's Bungie Pentathlon.

And the Bungie Store was in a miserable state. Our holiday present to all of you, however, is two new members of the Online Team, both of whom will be helping stuff the Bungie Store in the future. Though Lorraine has been at Bungie for quite some time, come January she's joining our team. She'll be working together with our other newest team member, Brian, aka
SketchFactor. Sketch has already started a huge
thread in the Underground about the Bungie Store. Feel free to chime in and be sure to welcome our newest team members! Happy holidays!

2 "New" Job Openings
2 "New" Job Openings
We just updated our [url=/Inside/Page.aspx?section=Jobs&subsection=Main&page=1]jobs page[/url] again today. We have brought back the Game Producer position that we recently took down. So- if you were bummed you didn't get the job, you've got a second chance, so don't delay. It seems like every week there's somebody new working here.
Also- We have a new opening for a 2D/3D artist that is very skilled and fluent in Photoshop and 3DSMax. This has been up for a couple of weeks now, but we haven't mentioned it in the news until now.
If you're good and experienced, we want you on the team. Now is your best opportunity to work at Bungie.
The Gallery is Back
The Gallery is Back
If you have perused our Bungie.com website recently, you may have discovered that the screenshot gallery code has been broken since we moved the site to the new server. Thanks to some detective work by Achronos, the code has been fixed with a single character change. Boy, just looking at these makes me want to play Oni again....

In times like this, it's always a pleasure to announce another job opening. I'm happy to say Bungie is seeking a talented [url=/Inside/Page.aspx?section=Jobs&subsection=Main&page=1]physics programer[/url] to join our closely guarded team on their uber-secret project they are developing. <br>If you have experience working with geometry behavior in 3D games and have a brain with a massive left hemisphere, then we've got the position for you.

Our intern and pegboy is up to his shennanigans again. Take a look at the latest installment in today's
Bungie Comic. Loosely based on actual events...
At long last....
At long last....
Since Marathon was released by Bungie over 7 years ago, probably
the most desired feature has been internet play. Although there were hacks like using Netlink Remote to create an AppleTalk connection over the net (not unlike many of the
hacks for online Halo play), it was still a hack.
Now, at the Marathon OpenSource project, our friends that have been diligently making this world a better place have brought you TCP/IP networking to Aleph One,
the Marathon OpenSource project.
Although TCP/IP networking is still in its early stages, it's still usable.(TCP/IP in the OSX version only currently)
I like shiny things!
I like shiny things!
Everybody likes shiny things. We have a brand new set of features coming up tomorrow that, for the sake of argument, we shall say are shiny. They make our site go faster, allow you more sorting options for your databases, and add some behind the scenes spit and polish to the news and forums. Like I said, shiny. However, said updates will cause our site to be unavailable for about 30 minutes, starting at 10:30 am PDT on Thursday morning.

What is it like to work at Bungie? Another comic hits close to home. As Joseph Staten recorded in his article, the trailer was finished before the sound. This was an
actual embellished conversation that took place as Marty reviewed the finished visuals.
