Bungie sharing their Halo: ODST GDD in Publications?
I have been surfing around the net for any help on becoming a Game Designer. That is until I rediscovered the Game Design Document. As a aspiring Game Designer it is necessary for me to understand and know how to make a Game Design Document. So I was wondering if Bungie is willing to share their Halo ODST Game Design Document for educational purposes.
I know that Bungie has left Halo but I do think they would have the Game Design Doccument for ODST(correct me if I'm wrong). Everyone has a different way of making a Game Design Document but I would like it for reference and as a example. Is this impossible to ask for or is Bungie willing to share it?
[i]Note to Ninjas: Am I in the right forum for this kind of thread since it has to do with Bungie? Please message me if it isn't. Thank you.[/i]

No doubt that Bungie still has everything "Halo" in their possession... we wouldnt see it still all over the website and that more than likely includes all the pages and pages of code that they wrote with all artwork as well. I dont know the actual law abiding agreement that they have with Microsoft, but it would make sense that they are free to use any of the franchise content as long as it is not for any type of monitory gain. They did create the massive universe that we know and love still to this day. As far as asking for use of the GDD... you COULD go through Bungie, but I doubt they will be able to help you, because that would probably fall within the guidelines of distributing Microsoft content. It is something you would definitely have to go to Microsoft for and they would probably deny you... 343i might help but they would have to be clever about it and post in somewhere hard to find on their website. Your best bet would be to scour the internets some more and hope you come across it... but you will probably be better off just researching schools to attend.
