Reverse Mail Sack.

Okay, Bungie Community. You asked for the spotlight. Don't melt in its rays. Below are questions submitted by the developers who spend as much time wondering about you as you do about them. [u]Suggested Guidelines[/u]: Please post in this thread only once. Failure to honor this request will result in forfeiture of your privilege to participate (or worse). I would recommend only answering the questions that really speak to you. Don't force this. I'll be looking for humor or sage wisdom that could benefit us all. And, more than a sentence or two will be heavily edited or ignored completely. No monologing. Have a ball! Oh, and QUOTE the questions you are answering. The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Most of humanity has already fallen to the hordes of flesh-eaters. You have survived because of your ingenuity, cat-like reflexes, and dashing good looks. As you travel in search of food, you find a grizzled old man who offers to give you a powerful weapon. Now is your chance to make a difference in this battle against the undead. You can choose any one weapon, real or fictional. What do you choose and why? What do you think is missing from video games right now? Which do you think makes a better e-sport: DOTA, League of Legends, or Starcraft 2? Why? Top Five MCs? (That stands for Master of Ceremonies, not Master Chief. Please answer in the form of five [b]YouTube links[/b].) How and when did you first fall in love with Halo? Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an [b]iconic image[/b] from that movie) Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online? What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year? If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be? Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why? [Edited on 09.18.2012 9:40 AM PDT]

  • What do you think is missing from video games right now? [b]The option to play the game how I want to play it. For decades before, we've had Mods in PC games & Console games that provided the user with 10 different ways to complete a segment of a level, cite [a Bungie game] Halo: CE Assault On The Control Room - that particular level could be completed 100 different ways. However, compare this to many of [a bungie game] Reach's levels that (while better looking, obviously) felt like they could only be completed one or two ways before you've played it fully. There has certainly been a degrading in depth of what you can do in Single Player in the majority of games, likely because of one key reason - Multiplayer. [/b] Which do you think makes a better e-sport: DOTA, League of Legends, or Starcraft 2? Why? [b]Have never looked into any E-Sport enough to answer the question.[/b] Top Five MCs? (That stands for Master of Ceremonies, not Master Chief. Please answer in the form of five YouTube links.) [b]Not something I partake in[/b]. How and when did you first fall in love with Halo? [b]The first moment the first menu opened & the first theme began, that was when it began. Not much else I can say, other than what solidified my interest in it for the next decade was the incredible final few levels & the chemistry between the Chief & Cortana in these levels, along with a fantastic soundtrack & an ending sequence that left me wanting to play it 1000 times more.[/b] Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an iconic image from that movie) [b]It would have to a story in the sort of Anarchy genre of V For Vendetta, a story of one innocent person in a facist state caught up in something they have nothing to do with, eventually deciding to join up with some sort of group & eventually leading the whole country [world?] on a revolt. Would be incredible if done right. [url]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hjJQ_ge4NzU/T1yTKLUvagI/AAAAAAAAALs/FETjydVgBNU/s1600/V_for_Vendetta-thumb-560xauto-41210.jpg[/url][/b] PS. If anybody has any films like this, drop me a message. Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? [b] Not marketing the game to people under the game's age rating. Providing the mature gaming community with a gripping story & competitive, mature multiplayer will still make your game sell millions & will leave behind a positive legacy for your writers & your company. Unsporting behaviour will always be around, as will harassment - however there's a reason that it's basically non-existent on games like Arma 2 whereas it's rampant on CoD, one targets a mature, core audience whereas one targets to total mass market. Hitting a sweet spot in the middle satisfies core gamers & your bosses.[/b] What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online? [b]I find that strangers who have particular roles in the team which allows me to do my thing & work like cogs in a well oiled machine are the most positive to play with. Providing incentives to people to do this works well [Guild Wars 2 is a good example in the sense that it's been marketed to the masses, but the community is so teamwork focussed because the game is structured to reward it].[/b] What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year? [b]This year? Skyrim. No question.[/b] If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be? [b]You're probably nothing special, but you really could be[/b]. Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why? [b] Ape Escape, that game is the only one I rate above CE. I love it to this day. [/b] [Edited on 09.20.2012 3:55 PM PDT]
