Reason behind 777!
As we all know Bungie's favorite number is 777. But why is it 777? Today I was thinking about numbers and i remember 777. 7x7x7=? 7x7=49 so 49x7=? 49x7=343! 343 industries! Pretty funny huh!? Let me know what you think.

How comfy is that rock you live under? Maybe it has something to do with bungie being formed on July 7th. You know, 7/7?

Bungie's favorite number is 7. This is because their name has 7 letters i n it. The R is silent.

Yeah, most of the numbers that Bungie create for their games have to do with 7. 343i was made on purpose, and they took their name from the Halo campaign level. I thought we had a [i]few[/i] sensible people in here. Everybody's here for some game called Halo! Needz moar Marathoners. [Edited on 10.14.2011 2:28 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Oresus [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Guscon I always imagines that 343i took their name from 343 Guilty Spark.[/quote] It was probably that, but Spark was in turn given the number 343 because of its relation to 7. So it's both, in a way.[/quote] I always thought 343i took it from Spark which was created using the number 7. Basically the same as stated above.

Has Bungie ever even acknowledged the inspiration of Ringworld, or has it just been fan conjecture? I don't remember them addressing that. Anyway, their "favorite number" isn't 777, it's just plain 7.
-
In Larry Niven's [i]Ringworld[/i], the Ringworld has to spin at a speed of 777 meters a second to preserve it's Earth gravity. Since Bungie was heavily influenced by that book maybe that has something to do with it?
-
well it could be that one of Bungie's head CEOs or founder(s) could have been born on July 7th, but the third 7 I don't know where they got that from. Or it could be completely religious because 777 is supposed to be a christian or catholic symbol for Jesus or god (can't remember which) just like 666 is supposed to be a symbol for Satan. Or maybe someone in bungie is a big gambler and gets 777 on the slot machine a lot. [Edited on 10.14.2011 6:06 AM PDT]
