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?

[quote]What do you think is missing from video games right now?[/quote] Good gameplay in games are missing. It's all about interactive and not some side dish to another medium. although all kinds of mediums are injected in the most beautiful of games. Thanks Marty. Gameplay is king - Gamers game. Games are missing their mojo once they hit a peak of quality and instead of establishing a foothold for that IP change for the sake of change to "keep up with the market" focusing only on sales. Consoles are fundamentally flawed for this very reason and a successful advertising campaign will only make a poor product fail faster. The relentless remakes nobody asks for is testament to this. EA sucks. Forever. Forever EA suckage. Nailing the most potent gameplay flavor of a game series as the first installment is the best thing I feel you can do. And that makes for a beautiful F2P convenience model. The gamers will WANT TO PAY for more once a trusty brand has been established -as soon as Gamers feel they've been shortchanged they will embark on an online crusade against the devs. I believe modding support will be reserved for the best AAA games in the future. What better way to establish permanent relation with your gamer base in the connected age. The internet is an engine of connection. It has been from the start (email, chat, forums, blogs, social media...) One reason that so many of the most popular games are those that permit people to express and expose their ideas in the game's engine is that is what we care most about. The Game's longevity is sealed if fostered right. Instead of denigrating user-generated content (what an obscure way to describe human stories), marketers need to understand that this is what we care about. I don't have to worry about Bungie because you guys make games you want to play. And good taste in games. The game industry needs more Bungie Aerospace!
