They have A LOT of work to do with the servers and b-net, after working so much with the game they might be taking a much needed break, probably playing the game with the reviewers and others online, enjoying the product of years of hard work and adding the new playlists.

And really they've been so open with everything about the game that at this point anything left to say it's either a surprise or a spoiler.


If only work life were truly like that. As far as I know, people don't get breaks like that. They'll be jumping onto the next concept and game to make asap, with no time wasted. The company isn't likely to go on a big happy vacation. Nintendo never does, after all. =P

Didn't you people hear that Bungie has moved into a new Studio? So they're busy setting up everything in their studio right now and hence can't really update as much.

Dude they are really busy preparing for the game.....would you rather them work on the networking side of Halo Reach so it doesn't crash or do you want them out partying like a rockstar?

A jucy tidbit here and there to keep the juices flowing would be nice.

 

@ cross-x didn't you read the OP?

I've been trying to steer clear from the bungie website and any other Halo news articles for as long as possible. Though I find it strange that I haven't seen any advertising what-so-ever on the tv, at shopping centres or even at the movies (I remember seeing a trailer for ODST last year) here in Australia. 

>_> Halo 3 had an awesome advertisement campaign in aus. 

Just be glad your not in America everytime I turn on the TV I'm reminded reach is falling. They know their fanbase is here so we get it crammed down are throats and the rest of the world gets the sloppy seconds. Still you can find all the advertisments on live so its all good. :)

i thought they are moving to new publisher and mantle is handed over, so we may not hear from them. i doubt they will be on board with acti and at same time work on reach



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

I thought this was about them selling out to Activision.

They have joined the enemy. NO BUNGIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


They can leave if Activision even thinks about doing anything unsavory, it's in the contract!

I'm glad that developers learned to not trust that fishy Kotick and now they protect themselves better...

Why is Bungie so silent about reach, the game is going to release in less than 58 hours, and there have been very few Reach updates on Bungies homepage, you'de think they would be updating like crazy to keep the hype rolling. Or could it be that they are all too busy sitting around in their new castle playing multiplayer O.o



If you read the latest update they are ready to flip the switch on the site for Reach and have shit load of updates in the pipeline like Forge and Firefight tips/guides and also the staff are all over U.S.A and the Globe at launch party's and events before launch.

Building momentum after launch instead of hype before? A kind of marketing that actually benefits gamers concretely? I approve this even though I'm not a Halo fan.
