Re: Carmack comments on Halo... what do you think?
Posted By: Matt <matt@bungie.com>Date: 2/10/00 11:52 a.m.

In Response To: Carmack comments on Halo... what do you think? (Louis Wu)

There are a couple things that spring to my mind after reading that interview and this thread.

1. The interviewer knew who we were, knew what Halo is, and thought it important enough to ask Carmack.

2. Carmack knows who we are and what Halo is, and had complimentary things to say about both.

Believe me, having been here during the pre-Myth years when major gaming mags refused to return our calls and most people said "Bungie who?" if asked about us, such recognition from popular media and peers in the industry is not easy to come by.

The fact that his comments were somewhat guarded isn't a big deal. Lots of people in this industry - even longtime, hardcore game fans - have seen enough smoke and mirrors to be skeptical. Eventually the game will be out there in the world, and people who want to wait and see can make judgments then. We think they'll be favorable.
