That would be utterly awsome. Nothing says "we love our fans" like letting them do your work ;)

Besides, us Halo fans Really need something to do and this would create something constructive(other than arguing the points about the halo's walls, cyborg weapons, release dates and !SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS! ;) Besides, it would allow you guys more time to work on "other" stuff(Like, for example, Halo)

I don't know about that, but I must say that I find the homeworld box quite good.

Having hundreds(well, 10's and 20's ;) of fans working almost simultaniasly on a box would really get a lot of helpful stuff done. And if you guys didn't find a "perfect" box, you'd have all those others to look at, taking the best parts from each and incorperating it into the official box(and giving, maybe, a free Box to each of the people you stole idea's from ;)

Hope this idea gets thrown around by bungie, because it's defintely one helluva way to get the community involved with the company. Besides, it'd be fun. I mean, how many times can you tell people "I'm working on designing the box for a game that will sell millions of copies and put the company on the world map."

/end ass kiss ;)
