In Response To: Long Post..OUCH!!! (Steve Campbell) It's funny as there doesn't seem to be an on-line games culture like Bungie's, if anything they could be seen to be the envy of many developers due to peoples dedication to the stories and its 3rd party culture. The fans seem mature and have a passion for what lies beneath the game as much as is in it, this certainly seems to give off an air of intelect (not meaning to sound pompous!) The positiveness within the groups always seems to outweigh the negative instances, which for the most part are easy to ignore anyhow. It's good too, knowing there are a few of us oldies still about on the battlefields :) I missed out on PiD but still have my M1 diskettes! In fact it's really only since Myth SB came out that the regilion really gripped me and took me to the next level, or is that a higher level;) Still, it's good to see the 'religion' spreading as it is ...rapidly! Nice post steve. : WoW : Someone go get that little boy to put his finger back in the hole because : what just flooded out this week in the way of posts have gotten out of : control and I can't even seem to find my mom to make it stop!!!! : okay , okay! : When you drag this "old man" (me), out to make a post , you know : things have gotten bad. : I will only make one point here. I wont refute or agree or even deny what has : been said on this board. In a way, (biting my tongue), they are all : correct. : Here is the story as I see it! : Bungie started by making games for Mac's. Mac users were few back then and to : us, Bungie became our god! They made games for US! Notice the "US : ", personal touch there. : Making it short here..they made Pathways Into Darkness. Wow..Mac Users had a : game just for US! (PC Users had many..so of course we praised those who : catered to "US") : They made Marathon. By this time we became true believers. We were : supporters, flag waivers and protectors to t he god that called himself : Bungie! : Again , skipping to make it short here. : HyperArchive Northwest and Story Page pops up and now we have a true : Religion. : We have the God -- Bungie; : We have the text for it -- Story Page : and for those that needed extra and special attention... : We have the Revival lectures-- The HyperArchive Northwest : Pardon the analogy here, but, you see Mac users had someone catering just for : them So, hopefully we can begin to see that there is a : "Loyality" here that can best be compared to a Religion : Moving on.... : More Marathon Games....then some Myth games (those of which I still own are : stil in shrink wrap), some of these were games for PC people. : etc.etc.etc.. THEN THE BIG BLAMMMM HAPPENS! : Bungie with no DOUG ZARTMAN--- "ON NO!!" : Bungie at Redman under that Wierd Colored Flag -- OH NO!! : Some leave the "fold" but most of us.,, still hold onto to the : religion that brought us glory all these years. : Now we come to Halo, and you know what? It just doesn't matter. : 1st Person, 3rd Person, tanks...jeeps..wind..water...birds..trees...guns : ..rockets....etc.etc.. : It doesn't really matter. : See..those that post here that just dont' seem to get it , still don't : understand that they are talking to a bunch of people that are going to : support the religion Bungie to the day they stop making games. : It's not that some idea's aren't right as they are posted here. It' s not : that third person, first person shooter..etc..isn't good or bad, It' s : that we have been with the backbone of Bungie since the beginning and in : no way is anyone going to get away with posting a negative comment that is : unfounded. : No offense and no harm intended..but when it comes to Bungie..you are going : to run into this just about everywhere. Heck, look at me. I am 40 years : old and I was part of the group that originally started Bungie Org. I own : the Bungie Org Hotline Server, but I allow the younger sect to run it and : control it. My way of paying respect to that which I will ever be grateful : for. : Look at Claude and Hamish.....all of us are the same age and we continue to : do this to this day. : So, maybe the air is a bit more cleared now. Yes, .most of the posts of : Bungie supporters are correct with their fact postings here, but, more : then that....it's what I just scriptured out. : Bungie is writing the story! GREAT : Bungie is making the game! GREAT : Bungie is still making the game for the Mac GREAT!!! : Nuff Said.. : Sorry for the long rant... : --steve
