Halo Reach - Forge World
Bungie recently took the wraps off the Forge editor at Comic Con for their upcoming title Halo Reach, it is a huge improvement over the previous version included with Halo 3, which was safe to say quite clunky and restrictive. It is now a very clean, very usable editor with fine-tuned controls and a better object collision system allowing for more control over objects and the way they interact with each other.
But what people may not know is that the Halo Community itself wanted this, a long time ago and what a group of hackers achieved in 2004 was a map editor for the original Halo (xBox) – all well before Halo 3′s in-game version which shipped September 25th 2007.
Halo Reach Panoramas and Screenshots

Here are some Panoramas and Screenshots I took from Bungie’s recent Halo Reach Beta. Just a few I didn’t go too crazy with these. When the full game comes out I will take plenty! MjolnirTactics has some amazing full screen Panoramas that put mine to shame, and so does HaLo2FrEeEk which you can see at the end of the post.

Bungie Moving Office or Expanding?
May 8th, 2010 - posted by Snave
According to a new job posting over at bungie.net, there’s a new listing for a ‘Personal Assistant/Gopher’, this may not seem like big news but there is a little tid bit in there that is very interesting.
Poised, professional and mature-minded Assistant/Gopher needed to provide personal support to Studio Head and to assist in the coordination of a major office relocation/move. Duties will include running personal errands for Bungie’s Studio Head, providing transportation services (vehicle provided) and other duties, as needed. Office relocation/move tasks may include, but are not limited to, procuring equipment, supplies and services as needed.
Now are Bungie planning on relocating from their current office in Kirkland, WA? Which was setup during Bungie’s era with Microsoft, or perhaps since their recent deal with Activision they are looking to expand with the recent cash injection to work on the ‘Next Big Title’.
Bungie needs more space and they couldn’t find that in Kirkland – Kirkland’s Economic Development Manager Ellen Miller-Wolfe.
There were talk’s of this in 2008 and Halo.Bungie.org picked up on this as well as other news sources. It was reported then that they were purportedly moving ‘to a former movie cineplex in downtown Bellevue’ – Techflash.
So the move that has been in planning for a while now looks like it is finally coming to fruition! Just like moving house there is no perfect time to move, but with Halo3/ODST firmly out the door, and Reach development winding down would now be the perfect time to move everyone? Then again the other title Bungie is working on is surely in full swing.
Interesting time’s indeed for everyone involved at Bungie Studios!
