The Halo You Never Knew
WORDS BY: Dan Amrich
Forge Was a Last-Minute Idea
Forge didn’t come into existence until six months before Halo 3 shipped, but it was intriguing enough that enough people wanted to do the extra work to bring it to life. “We had to cut some small UI features to make it happen,” admitted Murray, but with two or three people dedicated to making it work, it was in for ship.
Bungie's Office Isn't Really Made Up of Offices
The studio’s floorplan is an open environment. “There are no walls — you can stand up and see everyone in the studio, and all our desks are on wheels,” said Murray. This not only encourages a team spirit, but also lets different employees gravitate to wherever they’re needed most — with the multiplayer art team, the campaign programmers, wherever — at any given time. Over the years, Murray’s moved his desk an estimated 30 times.
Polish Is Non-Negotiable
Every person at Bungie takes two to four weeks at the end of their work cycle purely to polish what they’ve created. No new content is added, and Murray said the time is not there as “a contingency plan” — it’s all simply refinement of what is already there. In our opinion, it shows.
