where does this go on the bungie page, it is quite confusing as there is no 'games' section only history (Fdsdh1 (talk) 02:09, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: New Bungie game series?

message: Under the "halo and buyout" section it says: Halo's success led to Bungie creating two sequels. Halo 2 was released on November 9, 2004, making more than $125 million on release day and setting a record in the entertainment industry.[20] Halo 3, the final installment in the Halo trilogy, was released on September 25, 2007 and surpassed Halo 2's records, making $170 million in its first twenty-four hours of release[21] and becoming the most pre-ordered game in history.

thread_title: Needs updating

message: Since this will just continue unproductively: there is no reason to replace a raster and definitely low-resolution image with a homemade, derivative SVG which may or may not meet WP:NFCC policy. 'Nuff said. --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 23:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I had posted here on the talk page that you might present your argument, Connor, rather than reverting me... --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 13:25, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It does comply with WP:NFCC. You should know your stuff by now. Connormah (talk) 00:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

text: NFCC criterion 3b: "Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). This rule also applies to the copy in the File: namespace." Can you tell me how you are justified in using a much higher quality SVG that can be scaled to whatever resolution is wished, when we already have raster PNGs of sufficient resolution and quality? --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 01:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox image 

message: I have nominated the PNG for deletion and replaced it with the vector, as with the other million of articles that contain SVG logos. If you have objections or prefer the earlier logo, raise your concerns in the Ffd. Please refrain from reverting and cause a 3RR violation... again. This ain't logo land and we need to decide now which we are going to keep. Perhaps listing one of the images in Ffd might help bring this issue to a solution. ZooFari 04:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: David once again reverts the edit. Normally, I would revert one more time before I get into 3RR trouble, but since I respect everyone's opinion, including David's, then I didn't bother. David seems to lack that type of respect. ZooFari 14:39, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, I don't respect shills. Connor or David should have nominated the file instead of getting a proxy. Take it to the FfD. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 14:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Ffd is just about getting an image deleted. Here we are trying to decide whether or not to use the png or svg, so shunting us off to the Ffd is a bad choice. There are three people here that would like to use the SVG, but your overruling and 3RRs don't allow the SVG to touch this article. Now that I mentioned Ffd, you now decide to push us over there. Now tell me, why didn't you nominate the SVG for deletion since this became such an issue all of a sudden? ZooFari 14:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It hasn't become an issue all of a sudden. I object to editors who know jack about a subject and who have contributed jack to a subject deciding on the styling of that page. Would you like it if I started changing the infobox image of Caribbean hermit crab from :File:Caribbean hermit crab.JPG to :File:Coenobita clypeatus.jpg over everyone else? I'm sorry I don't have a legion of other editors to support my version—this is a comparatively low-traffic article and most of the original authors are no longer actively editing—but it's the principle of the thing. --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So this is about you keeping your work among the others? Even so David, that's not the proper way of dealing with this sort of thing. You've been here long enough to know that. I wouldn't mind the crab image changed but if I really objected, I would go to the talk page and talk about it in a civil way. You did none of that and started an edit war. If the community wants the SVG, just let it go regardless of the policies. ZooFari 15:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What's "my" work? The image isn't my upload; Connor is the one pushing his traced SVGs onto article pages. My point is the community has not decided they "want" the SVG. I've only seen two or three scattered discussions on WP:IUP or similar about nonfree SVGs, but there's never been a significant discussion that involved a good portion of the community besides the usual suspects. I find Levy's assertion at the moment entirely unfounded. If the community had, then someone should have amended NFCC. Also: edit warring is a two-way street. Damning me for reverting to the accepted version before Connor showed up is bull, considering that he did not go to the talk page to discuss (WP:BRD). Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Your example about my crab image makes it look like you have a problem with us replacing an image you made significant contributions to. What is it, the edit you made to it? And FYI, no one decided to use the PNG either but you. You simply revert on us almost ten times (something you assert it isn't 3RR) and then you start being uncivil. I'm not saying you're doing the wrong thing, it's just that you as an admin could do better, instead of creating such argument. And you just admitted yourself: There has never been a significant discussion or guideline about SVG logos, so I remain puzzled on your continous argument.  ZooFari 20:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why does it have to be such a big deal? It is representing the same as the PNG, just in SVG format. As mentioned numerous times, SVGs do not violate WP:NFCC as of now, and there is no reason why it should not be used, other than to satisfy your personal opinion on the non-free SVG issue. You have continued with uncivilty towards myself, and have reverted every single replacement with the SVG. Connormah (talk) 00:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: You guys (I'm looking at you, Davey) were actively monitoring and editing this article months after a major website update without changing the Bungie.net section. Nearly all of the information in the section was completely outdated. 
I'm not interested in a edit war but is there a reason for the removing of my content? If the section originally contained info on the "news" section of the site, or the mentioning of the "Bungie Weekly Updates", both very outdated pieces of material, what did it matter if I replaced them with the sites current "news" section and the sites current version of weekly updates, "Mail Sacks"?
If you guys never go onto the site and know nothing about what you are editing then, as hard as it may be to see content that is not yours, leave it up to somebody who actively participates in the community. Instead of replacing content with one single sentence because you aren't familiar with it and you didn't write it keep it there for the benefit of the doubt since you know nothing of the site. Also, any justification of the reversion? You should check up on the help section in regards of reverting bro. Was that vandalism to you? Also, no abbreviations.

message: Article incorrectly states that the Myth II recall debacle happened around the same time as the Microsoft purchase. In fact it happened two years earlier during Myth II's release, and did not affect only Asian versions of the game but all Windows uninstallers under the wrong circumstances. The cost of the recall led in large part to Bungie selling a ~20% share of themselves to Take Two, which is subsequently the reason why Take Two got Myth and Oni when Microsoft bought the rest of Bungie. --Pfhorrest (talk) 07:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Earlier this month, one editor removed from the "Developed games" section any platforms that Bungie games were ported to by other studios, in this edit. Someone just added back the ported platforms for the original Halo, but not for the other games that were ported to platforms by third parties. I reverted the edit simply because I thought we should be consistent. What is the consensus on this? Do we want to list all the platforms that each game runs on, or just the platforms that Bungie developed the game for? I don't see a prior discussion on this in the talk page archives. --Iritscen (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I hadn't seen your message since I've only attached to the page a couple weeks ago. We usually handle ports by also listing them in developer's infoboxes as all the sweat and tears they put into those projets alto presists in ports, since another company only put effort on top of it and did not replace the old game. This is contrary to derivative games (e.g. Game Boy titles developed alongside console games by another company), which we do not include. Lordtobi (✉) 08:55, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I see. I can restore the ported platforms then. I thought it would be confusing for the reader since there are a lot of additional platforms that Bungie games have been ported to. 1994's Marathon is the most extreme example, having been open-sourced and "freewared" by Bungie around 2000, and then fan-ported to iOS, Windows, Linux, and macOS 10. Should we not mark the ports in some way as having been done later by third parties? I looked around a bit and could not find a similar situation on another developer's page to use as a reference. --Iritscen (talk) 12:54, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

message: I was recently reverted with the claim of "original research" for adding that Gnop referred to itself as a Bungie game in its own About Box, with a screenshot of said game as a source. What more reliable source than a screenshot from the game itself can be supplied about what the game itself says about itself? I have Gnop myself, off the Marathon Trilogy Box Set CD. It's freeware, so I can share that with the other editors here if they want to get an old Mac emulator running and take a look themselves, but I don't see how that's going to be any more reliable than me looking at it myself. (I did not in fact take that screenshot myself, because I thought that would be less reliable than one already hosted elsewhere). I also provided a citation to an actual print publication (the Marathon Scrapbook, published by Bungie themselves in 1997) for the claim that Bungie themselves called it their first game, in materials much closer to the event than the present ones that disavow it. I doubt anyone here is going to go out and find a copy of the Scrapbook, so I can handily provide a photo from my copy. You can also find scans of the Scrapbook elsewhere on the internet, or buy a copy off of eBay if you really want, if you're so paranoid that you think I'd doctor a photo or screenshot. This is not original research, this is verifiable historical fact -- you can look at the product itself to confirm what it says about itself, if you care to actually put in the effort -- and I don't understand the weird crusade to erase that from history in the contemporary Bungie fandom. I'm restoring the addition. --Pfhorrest (talk) 16:57, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
