The Eltivo Gala

The **Eltivo Gala** is massive gala hosted by the powerful Eltivo Family at The Eltivo Manor in Cloud Top's Brilliant district. It is perhaps the most important social event in all of Skyreach. The families of the extraordinarily wealthy and important all have permanent invitations, while unusual and interesting celebrities are invited as entertainment - potentially including adventurers.

Due to this happening on the same recurring date of The Trials of Talahad at The Colosseum, the Gala often participates in the crowd to enjoy the show. They often invite the winning team to the Gala as further incentive to win.

343 Industries

**343 Industries,** often abbreviated colloquially as "343i," is a video game developer wholly owned by Microsoft Corporation and responsible for taking over the Halo Universe of games (including both already-released games as well as development of future Halo titles, books, comic books, and other media) following the completion of Bungie's relinquishment of control over the Halo Universe on March 31, 2012.

## History

343i was established in Kirkland, Washington in late 2007 by Microsoft as Bungie Inc.'s employees bought ownership of Bungie back from Microsoft. Because Microsoft retained ownership of the rights to the Halo Universe, 343i was created by Microsoft to oversee the development of future Halo titles, books, comic books, and other media.

In 2008, former Bungie employee Frank O'Connor (Frankie) was named to head up 343i, leaving Bungie and taking the title of "Franchise Director" for 343i, overseeing all projects. A few other former Bungie employees joined 343i as well.

## Projects

343i's first project was Halo Waypoint, a stat-tracking application for the XBox 360 and Windows Phone that allows players to view a variety of statistics, fileshare items (such as screenshots and in-game videos), and other media for all Halo games.

343i has also overseen the publication and production of numerous Halo-related books, graphic novels, comic books, toys, and media.

343i is released its first full-feature video game, Halo 4, a heavily marketed AAA-caliber title which released on November 6, 2012.

343i has released Halo: The Master Chief Collection, on November 9th, 2014 (like wise for Halo 2's 10th birthday). It included Halo Combat Evolved, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Campaign only, Halo Combat Evolved original Multiplayer online for the 1st time, Halo 2, Halo 2 original Multiplayer on console for the 1st time in years, Halo 2 Anniversary Multiplayer (7 remastered maps) and ports of Halo 3, and Halo 4.

343i is also releasing another game, Halo 5: Guardians, in late 2015.

## Trivia

* Franchise Director Frank O'Connor (Frankie) is a former Bungie employee
* Former video game blogger and Bungie Community member Jessica Shea (bs angel) joined 343i in September, 2010 as its Community Manager
* At the 2011 Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), 343i coordinated and directed HaloFest, a massive exhibition and convention containing numerous pieces of Halo history, panels with the creative and technical minds behind the Halo games, and gaming stations for attendees to play old and new Halo games

## Biography

I was born. I grew up. I learned. I lived. I loved. Now here I am.
Chicago

`“*It smelled like a frat house after a really long weekend.*”`

`~ **Marty O' Donnell on Bungie's first Chicago offices**`
`“*It was in the middle of some pimp-laden, infested, drug-horrible place in the south side of Chicago.*”`

`~ **Marty O' Donnell on the location of Bungie's first Chicago offices**`
Someone once said that *everything has to start somewhere*. (Who that was is unknown at the time of this writing, but in terms of originating the most overused cliches in history, he's got to be near the very, very top pinnacle of that profession.) This saying holds especially true for Bungie, who originated in the depths of the south side of Chicago.

In 1991, Bungie's only two employees were Alex Seropian and Jason Jones. Throughout the development of Gnop!, Minotaur, Pathways Into Darkness and Bungie's other early games, the duo had their headquarters in a musty and decrepit girls' religious school. When the T1 Internet connection broke down, they were forced to search the entire building over for it, so that the AT&T tech was nearly ready to give up looking by the time Jason Jones broke down the door to the basement.

While searching the basement, the connection-hunting brigade stumbled upon a mass of ancient student desks and the much-cited Bungie Swimming Pool of Death: a dilapidated swimming pool with a clear six inches to a foot of sludge in the bottom. Eventually the T1 line was found in an abandoned boiler room with so much corrosion that it flaked off the walls.

The Bungie team later moved up to the north side of Chicago(at 350 West Ontario Street, 7th floor, Chicago, IL 61610) near the O' Donnell - Salvatori recording studio that later burned down (for more on this, please see the Total Audio Studios article). After that sad event, Marty eventually became a full-time employee of Bungie, and ten days after that, in May of 2000, Bungie was acquired by Microsoft.
Alta Hartmann

**Alta Hartmann** was one of the so-called "Bungie Princesses" of Bungie Studios. This is because she was one of only two female employees who worked full-time at Bungie Studios during the release of *Halo 2.* She worked in administration for the company, balancing its' checkbook, assisting Bungie partners in writing out their contracts, and ensuring that everything outside the development of projects was running smoothly.

She was born in Wenatchee, Washington, USA in 1979. She was hired to her job at Bungie in mid 2002, as part of the staff increase in preparation for the development and release of Halo 2. She has a 2000 Silver Toyota 4Runner she named "Sassafrass." She was credited as "Bungie Princess" for Halo 2.

What she had to say about working at Bungie:

`*"One of two full time female employees at Bungie, I love the constant harassment and take it like a real, uh, woman. Most of the time I am caught between being the little sister and one of the guys. I truly love my job here and every last one of these crazy guys. They each have their own quirky personalities that I have come to embrace over the last year since I joined the team. I started out the UW as a Speech Communication undergrad and then moved into recruiting after graduation. Not finding my true calling or passion there, I had an opportunity to interview here and walked in the door and it was "love at first site."..I think for all of us, at least I like to hope so. These 65 guys and our wonderful Lorraine have brought out things in my personality I didn't know were even there. I have learned so much about myself and have had more fun in this job than I have in any other. I look forward to many more laughs and memories here at Bungie. Thanks for making me your Princess!"*`

In July 2007, she left Bungie studios to "brave the adult world of Corporate America." Hartmann did not say where her next job would be, only that she would not "stray too far from Bungie studios," and that she would take a job where she would have to "dress like an adult." Her position on the Bungie staff was filled by a "new" Bungie Princess, Davina Chan. She had an interview with Luke Timmins that appeared on the Bungie Weekly Update her last week of working for Bungie.

Jason Regier

**Jason Regier** is a former employee of Bungie Studios. He was hired in March 1996 and worked on *Marathon Infinity*, *Myth: The Fallen Lords* and *Myth II: Soulblighter* as a programmer. After completing *Marathon Infinity* with Alex Seropian, Regier ported *Marathon* and *Marathon 2: Durandal* into a combined title, *Super Marathon* for Apple's Pippin platform before moving on to the *Myth* series.

Regier left Bungie amicably in 1998, as the company's main studio was in Chicago at the time and he did not want to leave California. He presently works at Blizzard and was the lead programmer of *Diablo III*.

 **Group Link** | {{{Group Link}}}

## General

The purpose of this group(before the fighting between the admins of the group caused it to become a "dead group") was to discuss Halo 3's upcoming campaign.

## Group History

Earths Battle Field is a group that was founded by Simon 5000. It has (suggested by it's name) been a bit of a battlefield. TheLightOfSpeed took it over. It then became a democracy. TOM T 117, SIMON 5000's arch-enemy took over the group and gave the control back to SIMON 5000 who booted Tom T 117 and transformed the group into a "museum" where nobody can do anything but view old threads.

Jessica Shea (bs angel)

File:FomanAndHawty.JPG
## History and Summary

Jessica Shea (known online as bs angel) is the Community Manager for 343 Industries, the Microsoft-owned game developer responsible for managing the Halo universe and developing future Halo titles.

Prior to joining 343 Industries, Shea was a well-known and well-regarded Halo 3 and video game blogger (Hawty McBloggy), as well as a well-known member of the Bungie Community and frequent poster on Bungie.net. Shea shut down her popular video game blog in September 2010 as she joined 343i, and since joining, her presence in the online Bungie Community is rare.

As a blogger, Shea engaged her readers and fanbase in numerous screenshot, montage, photoshopping, and other contests, occasionally being permitted to award winners with Recon Armor and other Bungie swag. Her popularity grew with time. Her daily readership number varied, but her 2008 "Best of Halo" Awards program received over 13,000 votes and over 350 nominations. At the time that she shut down her blog, her dedicated forum boasted nearly 400 members.

Shea is an annual attendee at PAX, where she meets and greets community members, signs autographs, and manages 343 Industries' PAX booth.

Bungie Jumpers

**Group Link** | {{{Group Link}}}

## Description

The jumpers is one of the oldest active b.net groups, founded by GameJunkieJim and Josher 35. While it has a high member count, it has a low count of actually active users. However, it is generally a place for intelligent discussion. In GameJunkieJim's absence, The Jumpers is currently run by Shai Hulud, Josher 35, and MCsBrother.

## Controversy

Bungie Jumpers has, in the past, been associated with the culture of elitism within Bungie.net as many new Forum Ninjas have been active members within Bungie Jumpers. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, new moderators have not always been active members of the public forums, giving rise to accusations that moderators are being selected and promoted by their friendships with the current moderator team, rather than their actual merit as a member of the "public" community.
Chapter 1

The **first chapter, Beginnings,** begins a new campaign set in the year 971 YS in the world of Vaseres. The campaign predominantly takes place on the continent of Hasania.

The new party members first meet in the vibrant town of Menagerie, but they quickly become involved in an attack from another realm.

Elitism

In regards to the Bungie Forums Elitism is seen as anyone who deems themselves of a higher stance then those surrounding them. Whenever this issue is raised on the forums two clear groups; The Frozen Minority and The Bungie Jumpers appear in sync. Being accepted into these groups is generally quite difficult which has a tendency to raise elitism issues to the forefront of forum posting.

'Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite—a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes—are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.[1] Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of the elite. Those opposed to elitism are considered supporters of anti-elitism, populism or the political theory of pluralism. Elite theory is the sociological or political science analysis of elite influence in society - elite theorists regard pluralism as a utopian ideal.'

Altarius Mynteres

Eladrian Mynteres

Kalazar Mynteres

## Chapters

**Altarius Mynteres** is an elf wizard. He currently resides in the Sanctum of Sages in Skyreach. He was previously the Archmage of the Bulwark.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Altarius is one of the older members of the Arcane Conservatory. He has lines across his delicate features. His gaze often does not focus directly on what he is looking at, but rather seems to look through you. His silver-white hair is cut short, and he sports a short, finely groomed beard.

### **Personality**

In days past he was driven and sought to protect those around him. Now, he is more of a daydreamer, always in his own head about something. To have a sensible conversation with Altarius is something of a task, as he is prone to redirect conversation in unexpected ways.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

When he was the Archmage of the Bulwark, he detected some sort of anomaly and went to investigate. When he returned, he seemed different. The rest of the Conservatory was only able to determine that he succeeded in stopping whatever he sought out to defeat, though he seemed to lose his mind in the process. Through much goading and discussions, the prominent members of House Mynteres were able to convince him to pass his Mark of Order on to his underling, Fel'dagon Myrron, as they no longer saw him fit to be in his position of authority.
Claude Errera (Louis Wu)

 File:WuAvatar.PNG

## Real Life

Louis Wu is the master of antics and trickery over at HBO, Bungie.org's Halo-specific branch. Managing a Halo board without a run-of-the-mill moderator staff would ordinarily be a challenge that even Senor Leche would cringe at. However, the HBO forum generally handles herself pretty well, with the assistance of KP and the mysterious Badmin.

Louis Wu's real name is Claude Errera. He is known to host the occasional LAN party at his home in the remote rainforests of Connecticut, which are attended by Bungie fans and even some employees on occasion.

Louis Wu's most recent community project has been the Halo 3 Zune giveaway, which featured four submission categories and tons of machinima.

## Bungie.net Life

Louis Wu joined Bungie.net on 11/16/2001. While not particularly active on Bnet, Louis Wu is very active managing his website HBO.

Louis Wu's Bnet Profile

KP's Intervwu

Louis Wu's HBO Profile
July 8, 2007

A major Bungie.net incident occurred on July 8, 2007, or the day after Bungie Day. It is believed Logical Thinking gained access to the Forum Ninja account Pezza, which belonged to the moderator now known as Pezz. This was done using a MySpace phisher linked to the pictures of a young girl who had less than lady like photos on her account. When trying to gain access to these photos the page asked Pezz for his user information, which he provided.

After gaining access to the account Logical Thinking released the information to the other members of SbK and other members of bungie.net. After a large number of users logged on, Logical Thinking changed both the password and recovery information to prevent a return of the account without his consent. This, combined with the timing of the attack, allowed it to go on for hours. With 12 users(the max allowed to be on one account at one time) all simultaneously editing threads, banning users, deleting content, screen shotting HFCS, etc. the attack managed to lock pages of forums, ban hundreds of users(including all of the moderators), and make edits to many of the sticked threads throughout the community. Edits included changing links in stickies to meatspin, rick roll, and other sites, changing threads to make insulting comments about the OP, and generally insulting the moderating staff at bungie.net.

In the time immediately following this, Bungie began a campaign to show that all was well, with threads saying that the account had been banned, that there were no more problems, etc. But the user again began posting on another user's account. This time the account taken was M3 Rokit. His account was used to show that he hadn't indeed been stopped and that in fact there was very little Bungie or Microsoft could do about the issue. To further drive home this point, the user escalated the incident to credit card fraud by charging hundreds of dollars to the owner of M3 Rokit's credit card.

It is believed Logical Thinking has been involved in other incidents such as the hacking of both Camouflage's girlfriend's MySpace and gamerzgirl's myspace, however no charges have been filed on any of the incidents.
Letters to the Webmaster

**Letters to the Webmaster** were a series of letters (emails) that were sent to Bungie from the community and answered by the Bungie Webmaster.

The initial round of letters to the Webmaster were quite formal - straight questions with straight answers. It wasn't until late June 1996 that the Webmaster revealed something of his true form. More than likely, this is when the Webmaster began drinking.

Jason Jones

The reclusive **Jason Jones** co-founded the computer game company Bungie Software Products Corporation with Alex Seropian in 1991. He has worked actively on most of the games created by Bungie and generally has major role in the development of Bungie's titles. Jason has worked taken a the role of Lead Programmer in some of Bungie's earlier games, but has stepped back into higher managerial positions for Bungie's more recent titles.

It was revealed on Bungie.net that in Penisinal months of Halo 3's crunch all of the mission designers played through their levels in the company of Jason Jones. He then offered feedback and criticisms to help the designers with completing their missions.

Although no official announcements have been made by Bungie or Microsoft, Harold Ryan said in an interview with Game Informer that: *"We're not saying alot about the project. There is a new game that [Bungie Co-Founder] Jason [Jones] has been working on for some time, off and on. It's a new IP from us that will be coming out after the next couple of years."*  This, along with another Harold Ryan interview has led many people to believe that Jason Jones is currently acting as Project Lead on another project within Bungie Studios.
In Marathon 2: Durandal, he also played the role of Robert Blake in Terminal Pictures.

His picture was also hidden in the Halo 3 level called "Floodgate," as a missing person sign. The sign specifies his eye color, hair color, hight, and weight. to find the sign, as quoted by haloeastereggs.net,"Play the level until you reach a dead brute who had a gravity hammer and near it is a dead marine who had a SMG. Above the marine is an opening in the wall. Go into this opening with your flashlight on. On the ground you will see a MISSING note. It appears to be a bungie employee that cannot be found."

### The Leadership

The president and CEO of Certain Affinity is Max Hoberman. Max is a long-time Bungie veteran who left the company to fulfill his dream of starting his own game studio. While he was at Bungie, Max supervised the development of pretty much everything: the entire online system, maps, gameplay, user interface, and multiplayer elements.
Hoberman is currently working with Paul Issac (Engineering Lead), David Bowman (Lead Designer) and Martin Galway (operations manager and audio director, as well as the authority on all things British), as well as a complement of artists and designers from many other corners of the gaming world such as Bungie, Microsoft, Red Storm, Origin, EA, Digital Anvil, and NCSoft.

### Bungie's Media Coverage

Sketch supplied us with an interview with Max just recently. (If you want to read the full article, it is here.) Basically, Max outlined what the improvements to the new maps would be, and he touched on the situation of CA. He mentioned that there were several maps that were being considered at the start, but the field was eventually narrowed down to two maps.
### First Step: New Halo 2 Maps

Certain Affinity has recently taken a first step toward their future: the design and development of two brand-new maps for Halo 2. Well, not exactly brand-new. One of the maps, Tombstone, is in fact a reincarnation of the popular Halo 1 MP map Hang 'Em High. The other map, Desolation, is the next generation of Halo 1's Derelict: featuring more detail, more symmetry and a cool-looking grav-lift. There's also audio evidence of monkeys.
Beyond the basic geometry and layout of the maps, the only thing that will change significantly is the starting weapon sets and improved connectivity.
### In The Future

Certain Affinity is working on an independent title right now. Little else is known about this project except that it has a very promising team working on it. They also aided in porting Valve's FPS, Left 4 Dead, to the Xbox 360.

Bungiepedia:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, **administrators** can access a few additional functions.

* Deleting and undeleting pages and page histories. Administrators can also delete uploaded files, but cannot undelete them.
* Locking (protecting) a page so it can not be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

A **bureaucrat** can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. They are not currently able to remove admin access from any user. Please contact one of the community staff if you need this done.

Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see the Central Wikia contact page for details on how to contact Wikia staff.

## Who are this wiki's administrators?

The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listadmins.

## List of Bungie Wiki Administrators

### Former

* **BL4H00G4N4** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)
* **Gzalzi** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)
* **SS Zag1** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)
* **Foman123** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)
* **Bobcast** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)
* **ARBITOR 5** (talk) (contribs) (e-mail)

## How do I use administrator powers?

See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

## Becoming an administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikias, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "Bungie Wiki:Requests for adminship". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator, please contact the community staff on the Central Wikia.

## What can administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be use to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Idealy an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

## Plot

The protagonist of the game, Nick Vrenna, has been unjustly incarcerated in a prison where the staff are performing unethical medical experiments upon the inmates. A prison riot occurs and an experiment goes horribly wrong. The people inside the prison - except for Nick, who seems to be immune - get infected with a substance called Abuse that transforms them into monsters. Nick takes a laser gun and goes on to single-handedly destroy all mutants, stop the substance from spreading further, and escape from the prison complex.

Halo Chronicles

**Halo Chronicles** was the name of filmmaker's now-cancelled Halo game. It was going to feature a marine as the main protagonist where the marine would acquire Covenant technology that would attach to their arm. Players would go through an emotional and gameplay journey from being a regular human to a modified human, with the body actually changing to fit the technology.

## Gameplay

You were able to switch into this completely different combat mode, where the only way you could do damage was through a powerful melee attack. Players would have had two hand weapons. One would push enemies away from you, and the other stunned them where they were. You also had a double jump and an auto-aimed long distance dash that you could do from the air.

The first five missions of Halo 3 were rebuilt just to see how they would play with this prototype, including no shields. Because the player would be weaker than the Master Chief, the AI was changed so that less enemies would engage the player.

Eventually, the player would become a Promethean.

## Trivia

* These concepts would be incorporated into *Halo 3: ODST* (marine with no shields), and *Halo 4-5*, and Halo Infinite (Prometheans).
* Neill Blomkamp would take the idea of a human wearing alien technology and turning into an alien by creating the movie, *District 9*.

Bungie Survey Beta

## About the Survey

 File:Bungiesurveylogo.jpg
Bungie has a Beta Survey in which Members of Bungie.net can help Bungie make their games better, the introduction to the survey is below:

*This is the signup page for our Bungie Beta Testers program. By participating, you will arm us'with insightful information about your game playing habits to help up make our next game even better. You're also putting your name in the hat for a limited chance to learn about and play our next game before anyone else (no promises).*

## Survey Beta e-mails

On the 1st of March 2011 the Bungie Survey Beta e-mails were sent out because at first you could only fill in the Survey if you received an e-mail from them. Not everyone got an e-mail, bungie says the e-mails were sent out at random.

## Survey Problems

At first the Bungie Survey wasn't live therefore many members began to think it was a hoax. The message read as follows:

"*Sorry, but the survey Bungie Beta Tester Signup Survey v2 is not currently live, so you cannot take it at this time. Click here to launch the survey. If you believe you received this message in error, please contact the survey administrator: playtest@bungie.com*"

The survey had ended up down as so many members all tried to load it, in fact no one actually managed to load the survey. Due to the high traffic flow of users the servers couldn't handle it so Bungie had to take it down. If you tried to open the survey you got a error message. Bungie had a few different versions of the error message which were updated every few hours:

### **Error Message 1**

"*Well, you certainly did your worst! We had to kill the survey for the time being. Don't worry, we'll be back and you'll get another chance. If you feel like ranting email: playtest@bungie.com*".

### **Error Message 2**

"*We have had to suspend the survey for the moment due to technical difficulties. Don't worry, it'll be back soon and you'll get another chance to fill it out. You have not missed anything. If you feel like ranting email: playtest@bungie.com*"

### **Error Message 3**

"*We have had to suspend the survey for the time being due to technical difficulties. You have not missed anything, and we will contact you again when the survey is back up. Relax, go play some Halo. playtest@bungie.com*"

## Survey live

In the end the Survey was available to everyone because it was added to Bungie's Website under the Games tab.

It’s about sailors and eternal damnation.

## Biography

After 5 years at Oberlin College and Conservatory (BM/MMT) and 5 years of teaching I stumbled into games. 12 years in this freakin' industry and it seems I'll never learn. I equate finishing a game with women having a child (hear me out ladies) in the sense that if we actually remembered how painful it was we would never ever do it again. But here I am a couple dozen titles (and two children) later and still enjoying myself. Props to my wife, Seattle actress Heather Hawkins, and two beautiful children for putting up with all the gaming (it's research guys!) and long hours
