juices hired?Hey You said:Anyone who frequents BNet may have noticed Shishka aka Chad Armstrong no longer posses the Bungie Employee Gold Bar and Text.
I hope this won't effect MM updates and such.

If shishka did leave, and it isn't a mistake I hope it was under mutual, good terms. I never like to see a Bungie employee leave, and it would be 10x more awkward if it were under questionable circumstances.Letters said:Never really payed much attention to that forge objects pic, just now noticing the tiny spartan, the dice, and the random vehicles here and there. Some of these pieces are enormous.

I'm picturing juices opening a bottle of champagne as he reads that

Lazslo said:So this is going to be Bungie's first Halo game with a full development cycle without some sort of ARG. Halo: CE had the Cortana letters, H2 had 'I love bees' and H3 had Iris. I can't believe there isn't some form of Viral marketing for Reach, it's really disappointing. Even ODST had that website with those actors playing the ODST's in a briefing. I wish they hired the group/company that did the Sadie Story, it's not like Microsoft couldn't afford it. There is however still time for something to start on the Viral Marketing front, it's just a shame nothing is happening yet. I was really looking forward to something like Iris, and with the amazing writing talent at 343 these days, it just seems like a massive missed opportunity.
It's also seems like nobody really cares either, there hasn't really been any mention on the interwebs of the lack of an ARG for Reach. I though more people would be upset for sure.

Yeah, it's too bad.Lazslo said:So this is going to be Bungie's first Halo game with a full development cycle without some sort of ARG.

If I had to guess he's getting a new Bnet title like "Forge Overseer." At least I hope they're not spreading him as thin as they did in Halo 3 where he didn't have the time to both update playlists and review community content.big ander said:I'm guessing somebody accidentally flipped a switch and/or pushed a button and/or pulled a lever.

I was listening to an IGN Podcast (with Louis Wu? I think?) and they were saying that ARGs aren't necessarily the most effective method of marketing, as it is hard to see how much attention it actually brings to the game. Also, they tend to typically attract the hardcore fans who will already be buying the game anyway, so there may not be a point in it.
The discussion went something like that, anyway. Regardless of my potentially inaccurate paraphrasing, the logic seems to be... logical.
Yeah it would be a great job for him at 343i and very beneficial for us- someone with good experience always updating and refreshing hoppers. He could focus on putting community maps into matchmaking alot better and faster then what happened in H3 all while letting Bungie focus exclusively on their next big thing:EazyB said:I would be very surprised if Shishka went to 343 (assuming he no longer works at Bungie which I'm very skeptical about).

No jumping to conclusions here.Dirtbag said:Why would you jump to that conclusion? The project just wrapped, they are moving to a new building. I'm sure plenty people move onto new jobs at times like these.
That may be the case if he left last week. The playlists have been acting up for a while now.LunaticPuma said:Maybe Shishka knocked over a server on his way out...
uhhh whateverMajor Williams said:No jumping to conclusions here.
I'm skeptical he even left because I don't see how not having a bungie icon next to his name on an internet forum means he doesn't work there anymore... and I'm sure if Shiska was leaving Bungie would probably announce it in sendoff style. Has nothing to do with Reach what so ever. These projects are grueling affairs, I wouldnt be surprised to see any of them tap out at projects wrap and get back to their families, friends, lives.And I would have agree with Eazy - I'm skeptical he even left, being as important as he was to Reach and the continued support he is likely to give.
Edit: And there's still time for an ARG and I am crossing my fingers. It wouldn't be Bungie's last hurrah without it IMO.
All Bungie Halo games = ARG for greatness.
I'm pretty sure Bungie doesn't like to advertise when they fire/someone quits.Dirtbag said:u

Yeah, with an awesome Frankie photoshop contest :lolRamirez said:Did they give a farewell to Frankie?

Dani said:Even with Birth of a Spartan, Reach's marketing is certainly different. The marketing companies behind previous Halo games won plenty of awards and accolades for their work. Doubting we'll see a repeat of that this time around.

I do hope so, hype in the general hardcore scene seems somewhat tepid in comparison to this time in Halo 3 (and even to an extent ODST).OuterWorldVoice said:Hasn't really started yet.
