Quote
"Even though I love writing music, I love making games too."
"There are some other guys out in the Seattle area that have found themselves free from former encumbrances, and we've sort of gotten together and we're looking at some of the next new technology and whether there's a game there we want to make."
'That's a lot of fun, because it feels a little like the old days. Just a small team trying to do something really cool and unusual, and there's so much new technology out there that is unproven and needs some real tender loving thought and care"
"Hardware will never sell itself. Without creative people to make something compelling, it will never sell, and that's our ace in the hole. I'm working with a game designer and some technical guys and some artists, and we're putting together something that I will love to announce to the world very soon, and it's very exciting."

maybe, but like all the other things about the series it is highly overrated.
Now this I agree with. But to call him himself a bad composer is a disservice.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Might b cool.

That was for not paying him for vacation time after the firing. He won that one in court.

Well. That was unexpected. But, new ventures right? He's got the right to try if he wants to.

He could have argued with them and they could have just fired him over it.

I'm calling it now that he'll try to hire on the core of the old Bungie

Holy shit guys Jaime Griesemer is one of the people on his team. He was with bungie from myth 2 all the way to 2010 and then went to sucker punch and was a lead designer on infamous second son.

Also they won't be making games about shooting aliens according to their Twitter.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
Hopefully marty's a better developer than composer
You have got to be kidding me1?.. If his music wasn't in Halo.. it wouldn't have been as Legendary as it is.

Yes it would. The soundtrack isn't the reason why it's successful.

According to the title of this article, some Ex-Bungie guys are joining. But there's no solid info about it in the body, just the details of Marty's divorce.

Also, why does every company he gets involved with have to be named after doing something dangerous usually above a river near a bridge?

>Bungie
>Highwire

Marty has broken up with highwire games and has now founded, Base Jumping Games.

Also, lol all the attention Duardo is getting out of this with people linking his tweet on every website on the internet.
