In 2021, Bungie will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. As Bungie's most important game, Destiny 2 also launched content related to Bungie's 30th anniversary in the game. The appearance of the classic-looking Manon pistol, BR combat rifle, energy sword, Phantom Sparrow, Warthog spaceship and acupuncture instrument has excited many players who follow Bungie from halo to destiny.
Regrettably, however, the owner, Studios 343, does not seem to acknowledge this connection, as Halo currently owns the copyright. Therefore, the content of online games is inevitably suspected of being a marginal ball. So what happened to Bungie and 343 Studios? This will start in 2009.
Referring to 343, the first impression of his work is Halo 4. In fact, as early as 2009, it was involved in the creation of Halo: Far Star. By 2011, a remake of Halo: Battle Evolution was also born in 343. Therefore, just because of the fact that "343 took over the aura", it is obviously unfair to judge that the previously unknown 343 chose Bungie's peach.
In fact, when Microsoft and Bungie separated, many employees who had previously been affiliated with Bungie, including their former supervisors, chose to stay at 343. Thus, Bungie's relationship with 343 is more like the Thesisian ship paradox – when the wood on the Theseus ship is gradually replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, is the ship still the original ship?
But one thing is for sure: The plot style of Halo 4, the 343 standalone works that were the first generation of Halo works, is indeed very different from the previous one
Generations. But what has been most criticized by players is the level of optimization of its online combat system and the large field. These questions have also sparked a huge controversy about the strengths and weaknesses between 343 and Bungie. This has even sparked a flurry of speculation about whether there is a grudge between 343 and Bungie.
In fact, speculation about 343 and Bungie may just be brain compensation. Peter Parsons, then CEO of Bungie in 2020, once said, "When you think what you're doing isn't your favorite job, or what you can't achieve." When you don't feel like you're one of the greatest entertainment companies in the world, when you don't believe your work will be one of the achievements of excellence in creativity and technology, you need to change. That's what we did – Tiffany's breakthrough fast."
On the other hand, Spencer Spencer, the former boss of Bungie and head of Microsoft's Xbox Xbox, once said: "Now Microsoft has the ability to keep Bungie, but I also understand the temptation to start an independent business as an independent company." ”
The remarks on both sides seem to have undermined the fact that Bungie parted ways with Microsoft and left the copyright to Halo: Halo made Bungie a huge success, but it also made Bungie too busy to develop other games under heavy financial pressure, so it simply parted ways with Microsoft, and it also announced plans to cooperate with Activision Blizzard.
For Bungie, who was eager for independence at the time, 343 was the best option.
It should be added that Bungie's cooperation with Activision Blizzard is not what Bungie wants. As a product of Bungie's collaboration with Activision Blizzard, the obscure plot and singles approach of fate in the early days of fate have made the outside world full of doubts about Bungie's future. Even if Destiny 2 comes out later, it's hard to stop Bungie and Activision Blizzard from getting closer. In 2019, Bungie terminated its contract with Activision Blizzard, and this time, the intellectual property rights to the Destiny series are owned and continue to operate.
While Destiny 2 was updated for Bungie's 30th anniversary, it was inevitably suspected of passing by. For example, the Magnon pistol, as a classic weapon in the Halo series, even appeared in Halo works made by 343, such as Halo 4 and Halo 5. But for players who followed Bungie into destiny 2's Halo series, such a tribute would suffice.
Now, Bungie's 30th Anniversary Package has been officially unlocked in Destiny 2. In addition to the many featured items mentioned at the beginning of this article, you can unlock new dungeons, Galar Horns, exotic rocket launchers, new weapons, and armor to welcome the new game with a new look. Now, in the deep air of Destiny 2, we can relive the magnificent adventures that the sergeant experienced!
