Bungie Hiring PC Developers

Posted by Zonk on Thursday February 2, 2006 @11:30AM from the master-chief's-new-digs dept.

Gamespot reports that Halo-maker Bungie Studios is seeking PC developers for an unnamed project. From the article: "Taken in and of themselves, the listings are merely interesting. However, the wording of the graphics programmer job description has many positively convinced that Bungie is porting Halo 2 to the PC, in-house. 'This is an opportunity to influence the direction of Windows gaming technology in MGS [Microsoft Game Studios],' reads the post after first teasing, 'Want to work on the biggest franchises for Microsoft Game Studios?' Since becoming part of Microsoft Game Studios, Bungie has worked on only one franchise for the division--Halo."

Programming for Windows DirectX and Xbox DirectX have about as much in common as plunging a toilet and performing liposuction. Same general motions but the details are completely different.

Bungie is planning an MMO based in the Halo universe. In order to make the game successful, they will need both PC and Xbox 360 clients. The game will be more action based than most MMOs and will take advantage of integrated voice.

P.S. I'm full of crap
