"Halo is a funny game. The "no gameplay" trailers have gotten fanboys drooling, but the reasons why are elusive. Halo isn't particularly high poly--a barren landscape with no landmarks--and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to shout about, except a distinctive art style (reflective black soliders running" =/=\=/=\=/=\= If you look at Bungie's Job Page you will see they are still hiring people primarily for the Oni and Halo projects. I would think if you are at a point where you are still recruiting team members, then you are far, far, from completing the project. I wonder how Bungie can keep a straight face while posting vaporous release dates AND job postings for the same projects at the same time.
Many people seem to be concerned with "how will you defend yourselves against X (terrorists, other countries, etc,etc)?" My question is, when the time comes that some portion of HavenCo (or its users) upsets a country and/or corporation and physical confrontation is literally minutes away, How do you properly dispose of mass volumes of data in as secure a manner as possible? Also, How do you intend to prove to your customers your commitment to keeping their data and identities secure? As HavenCo's website implies, there is more then one place to host a Data Haven, but that does no good if you find it more cost effective to bend to strong arm tactics then to literally destroy your business and start over again. Lastly, what security will you offer your customers against YOU? How can it be displayed that you are not logging customer data Before, during, or after its stay within HavenCo systems? Thanks!
