Behind the scenes: Bungie's new headquarters


Above: Think they ever play Call of Duty in here?


Above: Welcome to the glamorous world of games journalism


Above: A small room set aside for interviews


Above: Armor used in one of the Halo franchise's manylive-action advertisements. Yes, this is wearable!


Above: More armor and… boxes. Lots of boxes


Above: When I visited Bungie's last office building –photo tour here– this Oni poster was cleverly situated next to the women's restroom. What does placing her above the trash and recycling bins imply?


Above: Framed Halo concept art makes for a nice wall collage


Above: As do old magazine covers that celebrate the triumphs of your previous games


Above: Master Chief wants YOU… to learn Spanish


Above: This oversized Penny Arcade strip is displayed proudly in the halls of Bungie. Call me crazy, but I think the two-horned, three-armed, four-mouthed slug beast might be Microsoft. Ouch


Above: Believe it or not, this is Bungie. Everything you just saw is tucked away behind that generic outdoor mall façade. The door, in fact, is right above Gene Juarez's Salon & Spa… classy!
