Bungie Studios revamped their presence inside the series of tubes that are the internet. While the previous incarnation of Bungie.net was revolutionary for its time, that was 3 years ago, and the latest takes it to the next level. To commemorate this transformation, the boys (and princess) of Bnet posted an interview with Lead Web Developer, Chris Gossett and Tom Gloconda (aka Achronos) about the revitalized look and feel of the site as well as features that have been added in preparation or Halo 3's beta and retail release this fall. The interview ended with some fun stats about Halo 2 for us to ponder, like how 4.7 million Gamertags have played in over 670 million games, although they didn't tell us how many of those were from the one month trial cards. What do you think of the new design and interface?

I think the new site design is average. seems to have alot of wasted relastate space
wait a sec, xbox360 fanboy is exactly the same, I just noticed. 2 huge chuncks of nothingness on the left and right sides.
Ahh well, anything is better then bungies old site, which looked out of place with that grid thing and did not display properly on high resolutions.

This website is 100x better than the last one. I'm very happy with the redesign and lack of stupid flash controls at the bottom that caused everything to run like crap.

The changes to My Stats alone is worthy of its own story.
Kill/Death Spread (true indicator of how good you are in my eyes, "ratios man it's about the ratios!)
And Implement of Destruction (what weapon you used to get most of your kills)

"stupid flash controls"
There was never any "stupid flash" controls on bungie.net. Just stupid users who couldn't tell the difference between flash and fancy coding. :P
