Specifically I will be talking about the role narrative has played within Bungie’s games and in the community built around them. Bungie has always engaged with its fans and created experiences deep enough that people remain engrossed long after the game is released. The same can be seen in Blizzards games, though they do it through continually refining (and thus enhancing the depth) the gameplay of their titles, rather than through narrative like Bungie. Being a Bungie fan in the late 1990′s was almost like participating in an ARG. I find it interesting that Halo 2 had one of the most successful ARGs to date.
