Battlefront.com is manned by a small, dedicated group of designers, programmers, and artists. This arrangement assures the needs of Battlefront.com can be satisfied while avoiding the burden of high overhead (salaries). The end result gives gamers a leaner, more efficient, and more responsive provider of wargaming products! Battlefront's founders have been around as active Developers since the mid 1990s, watching with growing nervousness the rise of Mass Market thinking within the Industry. For years there was no alternative to this institution since shelf space was the only way to get games into the hands of gamers. Things got much worse before there was even a hope of it getting better.

Then one day BBS services targeted towards the average computer user began to spring up, and soon after more sophisticated online services (AOL, Compuserve, etc.) appeared. All of this held promise, yet it could not offer a true alternative to the Industry. However, over time the various segmented services matured and formed a viable medium for software distribution; The World Wide Web. We began to see that another option was becoming available to Developers like us. In the Winter of 1997/98 Battlefront.com was formed in principle. At first it was a "Plan B", a Life Boat, in case the Industry totally turned a blind eye towards our type of games. Within a few months it became apparent that "Plan B" was no longer the more risky and less viable choice for us. The Industry was turning to the Mass Market faster than we could have imagined. The only thing faster than the Speed of Sound is the Speed of Greed.

As the new century approached the big Publishers, one after the other, cut back and/or watered down their war and strategy game efforts. Those that didn't manage the jump to mainstream gaming simply went out of business. All the while we planned in secret for the survival of our hobby, our work, our inspiration. Quietly we started to make contact with other like-minded Developers and sought out an alliance. With each passing day our Life Boat gradually transformed into a Battleship, designed not just to save our skins but rather to take back our style of gaming from those who had abused and misused it. Thus, Battlefront.com was born!

Battlefront.com's mission is to provide the challenging military minded computer gaming experience that has all but disappeared from the face of corporate gaming today. Our goal is to serve gamers, rebuild our community, and breathe some life back into a hobby whose followers are still here in sizable numbers but have been tossed aside by the Industry. A critical part of our success is keeping the wargaming hobby in step with new technology without becoming obsessed with "glitz over substance". Our games, past and present, stand as testimony to both our commitment and ability to deliver on this promise. Part of Battlefront.com's evil-genius secret plan is to treat Developers with respect, which includes sharing the profits with them so fairly and generously that they are able to run sustainable businesses and come back to make more games for us and for you. When you buy a game from a typical retail store, the people that actually made it receive only a few bucks (or in some cases PENNIES) from the total purchase price. When you buy something from Battlefront.com, the opposite is true; the Developer gets the majority of every buck you spend.

Battlefront.com seeks to rectify this by keeping Developers happy and well compensated, so that they can continue to afford the time and expense of making great games for all of us. This is something that majority of Publishers just don't get. Instead of nurturing their Developers they chew 'em up and spit 'em out as fast as they can sign and violate the contracts. While this is by far the norm, Battlefront has been fortunate enough to work with the few enlightened exceptions out there. Sadly few have survived the continued disintegration of the retail market. In spite of a few rays of hope, the Industry as a whole continues to undervalue wargaming and games which aren't built about the latest whiz bang technology. The need for Battlefront.com grows with each passing day as PC game development is itself threatened by console gaming.

Behaviour Interactive Inc. (French: Behaviour Intéractif Inc., stylized as bE HAVIOUR) is a Canadian video game development studio specializing in the production of 2D and 3D action/adventure games for home video game consoles, handheld game consoles and personal computers. The company was founded in 1992 in Quebec City by Rémi Racine as Megatoon Entertainment Group. Two years later, Racine co-founded a Montreal-based Multimedia Interactive (MMI) to develop interactive entertainment software for CD-ROM. Both companies were sold to Malofilm Communications in 1996, and a year later, they were merged into Behaviour Interactive. In 1999, Racine and some investors bought the studio back, but they had to rename it, changing the name in 2000 to Artificial Mind & Movement Inc. (A2M). In November 2008, the company acquired Santiago-based Wanako Games from Activision Blizzard, which was the first and largest South American game studio. By 2010, the studio's name was reverted to Behaviour Interactive, partly due to increased production of original titles and thus stronger presence in the gaming community, partly due to the availability of the original name, and partly due to one particular obscene interpretation of the initialism "A2M".

Bohemia Interactive is a video game development studio and publisher, based in Prague, Czech Republic. The company focuses on creating military simulation games such as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and the ARMAseries. It was also famed for working on a game conversion of the DayZ mod created for ARMA 2. Founded by Marek Španěl in 1999, the studio released its first game in 2001, a military shooter titled Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, which received critical acclaim and brought recognition for the studio. Following Operation Flashpoint was a series of downturns, such as porting the game to Xbox, which led to huge financial losses and the development of a sequel later abandoned by the publisher Codemasters. The studio fell into financial troubles until the United States Marine Corps employed the studio to create simulation games to train soldiers. A new division called Bohemia Interactive Simulations was created, and later spun off and become a standalone business entity. Following Codemasters' decision of not supporting the studio, Bohemia Interactive decided to develop a spiritual successor to Cold War Crisis titled ARMA: Armed Assault. It was both a critical and financial success, spawning a number of sequels. Smaller projects such as Take On Helicopters were also released. In 2012, Dean Hall produced a massively popular mod for ARMA 2 that prompted the studio to develop a standalone game. The same year saw the arrest of two employees of Bohemia, who were charged with espionage by Greece and jailed for 129 days. This event had significantly lowered team morale and forced the team to rename the ARMA 3's setting to a fictional one. The company is now working on several new projects, including preparing DayZ for an eventual full release and developing Ylands, a sandbox game which was part of Bohemia Incubator, a platform for Bohemia Interactive to release small, experimental projects.

Bungie (through Take 2, a subsidiary Gathering Of Developers) released Oni for the Mac, PC, and Playstation 2. Oni is a stunning game that takes action/adventure to the next level. It features Konoko, a heroine with a vast arsenal of fighting moves such as kicks, punches, throws and special combos. But she can also wield powerful weapons- like rocket launchers, machine guns and plasma cannons- as she maneuvers her way through an increasingly dark storyline. Oni has been receiving fantastic praise from the gaming and consumer press. PC Gamer described the game as frenzied good fun while Computer Gaming World wrote, this third-person perspective action game had the entire CGW staff drooling. Playboy named Oni one of its Game Picks of the Month and SPIN Magazine described Oni as impressively realistic and challenging. Jane Magazine profiled Konoko in the January 2001 issue and exclaimed Konoko is a 'one-woman SWAT team and doesn't rely on cleavage to attract fans. By any account, Bungie is a powerhouse in the game industry, and the organization is growing in response. Although the location has changed, Bungie is still dedicated to the creation of outstanding, immersive electronic games that surpass the boundaries of conventional technology. Bungie has been adding additional staff to help speed development of future titles. Now, with three development teams working concurrently on new titles, and with Halo looming on the horizon, Bungie is poised to reach a zenith of creativity and excellence. Over the past twenty years, Bungie has created a bunch of fun games, including the Halo franchise, the Marathon Trilogy, and the first two Myth games. Our independent, employee-owned development studio is located in Bellevue, Washington, the base from where we launched our most ambitious project to date: Destiny.
