On April 22, 1997, Bungie filed as a business entity in California and began hiring new employees; at this time, the address for mailing résumés was "Bungie Software, 1150 S. Bascom Ave., Suite 27, San Jose, CA 95128". Thus it appears that the "real" Bungie West did in fact start in 1997, and only ever operated in San Jose. Since its first employees, Brent Pease and Michael Evans, were hired away from Apple like Klein was, it's not surprising that Bungie West's San Jose location is only several miles east of Cupertino. | On April 22, 1997, Bungie filed as a business entity in California and began hiring new employees; at this time, the address for mailing résumés was "Bungie Software, 1150 S.

Though the street address is definitively listed as being in San Jose, a neighboring suburban town called Campbell almost encompasses the location of Bungie West's former office, as seen in the map to the right. One developer stated privately that Bungie West was actually in Campbell, and that this was the basis of the name of Konoko's weapon, the Campbell Equalizer, but there are [[Easter eggs# | Though the street address is definitively listed as being in San Jose, a neighboring suburban town called Campbell almost encompasses the location of Bungie West's former office, as seen in the map to the right.
