<i>Read prior quotes from Bungie staff, they clearly state that we exceeded even their most optimistic estimates, but on top of that they had several issues appear at once that compounded the backlog problem.</i>

I really think that Bungie PR are a bunch of friggin idiots. Why piss everyone off and hide such information in a single thread in the halo3 forum and not put it on the front page. If they simply put a paragraph on the front page that the game data is being stored but not updated but will be soon, everyone wouldn't be posting frantic messages on the forum.

Idiots. All of them.


Exactly...they leave us all sitting here not able to play with any confidence that anything is being recorded.

But again, as others have said...they're calling Achronos's yellow response "official". If that's official, remember, they said our data was being stored.

They stated it...officially. Either that, or this is not an official post. So, still, because of what you said, we have no way of knowing for sure what's going on. Right, this belongs on the main page...it's more important than anything else going on right now.

In the past 48 hours they've (bungie employees) posted scores from games of Team Slayer they've played against eachother, but nothing on this.

Horrendous...and unacceptable. There's no reason for it other than just sheer laziness.

!!*UPDATE*!!


Im one of the many who have been having the problem of days of medals and kills not showing up, well just now (11:30pm central time) i checked and about half of my missing games and stats have been updated!

Im still a little concerned that im going to loose somethings though because some of the stats (like my sword spree) i just got today, but i can tell its still missing stats from previous days because i played a bunch of CTF and i should have at least 10 flag stops. (i had 5 in one game alone) but none of those are showing.

Hopefully this is a sign that the update process is begining. otherwise maybe it is now starting to update again but we have lost or have not yet recieved stats from Fr,Sat,Sun.

Cross your fingers!

Intrepid. How many people have to tell you that nobody cares about your opinion. Don't play halo if it bothers you so much that your EXTRA FEATURES aren't working in the first couple weeks of the release of one of the most anticipated games ever. If you think Bungie is lazy, don't support them by playing their game. And if its so easy make your own game. Or are you too busy with your other more important responsibilities. If you ever start your own business you will quickly realize that its people like you that make it so hard to please people. You just b**** and whine and take for granted what the company is trying hard to offer you which is one of the best games available on the market. You already know they are working hard on it. They know your pissed. Your opinion, your facts, your w/e you want to call them are completely useless and not cared for one bit by anybody. Besides, like I've said tons of times before, its a video game, not life, and if you really like Halo enough to complain half as much as you have been, you'd be just fine with working to gain back those medals. SO STOP POSTING NOOB!

My stats havent updated since early Friday morning which made me feel a little frustrated but I just checked and they updated the stats I played today but not the ones from early Friday to now.....I really want these stats that I worked REALLY hard for. So I hope Bungie gets this corrected and if they dont, I might stop playing because why play a game that has your hard work forgotten?

EDIT: I know the Bungie guys have A LOT on their hands considering over a million people a day play Halo 3 on XBL, I just want to be assured that my stats will be recovered on the website. This site redesign is brand new and will have its problems.....you just understand my concern. :)

this is why. Tons of us feel this way, and there's nothing that you can say to make us "wrong" for feeling that way.

And again, nothing anyone "arguing" (this is laughable) against the people with a legitimate gripe here are mentioning the fact that the issue here is bungie's lack of communication. Not "extra goodies" not working.

Read the thread before you post. There's no explanation for their lack of communication. None.

I too am having problems with my stats not being updated. BUT unlike so many people out there, I am content to just sit and wait patiently for some results. I WILL NOT go off to piss and moan about how it does not work. Your complaints will not make anything happen faster then it is already progressing. All it really does is make the Bungie employees feel that you don't appreciate their efforts to make this the best they can as fast as they can.

This isn't grade school. It has nothing to do with Bungie's feelings.

They sold the product, they promised these features. They're not working for many, many people. End of story.

This is business...If someone is sitting in Bungie feeling unappreciated because people are upset that they're getting hosed here, then that's between him and his psychiatrist. It has nothing to do with us.

Edited: Oh and further, whether any of us are content to play or not...we really can't play. So, regardless of if I'm happy about it or not, we ARE all going through the same thing. Some people are more active and vocal about wrongdoings in life and that's a good thing. If everyone was passive, we'd all still be bumping around in caves with clubs.

What's good about a goodie that is broken?

If there was flaws in the stat collecting, at least they could tell us? It makes people keep playing, achievements, wanting to get those medals... etc.
Lucky achievements are logged separately than compared to this, or else what if we lost those... I think more people would be upset.

Medals doesn't mean much really, same as career stats being recorded and so far bungie has been flawless at that.... but there is still a void missing, almost half of last weekend.

It's posts like this that just flat out end any counter argument here.

You can't argue that this guy, the hundreds of others who have posted the same thing, and myself should just "deal with it". The ball is not in our court, it's in Bungie's. It's unacceptable and you know it. End of story.

Again- You can't minimize this issue. We went from 1.5-1.6 million online at times (never below 650,000...ever) to nothing more than about 250,000 at once for the past 3 DAYS. It's not just some minor, isolated, unimportant issue of a sidenote. No matter how bad some of you want that (for...no apparent reason).

intrepid, you existing has proven to be irrelevant. they have told us they are fixing it, stats are now updating, they are now working on this weekends stats. You are such a fool to believe that businesses dealing with digital data is a eutopia of perfection. Cable internet goes out. They promise for me to have cable, and sometimes it will randomly be down. Cable TV, satellite, websites, servers for corporations accross the globe. Luckily this is just a video game server thats getting backed up. If you had any brain in your head whatsoever you'd realize that you posting 10000000 times on this thread does nothing for anybody. Get a life. Do something important. Get out of your house. Stop playing Halo.

You are an ignorant noobish little baby. END OF DEBATE.

...I won't even respond directly.

This is the example of someone who has ...NO brain.

Just has this impression that everything was confirmed as being fixed and this weekend's stats are being worked on now. Even though NOBODY, ANYWHERE has stated that.

If he can post where Bungie stated this, he wins a cookie. If not, he needs to take his ball and go home.

edit: The fact that he addresses one person, and not the hundreds who have said the same thing, discredits him alone. Why would someone do that?

Add to this again, the fact that (and pick your brain) there is NO reason for someone who feels the way he does about this, to be on here angrily posting to ...someone like me. I'm having a technical problem. It's not possible that he cares how many times I post about it on a website that is not his. It is just not possible...there's no reason on earth he could care. So he's just here because he enjoys making posts like that last one. Can you think of another reason?

Off topic anyway...

I agree with you here. I'm sort of giving up on actually trying for these medals, better kill/death ratio or even bothering to get the last achievements for the complete 1000 points, not just because of my lack of skill in the game.... but what if just another day, it stops collecting data again and days are missed. Yeah Achievements will be kept because it's recorded differently, but the medals are gone.

I'm not even pissed of that it happened. I can understand that the load ended up being more then they expected and more then the server could handle. I just want to know what the deal is, and when i can expect to see my missing stats, if ever. I can cut them some slack this time around, but if thing kind of thing is a re-occurring problem i think they should just get rid of as much as they need to to keep it consistent. I would rather have half the amount of stats registered properly than twice as many randomly appearing incomplete stats.

Really all i want is to hear "We've located the problem and are doing our best to remedy it. You should begin to see your stats come up to date by Wednesday." even "we figured out whats wrong, and we are extremely sorry to say that any stats and medals you accumulated over the weekend are no longer in our database, and thusly will not appear on your online records" would garner my appreciation.

Right...it just SAPS the will to continue playing. Again, especially when you know some people never had any problems here. You know you got hosed and you have no explanation about any of it...just a bunch of forum trolls, for no reason, screaming to stop crying. It's insanity.

and unless I'm missing something (and hundreds, if not thousands of others on these forums), there's absolutely nothing stopping Bungie from doing what you've highlighted here. They just "haven't" done it. End of story.

Anyone arguing that someone is "wrong" for feeling the way that this guy does (which is exactly how I feel)...is just flat out, incompetent. Or insane. Totally off-beat. I've never seen/heard/read anything like this.

Only the fact that I am now a Spartan Officer has updated. All my games and stats from Matchmaking games have not updated since Oct 4th.

Do we have to get on a list and post here everytime we want our profiles updated? Seems like with such a great game and all the lines of code, Bungie should be able to come up with a way of automatically updating profiles. Just a thought. Happy Halo 3ing!

Common guys, Its affecting me too, its affecting most of it. Whining about it isnt gonna make it happen any faster, just be patient. I wanna see my medals too, i got some that i feel proud of over the weekend that i havent seen yet. We all know its being worked on, so let bungie do there job and fix it.

Another person who fails at this thread.

You don't know it's being worked on...you don't know what's being worked on, if anything.

I simply cannot explain why for the 100th time. It's ALL THROUGH THE THREAD.

And it's ignoring the lack of communication problem. Again, many, many people have highlighted it. So this is again, a totally garbage post.

I just don't get it...the words are on your screen, you read them, and you totally don't understand what you just read. It baffles me.

It's just funny how in game, they state for an in depth look into your profile, you have to join the bungie.net community.
Why wouldn't they show it in game? I know everyone has access to a computer and obviously they have the internet to play on Live, but why would they omit the medals you gained in game and force it on you to login here?

What's disappointing even more, is that my stats from my co-op campaign mode with my real life friends weren't even logged. I was planning to show them what we did.

I should look into what movies I have left of what I played in the last few days, and maybe keep those for reference with what I did/earned.

neither do you, so what right do you have to put down others like that?

None, because on Bungie.net, you have no rights.

Right...Bungie made some unprecedented decision to put some of your stats on your 360 and some only up on their website. The fact that it's "not working" is not a case of "extra goodies" being broken. It's a case of them making a poor decision and now having to face the responsibility of dealing with it. Which, if you read the thread you'll notice, they have not done. End of story.

It's certainly not the customer's job to "just deal with it" or "get a life". Some of you will never even gain employment with the statements you've made here.

Anyways... after all this debacle, I'm off to play some Gears of War (tomorrow at least, it's late).
Anyone interested in co-op campaign feel free to add me. I enjoy playing in team games and actually sticking together, rather than team up for one round and then just randomly have to team with others.

W/E man, you head is too thick to waste my time with. Let us know if you ever do anything important with your life other than bash on a company for bringing you a game you obviously are obsessed with (wierd how that works) because if you weren't you'd just stop playing. Try starting a business like i have done and then you will see that people like you make trying to offer people services a hell of a lot more difficult than it needs to be. You can keep wishing you're tite, and that everyone needs to listen to your valid statements while nobody really cares. I'm done here and i'm going to go enjoy playing Halo until the stats come back then when the stats are fixed I'll already be a lot better and i'll be able to earn any stats I had back.
