Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 4/18/08

I like the updates a lot better when these other two guys do it.....its a lot more enjoyable to read because they put more humor in it. I'm gonna miss these guys when they go. Good Job dudes.

I just wanted to comment about [Omitted] and his diabolical scheme for Recon Armor. Not only do you claim that your poor cousin died, but then you try to pull the farce of a brother who died in combat? Shame on you! Do you realize the THOUSANDS of parents who have lost sons and daughters fighting in the name of our country would give ANYTHING to have their dearly departed back for just one second??? The brave men and women of our armed forces represent every American in this great nation...even (sadly) you... To falsify a loved one perishing in war is dishonorable and disgusting, but to do it to get a permutation for your silly game (sorry, Bungie I love the game but in comparison to life and death it is silly) should earn you a Lifetime Banhammer upside that tiny cranium of yours. Not just that, but you should be forced to give away your gaming console(s) to the troops overseas so that they can actually have a tiny moment of fun. You don't deserve the luxuries that our military provides you.
As an Air Force veteran I proudly stand behind my remarks. I have a brother in the Marine Corps. (Gamertag Lunacy Zero) Thankfully, he has never been deployed overseas for combat and I pray that he never will. But if that day comes and if I were to ever hear that he perished fighting for freedom, I would be sadly heart-broken. He got me started playing Halo: Combat Evolved and I have been hooked ever since. Now I beat him mercilessly every time we play. I have three cousins who also sacrificed their own liberties to defend you. My grandfather was in two wars. And of all of this I am proud. So to see a terrible story like this infuriates me and makes me wish your name was not [Omitted] so I could hunt you down and noob combo you. And you're from Michigan, too??? My own, beautiful home state??? How dare you, you 15 year old BLAM?!?! Go eat your Go-gurt, drink your Danimals, and go to bed. Stay there in time out until you grow up and realize that while it may be all fun and games to you, life and death are serious issues that deserve your reverence and respect. You make me sick. I hope Bungie never lets you log on again. I hope I never find out who you are because then I will surely get the Banhammer for the harrassment that I shall rain down upon you.
God Bless America. God Bless Bungie. God Bless us all. Except [Omitted]...

I shall make a point "The List" never sees my name. Thanks for dealing with idjits, Bungie.

You’re technically real... I'm considered a myth…

Halospire: We will post your creation and give you credit.

LOL SketchFactor... complimenting your figure. I laughed so hard at that one, it felt like my sides were caving in.

Anyways, on the new maps, I am very glade you guys decided to release an new large vehicle map WITH the hornet. Ever since you guys made the hornet, I fell in love with its ability to fly in any direction instead of just straight. I always thought it be one of the best vehicles for Objective Types maps. Only sad deal is, I wish the hornet appeared more often in maps as well as matchmaking. I honestily believe it be actually good for building a vehicular map that is based around objective. But next time, please put two varieties of hornets in atleast one map? The original and new hornet so next time, us forge hubbers could definitly build one sided maps.

This isn’t something a good person does. This is something a terrible, terrible sub-human does in an attempt for something as petty as a visual for a video game. And this is something someone wants to do if they want to guarantee to themselves that they’ll never, ever have that visual. And, for the would-be heroes out there, I did confront the above user on the topic and he confessed. When I told him that he was put on the list to never receive Recon, he tried to bribe me.

Wow guys I personally feel sorry for you guys. lol, like common you get bomb boarded with these annoying messages. Also I'm outraged that people would lie about one of their family members passing away, that is beyond disgust. Why would you lie about you family member dying. It's clear that this person doesn't love his family. Rather than that he loves this game more!

sincerely, Daddy i spy 007

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

Good update.......I hope i can come up with something to get recon......something noone else has done would be sweet........also I have to say that i was one of a few people that were griping about how you guys only make big maps now........but I am glad to announce that I should be smacked in the face for trashtalking Avalanche......I absolutely LOVE that map its absolutely beautiful and its amazingly fun to play....................one last thing i just noticed that some people have things like Heroic Member and Legendary Member next to their names....Do these have anything to do with who has and who hasnt downloaded certain Map Packs? Or is it something else entirely im going to lokk and see if it has Legendary Member next to my name if it does then it is most likely because i have the Maps and if it says Heroic or something else then I will be as puzzled as I am now.......And if you think thats a ridiculous question just overlook it.....i tend to ramble as you may see if you look at some of my other posts.....but yea.........LOVE THE MAPS


ok i just looked and it says Heroic Member.......so........i am as i said PUZZLED .......mayube it has something to do with the amount of posts if i were forced to make any other guesses it would be that.......which i have a feeling is correct

Thanks for the update, I just can't believe that someone could be so sick and despairate for armour that don't matter in the real world the make up a story about a loved one passing away. People like this make me sick and should be punished severely, they should not just be put on some list but really tought a lesson. I do not wish this person's family bad things but I wish he could just see what It is like to lose someone. Maybe then that sick and twisted person will understand that it is not a matter to use for leverage or anything for that matter. All those who even found it funny, it isn't. To lose someone close to use is a terrible thing and I just hope that this person learns more than they won't be getting some video game armour. I say ban this sick sick person from live permanently!

I'm shocked that some idiotic child would go to such lengths in an attempt to get armor. He should be banned and his parents should be slapped. I don't see what the big deal is about this armor anyway. I think it looks kind of ugly (no offense Bungie). Just give it up already folks, be happy with what you have. Some people can't afford an Xbox 360 or Halo 3 at all.

It is pretty sick for people to try to lie their way to Recon, but that just shows how their life is, pathetic. Just question (or suggestion) Can people get Recon for their pics geting on BungieFav's ?

While reading the weekly update I came across "The List" segment and I would just like to say, that sounds like a scary place to be.

  • 04.18.2008 8:28 PM PDT

I love Halo!!

I must say.............well put about the recon armo info. Hopefully people will get the idea and we shall start to see less threads about how to get recon or threads asking if someone can have it.

And for that person to say something about a death just to get an armor for a vidoe game is really low. That is horrible! To lie about a death? Death in a game might be funny, but real life is not.

Lost it? Maybe you left it at your Mom’s house
Ahhhh, classic Bungie. That's why I love you guys. Grammatically correct "your mom" jokes... Who could ask for more?

And by the way, have you been working out? I saw you walk past the webcams yesterday and wow! I mean, I'm not into dudes, but wow.

(I can't believe people actually try that...)

For some reason, when I clicked preview post on that, my text was all yellow... Like I was a moderator or something. Here's a screenshot that I took for obvious reasons...

Edge 2.0 - The New Sandtrap, but out of the map!!!!

I'm not talking about Recon!!!! Oh -blam!- i just sed Recon!!!! -blam!-!!! ;(

  • 04.18.2008 8:36 PM PDT

My Xbox broke as soon as I downloaded the new maps as well. Is there some bug in these maps that causes Xbox 360's from being able to load any data, because my screen just freezes or goes black when I try to load any game.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
