Know that this Road to Recon tale is far from over, that the history books are still being written and that Bungie's actions will come back to haunt them. I'll be back. Trust ;P

Don't worry Dustin, Bungie will run out of shenanigans one of these day... I think...

Get WorkPLaced!!

I enjoy Joystiq and all they do for the gaming community, but I wanted Bungie to be victorius on this one, I was happy to read that you guys stomped them.

Good work Bungie.

yeah I feel betrayed by BUNGIE they said in one of there posts about the road to RECON and they said they do not play people for RECON so why did they lie?

Well then that loophole explains why you guys have such a great humpday record doesn't it.

It was very nice to have watched it live. Thnx for setting it up Dustin.

Sounds like fun was had on both sides! Congrats to both sides.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

Bungie and their shenanigans.

More aces up their sleeves than a Wild West poker champion.

I think joystiq should of used someone from their actual company when they challenge Bungie. Oh well, great matches.

To be clear, we've never resorted to shenanigans in any past challenges because it's never been warranted. I think our record speaks for itself, we generally lose a lot more than we win.

Glad everyone had fun and was a good sport!

We'll be doing a "Game with Flame" next week in the Team Mythic playlist. We'll pick a day and time and spread the word on Monday.

  • 04.10.2009 5:48 PM PDT

Those guys had to be angry, but I'm sure they found the humor in it eventually. Also, I'm gonna be looking forward to Monday.

Note to future challengers: Pay attention to the fine print in the agreed upon rules.
I don't get that.

I'm not quite clear to why your shenanigans were warranted this time. Unless, that is, Team Joystiq struck fear in Bungie's collective hearts and the thought of playing a fair game against the almighty SuperDunner was too frightful.

If that's the case, I totally understand and we would have agreed to play you guys with our left hands tied behind our backs. You know, to make the battle fair.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Hilariousness ensues!! hahaha

Good stuff - Great pranks

Definitely love regular humpdays... this one is golden.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

That was amazing. I think I'll download the vids and maps types if possible. Then I'll issue some challenges of my own ; )

Which of them got recon? I feel kind of stupid asking but it wasn't made apparent.

I feel your pain, man. Every day I watch good threads sink to the back pages of this forum in favor of spam, trolling, and crap topics.

How come in this humpday they got recon and not in other humpdays past? Is this something new that you guys are doing? Or just to make Dustin happy and his quest complete?

If you need some help getting Annual or Brainpan, I'm sure some of the Joystiq community will give you a hand. You'll need all of the Vidmaster Achievements to get Recon this fall.

I don't play much anymore.

Spring Break for me that week. Whoot!! Hope to play you guys again.

"I agree OP. I, too, love feeling superior to others and enjoy the sensation of belonging to an imaginary elitist group on the internet."

Hilarious!

"Would Bungie be men of honor, relying on skill and reflexes to save the day? Hell no. We griefed the -blam!- out of these guys."
