Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 07/10/09

Its your blood next. Then ill make this world BURN!

Ya I read the full story and did not get recon.
The one that I did was "All players from the last game of Bungie vs The World"
It was one of the super secret metrics. I was in the last game so I was happy once I read it but did not get recon. Whats the deal? Bungie can you give me recon please.

halo

You played the game regardless of the condition of your players, I played the game, regardless of my condition(s), I beat four of you teams and did so in a handsome fashion, If I may say so. So daily I look for my rewards and you know what, NOTHING. So Bungie staff cough up my goods. You got beaten and as life goes, you must pay up. Had this been a poker game, I would have owned your houses, your cars, and even your swimming pools......I'll be looking for my rewards in my armor setting really really soon.

I really have no idea why that bungie thinks that they accomplished something in "Bungie vs The World" idea. I mean if as many people were playing that playlist as they said theres bound to be more sucky people than good. So really grats for raping the staff captains and the first lieutenants. Pretty disappointing if you ask me cause its like half the population of halo didnt even care about it. They were off playing their fav playlist as was i. As far as im concerned recon isnt even that cool looking and if it were a starting perm not many people would wear it. Plus the lengths that you have to go to to actually get it are hardly worth it. So overall i would have been more happy with some s**tty free picture pack than that waste of time playlist. Yeah i did play a few games but all i got was like CTF on colonade like 5 times in a row. Colonade? i mean foreal. I have made maps better than that in like a hours worth of forging. The only good thing that came out of bungie day was midship and citidel. If citidel is as small as it looks i might be a decent map cause so far all the map packs have been lacking. Yeah the forge is wonderful on sandbox and foundry but the defualt on those suck, and honestly standoff has to be my least fav map along with rats nest. Ghost town might finally be starting to grow on me but my opinion of it is still a nubby haven with its easily campable middle. Blackout is ok. Avalanche? Really? Another big map? Really? Assembly is kinda awkward for me to say right now but orbital to me is more of campaign lvl.

So watev bunj. I hope those new maps are cool, but judging from the other remakes you've done they consist of the same overall look but the gameplay just isnt as fun anymore. But on a side note i love the snipers playlist along with swat. I just wish these had come with the game and not added in later. Obviously they are what made halo 2 great. But please. Take out shotty snipers. Idk why im typing this. Im just bored outa my mind waiting to get tired.

So theres my opinion on halo right now. Take it or leave it. I doubt bunj or anyone will read it but oh well im tired now so thank you bungie forums for boring me till i got sleepy.

bungie i want my dang recon and i beat you again 4 i repete 4 times you o me big time

  • 07.14.2009 2:29 AM PDT

I think bungie has to do it again because there some people thet coudlt wet it

  • 07.14.2009 5:50 AM PDT

I wish I would be told how i compared to those metrics. Since i played for 18hours straight in bungie vs world (still didnt find bungie...) and never ever quit a round though several times it ended up being just me vs 4 people.

you must have just thought you were faceing them since i probly played longer than you and didnt find anyone from bungie. If you seriously beat them four times i think you should get 4 sets which you could give 3 away.

sometimes the small levels are good (since there smaller they can put more time into tweaking things) but the larger maps generaly are much more fun since they have more space your alot alot less likely to be spawn killed which makes things alot more fun.

instead of triple postimg just edit the message.

My friend won recon but when he went to show me it, it showed up as mark 4 armor and wasnt working.

This is an outrage! It's like I'm not even living in America anymore! It's like I woke up in communist Russia!"

Well unless your cousin was playing as you he would have won recon not you, if he died the most.


He was playing as a guest under my account... And I gave my controller sometimes to my other cousin who couldn't even turn.... would have had a great shot at most deaths....

Great update, guys - thanks! I especially enjoyed the excerpts from the angry mob. Punctuation. Grammar. Spelling. Apparently this classic educational trinity is lacking in our schools today, clearly having been replaced by the severely more annoying (yet entertaining) trident of delusions of grandeur, a sense of entitlement, and the inability to write descriptively without the use of cursing.

Congratulations, Bungie!

For those of you saying that they beat bungie and did not get recon, if you did and you were not blacklisted, you would have it. I don't think bungie would forget or miss anyone if they won. Again, some people are confused about the playlist. You would not get paired up with bungie every time. You probably just played some regular people, won, and thought it was over. OR you could just be lying to get recon which won't work because Bungie is not stupid.

hello jakob reevingto from xbox live

congrultions on winnin on the bugie day well done i have one complaint tho i had achived a 35 kill streak during one of the geames that i was playing during tht day and i was woundering maybe i cud get any reward anythin really to do with halo like new armor or a sneak peek at new maps anything reli and if u dnt belive me i have a link below to prove that i did achieve this.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=122487 6592&player=jakob%20reevingto if u click my name jakob reevingto it will show you all my stats i got so could you plz make me the happiest guy in the world and leeting me have one piece of recon plz lol i just had to say it lol

  • 07.14.2009 3:29 PM PDT

My friend won recon from bungie day but last night when he went to show me it it wasnt working. He put it on but it just showed mark 4 armor instead. Later he told me that he sent a message to bungie(probably urk but I'm not sure) and they told him that they took it off because they said he asked for the recon. He told me he doesn't remember ever asking for it. My friend pretty much got screwed over.

Anyways I hope my friend gets his recon back unless he left a message to them like the one above me(then I hope he was blacklisted). Btw jakob apparently doesnt know how to use spellcheck.

I am not defending Bungie. I enjoyed the playlist and it's maps somewhat or I would have stopped playing. However I do believe 1,000 people getting Recon out of so many was a little lame but Bungie Day should have never been about getting Recon. It completely devours the whole idea of what Bungie Day is suppose to be about because so many people became focused on that one part of it.

But in honesty I can't complain about not getting Recon. I won a prize way cooler than Recon a long time ago when Halo 3 first launched. Halo 3 Game Fuel Mini Fridge FTW! lol

Let me just say what I want to say because it needs to be said. Why on earth are we being tortured with movies like GI Joe, Land of the Lost, Fame (remake), and Transformers 2 AND the HALO movie nowhere in sight. I'd rather be waterboarded to be quite honest. I mean really! What in the **** are you guys thinking? Hey Bungie, I mean really, have you no sense of what the public likes? The public, fans of Halo, love the story. What Hollywood needs is not another Transformers movie...they need a ass-kicking, space-flying, flaming, Ju-Jitsu face-breaker like the Chief on the big screen. By the way, I'm not some kid. I'm in my late thirtees and tired of seeing the same crap at the movies...

You guys really need a reality check.

I would have killed for Recon. I would have died for Recon. I read the list of metrics and had to gulp hard to stop myself from crying. I spent the best years of my life trying to do something worthy of Recon. But this time it all came down to luck.

I've never even seen Recon in a game. If I ever do, I'm going to take that player and make them turn upside-down while suspended in mid-air. You might think I couldn't do that, but
I can.

Missed Bungie Day this year unfortunately, logged on a few hours too early and a few hours too late.

Oh well- scratch the Recon- I'll gladly take the skull glass in the last picture :)
Is it for sale?

  • 07.15.2009 3:42 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Looking forward to one of these events that I will be able to attend after getting ODST since I will actually have the maps then.
