Damn I was hoping total experience would be one of the secret criteria. I actually got my 777th total experience point on bungie day playing in the bungie vs. the world playlist.

wait, so if we don't have recon right now? we won't have it reguardless? that goes for the kills divisible by 7 thing...

I spent 8 hours in a straight of my life playing that. Plus another 5 hours after a 30 min break. I did not get to play Bungie even once. And why did you only have 4 staff play at a time? You should have had way more people playing. Thanks for letting me spend 13 hours of my -blam!- life playing that for nothing.


If any Employee were here he/she would say, "You're welcome."

You knew fully well what your chances were at matching up against Bungie, being upset about not being matched up with them is foolish.


I thought they would have enough brains to think of having more than just 4 people play at a time. So no I did not know my chance of getting them at the time. And most of the 820,000 that played didn't either because we thought there was more than just 4 people playing.

Wow all i can say if thanks for the amazing fun you given us with Halo.

Im not going to lie I really wanted to win some Recon, but Oh well It's just a Armor Perm!

Thanks again Bungie.

Derek plays Halo in a gorilla suit too? Wow, I really would fit in at Bungie...

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

All of the people I played knew fully well of their being only 1 squad of 4 players from Bungie. If they didn't they were just unaware about the prizes/events behind Bungie Day.

There is always September though. So buck up, old chap!

so how do we know if our kills was divisible by 7 at the time or not...

  • 07.10.2009 6:09 PM PDT

That boy needs therapy!

Bungie Day was fun! Even though I never ran into a Bungie team it was still fun. I got my 7 on the 7th achievement, and Bulltrue achievement as well. I got 2 bulltrues and both were saving my teammates from being killed =]

Anyway, time to check my armerz :s

The 'Nade Ninja

ok this is funny
i just went through my game history and had exactly 84 games on bungie day
7*12=84
so i doubt that thats the highest number of games with a factor of 7
but id bet it would be in the top 49
then i read the "and no registered DNFs"

and i had 2 dnfs from lagging out.

lol. i doubt i was the only one to have a ridiculously close call to getting recon this week

  • 07.10.2009 6:10 PM PDT

Congratulations to all o' the winners! I had a blast!

Also, special thanks to Chris "Fairy" Carney for granting me the inability to sleep at night.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

I sincerely want to say thank you for the amazing playlist.

Hope you do it again in the future, with or without the Recon.

Much love,

Ok. With all due respect, Bungie day is BS. Me and my friends played Halo for 10 hours trin to find a bungie team. We whupped everybody we played but we could not find a bungie team. We shook it off like it was nothing, but when our friend found a bungie team after 45 min of play, that is when i freaked. we worked our butts of becuause we knew we could beat bungie. I am requesting a private 4v4 with me and my friends against a bungie team for the prize of recon. I think the bungie day match making should be monotored so that bungie can pick out the best teams and go against them, because quite frankly, Me ad my friends got ripped off so bad, i almost quit. i bought the mythic map pack just for bungie day and paid 12$ just so i could get ripped off. I am requesting this 4v4 because i think me and my friends deserve to play a bungie team.

I just really wanted to play Bungie. I really didn't want the recon. But a match against Bungie is now just a dream again.

Wheres the recon awarded for most teabags?!

The population was 0 when I played my first match. I must've been in the first match! Please Have mercy!

  • 07.10.2009 6:30 PM PDT

Damn. I banged my head on my desk when I saw that one of the qualifications was 77 EXP. I could have done that, but I was delusional and didn't care. (At the time.) I won like 15 out of 50 games.
