My brother, xXxm0nk3y6oyxXx, obtained the 7 on 7 achievment with this playlist. Could that fit any of the secret 7 requirements for Bungie Day?

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Congrats to all the winners and it looks like the Bungie guys had a lot of fun too. I wish I hadn't been away on vacation :)

I WAS SOCK

Bungie day was absolutely amazing this year. Though I never got matched up with an employee, and didnt manage to get recon out of all the ways you gave it out, I still had a blast. You never cease to amaze. Having all the employees play in a playlist is awesome, no one else does things like that. On top of that, you gave out a TON of recon.

You have to know your community is pleased as can be, even with those awesome posts you had at the end lol. Thanks so much for bungie day for real, great stuff.

I'm Watching You

1st! oh...a little late.

Bungie, I hope you guys had a great time drinking your rum and playing Halo 3. It was your day, so I hope you enjoyed it. By the way, you forgot to give me Recon. ; ) Wait a minute...I'll go check.

I thought about that, but it seems that wasn't a secret requirement. I had fun though!

Want to see advanced Halo stats not offered by other Halo stat websites? Check out MetaHalo.com, the stats website I am working on. Reach stats currently in development.

Like BTB? Check out bigteambattle.net!

Thanks for the recon Bungie, and an awesome playlist! I played for 24 hours... holy crap.

  • 07.10.2009 8:27 PM PDT

So at the end of a match I got the "7" Vidmaster challenge for getting my 7th experience in the 7 on 7 playlist. At this same exact time I earned my 777th total experience. I think that this is kind of deserving of Recon. And i just realized that I played my first game of halo on 7/7/2008. Bungie, I am like a vessel of the awesomness of 7

True, he also got an epic 7 man killing spree. Even if these aren't recon worthy, my brother and I still had fun and that's all that matters.

im not sure if i got recon but im pretty sure that i started matchmaking exactly when it started i think i deserve recon another thing is.... i have an idea for a recon contest u should have people sign up for recon and u know how u pick out of a hat.. well... u should pick like 1000 gamertags that could win recon that would be fair something like that, i just wish i had a better chance to win recon and i couldn't play bungie vs. world cuz my cuzins were over so i didnt get to play that much i only played for a little bit :(

Yeah im disapointed too. Me and my brother stayed up all night on seperate xboxs i was playing on my main gamertag xKERRx searching, but like everyone else we didnt get a game with bungie.
Plus we were frustrated all night, being poor Aussies we got bad connection with Americans like every game. But we fought on in hope of Versing bungie, sad thing is we coulda beat them too. O well, guess ill get it when ODST comes out then ay. oh well, Aussies always get the short end of the stick.

Thanks for nothing Bungie >:(

  • 07.10.2009 8:45 PM PDT

I only had time to play for 11 hours.
I could have sworn me and my mates were the first game.
Apparently our time must have been off by 6 minutes or something.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Oooo ouch. Handed a nice ol' slice of wahmbulance pie. I will admit I was disappointed too, not because I didn't get recon, but because it would have been cool to meet you guys in a battle for glory. But nevertheless, that was probably the most fun I've had on Halo 3 in a long time, and I enjoyed most of the maps. It's funny how much video game armor means to some people. I really just don't understand. I guess some people are 100% kinda gamers. Missing one piece is just not an option. I like how that one kid didn't know he needed the new maps, when you guys clearly put up a post on here showcasing each of the maps, almost all of which were on Sandbox. I guess there are bnet goers, and then there are those that didn't get permission to go online that day.....Burn?

  • 07.10.2009 9:02 PM PDT

i think Bungie day should be bungie week because i played halo 3, bungie day for a long time trying to find bungie employees to play and wasted half my day. i mean come on, gettin everyones hopes up and not play 3/4 of the players, make it bungie week. or just give people Recon cause people are going to get real tired of tryin to get it that Bungie will lose half the people that play their games, and more and more. Frankly im going to stop playin it for a while because its stupid to try for somethin will a 4 in 1 million shot to get it

1,000+... dam. Good thing most of it wasn't because of losses huh? It sucks that I didn't play you guys. Hey, I am wondering if there is a "Suckiest Luck" Award for those of us who had a power outage followed by a power surge that prevented us from partaking in the rest of the glory that was Bungie Day. Sorry, but I missed it due to that. Oh, well, I'll just play Bungie the old fasion way... poison their water and steal their beer.

(Kidding about that "Suckiest Luck" award!)

Unlucky man, I played alot of games...then i won 7 strait. i thought winning 7 games strait may be a secret thing to getting recon but i guess not.......

WHY CANT 7 STRAIT WINS BE A SECRET THING BUNGIEEE :(

  • 07.10.2009 9:31 PM PDT

I thought i should add that although Bungie was (discouring name) I did enjoy the hours on Halo 3 in Bungie vs. World to find out there was a whole four employes playing thank you so much Bungie for letting me experience the wonder feeling in trying to find 4 wasted Bungie employes in the 200,000 people in the playlist.

  • 07.10.2009 9:51 PM PDT

I had been looking forward to Bungie Day for a while, unfortunately I was out of town due to work, and missed out on any opportunities. I could not even convince my wife to play Halo for me :(

The news story was fun reading, just like the whole discussion that is going on. Thanks to Bungie for supporting the Halo Community, giving back to your fans and members, and for working through the night (plus the extra time and effort) to make it happen.

I hope that you will have more events like this, and not just for Bungie Day.

Good Luck with ODST!

Whoever lost should kill themselves. No really, I mean it.

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.

Well it was fun, i guess. I walked away reconless, but i had some fun and played with some good people, so I guess Bungie day was still great success.

Bungie day was so much fun, but I wish that they would have given out some more recon. Maybe to people who had 7 exp as well for people like me who were only able to play for a couple of hours and get a few games under their belt.
