We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

Is there going to be a nag message (the ones that pop up when you start up Halo 3) about this? I think it would help reach more people.

I will definitely try to play some Halo for the cause, and I might be able to snag a T-shirt too.

I am getting really annoyed about people making fun of my name. It has a sentimental value. It was the name of my first character in a game were violence is the forte. I was 7 and the game was Daiblo.

I'm so sorry I can't play or buy that shirt :(

  • 01.15.2010 6:25 PM PDT

finally made me get that Blam! shirt I wanted too.

Now off to play some rumblepit, does H2 count?

A question about the emblem: Primary and secondary colors should be red and black respectively, but what about emblem background color? Does that make a difference?

fail weekly update.... seriously? This stuff is all over every other web site. it didn't need to be here also to cancel out a regular update....

just fail.


Not everyone uses a credit card, or pay pal for that matter. I do not use it for personal reasons, mainly not having a credit card to avoid identity theft which I had happen in the past no thanks to pay pal.

Ok, so they had an earthquake, big deal. Tragic events happen world wide everyday.


Just Fail.

I guess you never imagined what it would be like to have everything taken away from you from and uncontrollable natural disaster, do ya? These things can happen to anybody at anytime so don't think that you are safe, and when it happens to you, you will be grateful for those who go out on an extra limb to help you out.

It's just an update for a children's video game, there are much more important things going on in this world.


FOrget about a natual disaster, I have had my whole world taken away from me by my ex wife. because of her self righteous ass. I come to sites like this, to get away from the BS of the real world. If you knew half the -blam!- I been though kid, you would understand. Try spending 12 days in jail because your wife had a bipolar moment, and called the cops and lied to them crying Assault 4. Then trying to call the court date off because she didn't mean it.

Live my life kid, and you will understand real life.

There are way to many sites taking advantage of this event and keeping the money for themselves. There is this kind of magnitude stuff everyday. You just do not hear about it. You hear of this, because it is off our shores.

so keep your cry baby ideas to yourself, this is a gaming site, not a real world current events site. if I wanted to see this BS, I would go to yahoo or google.

I am rebuilding my whole life right now, because of my divorce from her.

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

What a joke. 77,000? How much money has Bungie made by charging fans for multiple map packs? Also the Halo ODST the expantion pack?

They should be donating 77 million. Why is the general population always having to go into their pockets when these huge corporations can afford to give so much more.

Never did I say Bungie would keep the money, I was referring to the fact there are other sites, and organizations that keep the money. I know Bungie would be better than that. But you just never really know about where the money goes after Bungie gives it away. Or the money from anyone else. See what I am saying?

A#1= Bungie isn't greedy and heartless, but I assume this is what they should expect, asking money from people like you who don't care for any but themselves. The injured Haitians need help, and Bungie Employees need to make a living.

B#2= ODST is no longer considered an expansion, and Bungie had no control over it's price anyway.

I understand, and it appears that I misinterpreted what you were saying. I agree that we live in an extremely corrupt world, but if the people give up and accept corruption as an inevitability, there is no hope of escaping it.

Seriously guys. Our lives may have problems, but these people in Haiti have absolutely nothing right now.

We take for granted the fact that we have the disposable income to pay for things like computers, internet, and TV sets. Most of the world doesn't have that. I'm sure that you can cough up 20 bucks for a shirt if you were planning on buying from the Store sometime soon. Or you could at least just play Halo on Wednesday. $100 per 1,000 may only make you seem like 10 cents, but you have no clue how far a little money can go.

Thanks Bungie, I was actually happier to see this than I would to see any Weekly Update.

@arbington - its ok. alot of people tend to do that. As my way of wording things can be a bit off at times. But yea, there is massive corruption within our society more than even cares to admit. It is already to late honestly.

But we can only hope enough makes it where it is supposed to go. I just rather Bungie not focus so fully on it, and give the gamers a place to get away from the BS of real life.

A very true quote.
Anyway, I'm pretty certain urk can only put things in about Bungie's games that he's allowed to put in by the company. He had nothing to put in today, but instead of just leaving us with no update for the week of January 15th, they give us this. I'm glad that Bungie's doing this.

I try. PTSD + High Stress related to my situation makes it a bit touchy for me to word things properly. I have gotten temp banned for it in the past, I just live and learn. Stress is a nasty thing to live with.

Good luck with this venture Bungie.

You are just one person. What you expeirenced, was a personal life disaster, but what the people of Haiti are going through is a natural disaster, which is IMO, much more critical compared to your little personal life problems you went through.

All it takes is a little reasoning and common sense to see the bigger picture here.

You are still alive.
You are not dying.
You have food and water.
You are on the internet.
Everything around you is not in ruins. (Even though you may say if feels like it is, in reality, it isn't.)
All your basic needs are met.
People are not dying around you.
Your country is not in bits and shambles.

And most importantly... You still have a chance at second life unlike those unfortunate souls. So try to not look at just your perspective and realize that all disasters are disasters.

You think that a little breakup and some time in jail is a much bigger catastrophe from a worldly POV? Just because you are going through a tough time doesn't mean that helping others around you don't matter.
