@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.


I agree, but work on how you word things! That was almost reportable!


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.


Alright. I know a bit about stress myself (for a fourteen year old high-schooler) having lived through poverty both in the U.S. and in Central America.

Bungie, Bungie, Bungie... They make great games, are involved with their community, and help the world! You guys have hearts. I have too changed my emblem to support those hurt at Haiti. Stay strong guys; may God be with you.

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.


$77,000 plus all the profits gained from the Bungie store untill the end of Feb. That's a lot of money. At least they are helping. All IW is doing is posting a twitter asking people to donate $5 and nothing out of the company's pockets.

Think about it, WoopyD. No "update" this week means twice the update next week, right?

Man I hope so. I don't want people ragging on me for saying that. Just hopefully it works like that. I'm tired of reading all the halo reach magazines seeing cool pics not out yet. Come to the website where they actually make the game.....and nothing.

Bungie wants Reach to be radiating from their every pore, but they aren't allowed to tell us much, if anything at all. By withholding information for a few weeks, the get more material for the info-starved weeks ahead.

Bungie.net user for 4 years and still going!
Plasmalab, a great map for Neutral CTF or Slayer. Download it and have fun. Version 1.1 now available.
Do not send me group invites I will NOT accept them.
TRIPLE SE7EN PWNAGE

I wish I could participate in the Halo 3 emblem thing, but alas I am barred from playing during the week. :(

Hopefully I will be able to buy a t-shirt tomorrow. :)

I also love how the ODST picture has the service tags read out "BE A HERO" vertically.

Cheers to that, my High School raised $3000 for Haiti today, and would sure love to contribute more.

And as I can't contribute Shirt-wise (Canadian) I'll be sure to log on for the XBL portion. ;)

  • 01.15.2010 7:32 PM PDT

I'll be honest, I don't know much about the Haiti incident as I should because I've been busy with University but if it's anywhere near as bad as how Urk has explained it then I'll be doing my part by playing and purchasing that shirt.

This really shows that Bungie is a caring company, they love their fans and the world and they'll do anything to help it.

This is why I love Bungie! Keep up the good work.

That's the spirit! Everyone should at least try to be active in this situation, and Bungie is doing their part. Glad to see the 7th Column doing the same!

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

Just bought the shirt. Great thinking Bungie!

Bungie, I have a great deal of respect for you, and I look up to you guys, but this? This is low.

Sure, it's a helpful thing you're doing, but why is it you guys have never (or rarely) done this before. There's genocide in Darfur, there's aborted girl babies in China, there's corruption in South America, is Haiti better then them? Why not help other people of the world? Why are you giving away your charity exclusively?

It seems you only donate when disaster strikes, and don't help currect torments in the world. I find this charity a joke and a mockery to the rest of the world, and I'm deeply ashamed.

If helping a country that was almost completely destroyed in one night causes you shame, then just don't help. But don't run around telling Bungie how wrong they are to aid dying Haitians.

  • 01.15.2010 8:21 PM PDT

A terrific cause, guys. I'll be purchasing that shirt within the next several days.

Simply put, I'm not helping, but I'm allowed to share my opinion on the subject.

Plus, I never used the word "wrong"
