Got my shirt today! Thanks! I've been wanting to buy something from the Bungie store for a while and I've been wanting to donate some money to Haiti. With what you guys did I hit two birds with one stone thanks for the opportunity you guyz are ossim.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.


Oh, and I did find myself more than a little bit mesmerized by the water that now pours out of a spillway grating into an azure manmade gully. It sort of gently rolls into the center of an interior space where it pools and ripples hypnotically before being channeled into a waterfall that drops out over the edge of the rocky canyon and into the raging canyon river below.

I too have found myself mesmerized by the tranquil words graciously placed here. While this has satisfied my current thirst for water related information. I am still interested as to when the general public shall be treated to more information about this all important liquid in addition to the possibility of receiving images related to water.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I love the new contest! I think it's a great idea to bring out people's artistic abilities, and their creativity.

Plus, I really like the Martydom animation at the end. Really nice!

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

You just got a lot of people's hopes up.
Unfortunately, this contest is not open to everyone (US and Canada only, for startersAnd then completely crushed them.

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.

Who else thinks Bungie should change Brig. Generals to look like this?

-Slindish

NA residents only. That sucks big time.
Pretty cool other than that. Eagerly awaiting more info.

Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

The winner will have their emblem design featured in Halo: Reach. Well pick the winners based on aesthetic considerations and bribes.


Dammit just wanted to send money :(

I am sad fasce =(
I can't enter the emblem competition because I live in the UK, its a hard life =(
Could I enter by asking another member to enter for me as a joint effort if they were nice enough?

Other than that, great update and I can't wait till next week, hopefully...

Get WorkPLaced!!

I was just watching a trailer for "Medal of Honor: Modern Combat", other than the dumb rip off sounding name, I thought it was awesome the way guns and grenades would sound different, and echo when they were in a building.

I thought to myself, "how awesome would it be if Halo had that kind of feature", and then I read the update. I'm so excited now to test out all of the sounds inside and out when I finally get my hands on Halo: Reach.

Unfortunately, this contest is not open to everyone (US and Canada only, for starters), because apparently we must adhere to our already well established and thoroughly regrettable xenophobia
Oh, come on Bungie!
Why?!

  • 01.23.2010 2:51 AM PDT

It really sucks about the North America only thing on the emblem contest. I was going to enter even though my emblem would have been absolute crap.

I would like to know how many people used the heart emblem for the Be A Hero thing too.

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

I watched that Oonsk video, and I still don´t get what´s so funny about it.
Anyways, it´s great to finally have a "real" update!

  • 01.23.2010 3:02 AM PDT

I doubt I'll get an answer, but can any of the Bungie employees clarify EXACTLY why non-US residents can't participate legally? It just doesn'r make any sense and quite frankly seems something that could legally be construed as racist or otherwise unreasonable bias towards others, a fair complaint.

  • 01.23.2010 4:43 AM PDT

My emblem I'm working on is super awesome. I'm surprised it isn't already in a Halo game. :D

This faith is my state.....otherwise Babylon.

So US residents only...again *thinks back of Halo 3*?

I'm not a lawyer but wherein lies the problem with allowing foreigners to participate in the emblem "contest"? I was under the impression that most copyright laws, if that is what this is about, were pretty much the same in the developed world. Either way, shouldnt some form of agreement solve it?

That aside, nice update and awesome pic in the header so kudos to whoever took that one.

The Mayans were the most epic trolls EVAR.
