dear bungie:
Thank you bungie for helping out...it's nice to see a company aware of the world around them and makes me proud to be a member of the Halo community...on the other hand I become embarrased again when I read the posts from these losers complaining that you didn't give them their weekly fix about playlists and halo3 (ahem, I mean your "next project")...

dear aforementioned losers:
shut up -blam!-es, buy a shirt and just shut up! there is more to life than halo, wake up and have some compassion, think of how many people just lost their entire life's worth of blood sweat and tears in less than a week's time and all you can do is -blam!- about the bungie crew having social awareness...you know what save your money, don't buy a shirt, don't help these people out...BUY A DAMN CLUE!

...just my 5 cents...

thanks again bungie...you rock!

I dont care about the flood, theres more important issues like Africa, and other countrys full of poverty, america has enough money to sort orleans out even though i feel sorry for them people. but i dont see bungie making t-shirts for the africans.

Everyone buy a shirt this is a horrible time in LA. Where are all the other countries that we help in aid? Thanks Scott2k22 for caring about United States I wish more people besides you who live out of United States would help.


Canada has offered to help. Our military even owns a very unique portable water treatment system that can turn the street sludge into drinkable water and we have offered to bring it but the US government has responded. Can't say we didn't try.

I'll buy a shirt on the 15th of September. My credit card is currently maxed out. After I make a payment I'm buying one.

Last year in Edmonton, Alberta Canada we had a MASSIVE rain storm that overloaded our sewer systems and flooded our streets and filled a LOT of basements with water. It seemed like a huge problem at the time, but after seeing the streets of New Orleans, it now seems like nothing at all now. My heart goes out to the people of that city. It's going to be a long road ahead.

Good luck in the recovery. Canada wishes all the best.

Everyone needs to do their part and help the people of New Orleans. I live in Florida and I've seen my share of hurricanes, but this is the worst one I've ever seen and those people are going to need your help. Put yourself in their shoes, would you want someone to help you out; even if it was only $5. So do your part, help out, give what you can. Thats what the Cheif would do.

I live in the UK and I'm gutted by the aftermath of Katrina. I really feel for everyone affected. I'd like to buy a T-shirt but I'm certain the Bungie Store don't normally deliver to the UK. Will the aid T-shirt be an exception??

To all the retarded people in america like this guy.....I promise you one thing...and that is if your house was under 12 feet of water and your dog was floating down the river....you wouldn't care about the new playlists or halo 3! You wouldn't even have a house to play halo 3 at for one. You should probably just buy a tshirt donate blood and look at last weeks update it said about when the new playlists are out and some of the new things.

I'm in a group at school, it's called YEP (Youth Empowerement Project). There are 16 people in this group and it is dedicated to raising money and distributing it out to people, communities, and disasters. We have raised $500 so far for the relief aid of Hurricane Katrina. I live in Missouri, so I'm not that far away from Louisiana. I've seen pictures and many people have come up here to Branson and Springfield to stay with relatives and hotels. Many hotels here are giving out rooms to those who need them. Anyways, I don't live in Springfield, but I live like 40 miles away from it and I've seen people from Louisiana and Mississippi up here. I wish there was more that a 16 year old could do, but I'm doing everything I can to help. I've donated money from my own pocket and I'm getting this $500 dollars to go to the relief aid. I hope we can raise more, but for right now this is what my group has. So are you guys doing anything else?

The other $5 probably goes to the cost of making the shirts and to partially cover the salary of those packing the orders.

To those of you -blam!-ing about not having a "real" update: You're worse than the looters and represent the very worst humanity has to offer, you should kill yourselves.

To posters in other countries: Thank you for your kindness. It's not often that we're the ones that need help, it's too bad our administration is too arrogant to except aid. At least you tried.

I make 7.69 an hour working a full time job, and I bought a shirt. No, I can't afford it, and my car insurance is going to be late this month because of it, but that's not important right now. People ARE dying, and that's all that matters. If I can do it so can everyone else. Please, please buy a shirt if you haven't already. Bungie, you rock!

I have seen multiple companies that are finding ways to raise money to send to the Red Cross and I am glad to see Bungie chipping in too. It is also good that they (claim) are not making a profit off of the situation too.

My town is doing it's own collection for the Red Cross. This is a link to a small article about it. They've been here all day collecting money, canned goods, bottled water, diapers and other vital items that are being shipped as we speak down to the gulf states. I'm sure this is being done in other cities too. Locally, we've raised nearly $500,000 (the link says over $300,000 but the total has since grown a lot). I just thought that I would share this information to let everyone know that there are people out there who care and that are actually stepping up to the plate to do something to help our fellow Americans.

Someone has to do something about CAGD. He is spamming this important thread with racist propaganda. He is much worse than those apathetic jerks complaining about the update, He is using this disaster to spread his mindless hate. There is no worse scum on the face of this planet and, Bungie, he is using your forum to recruit others. Stop him now.
