So what's the point? An armor is meant to be used. Not even Bungie employee wear it because they are harassed by players who constantly send them messages. By giving out flaming helmet they could play again in peace...


Peace? No. The community would find something else to nag them about. You know how it goes- if you give a mouse a recon... it's going to want a glass of flaming chest.

There's nothing more than Bungie chest, and only one month separates us from Halo Reach, so why don't give it to us?

i think its ironic that bungie made this a hot topic because the symbol is a flaming creature and this is about flaming heads


I didn't asked flaming topic, but flaming helmet!! LOL.

That's exactly the reason- there is nothing else left. Bungie has ONLY the flaming armor to set them apart in Halo 3. People cried out when recon was only awarded at Bungie's discretion, so they crafted the Vidmaster challenges so anyone could get it. Then, because they are just that cool, they unlock Bungie chest pieces for the whole world on Bungie Day. On top of that, they're offering sweet preorder bonuses with Reach. Isn't that enough?

Why are you against Bungie chest? None of you say why, I would like to know the reason. And for the last time I'm talking about HALO 3. I'm NOT talking about HALO REACH.

That's what I did on Bungie Day 2010. They gave for one day Bungie CHest. When a friend of mine told me this, I immediately left Mass Effect 2 (and I was in the middle of final mission) and went on Halo. Now I alternate Halo with other games, but with Bungie chest I would play Halo all day.

the reason why we don't have it is because of the lag it can cause, big team would be completely ruined if everyone turned up in flames, ever wondered why the was no firebomb grenades in matchmaking? cause of the lag it could cause.

But that was one day, you could come across countless games full of lag just because you didn't see any for 1 day doesn't mean it will never affect you, don't get me wrong i would love flames, but maybe just restrict it to custom games so atleast matchmaking isn't ruined. also the reason everyone came on bungie day was because they new that this was likely a once in a lifetime oppurtunity for halo 3, it was kind for bungie to let us have recon, it was even kinder that they let us have flaming helmet for a day, don't get greedy.

hey think for one moment that what would happen if everone had it , and if they do give it out it should be in a contest.

Lag affects me in some games, in some not (and I don't have flames, none does). It wouldn't be possible to restrict an armor only to custom games... and it will be pointless. A good part of people came on Bungie Day only for Bungie chest, then returned to other s-blam!-y games like CoD or GoW. With Bungie chest more people than now will came to Halo. And I'm not greedy, cause only one month separate us from Halo: Reach. It could be a present to us from Bungie. They'll reach perfection if they give flames to everyone from now on.

Why?

because everyone would wear it and i for one don't care if bunige has a armor that no one else can have ,but if and i mean if they do give it out only a limited amount of people should get it.

i think they should give it away to people who have proven themselves in battle aka high ranked players


That would be good. Maybe people with at least the rank of Colonel (to avoid second accounters).

Don't give your hopes up pal, bungie knows what it takes to make a fair game, just because its nearly the start of a new halo game doesn't mean that bungie would be willing to sacrifice some peoples gameplay over a silly little armour permutation that everyone will soon be sick off. How do you know that COD fans and other fans came to play halo 3 on that 1 day? if you have evidence, great, if you don't then your arguement isn't valid.

1) Aren't we in a Country with Freedom of Speech?
2) Don't wear it if you don't like it, and it won't ruind gameplay (it will make it better)
3) Look at my FL...they aren't playing Halo now. On Bungie day I had a 30+ full Halo 3 List. Normally I have only 10-15 Friends at once (and not in Halo 3). ANd look at MY Matchmaking history. I restarted to play on 07/07 after 2 months of absence...

I achieved my Recon armor through the screenshot contest Team Control, not Bungie Day or ODST. 5/29/09
No, Luke! Noo!
64th last player to play Halo 2 online.

Tell me, how would an armor permutation that makes you stick out make game-play better? It's simply an aesthetic and it would barely have an effect on game-play.
