Didn't Urk say you could buy multiples? Now they're saying it's limited to one per customer?
Regardless of what he said prior, this is how it always should have been anyways.

I can't believe a few people didn't get the bag and now they're crying and raging all over this forum. It's sad.
How is it sad?

I got one, but seriously, if you don't think that was handled retardedly, you need to think again.


We handled it the wrong way...not Bungie. They tried to put it up and we f5'd the hell out of those pages.
Which was totally unexpected, right?

No.

And how is that "handling it the wrong way"? It's a competition for a huge company with a very limited amount of product and very large amount of consumers.


It may have been unexpected but you could've ordered one and waited for confirmation. But 90% of people jumped the gun when one called foul. Yes, this was one big mess and we all had a role to play in this.

Now go get some rest I'm sure all of us are tired and grumpy...unless you wanna wait and get a bag if you haven't, which I have no clue if you have or not.

If I keep updating my order back to a quantity of 1, will that work? Or do I have to go back in from the Bungie store all over again?

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

What's funny is that people fail to realize that Bungie didn't have to do any of this for anyone. They could've remade some obscure map for Reach and called it a day. The fact that they're going through all of this trouble, and not actually see any profits from it, on top of dealing with butthurt kids who feel entitled, is pretty amazing.


I don't have to go pick up a friend who needs a ride, but when I say I will I'm expected to show up on time. What Bungie did is the equivalent of showing up 2 hours late with a car that barely runs.

Got one directly from the bungie store. Also got a conformation mail. Now gotta wait till it ships on 11th of July :(

Donuts > all other food

Thanks Bungie for making me bawl my eyes out.

Stupid -blam!- way to handle the situation. All my respect is gone.

hopefully we learned something from this for when a zombie apocalypse happens

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I think I'm either throwing my $40 for a poster or to pre-order Halo:CEA.

Unless the swag bag comes back like magic.

One thing we've all learned? Keep trying. That can't be 777 bags already. They must be updating in waves.

"I am Caboose, the vehicle destroyer!"

Spammed the one click order button on Amazon and I ended up getting it. Of course with my luck I'll get an email saying "We're sorry, the item you ordered was actually out of stuck, we have to cancel your order" :P There is still hope people!

That being said, I'm still not fond of how it was originally posted under a different company name and THEN switched to Bungie, but at least the profits are going to charity. Not all was lost.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Yeah, I do agree with you on that anyways. Not saying it was bad changing it to 1, and cancelling any extra bags.

Hallo :D

Well guys gorilla is real, they added them to the bungie store, proves their real.... im seriously REALLY pissed that this happened... I really wanted a swag bag ever since they announced they'll be doing this about 3-4 weeks ago :/

Thanks for the updates Bungie.

"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night."

I agree, corporate wise and business wise these guys are still noobs after 20 years. Glad they're taking a hike when it comes to Halo...

They didn't have to do any of this for any of us, sir.

Ordered 2. Got the confirmation email confirming I ordered 2. The only thing I'm iffy about is the shipping, the shipping total is $20.75, I figured it should've been something along the lines of $11.50. The actual item subtotal matches up as well. Weird.

How about the cowards at bungie come out and say something? Address the masses you've disappointed.

  • 06.30.2011 12:50 PM PDT

In a time long past, the armies of the Dark came again into the lands of men. Their leaders were known as the Fallen Lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the West.

Anybody else staring at their open order, secretly afraid it will disappear if they go do something productive with the rest of their day?

Ummmm yeah, we did actually. Very negative wise. Bungie told us to stop spamming f5 bombs and some did but others did not. So you tell me that's not a negative part of this outcome.
