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.

Why are there two swag bag slots on the Bungiestore?

Because people were F5'ing so much they had to make a new listing to be able to put it up for sale.

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.


Except if you told your friend, 'I'll be there around 10', and don't show up until later, he doesn't have the right to be pissed off. You said 'around 10', something could've come up that you had to take care of, etc.

Everyone decided to ignore the fact that Bungie NEVER said 10 AM PST on the dot, and mass-F5ed the Bungie Store into derping. It affected the process on the Amazon end, which they were trying to fix, except everyone kept F5ing despite being asked not to.

I really don't see why everyone is blaming Bungie. Because they didn't anticipate this? Who are we to say that they didn't, and whatever they had planned for it didn't work? We're not, because we don't know any better. Like I said before, everyone is feeling entitled, with no justification for it. Grow up.


I have a hard time believing you'd be so understanding had you not gotten TWO! Most of us didn't get one, been watching it since well before the time they said and and then 2 and a half hours later nothing changed, we have a right to be a little upset, and you have no right to be all high and mighty, telling us to be understanding when you got TWO!

Its funny how many people are willing to turn their back on a company for such a simple mistake. It was most likely the only way to get the Bag up within a reasonable time. They stated Amazon didn't give them an ETA. Plus Hal confirmed the seller at 12:01. Revan reposted a little after that. I bought mine somewhere in between the original and repost. We even had multiple people with pictures showing Bungie Store and the seller profile links to the Bungie Store.

You act like your entire halo/marathon/oni/PoD career was leaning on this one Bag O'Swag.

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

That, and they're in denial. It's a LIMITED item. 777 for the 100,000 people that want them. Know what that means? Not everyone is going to get one, no matter how many times they press F5, no matter how many servers they crash, and no matter how much they complain. This was explained from the beginning.

Yeah, it sucks if you didn't get one. But that's how stuff like this works. I've seen a few people say that Bungie didn't even have to do any of this for us, which is absolutely true. But they did, because they love their Community. And they sure don't deserve all the hate we're sending them right now.

we all had a role to play in this.
In the negative aspects of the outcome? false.


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.
The people who stopped are stupid.

In a competition, people will always do something to put themselves at a higher chance of succeeding. This should've been known. If they were thinking that every last person on this forum wasn't going to f5, they're retarded.


The people who stopped are stupid? Did I read that right? my god sir.

Yes, it is a competition but still the 2 companies asked you to stop f5ing them...if you kept going noone would have anything. You think Bungie owes you something? You're not entitled to anything in this world.

Like I've said, Bungie didn't have to do anything for any of us.

Well that was a beter train ride than expected. Girlfriend phoned me, had forgotten my amazon login. Few seconds after confirming I had me a swag bag :D There was a points failure on the line as well, so I got diverted to a closer station <3 To top it off, Deadmau5's Strobe was playing on my phone when I got the phone call <3 <3 <3
Bungie are quite cloak and dagger about things - halo easter eggs anyone - so i'm not surprised about the page change.

I'm fed up, and cannot be bothered any more. A bunch of no-lifes managed to get the bags earlier after F5ing all day long, both on the first day of release, and today. Meanwhile, people like me have had our lives to get on with, namely in the form of jobs or feeding our families, as the sale time is late in the evening for us in the UK. Many of these tards aren't even true fans of Bungie, and have only been around since Halo 3 or even Reach. These people in particular piss me off. I've been a fan of Bungie since at least 2001, when I first played a Marathon game at the ripe age of 8. Ten years down the line, all I have to show for my fandom is a silly blue bar on their site, while people who have only just been introduced to Bungie are sitting there with their swag bags, claiming to be huge fans.

Yes, I am irritated that I didn't get a bag. No, it's not the end of the world. I'll probably just get a Burn Bright, Burn Blue shirt. But my point still stands. Anyone who has only been here since Halo 3 or later and bought a Swag Bag: you disgust me.

Only one. I tried to get two, but then read the LIMIT ONE, and placed it for a single bag. It went through I even have the pics to prove it. Now I just got an email saying that it was canceled for being out of stock!

For the lucky individuals who have placed an order. Did you get a confirmation email yet? and if so how long did it take for you to receive it after placing your order?

I got one, I think. No mail. But it says shipping soon and I can't change anything anymore so it's all in the hands of amazon now. :( I just hope I didn't wait 3 hours for nothing... and the whole week before today.
