By real fans do you mean idevice nerds? I knew about it all time but i couldn't get it,cuz i don't have any iDevice except for an iMac. But bungie should have made it avaible through bungie.net


...it was. For two weeks.

There was an applet embedded in the middle of the front page to Bungie.net with a pretty little button that said "Activate Flames Now!"

Re-read my original post; I stated this same information there. It was also stated in Bungie's Weekly Updates leading up to Bungie Day for those who were too blind to see the applet staring them right in the face, and it was on the forums, and on Waypoint...

Again, all fault here lies with the users; there was plenty of advance warning, plenty of time to claim the flames, and they put the bloody applet on the front page just because it would be easier to see/find there.

During the giveaway, it was also one of the log-in messages for Reach, just like on weekends when you log in and there's a message telling you what playlists have the super jackpots going.

As far as being on holiday, you were honestly gone without a computer for an entire month? Two weeks of warning that it was coming, and then two weeks to claim the flames.

It was a party gift given to those who attended the party; those who couldn't be bothered to attend a party which lasted two weeks don't get the gift that says "I was there!"

  • 08.03.2011 7:53 AM PDT

okay, will there be another chance for us to get a blue flame helmet or was this just a once in a lifetime thing?

It was Bungie's parting gift to us before they handed Halo over to 343i; Bungie is no longer in control of Halo or what we do and do not get.

343i could reissue the blue flames, but that wouldn't be right; the flames were from Bungie to the loyal fans who made sure to be here for Bungie day, and they would lose their significance if 343i just handed them out for the hell of it.

In a way, it would almost be like them spitting on Bugie if they did that.

Blue flames are gone, most likely forever.

well why still give out the name plates but not the helmet?

I was not aware the Bungie nameplates were still available; I thought that was supposed to end on Bungie Day as well.

That's the All-Star nameplate, not the Bungie nameplate. All-Star for Iphone, Bungie is no longer available.

So because they sent out a notice and people were too lazy to read it, it's Bungie's fault? Yeah, no; doesn't quite work that way.

And the "I was too busy playing another Halo game to get the Reach message because I'm such a true fan" is an invalid excuse; again, it was advertised on the front page of Bungie.net, the forums, and Waypoint for a bloody month.

Like it's been reiterated a thousand times now, blue flames are no longer available; the giveaway ended at approximately 12:01 AM July 8th.

now im not gonna lie, im not a "die hard" fan that plays halo every waking moment of the day (because i have a life and i work a full time job) bu i do love this game, one of the best games ever created in my opinion, but seriosly what is so important about having blue flames that is making you all throw your dummy out of the pram, coz u "havnt got the best toy in the store"

Jesus christ!! just turn on ur xbox, sign onto xbox live, load up your game, and just ENJOY THE GODDAMN GAME!!!!!!!! who cares if you got blue friggin flames!! surely if u come top of the leaderboard thats better than the guy with the blue flames if hes at the bottom, ignore the novelties, go back to the core and go shoot the -blam!- outta some people!!!

Regards.....
