Subject: Please limit swag bags to 1 per person!

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

I'm leaning towards buying a second one if I can just to spite all the people feeling so entitled. Bungie said "you can buy multiples" so why are you all so upset? Their game, their rules. YHNR.


Still haven't seen anyone suggest a way to actually limit it to one per person that would work, which I imagine is one reason why Bungie didn't even try.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Well, good for you for(most likely) neglecting your work, but some of us don't have that luxury, so missing out on the swag bags isn't solely the fault of the people that missed out. For example, I've been out most of the morning prepping for an interview I have soon, then afterwards I'm taking my son to a movie for his birthday. I'm not neglecting any of that to sit in front of a computer and F5 all day like some people, and that doesn't make me any less of a fan.


Sometimes waiting hours at a computer clicking F5 is what you have to do.

There are THOUSANDS of halo fans that want a swag bag, so it is in high demand and you HAVE to act fast.
Sometimes going to work, Actually working to keep said job, and paying rent are what you have to do.


That's life, there are thousands wanting the swag sack so it is not just coming back after 7 hours an buying it.

Not only did this post not make any sense, you seem to still be completely oblivious to what we've been saying.

Alot of hardcore Halo fans don't have the luxury of not having the responsibilities of work or families, and actually have to work or do other obligations they have to uphold instead of being able to sit on B.net for hours refreshing for news on the swag sacks. I can think of about 10-15 right now that are probably bigger Halo fans than you, that didn't ever have an opportunity to get a Swack. So you can just drop the whole 'Oh well we're more dedicated because we took time out to make sure we got them and you didn't' act, because it's downright childish and insulting.

Nah, we still have about a week until they release the second batch.

I bought 50 swag bags, all for me. Blew my last 8 paychecks.


This son, is a genuine JACKASS.


Who are you to call me names and tell me what I can and can't do with the money I earned?


Because you were a complete whore with the LIMITED EDITION SWAG BAGS EVERYBODY WANTS. For every one you buy, that's another one you're stealing from somebody eager to get one.

This thread has brought me to the conclusion that a lot of people are terribly stupid and butthurt. I also doubt happymeals was serious. He was just trolling and you fell for it.

People are mad becuase the couldn't make the sale in time.

500 is not a lot for the massive size of our community, that is why Bungie said "limited edition".

Some people have to realize that not everyone can get a swag bag, it is impossible.

Just assuming that he meant that it would be a week from when they posted.

This along with the fact that Bungie is in one time zone. They can't ensure that everyone will be home from their jobs that they work so hard to keep.

I wish they would state when they believe more would be in stock then i could just keep an eye on the site til such time

One per person isn't happening. We all know that.

So instead of actually discussing anything, this thread is full of whining.

  • 06.28.2011 6:01 PM PDT

The biggest problem here isn't that there are thousands of Halo fans that want this opportunity, it's that there are people selfish enough to not want to share this gift that Bungie's giving us with the rest of the community. By ordering more than one of these extremely rare collectibles just isn't fair to your fellow community members. It's being selfish and denying another person the opportunity to enjoy Bungie's generosity. Limiting one per person would even make it so that people wouldn't be prone to complaining to those who did get the Swag Bags because they simply weren't at the right place at the right time.

If Bungie was our parents, I'm sure they'd be extremely disappointed in all this squabbling. I doubt the store will limit to one per person, so please limit yourself to one Swag Bag this Thursday for you fellow members. Giving another person that opportunity is generous enough.

And on the seven7h day......

I hope they do that, but unfortunately, my neighborhood lost power during the selling time, so no bag for me.

To be completely honest, I completely agree with this post. We all know damn well that the Halo Community isn't known for waving money good-bye, from Recon to early access beta-codes.

That being said, I admit that I plan on purchasing three, if I can make it in time. One is for myself, and the other two I'll be giving away. If luck has it that I only get one, then so be it. One is more than enough for anyone, especially if they're trying to profit off them.
