Subject: Well the fans shine now.

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

To be honest, I am enraged. Truly. Now if I had not gotten one at all, I'd be just bummed out. But I bought one, then cancelled it, then found out they were legit. Thats my big problem, and I'm one to get really worked about these kinda things and I probably won't drop it for a while.

My anger spree being explained, I want to say that I still love you Bungie. Even though- Ya know what, screw the blame game.

You guys make great games, you really do. You treat the community well and know how to throw a hell of a party. I've dreamed of working for you since soon after Halo 1 came out. I still have that dream. Things like this happen a lot, tense moments cause tense actions and big screwups with both parties. In this case, it doesn't matter to me.

Yes I'm pissed as hell about what happened and I hope something happens to at least compensate or apologize for this. (Maybe even permanently unlock Bungie chesplate in Halo 3 plz? :3) But I'm not going to let this ruin my love for my favorite company. I love what you guys are doing with the money and Aerospace is a brilliant idea that I think will shoot many indie developers to the stars.

Thanks for at least giving us all a shot at this. Can't wait to see what's really in store on 7/7/11.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

+1, good man.

Same thing happened to me with the whole bought and cancelled thing. At this point I am just angry that Bungie has given us NO update about the situation.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

That's fine, you'll be replaced by a PS3, mobile phone user, or PC user when their next game releases.

Why did you cancel when the order STATED THE BAG CAME FROM THE BUNGIE STORE?

  • 06.30.2011 1:24 PM PDT

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

Finally, an actual sane person.

Anyone could put that!

Nice to see someone being reasonable around here about the whole situation. I was mad, yes, but I'm not going to flood the forums with "Y u betray me" topics.

Yeah, and I can honestly say this isn't the first time something like this has happened to me so for it to happen again should just make me not wanna be a fan of Bungie anymore, but I'm not like that. I know -blam!- goes down and in the real world you can't really correct it so well.

I congratulate everyone who had the balls to risk their 42 bucks on something that could have been a hoax and I can't wait to see what everyone got. I'll be sitting here still with my Bungie T-Shirt I bought way back and playing some Aleph One and Halo with friends of mine that appreciate Bungie just as much as I do.

Who knows, the patient few that end up sticking around may get a better reward than nothing.

Like I said, I'd honestly drop it all if they just give me my flaming helmet permanently in Halo 3 :3

You can pick from a pool of local people that ship to reduce personal shipping costs. They could have picked Bungie Store to try to make it seem legitimate.

The Ban Hammer is all that was and all that will be! The Ban Hammer is time and space, life and death! The Ban Hammer can see into your mind! The Ban Hammer can see into your soouull....

I tried to order from the Gorilla place when it first came up, i was skeptic, by it was an amazon store, so I tried to process and it said "Nothing in stock" so i assumed it was just a copy-site trying to fish for credit cards...but if it was legit, it would have been proper for bungie to tell everyone in some form...and if they are sold out, they should as well tell us immediately afterward...

i hate being in the dark as to why they ruined my day with this bait and switch

  • 06.30.2011 1:30 PM PDT

Very well said. I'm very saddened by this whole situation. On one hand, lots of people who had the opportunity, but hesitated, missed out and those who might have actually been entitled to some love from Bungie really missed out (I am not in anyway saying I'm entitled to anything). On the other hand, these are merely material items and do not saying anything about your worth as a human being. This is something I must ponder.

Agree to a degree. I still like Bungie, but we're no longer the best of friends and are on a leave from each other.

See even I'd be like that again, but why get mad at them for one bad move over a decades worth of fantastic moves that made you fall in love with them in the first place?

  • 06.30.2011 1:40 PM PDT

Because this whole thing was within their power. This happened because it was meant to happen. Heck, I'd feel better if they would respond already but Bungie has yet to say anything despite how angry many of their fans are.

If Bungie really was doing all the right moves in all the right places, they would have responded by now. Their continued silence is only making things worse.

Or maybe they actually thought this out a lot better than any of us anticipated and are making more bags right now and will announce it tomorrow night? Hence why they're being quiet about it.

I mean I doubt Urk is actually stuffing them himself but I bet he's busy helping somehow in the process. I wouldn't be surprised if we see another wave soon.

  • 06.30.2011 1:44 PM PDT

Even if they did have more coming, best case scenario, they can at least apologize for switching sellers like that. I think most of us can agree that that wasn't the right thing to do.

And I mean, or I will seriously be done with these -blam!-s.

That's fine, you'll be replaced by a PS3, mobile phone user, or PC user when their next game releases.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, retard

do you seriously think that bungie is going to -blam!- up their xbox users? we're the reason why they even -blam!- exist.

i got ce back in 04 along with a ton of other people, and we are the ones that made them -- not phone playstation users, not pc users (for the most part), and most definitely not the phone users.

and besides, who gives a -blam!- about aerospace, except us and people who use the internet a ton

bungie is just sucking a profit for this one

  • 06.30.2011 1:52 PM PDT

"I don't have time Phfor this"
I pledge to punch all switches, to admit the existence of no level but total carnage, AND TO NEVER LEAVE A SINGLE BOB ALIVE!

Finally some well thought out and structured opinions amid all the chaos of complainers. Good job OP.
P.S. We both share that dream, but I have to go to collage first. I'm starting in the fall majoring in computer science.

Yeah...

Bungie existed long before the Xbox on the Mac and had a huge following. As for Combat Evolved, good for you for buying the game, I did to. Their next game is going multiplatform and Aerospace will only increase their fanbase. You can think you're special, but honestly, nobody here is.

PS, calling me a retard when you have terrible grammar and spelling is laughable.
