I would like to start this off by congratulating anyone who won steak, I did not read all of the information on all of Bungie's games so I don not know how many of you there are. Either way, you make us proud. Now, for the main reason I wrote this. I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed for a few reasons with Bungie Day. Now before you get the wrong idea; I love Bungie, Halo, and the 30 000 credit bonus that came with the Bungie Day playlist. However, I was disappointed for a few SMALL reasons.

First up: very limited maps and game variants within the Bungie Day playlist. I can understand the 'Slayer only' game set up as it was necessary for the steaktacular event. The limited maps, however, was not entirely necessary. I spent a large amount of the 24 hour period in the playlist and, by the end, I was voting for the lesser of what seemed to all be repetitive decisions. I suppose that is my own fault for playing as many rounds as I did but I badly wanted to compete against some of the Bungie staff.

This brings me to my second point and that is the very limited number of Bungie teams involved. I was hoping for two to four Bungie teams playing at any given time but with only one, many die-hard fanatics never even got a glimpse of a bungie employee, myself unfortunately being one of those people. This is not my reason for writing this, I just felt that feedback might be helpful to those interested.

I was also somewhat disappointed with the number of people posing as members of the Bungie teams by mimicking the armor and emblem of the Bungie teams (I know it wasn't hard but still). It was quite obvious that they were fakes when their names did not mention some type of beef. Which, on it's own, was a very interesting way for Bungie to separate themselves from the heard so to speak. I was also somewhat disappointed with the apparent skill level of the Bungie teams (no offence, you would still probably beat me :P). I assumed that the win/loss ratio would be much closer.

These few things aside, I enjoyed my first Bungie day quite a bit. I did not encounter anyone online who was rude or too obnoxious and there was minimal T-bagging to mention. It was as Bungie had likely hoped it would be; A friendly, fun, and competitive community day with great results and greater participants. Thank you bungie for hosting this and best of luck with your future endeavors and thank you to the community for a great 24 hours of competitive, entertaining gaming.

I still wouldn't mind playing a few matches with Bungie employees (or community members if you would like) so if anyone would like to play a few rounds with or against me shoot Knight Lucky a message, don't be shy ;) As for the rest of you, I'll see you on the battle field.

Sincerely, Knight Lucky

You took the words right out of my mouth, every word in that speach I agree with. But love Bungie Incredibly. I wish I could've gone agains them also :( not enough teams like u said urself.

I agree there should have been more people playing than just 4 but i quite enjoyed it even though I didnt find them because I reached the credit cap from playing it ALL day.

Yh and it gave u the thrill of matching up with Bungie Employes. Like when you search ur awaiting to see if u get to play Bungie with hope in your gut.

  • 07.08.2011 5:35 AM PDT

very much agreed. I would add one more small complaint. The credit cap needed to be turned off yesterday. With so many hard corps fans out there playing all day, your credit limit is reached in short order considering 777 minimum slots, 7777 occasional super slots and possible 30,000 jackpot. I reached my limit in less than 6 hours of playing. I cant imagine the people who play 24 hours straight. There is no compensation for waiting for the chance to play the extremely rare (aka singlular) bungie squad.

all the whining aside, I had a fantastic time playing. It was very competitive and entertaining day!!! I look forward to playing next year in memory of bungie. I even learned a few new strategies as well. My personal favorite moment was on Reflection when a friend and I simultaneously stuck an opponent on each side of his face. (We termed this a double blue face). Much love to you bungie fans out there, hopefully you have recovered or are in the process of sleeping in.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Add me if you like!

I agree to everything that was said, the problem is; I have 11 thank the maker medals and I have no idea where I got them. I also agree that there should have been more teams for bungie

  • 07.08.2011 6:15 AM PDT

I can agree with the more teams idea; I must have played for 8 hours yesterday, and I didn't see them once. Honestly, it was a little depressing, considering all I did that day was play a lot, and eventually get promoted to Brigadier.

Yes, This is my Signature. Thanks for Clicking :D

We Love you bungie

I got the 30,000 bonus credits so I am happy. But I think the steaks were a stupid idea. Even if I won one it would probably be rotten by the time it got to where I live in Australia. Yeah the flaming helmet was cool but now everyone has it. They needed to provide players with cool yet exclusive in-game prizes e.g special helmets for people who earn a certain amount of credits or a exclusive armour effect for people who win games by 7 points (Kinda silly ideas but you get the idea) Its just that I didn't feel Bungie gave us something special.

  • 07.08.2011 7:00 AM PDT

just figured I would add a few things to clear some comments up.

First up, the steaks: If you lived outside of the US they send a coupon.
Second, Credit cap: Please don't report me for this as I did not know it really worked and I was curious. I read yesterday on a forum that you could kill your credit cap once a day by changing your XBOX 360 time zone so that it was a different day. I tried it and it worked. At first I was excited and then I got the 30000 jackpot again and was even more excited. Now I'm worried that Bungie will reset me or something so I am coming clean, If Bungie employees read this, You can take ALL of yesterdays credits, just please don't reset me, I worked so hard for my credits, this is my first offence, and I didn't even know if it would really work...yes, I'm groveling.

Finally, I agree with all of the comments on how much fun it was, I had a blast and made some new XBOX Live friends that I was proud to play with. I even was able to help a large number of people who didn't know how to obtain their blue flames, Bungie nameplate, and star nameplate which made me fell pretty good. ^.^

Sincerely, the guy who is surprised there are no rude replies to my post (darn trolls are everywhere), Knight Lucky

I ended up with 48 :/ and I noticed that the description was this: Win a match when a Bungie fan is on the other team in matchmaking or custom game. Don't know if it was always like that or what.

I never had a chance to play on Bungie day. I lost my Live just in time to miss it. So just like most other people, I never for filled my dream of taking on a member of Bungie. I also just learned today about the blue flames. I got on today, so happy that I could finaly get the blue flames, to just be disapointed. I had no idea about them at all. I just wish I could have gotten them like everybody else, now im one of the unlucky few who never knew. Im just sad i will have to wait until next year to get another chance to play with the wonderful people at Bungie on Bungie day.
