I'm kinnda, mad i was in vacation the week the flaming blue helment came out. Some people say only serious halo fans got it because they are always online. Don't get me wrong i love halo just as much as the next guy. I think bungie, or 343 who ever owns Reach now, should give everybody who didnt get it, or didnt have time to get it, a second chance. Leave comments on what u think.

People didn't get blue flames because they were "serious fans".

Everyone - who owned an iOS device and downloaded the Bungie Mobile app - had many weeks to obtain the blue flame. It's fair.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

It wasn't just a week. You had many weeks to acquire them. If you didn't jump on the opportunity I'm afraid you missed out.

Fixed, lol. nerd is right, you had plenty of time to claim the blue flames and all stars nameplate.

You can't just come along and request them because you missed out. If you were a Bungie, more so Halo fan you should have visited more often.

I took a look at when the app released and I was literally shaking my head. #fail

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

I was on vacation too, and I still got it, you had a long time to get it.

I'm pretty sure on the Reach menu a notice popped up saying the app was out or that the blue flames and nameplates were out.

Still guess that wasn't enough notice for those who missed out.

Exactly. There were plenty of people talking about it and plenty of time.

Nope, I didn't get a second chance to get those gamerpics from '07 (I just didn't get on that day).

No, I do not want to join your clan/group.

It wasn't exclusive to iDevice owners; there was an applet in the middle of the front page of Bungie.net for everyone else for two weeks with a shiny little button that said "Activate Flames Now!"

There were plenty of options for people to get the flames, they were available for two weeks, and the giveaway was well-advertised to anyone who isn't illiterate.

Sorry for those that missed the giveaway, but that's 110% your fault.

And since it was Bungie's going-away gift before handing Halo off to 343, no, they will not be issued again.

  • 08.10.2011 1:56 AM PDT

I know I'm the odd one out, but I think people should get a second chance in obtaining a blue flaming helmet. Everyone should be treated fairly and there is no reason of Bungie to do this.

What part of "available for two weeks" and advertised for an additional two weeks prior is unfair?

That's a month.

It was Bungie's parting gift and they made no secret about the fact it was coming.

I hadn't played Halo since late November and yet somehow I managed to read the pesky little thing on the front page that said blue flames were coming in the two weeks leading up to Bungie Day.

What's your excuse?

Pretty much this. It was a special promotion, people had ample time to obtain it. But I can see why it's frustrating to those who missed out.

We were treated fairly. If you had an iOS device, you could've downloaded the app. The flames were also available on the website. What's so unfair about it?

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Don't. As many have said before me, you has a month to get them. It was posted all over the website, YouTube and even featured on the app store top 25 download list for a few days.

It is your own fault. Bungie was fair. One of my family members fell very ill on Bungie day so I missed out, yet you don't see me whining about it do you?

  • 08.10.2011 4:00 AM PDT

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

This wan't like the Swag Bag, where you only have a strict limited time to acquire them, you had many weeks.

So long a sBungie made any mention about there being a time limit, it's perfectly fair.

"Even in death, your Sergeant guides us home."

it's just for reach, next year when halo 4 comes out the 343 members will have some cool ass helmet and armor that we can't have then we'll be begging for it just like bungies recon in halo 3.

  • 08.10.2011 4:55 AM PDT

the flaming helmet WILL NOT be coming back becoz it was a celebratory thing of sexy awesomness im afraid u might of missed ur opurtunity unless there is another way im not sure about good luck

No, you had at least three weeks to get it. You missed your chance so it's your fault.

  • 08.10.2011 5:13 AM PDT

hes got a point it was a pretty avertised thing to mayb u should of looked at the web site more but lets put this topic in the bin theres nothing else2say

  • 08.10.2011 5:16 AM PDT

I missed out on it because I plain and simply wasn't playing halo: Reach at the time, but I'm not bothered because I have the legendary flames Which I prefer. Plus more than 50% of the time your not looking at your characters head.

And no I dont think anyone should have another chance , I'm not whining about wanting another chance.

I don't think they should give a second chance to those who didn't get it. Why? because some people not having it makes it feel special, Like how everyone wanted recon in halo 3 and some people eventually got it because they put a lot of effort into it, If i'm honest, I believe that you should have put in more effort to get the effect (even though being an avid halo fan for 10 years is effort enough).
