Is there anything Christmas-y going on around here around Christmas time? It would be nice. The Flood seems to hate Christmas..

I can't recall Bungie doing much for Christmas.

True, but Bungie could upload a "snow like" theme to Bungie.net to represent the winter season. But I doubt they would change the site theme right now.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I heard they were handing out free preorders of their new game... Too bad I don't live anywhere near the studio/ :'(

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

They usually make a pretty cool Christmas card illustration, and they sometimes make the background image a bit more festive.

It's possible we could see a Holiday themed background, that's happened before.

I liked the Avalanche based Winter theme we got one year, something like that again would be cool.

They take time off, so it's usually quiet around these parts.

I think there should be an optional christmas tree.

I may be wrong, but I think they did a nice little Avalanch (halo 3 map) background for the site. It looked very nice and cozy.

There is usually a story on the front page about something they did but there might not be this year because they're dark.

I vote they hand out mini cupcakes each with a picture of a bungie employee on it.

I celebrate Festivas, it's for the rest of us.


And b.net never really does anything for holidays. Just the same old thing. Though a present from Bungie wouldn't be bad.

  • 11.17.2011 10:52 AM PDT

sorry to change the subject, but what we really should be asking is, what is up with the Winter Pentathlon? That to me is what the Bungie does for the Holiday season.

I doubt they'll do anything for Christmas.

They never actually do anything on Christmas, since I suppose everyone's on holiday leave. In previous years when they had an active game out that they owned, they'd support it with something fun either on the site or in-game (for a small example, Valhalla usually had some sort of graphic on the metallic wall), but I can't imagine much of anything this year.

Bungie said they'd be going dark for longer than they ever have before, and certainly for longer than anyone who's entered the community since Halo 1's release will be used to. I don't think we'll see anything from them for a while. But I do figure that if and when we do hear from them, they'll make it big and worthwhile.

So, I'm fine with them not doing anything for the holidays.

Also, for those above saying not everyone celebrates Christmas; true, but it's still a national holiday in many countries, including Bungie's own, so it's not exactly irrelevant.

And 90% of the specials on television during December are Christmas related. You can't please everyone.

Any changes or decals that showed up on maps for certain holidays around the year were based on the local time of your Xbox. I only remember Valhalla and Longshore having decals like that. I'll happily take a new site background for Christmas. The Avalanche theme from a few years back was one of my favorites.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

How about something that has to do with the Holiday Season?
