Subject: Bungie Winter Pentathlon 2012?

"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams

So today I was eating my turkey sub and lurking on Bnet as I always do, and it finally hit me. It's almost time for a Bungie Winter Pentathlon 2012!

I know Bungie is dark right now and it being the holidays and all, we might expect little to arise on the forums, but surely they have something planned up their sleeves this year for the winter games. If you're out of the loop, here is a brief history of the winter Pentathlon.

Here is the writeup for Winter Pentathlon 2011. So when are we gonna see some light on the 2012 season?

Since that news article was written in January I think we still have to wait a little longer before we get that piece of news.

True, but Bungie usually gives the community some hype before the games go underway.

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

This year's Pentahalon should be good.

The Pentathalon is a Bungie event, not a Halo one. The guys who work at Bungie still want to have fun.

Ah The Bungie Winter Pentathlon. If Bungie decided to stay dark, and the Pentathlon is a no go, maybe with DeeJ around we can begin a new tradition, possibly something Community oriented. IMO that would be great. It would be nice to play games other than Halo in a traditional Community event *remembers the CoD donations*

I would be very sad if they didn't do anything on Bnet for the Penathalon, but I have faith that Urk will come through.

I think it's a team building thing for the company. It'd be odd if they didn't hold one.

Can't wait!

I'm sure they will have a little information about it. I get the feeling it will be less discussed as there is no Weekly Update to fill.

  • 12.11.2011 2:42 PM PDT

Anyone think teh newbies will win again this year?

If Bungie doesn't do one, what if we had one with people here vs employees?

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It should be televised.

Hopefully! I always enjoy them.

Then it could be put on youtube as a highlight reel type video.

This.
The only video of the pentathlon we have (of my knowledge) is in the Halo 2 collectors edition disk.
