Just check bungiepedia!Originally used way back in the Bungie Chicago office. When vehicle tires could be heard screeching due to having a near miss with another vehicle, "Blam!" would be said out loud in the hopes that the vehicles would crash. Halo 1 was known as "Project Blam!" for a short period of time during very early development. More recently, Blam! is used for the bungie.net word censorship filter.
One of the earliest uses of this word was in a read me file in the minotaur folder, which detailed an argument between Alex Seropian and "Chucky" (in which both persons argue over who gets to be player number 4), the last line was Blam! (uttered by Jason Jones).You guys make my feel like some sort of ancient historian bearing the truth behind myths and legends.

The word -blam!- was created a long time ago when Bungie was developing a new game title. On a rumor, it was developed when the employees overheard the car wreck in downtown, Chicago, where they would say "Blam" for ever accident it occurred. They used that name for their new project title, which became "Halo".
Judging how they empathizing "blam" from car wreck to cross out profanity words, it really means that someone is in a car accident when they say it.
