I know this is not the proper place. But since Bungie is giving/losing control of the the Halo server infrastructure. (or already has). Would it be too hard to ask one last favor?

For all us Bungie.net members, can you give us the "Bungie" nameplate and Bungie armor in Halo 3?

I'm NOT asking Achronos to make a switch/UI available on our member pages. But just enable it for all members. As I understand it is probly some database value on the backend server somewhere, that once signed into XBL the armor is validated.

You have already given us the armor effect in Halo Reach (Thank you). Why not do one last hoorah for all us Bungie.net members that have been playing previous Halo games like Halo 3?

I know it sounds greedy and selfish. But since Bungie will soon no longer have control, this is the last chance. Why not tip you hat once again for the Bungie community. I see not harm unless there are technical boundaries that prevent this.

Again thanks for the great games.

They have already given us the Bungie armor, and they have given us the Bungie nameplate.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I thought Eternal (blue) flames was the last favor?

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

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

They can't give everyone Halo 3 exclusive armor.

I'm talkin about Halo 3. No offense but that was my favorite. Since they will not longer have control. Why not ask.

You can still change you Halo Reach and Halo 3 Namplates in your account section for Halo 3.

For about 58 - 57 days. They can't do stuff in-game however.

Really since when?

If I'm wrong about this then by all means I look foolish.

Ken's right, I believe Urk said around Bungie Day last year that they couldn't give out the Bungie armour in Halo 3 permanently as it would require a code change, and they weren't willing to mess with it when they were going to pass it on. That could be slightly off though.

If that's true, then there is nothing Bungie can do. That would be sad. :(

I found Urk's post.

There is also this one where he says that if they did activate Halo 3 flames everyone would be forced to use them forever.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

I wish

Halo 3's flames weren't set up like Halo: Reach's, as part of the Armory. We would have to force them on and players wouldn't be able to switch them off. Ever.


I remember that Bungie EOD armor is still an option in the Player menu. If a player doesn't want to wear it, then they can simply choose another armor choice.

Yes, we don't want you to have flames in Halo 3 and we're lying to cover it up.

Last year was custom code. We deployed it, remained in control of the back end, and later turned it back off. I asked our guys to investigate doing something similar for this year (which they are still doing), but I can't guarantee it will come to fruition, even though I want it to.

Since we will lose access to title support for Halo 3 soon, we need to be careful and considerate with how we impact the people still playing it, and ensure that the new stewards aren't passed a smouldering server in need of immediate repairs.

Responsibility. It's a -blam!-.

This makes sense. If it is not something they can do without massive code change or breaking the game. Then I won't complain.

My thoughts were either 2 things:

1.
All players in Halo 3 have the option, of selecting the Bungie EOD armor in the Player settings menu in the game. Also this would force "Bungie" nameplates on all players.

2.
Only Bungie.net members can have this applied to them. So that other players won't be affected if that is what they are worried about.

They couldn't do it without risks and now they can't do it at all.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I'd rather not, literally every game that Bungie Day had ten times more lag than a normal game.

Really? I played all day that day, and I experienced no lag. Maybe it was your connection.
