Playing Halo for Haiti


Hi everyone, I'm sure you saw what was going on from Wednesday (1/20/2010) to Thursday (1/21/2010). Bungie was being their usually nice self, and said that they would like to help Haiti, which I am sure you heard is in big trouble. After the big earthquake hit (somewhere in the 6-8 range), Bungie said that if you play Halo 3 multiplayer (ODST counts too), you can earn money for Haiti. All you had to do was change the emblem on your armor to have a red heart with a white circle background and play! For every 1,000 players, Bungie donated $100.00 to Haiti. Bungie earned over $100,000! Their maximum was set to be $77,000, but they said "we didn’t quite reach the lofty goal we set for ourselves." I think they did very well personally. If you participated, congrats. It was a great excuse to play Halo! By the way, many just assumed that it was matchmaking that earned money, but anything over Xbox Live (excluding campaign) counted! If any of you would like to friend me on Xbox Live, my gamertag is SocksWoHoles. I probably won't accept you though.
Totally off topic here, but if you don't have one yet, you should get a Bungie.net account. When playing Halo 3, you also get a cool septagon by your name.
