I find it sad that people will get pissed over a list of websites if their's is not included. That doesn't mean that they are not equally loved or appreciated.

I find it sad that Bungie is too full of themselves to recognize a driving force in the Halo community. Seriously, look up from their -blam!- for a second and you can obviously see that.

We?

Is there a massive collection of jerks out there that have become organized?

Or have the Bungie.net forums been graced by royalty that still use the royal "we"?

Oh wait, you (all of you) know what Frankie "is doing"... that means all of you (or your majesty) is smart too!

I could care less about Recon, can I has ODST?

It's nice that they added the sites complained about in the comments section of the other thread rather than actually looking for the sites they forgot.

I find it sad that you assumed the sites listed got pissed and would be marked negatively by such an action.

On another note, you guys need to understand that Bungie, note: not Frankie alone, cannot acknowledge every single Halo fansite despite the publicity or praise. Judging by the fact that Halo 1 and 2 has captured the attention of millions of gamers worldwide comes to show that there is an extremely large audience that devotes their time enjoying and pursuing the, for lack of a better word, "fun" that halo provides. Thus, a simple mention on a newspost does not determine the stature of a given site. In turn, there is no need to decry if your site was not mentioned. Instead, perhaps work to achieve the attention of Bungie Studios.

It has to do with the fact that HaloPlanet, one of the larger sites was not included. So an over look, even after a second list. Seems very blatent. One former member of the staff wrote a letter that I hope you would all read.

Dear Bungie,

At first I was slightly shocked at Halo Planet's omission from your Valentine's Day feature. It's not that Halo Planet needs recognition however the staff is filled with Halo fans who donate their spare time to a website devoted to your game. Omitting this site sends the message that their work is valued less then that of the others.

The more I thought about it though the more I realized that not only was it the correct decision but the one I prefer. Halo Planet doesn't really add content to the Halo community. The staff doesn't spend time utilizing it's talents to create content for the community. Halo Planet is simply a portal to what the staff feels is interesting. They spend their time posting news, creating graphics directing visitors to entertaining content such as Halo Babies, and other obviously unimportant endeavors.

Halo Planet also doesn't fit in with the other "fan sites" listed. The staff and members enjoy the Halo series but are not infatuated with it. Halo is instead used as a common bond to connect a vast array of characters. Halo Planet allows and even encourages people to expand their discussion outside the realm of gaming. Civilized debates about politics, religion, etc is beneficial to todays youth. If even one person comes to HP wishing to discuss a video game and comes away a more informed individual then HP has filled a role more valuable then your average video game fan site.

So thank you Bungie for not lumping Halo Planet in with those other sites. HP is not superior to the sites listed but it certainly doesn't share much in common with them. If being unique, striving to accomplish something that really matters, means that Halo Planet is excluded or shunned, purposely or accidentaly, then it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Frankie! You have failed twice now to put a totally awsome website on you list! I'm sure you have heard of Halo Planet, right? Have you looked around it at all? For Pete's sake, give them a little recognition!

It's cool that you mentioned us, but you totally didn't have to, hope that the assorted whining of the minority didn't come off the wrong way. To be totally honest, the longer B.net's in the dark about IBO the better.

Ha, you will NEVER find people who make games, movies, tv, who care for thier fans more than bungie. They listen to thier fans and actully comunicate with them. Just because you had a Halo lan party doesn't mean your the voice for all bungie fans dude.

  • 02.16.2006 12:26 AM PST

is that letter from haloplanet's former staff member being sarcastic?

what a b1tch either way.

Gee trying to give this coumnity is like trying to give the public some positive stuff on the Iraq war?

Even if it is for good, they still hate your guts and half want to cut off your head and string you up, and the other half just hates you and wants to watch you get strung up.

This really was a nice gesture with the best of intentions I'm sure. But as soon as I read the first part of it I kind of figured something like this might happen. There's the inevitable comparison game of "THEY got listed and WE didn't??" Sorry if I came across that way in the forum post I linked to. I admit I was a little disappointed, but It's not like I'm going to insult Bungie or demand that they amend the list or anything. You guys still make great games. :)

I'm not exactly angry. I found the list nice, and yep. But I mean, HaloTV is also a great one.
