Fair dues to Bungie. It's comforting to know they won't be getting any money as opposed to PopCap's offer, which I thought was A LITTLE shameful to be quite frank.

thats very nice but it has nothing to do with SW

Its very nice of bungie

That's pretty nice of them. :) Now watch some cows burst in here and start flaming and saying they're doing it for publicity or something. :x

Source would be great.

That's very good of Bungie and it's to a great cause. Hopefully it'll make a real difference.

its good to see bungie doing this. i hope IW do something like this as well

Its really awesome to see such a nice gesture of them. Good for Bungie. Its a shame we haven't seen the gigantic publishers do something like this though. Activision, EA, Ubi, etc. (at least i havent heard anything. if they have, i apologize for my ignorance.)

LINK. Bungie is doing a lot to help out. ^^ I plan on buying this shirt...

I haven't touched my Halo 3 in like half a year, but I'll hop on for an hour or so to contribute.

For those that don't have a 360, you can buy something from their online store. In addition to the t-shirts, they're donating 100% of their online store profits to the American Red Cross through February. Or you can donate to a charity of your choice. Bungie gives a link at the bottom of their article.

"We are rallying our fan community to show their support by playing Halo 3 or ODST online next Wednesday or Thursday while wearing a special emblem signifying your commitment to the cause. For every thousand heroes that participate, we will make a $100 donation on behalf of Bungie and our fan community to the Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts, up to a maximum of $77,000. All you have to do is don a special emblem and play a game online and know that you've done a small part to help those in need.

Please mark your calendars and help spread the word!

Here are the specifics:

1. Round up all of your friends and hop online with Halo 3 or ODST any time next from 00:01AM PST Wednesday, 1/20, through 23:59PM PST Thursday 1/21.

2. Edit your appearance settings so your character is wearing the RED HEART emblem.

a. Press START
b. Select "SETTINGS" / "APPEARANCE"
c. Select "EMBLEM"
d. Select "Hearts" ICON, "Circle" BACKGROUND
e. Back out to the APPEARANCES menu and select "COLORS"
f. Set "EMBLEM PRIMARY" to RED (or MAROON / BRICK / ROSE depending on which game you're playing!)
g. Set "EMBLEM SECONDARY" to WHITE

3. Once your emblem is set, play! This can be a custom game or a matchmaking game, just make sure it's played online, on Xbox LIVE, or we can't track it.

If you keep playing more games through midnight on Thursday, KEEP THE HEART EMBLEM ENABLED or you may not get counted."

Good! Maybe now the U.S. can stop spending taxpayer money on these people. Let the private sector do it.

On the popcap website they get all the money so they can give all the money away if they want

Even if it isall a publicity stunt, who cares? its going to a good cause

sikanderahmed

It is funny how cynical some are when they hear of others giving. I admit I did not know about what Popcap was doing till this thread but I tip my hat to them also. To the people that as soon as they hear of some giving act all they see is some selfish act behind it. To that I shake my head in disgust. Some are just to eager to hate.rybe1025

i will be contributing a 100$ by playing halo? thats awesome!
