Bungie....you better issue an apology/Statement!

Hey guys. Just to let you know that due to some small message in (or thought to be in) your new trailer that apparantly reads "Wheres Maddie?" small but growing numbers of halo fanboys are posting stuff on websites related to the disapperance of a kid in the UK named Madaline McCann. Now i dont know how well you know the UK press....but they can be, say...reactionary at best. Especially about Maddie. All it would take is a few more posts and you can be sure you'll end up in a few of the red tops....and i assure you it wont be favourable to the Bungie cause. They love a good anti-gaming story. You may want to issue a statement to people telling them to calm down before the press get hold of it. About 24 hours i reckon. Just thought i'd warn you :) P.s Ask Frankie if you want to know more about the British press...i'm sure he's got some horror stories..

  • Keep an eye out everyone. A black man named Johnson might go missing, and Lukems would be an accessory to murder.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] I enjoy pie Are you an idiot? Or just not from the UK? Its not the fact that the name "Maddie" was used it the context of it. "Maddie, where are you?" I could bet alot of money that nearly every British person who read that in the trailer immeidatly had the Maddie case spring to mind. Me being one of them.[/quote] Look, if the British citizenry can't tell the difference between a video game character and a missing person case, that's they own fault. Bungie is not responsible for other folk having their heads up their arses.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tartan 118 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MoiFUgly Bungie has Maddie. They got their Flaming Ninja's to kidnap her, but she escaped and now they can use her nickname, in a game teaser, asking her to come back. The SuperIntendent can hypnotise her, if she sees a picture of him/it.[/quote] Wrong. She's being kept in a giant server and is guest of honour at a party hosted by the Disembodied Soul. Her and Soffish make quite a couple, y'know.[/quote]...also thats where they keep their...Data Keys to something...whenever they enter Matchmaking it's disaster for all the other players. anyone guess how MM is ruined?

  • Fortunately i come from Liverpool, so that means the Sun sells very little in the Liverpool area because of the Hillsborough tragedy. Anyone who buys the Sun in liverpool and walks around with it is looking for a death warrant. Not by me, but it's like walking into a black neighbourhood with the n word on a massive poster. you just dont do it.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DominateChu This is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. The fact that people are actually making a connection between this game and the sad disappearance of a girl that coincidentally happens to have the same name is incredible. For once, just once, use a little bit of logic. Sure, for those of you who live in the UK the fact that the names are the same might have gotten your attention, but use your head to realize that there is nothing in common between Bungie and the disappearance. The fact that people get offended so easily these days just amazes me. Suddenly, the use of a common name is off limits in a video game? Come on. I can understand your concern if Bungie had put "Maddie McCann, where are you?" That would be weird and inappropriate. But they didn't. So get over it.[/quote]Are you an idiot? Or just not from the UK? Its not the fact that the name "Maddie" was used it the context of it. "Maddie, where are you?" I could bet alot of money that nearly every British person who read that in the trailer immeidatly had the Maddie case spring to mind. Me being one of them. Yes it is very bad luck and the two things connect in no way but do you think the the British tabloids care? Do you know how much money they made over the past year from the "Maddie" case? It was on the front page nearly everyday and one hell of alot of people bought and read it. People were interested and the tabloids could take this bit of information from thr trailer and twist it around to how they please and make millions off it. And then people say "kids get kidnapped everyday blah blah" yes they do but i garantee not one kidnapping was taking this seriously and made this huge for years. Millions were spent on the Maddie case and a years worth of time and effort. Some people will take this sort of thing to serious offence but thats just how life it and theres nothing we can do about it. [Edited on 09.25.2008 12:33 PM PDT]

Apart from that your right. The real question is: Who is the Maddie in the trailer? Why is SI looking for her?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hopy91 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] UNUSUAL WEASEL The sun always refer to her as Maddie[/quote] The Sun is the paper for scum.[/quote] True but it has the highest circulation of any newspaper written in the english language (not just england) in the world. And is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is easyly one of the most powerful people in the world as he basicly owns the worlds media. And if any paper was to print it it would be the sun. I doubt they will tho. Edit: the guy above has a point about the daily express lol. Both are as bad as each other. [Edited on 09.25.2008 12:25 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MoiFUgly Why is everyone -blam!-ing? Her name is Madeline! not Maddie Maddie is a person's Nickname. The missing girl is called Madeline McCann, not Maddie. Her parents would call her that, because Family & Friends can be Informal. But a school, or business would call her Madeline. If the UK news press, prints this, they are the saddest bastards ever. If required would Bungie take action, if they got a lawsuit for the most stupidest reason? If a lawsuit was to happen then the Mythic would be pulled back...right?[/quote] Well said. But nicknames off of names like this or even mine (Jonathan - Jon) But no matter what people say people are still going to atempt to starting something stupid over it.
