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..

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cocomaan Bungie should not have to google every single name they put into their games because some random people on the internet might get upset. [/quote] Why not? The "random people on the internet" are the same "random people on the internet" who are posting on HBO, SA, b.net and all sorts of other forums about this very subject. Those "random people on the internet" are the source of bungie's success, they're bungie's target market. It took the internet all of 30 seconds to make that connection, if bungie didn't make the same connection, then their team has fallen down at some point. If they did make the connection and chose to do nothing about it, well....
