Anybody here remember Bungie Day back in 2009, back in the days of [b][i]Halo 3[/i][/b]? As I recall, Bungie hosted a huge online event that day in Halo 3 multiplayer; a special playlist that was only up for the day of July 7th, 2009.
It featured dozens of custom multiplayer maps built on the Forge maps "Foundry" and "Sandbox". Bungie had teams running through this playlist all day; and if you got matched with them, and you beat them, you got the ultimate prize Halo 3; the then-exclusive [b]Recon armor[/b]. You could also receive this valuable prize if you fulfilled certain hidden criteria in the playlist; this is how I got MY Recon armor, after grinding that playlist all day. Still not sure what criteria I met to get it, though...
My idea? Hold a similar event for Destiny, for Bungie Day this year; July 7th, 2015... [i]but exclusively on Xbox One and Xbox 360.[/i]
A Crucible playlist, with [b]level advantages enabled[/b] (like Iron Banner), maybe 6v6 Clash on every map in the game, including vehicle maps (First Light and Bastion) along with any and all DLC maps from The Dark Below and House of Wolves. [i][b]Not DLC required, just in the rotation for those who have them.[/b][/i]
Your mission? Play. If you get matched with a team of Bungie employees, fight. If you win, you get the ultimate prize for a Destiny player on Xbox:

[i][u]Hawkmoon[/u].[/b][/i]

The Exotic hand-cannon exclusive to PlayStation consoles, arguably the best hand-cannon in the game.
As with Bungie Day 2009, you'd also have a chance to earn [b]Hawkmoon[/b] by fulfilling certain hidden criteria in this playlist. For those on Xbox, this would be the only way to get [b]Hawkmoon[/b] until it's PlayStation exclusivity expires in the Fall.
What do you guys think? I had a lot of fun in Bungie Day 2009 in Halo 3 multiplayer, and I got a pretty sweet prize for it. It'd be awesome to have something like this again, in Destiny.

Oh my G, another Xbxfan post " the betrayal of Bungie" ! The easy solution for you : go get your PS and you will also discover the new Final Fantasy 7.
-
Aww another little Xbox snowflake that thinks they are owed something
-
Dont you xboxers want the 4th horseman (now know as 4th [i]HOLYSH*T[/i]) or Monte Carlo.
-
sorry to bump this, but its not possible due to sony's contract with bungie/activition. sorry for bad english
-
I have a feeling xur will sell it the week Xbox gets access to it.
-
Shut yo dumb fanboying ass up
-
Lol at OP thinking Hawkmoon is the best hamdcannon in the game. Best weapon of the exclusive guns, yes. Best handcannon in the game? No.
-
How about a master chief armor set that drops by meeting challenges on bungie day and everyone can get it even playstation

Edited by GxHz Dragon88: 6/26/2015 1:51:36 PMRemember people Bungie makes the game its Activision who decides where the time based items are, or Year Exclusives. Activision did it due to one reason the sells of Playstation 4 was x10 higher or so than the Xbox One just an example. Also what about the hidded 347 scout rifle exotic that was supposed to come with House of Wolves? or the Exotic Scout Rifle for the Trails of Osiris? They just vanish in thin air and only 1 person has that scout rifle from Trials of Osiris due to bungie being well lets give it to him due to his issues, which is nice. I own the Xbox One and sadly i can say this its in the beta stages still, wish they held off on it a little longer why too many bugs. [i][/i] edit, hawkmoon and monte carlo timed based exclusives until the Taken King Comes out.
-
XBONE can suck it
-
You do know that you are getting hawkmoon when ttk drops?
-
Maybe not with level advantage, but getting a Halo themed weapon or armor would be nice.
-
If it was going to be exclusive, it would be on Playstation. Why would Bungie give random exclusive stuff to PS then turn around and give XB one big awesome thing?
-
There were so many great Bungie Days back in Destiny. The Cold Storage remake. The community map playlist. So much fun stuff.
-
It was a fun day for sure! - you forgot about getting the employee (or specially granted by Bungie) flaming head (actually chest that came out back of neck) for all to wear I still have some pics some where taken from theater mode with my son and I in a warthog returning a capped flag and some various poses we did in forge mode. side note: Why don't we have theater mode, forge, etc... in Destiny????
-
Should be better stuff than hawkmoon
-
i like this idea, tho, maybe for PS also? im on xbox but that would make it so there wouldnt be really any complainers saying "bungie i quit!" because of this. maybe xbox gets a hawkmoon and PS gets level 34 armor?
-
Relax young one. You will get those lame ass weapons in September.
-
We're a bigger community now, man, it'd be wrong to leave PS users out in the cold on Bungie Day.
-
The Hawkmoon, along with the other exclusives, are coming to the 360 and X1 in the near future. No point.
-
It can't be hawkmoon. Sony bought the exclusives till said time. It should be something more unique rare exclusive. Recon armor was the biggest thing in halo games. I mean huge people were doing everything to try and get it and if you saw someone with it it was like meeting a celebrity. I miss that feeling when it was so rare on halo 3.
-
I'm on playstation, but I think this would be a great idea!
-
Or just wait until September.
-
Hawkmoon. Now better than Recon armor.
-
Exclusive content isn't exclusive if the time period on which the contract has been breached. Xbox players knew this and still choose to play it without the extras. And if they play when it becomes available it means there is new content without having to buy a dlc.
-
A) this couldn't happen because of sony's [b]contract[/b] B) this would never be an Xbox exclusive event unless Microsoft paid for it C) a multiplat event with the prize being date of all fools would be sick though for bungie day
