Back in the day, all of my friends and I would dream about getting Recon armor; receiving it from Bungie was tantamount to being knighted by the Queen of England... So we would enter all the community contests (did a bunch of SLASO missions... fun stuff..) Needless to say, we were elated to hear about Bungie vs. the World 2009. We gathered at my house late at night during the 6th, and then started hitting up the Bungie day hopper as soon as it went live. For 24 hours straight, we played Halo 3 in hopes of running into Bungie employees. Things got pretty crazy! Especially near the last 4 hours, when our brains were fried from way too much gaming and way too little sleep.. We started asking dangerous questions. "Why are we fighting with the other team? Why does Bungie want us to fight?" We ended up trying to make peace with as many enemy players as possible. Success was very rare at first, but it became very common during the final hour, when other people were giving up their hopes of running into Bungie (we were too, to be honest.) It was pretty cool, two opposite teams chilling together at the end of Bungie day. We were all bro's, united by a crushing, disappointing failure... Overall it was an awesome experience. My friends and I ended up getting Recon anyway, and we got to be celebrities for a few months! Those were very fun days..
