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] elmicker [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] zManWithaPlan Which is exactly what they did. They said it was purely a coincidence.[/quote] they'd better get used to saying that if they want to persist using "Where are you maddie?" because i can guarantee you that isn't going to go down well with people who aren't bungie fanboys. their localisation and marketing teams should be very, very aware of that fact. That's why i'm amazed they've gone for it.[/quote] Denial is as American as Apple Pie. I love how you assume that this is their new slogan, they had it for a few frames, in a random, minute long, teaser trailer and all of a sudden you're crying up a storm. Besides Bungie is relatively small, 100 some employees, I doubt they have huge teams doing hours of research on every word they plan on using. The truth is the Mccan disappearance wasn't nearly as big in America as it was in the UK, just as you may not have heard of the Natalie Holloway case from Aruba. This isn't going to ruin Bungie, or the halo series, I'm sure it won't even make a dent as this is such a pathetic attempt to draw attention over a few frames. The explanation written was not necessary, and for writing it they've brought more attention to this thread (the gold symbol on the left of the topic) than they needed to. You got an explanation, now what do you want? Bungie is not going to kiss your feet, obey your every command, or issue a press release for your enjoyment (nobody would care about it anyway, I promise.)
