Fun was had and new friends were made...
Bungie Day - a once highly anticipated event among Halo fans - now an all-but forgotten holiday that only a handful of diehard fans still observe. To celebrate, AoU Commando, DK and I made a return to Halo 3 by first having some warm-up matches in Social Slayer. We then jumped into the otherwise dead "7 on the 7th" all DLC FFA playlist and made friends with some well-known members of the Halo 3 Reddit group. While I unfortunately lost my connection after only a few matches, DK and Commando continued on and eventually met with members of the Halo Competitionist collective. They managed to earn some new achievements and get plenty of footage from the matches which will likely soon be added to the AoU Legacy Films YouTube page.
N00bs were slain...
Before I lagged out for the night, we collectively were an unstoppable force, utterly wrecking nearly every group we came into contact with! Seems like we still got it. 😎 We're planning on playing together again soon before Halo 3's drop to MCC on PC next Tuesday on July 14th. I'll do what I can to rally the members of our allies, Mahd Labs and D00t Eternal into joining us for the chaos. |
Last not not least...
Before diving from Social Slayer into the 7 on the 7th playlist, AoU Commando found what is perhaps the greatest screenshot ever taken in Halo history. See for yourself...

In conclusion, this was an amazingly successful Bungie Day! I hope that we can keep this momentum going.
Expect more updates to come in the following weeks. See you next time!
