Help Haiti by Playing Halo

Help Haiti by Playing Halo

Want an easy and quick way to donate money to Haiti? Well head to Xbox Live and play a few games of Halo.

As one of the poorest nations in the world, Haiti needs all the help it can get following the earthquake that shook the country earlier this week. If you're a little strapped for cash but still want to donate money to the relief efforts for Haiti, then Bungie might just be able to help you out.

By changing your icon to a heart in a circle - as shown on the right - and playing one of the multiplayer modes on ODST [http://www.amazon.com/Halo-3-Xbox-360/dp/B000FRU0NU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1280784365&sr=1-1] on this coming Wednesday or Thursday. For every player that does this, Bungie will donate ten cents to the Red Cross, up to a total of $77,000. More information about the Bungie's event can be found on its blog [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BeAHero], or you can buy one of these shirts [http://www.bungiestore.com/category/38961761361/1/Be-a-Hero.htm], if you want to make a bigger donation.

I think I'm going to organise a few Halo games with my friends.
I don't really play Halo any more, but if it helps out, then I may as well do it.

Wait, is it ODST or halo 3?

'cos I want to do it, but I don't know which game.

It says both in the article.

But this is awesome! This is why Bungie is my favorite studio of all time.

I believe the article said either one will do.

Thanks.

Also, thefacelessone, your favourite studio of all time, really?

Great Stuff, I've been looking for a way to help out. =D

 

[Aura Guardian]

Alrighty then. To help them out.

 

[enzilewulf]

Sweet, good to know I can help, this is really saint like of Bungie

 

[Scumpernickle]

Well this is ironic, kill people to save people.

I've already donated $4, but $4.10 couldn't hurt.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Hey, I'm entitled to my own opinion.

I was mainly wondering your reasons behind this, I mean, I love halo and everything, but in my eyes thy're not the best ever.

 

[StriderShinryu]

Great idea, and I'll log in if I can.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

NOOOOO!! WHY DID I LEAVE MY XBOX IN ITALY LIKE I ALWAYS DO?

But then again I'm a boarder, so I couldn't play anyway.

 

[Irridium]

I'll be there.

If braving the masses of children is going to donate money to those in need, I'll do it.

 

[xavierxenon]

If people REALLY wanted to donate to help they wouldn't need something like this.

 

[dwoo21]

Nice but no xbox , my dad took it away so now I can't help donate money playing video games. That was his plan all along!

It could be because of one of their earlier games, like Marathon.

I just wiki'd it, and that looks oh-so similar to Halo, although I haven't actually played it.
