Thread: Be a Hero - Play Halo!

OK then guys, Bungie is asking us all to be heroes and help the survivors of the Haiti earthquake, here's how...

For every thousand heroes that participate, we will make a $100 donation on behalf of Bungie and our fan community to the Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts, up to a maximum of $77,000. All you have to do is don a special emblem and play a game online and know that you’ve done a small part to help those in need.

Please mark your calendars and help spread the word!

Here are the specifics:

1. Round up all of your friends and hop online with Halo 3 or ODST any time next from 16:01PM GMT Tuesday, 19 Jan, through 15:59PM GMT Thursday 1/21.

2. Edit your appearance settings so your character is wearing the RED HEART emblem.

a. Press START
b. Select “SETTINGS” / “APPEARANCE”
c. Select “EMBLEM”
d. Select “Hearts” ICON, “Circle” BACKGROUND
e. Back out to the APPEARANCES menu and select “COLORS”
f. Set “EMBLEM PRIMARY” to RED (or MAROON / BRICK / ROSE depending on which game you’re playing!)
g. Set “EMBLEM SECONDARY” to WHITE

3. Once your emblem is set, play! This can be a custom game or a matchmaking game, just make sure it’s played online, on Xbox LIVE, or we can’t track it.


If you keep playing more games through midnight on Thursday, KEEP THE HEART EMBLEM ENABLED or you may not get counted.

So in honour of this noble goal it's Halo game night this Tuesday and Wednesday night here at Xbox Friends! Get out your copies of ODST and Halo 3 (Mythic) and let's get ready to rumble! If we can get enough people together then we'll put together some Social Slayers for Achievements.

I have bog standard halo 3, do I have to buy anything extra to play this? If I cant play with you guys I will still pop on and help out of course, its a great idea!

by the sound of it u need the mythic map pack,or ODST.

Just too clarify Bungie have confirmed any copy of Halo 3 be it ODST or not. I'll be up for some of this!!!

Done my bit (it is tonight isnt it)

Its half 9 now and nobody on my friends list is playing Halo.

Where are you all?

I did have a game round my mates house but got home at gone 12 so thought it was a bit too late by then. Sorry S7eve!

Get your ass on MW2/FIFA and we'll "get our game on" (yes I have been watching too much Yu-Gi-Oh)...
