Bungie while adored by it's fans as one of the most fan friendly game developers in the world, they violently protect their property and image. Bungie isn't some benevolent sloth. No, it's a wolf... with teeth.

Below are some of it's more controversial episodes.

You have Scans? THEN DIE!
In Oct of 2006 subscribers to the Sweedish magazine LEVEL got an unexpected gift when they became some of the first people in the world to see screen shots of the new Halo 3 multiplayer game.

Soon scans of the magazine started appearing on the internet and were quickly cropped, translated and used as canon around the world:

Scans? You don't want no stinkin' scans!

 * It has become apparent that the promised gaming magazines are now hitting the stands (or are at least being mailed to subscribers in some areas). They do contain much awaited and long-promised Halo 3 content.
 * A word of advice and another word of warning.


 * These magazines are copyrighted material and are available to their subscribers and people who purchase the magazine. Scanning images, posting those images, scanning or posting transcriptions of the articles is a violation of the magazine's copyright and ownership of the material.


 * Anyone posting scans or text from these magazines will be permanently blacklisted from this site. No other warnings, no appeals, nothing.


 * Members asking (or begging, or encouraging) scans to be posted, IM'ed or PM'ed will likewise be blacklisted for at least a week. If we are advised to increase that penalty, we gladly will.


 * Bungie.Net cannot and will not be a part of people intentionally violating copyright and ownership laws. Anyone who uses this site for that purpose is not a friend nor a fan of Bungie or this community.


 * Thanks for your time.


 * Slight Edit; Please bear in mind... having any links to released photos/scans in your signature will warrant a permanent blacklisting as well.
