FragDolls, one of the teams which challenged Bungie

The Hump day Challenge is a weekly game which takes place between Bungie Studios workers and large Halo fan sites, active communities, and professional teams. Hump Day Challenges always take place on Wednesday ("Hump Day") and involves

Numerous communities hoped to challenge Bungie Studios, but few are selected. To be selected by Bungie for a Hump day Challenge is a challenge in itself. Bungie Studios does not take skill into account when choosing opponents, rather they pick teams to play based on community activity. Other companies or a group that has some kind of niche are picked most often. The Company does not seek to play the best players, but in gaining mutal publicity from the coverage that a Hump Day Challenge Brings. As such, it usually just playes the administrators or community leaders of its picked websites.

Opponents

Bungie has regularly played various groups during the challenge, and some have had the honor to play the company twice. A list of opponents Bungie has played includes:

  • Clantacular, a multiplayer community which has supported ranked clan match service for Halo 2 and Halo 3. They were defeated 2-1[2].
  • The Fragg Dolls, a professional team of female gamers recruited by Game Company Ubisoft. They were defeated, 2-1[3].
  • Halo3Junk.ws, the largest aggregator of Halo 2 statistics. Bungie played the administrators of the site and defeated them 2-1[4].

  • Praetoria Guards, a "Halo fansite with a rich community". They defeated Bungie 2-1, being the first and only group to defeat Bungie employees at Halo 3[6].
