Happy Bungie day, everyone! photo

Every seventh day of the seventh month is Bungie Day. The Bungie team has a giant hard-on for the number seven, and each year they celebrate this day by giving back to their fans. Throughout the day today, Bungie will be taking people on in Halo 3 in a special Bungie Vs. The World playlist. The playlist is made up of 35 user-created maps in an attempt to give players a chance at actually beating the Bungie folks.

That’s not all! The new Bungie Pro Video service launched today, there’s going to be a special Bungie Day podcast and there’s going to be a chance for you to win some Recon armor.

Bungie also released three new screenshots of the three new maps coming along with Halo 3: ODST. I’m really looking forward to playing on Heretic, the remake of Midship from Halo 2. That map was always so hectic and fun.

Are there any new one-day-only gamer pics? Last years were cool.

It's been a fine Bungie day so far, some of the maps in the Bungie vs. The World playlist are really awesome, but some... not so much. The Sandbox variants where you can fall off are usually annoying, but Regicide, a Foundry variant, is amazing.

Also, Midships remake, can't wait for that.

A few of us would have played against Bungie for the lulz but unfortunately the playlist requries paid DLC. Now there's only 3 playlists that don't require paid DLC.
