April Fools: Bungie introduces BUNGLE, blows up your mind

by Xav de Matos on Apr 1st 2009 5:35PM

Bungie takes the tournament scene seriously. How seriously? Enough to develop its own gaming league focusing on the niche shooter, Halo 3. How niche is it? It only sold a few million copies and there are a lot of people in the world. How many people? Stop asking so many questions. Google it, we don't know.

Bungie's new venture, the Bungie Ultimate Ninja Gaming League Extreme is poised to set the world on fire. Those brave enough to walk out of their mother's basement and into the fog of war are free to sign up now. A word of warning, though: You may want to practice your skill on any of the BUNGLE-approved maps -- designed by Bungie, creator of BUNGLE (and developer of Halo 3).

So, finish off your lunch burrito, wipe the shm?tz from your face and get ready to re-begin the fight you previously thought had been finished. BUNGLE is here and it's gonna tear you a new one.

hehe....ninjas...that's so Bungie.

The room full of fusion cores made me lol

"BUNGLE is here and it's gonna tear you a new one"

... said Zippy to George.

George Zip said that?

A Cincinnati Bengal-sponsored gaming league?

Who dey? Who dey? Who dey gunna arest next?!?!

The eagle logo at the end is pure awesomeness.

All Spikers, only equipment, Approved maps? Is it the new "No items, Fox only, Final Destination?"

Still... Bungie does make me laugh.

... *goes to make a Spiker-only map.*

Ummmm... nice try?

bOOOOOring

What do eagles have to do with ninjas?

They're fast, they swoop in out of nowhere and you're dead.

and both are awesome

They both stay crunchy in milk.

They kill your ass in ninja gaiden.

FUCKING BIRDS

i love bungie

God I hope they make this the double xp weekend or something

"You arent Ready"
somewhat a WoW ripoff from BC. Illidan's quote "You are not prepared"
But yeah take a guess what B.U.N.G.L.E stands for?

Bungie Ultimate Ninja Gaming League EXTREME?!

@shadowhowl1900,

Do you need to borrow the $$$ to go buy a sense of humor? Because, if you need to, I will totally be happy to loan you the money... I can't imagine how joyless life would be without a sense of humor, I don't wish that fate on anyone.

Waste of time...

So basically.........its MLG?

If you look at the halo 3 gamers online map u will see a Skull. Cool, huh?

That's the superintendent, Zachary.

Ahhh ... Thanks!

I don't play Halo, but that was cool.

Hahaha. I enjoyed that.

same here

how is this any more pro than what they already offer? less weapons? less health? its the playlist called SWAT, and theyve been doing it for years.

April Fools is wasted on you pete

no, ide say it was wasted on you.

the point of april fools is to FOOL people into believing things. you "obviously" didn't fall for this, which either shows you have little sense of humor or you are cynical enough to not believe anything on this day. either way, this article was wasted on YOU.

at least it tricked me for a while, which was their point.

WHOA WHOA why is this in the april fools category??

Because...it's a joke?

i realize that now, but frankly, bungie has done things MUCH more stupid and laughable than this. so frankly, this fit in with the rest of their business model...

fucking love bungie. they have a great sense of humor.

Such a funny trailer. I love Bungie.

OMG I love all the bungie love in here. BEST. BUNGIE JOKE. EVER.

Bungie is my favorite developer. They are freaking awesome.

I don't get it. If by "blows up your mind", you mean "leaves me confused and obnubilated", then sure. I see no ninjas. I have a sense of humor, I just don't see how this is an April Fools, or even a joke at all. It looked like someone created a map and was playing it.........April Fools?

If nothing else, it's funny because of the people who just don't get it?

Granted, if you've never played Halo 3 you're not going to get it, but then the joke isn't directed at you. It's supposedly a new tournament league, that only allows you to play on one map, using bubble shields with nothing but spikers.

Or as was said before.. "No items, Fox only, Final Destination"
