Hey Bungie, it's me, Captain Mjolnir.
I've gone by a few names during my time shooting aliens in your games, but that's not important.
You see, I've been a fan-boy, and now fan-man, of Bungie since I first laid my hands on the Duke and assaulted the control room. At the time, I was working part time in the mall, and had saved up all of my pennies to by a shiny new console. I settled on the Gamecube, since it was from Nintendo and more affordable. After playing a few games of NBA Courtside, I started to hear tales of a game on Microsoft's new console that was "mind-blowing".
A co-worker, who had saved more pennies than myself, had taken the plunge and bought himself a fancy new Xbox. At the time, you had buy the console in a bundle with your choice of two games. His first selection was the creepily-cartooned NFL Fever, and he picked up Halo on whim because he thought it looked cool. Once he started playing it, he could not stop talking about how great it was.
He could jump right into a vehicle, without any load screens, and start driving around. He could shoot flying vehicles out the sky, jump in the downed vessel and start raining death from above. He was kind enough to let me borrow his new console for a weekend to check it out. After 8-10 hours playing co-op with one of my brothers on my grandparents' 50" rear-projection, flat-screen TV, I was completely hooked.
I took back my Gamecube, saved up for a few more weeks and bought myself a Halo machine, or Xbox as it was more widely known.
Since then, I have been to the midnight launch of every one of your games. I have driven 3 hours to the nearest 7-11 to buy Halo 2 Slurpee cups. I have collected action figures, soundtracks, t-shirts, track jackets and anything else I fancied with your logo on it.
I have become legend, completed my moments of triumph, helped Kinderguardians level in time to buy a certain Exotic death-thrower, etc. etc.
I could go on, and on, and on, but I think you get the point by now.
I say all of this, so that I may ask just one thing of you:
Please, please - put a Hunter Cloak in the game that looks like a red Superhero cape. Something that our favorite Kryptonian or Asgardian might wear would be just the heroic touch that my Gunslinger needs.
