Play Halo to help Haiti

odst_small

Following our appeal to help following the disaster in Haiti, Bungie has come up with a way to help while partaking in your pastime.

All you need to do is play Halo 3 or ODST on Xbox Live on Wednesday or Thursday, with the ‘heart icon’. Bungie has listed the exact instructions as follows…

1. Round up all of your friends and hop online with Halo 3 or ODST any time next from 00:01AM PST Wednesday, 1/20, through 23:59PM PST Thursday 1/21.

2. Edit your appearance settings so your character is wearing the RED HEART emblem.

a. Press START
b. Select “SETTINGS” / “APPEARANCE”
c. Select “EMBLEM”
d. Select “Hearts” ICON, “Circle” BACKGROUND
e. Back out to the APPEARANCES menu and select “COLORS”
f. Set “EMBLEM PRIMARY” to RED (or MAROON / BRICK / ROSE depending on which game you’re playing!)
g. Set “EMBLEM SECONDARY” to WHITE

3. Once your emblem is set, play! This can be a custom game or a matchmaking game, just make sure it’s played online, on Xbox LIVE, or we can’t track it.

So there you go. For every thousand players that do this, Bungie will make a $100 donation, up to a maximum of $77,000. It’s an easy way to do your part… so do your part!
