No one wants to see that, we've all heard about it quite enough. Zing!

No one read my previous post because it was the last on the page I'll wager, so here's a second chance:

I'm reduced to begging. Please please please release a picture of one of the praetor elites (the silvery ones with the huge headgear). I'm not sure I have the name of them right, but I think you probably know which ones I'm referring to. I've been looking for a long time now and there are just no pictures anywhere of them. I'm trying to make my own wallpaper and it's pretty critical that I include one of those elites. Thanks in advance!

I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I'm looking for. I think I'm going to have to wait until someone in Bungie drops a decent pic. Thanks again.

When is the new hotness (wallpaper) going to drop? Can anyone with authority at Bungie say?

By the way, this is what I've been working on: Out of the Light

Um...ask and you shall not receive? I'm confused really. Granted there weren't thousands of visitors to the thread, but from what I read "landscapes" wasn't a highly sought after wallpaper. Honestly, I'm disappointed. Don't get me wrong the new ones look fine, they're just not along the lines of what anyone (from what I read) was hoping for. I find myself like a dejected kid on christmas expecting a bike and getting socks. They're nice socks, but you can't go off "sweet jumps" on socks. Maybe this is just the first round? Maybe there's more to come? Maybe along the lines that people suggested? I'm just bummed.

Also, the above link is messed up because there is a space between the "p" and "age" near the end.

Hmmm.

But I would be curious to see some of the more panoramic views that the render farm might be capable of. In game, there was too much pressure to play and stay alive that I never take (or make) time to sightsee..... yet.

The interior shot of High Charity with the Forerunner ship (shaped vaguely like a plasma sword) would be very cool. Delta Halo & New Mombasa vistas with Regret's ship hovering menacingly would also be something worth considering.


I love the more static, artful images. I do prefer to keep my desktop totally icon-free, so go nuts.

How about a view of High Charity from outer space, with the rest of the Covenant fleet and Delta Halo in the background? Or, on a related note, you could possibly do a wallpaper showing the Covenant fleet fighting amongst itself. Another all-out wallpaper idea could also depict the battles the player encounters on the way to retrieving the icon.

I think it would be cool to show one of High Charity and the Covenant fleet, just so we can really feel how much power the Covenant have.

perhaps a wallpaper of High Charity

And all of those were said before Tinman came in and said he got a bunch done.

Just because he didn't do one of the council member you wanted doesn't warrant acting like "he let everyone down." Grow up.

Free things should not be sniffed at. Free things that are also pretty should require nose-pegs.

Aside from the insult at the end of the argument, Shiska, your points are well taken. However, I wasn't speaking only on my behalf and coming out of left field:

Wild firefight with lots of forrunner stuff on it. :P

i'd like to see a wallpaper that depicts the struggle between the brutes and elites. power hungry ambition vs. steadfast piety. energy sword on brute shot. i want to look at my desktop and smell burning fur...

Another all-out wallpaper idea could also depict the battles the player encounters on the way to retrieving the icon.

I would love a wallpaper of the Cortana. The detail put into her figure is just too amazing to ignore, the small translucent(I think that's the right word) symbols of code running along her body, the soft tones of blue making up her "skin". Whoever created her new form is quite talented.

Aside from that, I'd like to see something with the Arbiter. Perhaps his fight with Tartarus, or his search for the Heretic leader. (e.g. the banshee flights)

I wanna see a soffish and definitely an arbiter wallpaper.

Some arbiter pics could be good too.

Abitier in Delta Halo...

i feel something with master chief and an elite are battling. have them close with the master chief holding a plasma sword and the elite holding a smg.

Woah... Dave_Ender, that sounds awesome.

I think it would be cool to have like dead flood bodies at their feet or something, just something to show what they faught/are still fighting.


I would like to see like a Master Chief/Arbiter wallpaper, with them like back to back fighting brutes. Or one with that fight with the Arbiter and Tarterus that never made it into the game that was on the DVD.

I love the MC/Arbiter idea. thats awesome.

I think that the coolest desktop would be a 2-face thing. Half of it as the close up on MC's face, the other half a close up on the Arbiter's face. I would be your slave if you made that.

I want one that has something to do with Grunts.

I want to see grunts poning with plasma pistols. Perhaps make them shooting at brutes. In an earlier post I suggested that you have Tartarus with the view from over his left shoulder with like 10,000 grunts circling him with glowing green plasma pistols.

MC/Arbiter sounds cool to me. I had a desktop once w/ Vader/Luke Skywalker and it rocked. I kept it for a full 3 days which is a long time by my standards.

i would like to see a picture of MC dive bombing an honor guard with a sword. only cause i love sneaking up on them and lunging their faces off . Honor guards look sweet (even when being hacked at by mc)


I wish the gallery would get updated because I could use some pics of the Arbiter. He's my hero.

I don't expect every whim to be fulfilled. I don't expect everything. When requests were asked for, and one idea got utilized for 3 separate papers I was confused. Granted, not all of the ideas can be used - not even half of them. But surely a little variety could be present. That's why I was bummed. I didn't need my idea to be used. I would have loved to see a few of those other ideas presented just as much. I didn't even criticize the work that was done. I said that they were nice in fact.

So...now you see that I wasn't being a petulant child as you painted me. And I feel the insult was unnecessary at best. Thanks for the rebuttal otherwise.

Please make some really really REALLY high res ones... you see I have a 30 inch display at one place, so... it's really hard to find stuff that works well with it, but if not it's all good.
