Do you think bungie even checks avatars we send in? Becuase its been ages since we got some new ones. I just submited 4 that are really cool. and I've seen some really cool one get submited a couple of months ago but no sign of them.
Im sure other have submited some also. whats going on?

I think that they should just allow us to choose our avatars, like in red vs blue.

the reason they dont is becuase with a community this big youll get stupid people. People that post nasty thing as avatars and bungie has no time to moderate forums and avatars.

Speaking of avatar contests, I wonder if the people who won the previous avatar contest have gotten their prizes yet?

I just submited atleast 20 avatars to bungie. lets see if they use them.

10 were of weapons, so if a user wants to use there favorite weapon as a avatar they can.

How thoughtful, lol. Who knows, maybe Bungie is worried about XBL more than avatars? That'd be my guess. If not, it may just be taking them a long time to get the avatars ready.

Nope. Not me, anyway. :( I think the courier ferrets are all tuckered out or something.

In response to the main thread, I too have submitted two extra avatars from Marathon as there were folks complaining that there weren't enough auld skool avatars. I haven't seen them come up either. Let's hope that we'll see more progress on this now that the major forum update's gone through.

I have a really cool idea for an avatar, but I dunno how to do it or where to send it.
Yep, I would definately take the one in mind, it's meant for real fans.

I do think that HAL0 2 and XBL and optimatch takes up most of the Bungie team's time. But I don't think they compleetly forgot about us. Heck there was a couple of new threads in the voteing booth.

Um, its Christmas?

The web team pushed hard after Halo 2 was finished to get stats up for everyone, and then iterated on the released code as much as possible - fixing the major bugs, like the forum paging.

Site updates happen on a schedule, and new avatars will eventually be scheduled in. But fixing the forums was more important than adding variety to avatars. We're pretty much done with releases other than news stories and any emergency updates that might be necessary for the rest of this year. Avatars, unless Sketch and Frankie get to them soon, will have to wait until January.

Whoops. It seems I was seeing things that weren't there. Oh well, I was posting at 1 in the morning anyway, and was a wee bit tired.

You? Not posting your usual long-winded response? That doesn't happen much. =)

Lots of changes going on in Recon-land.... But Psyched rendered me (nearly) speechless.

I was drinking a soda and it almost came out of my nose. Maybe it was just me as I read it, but the timing and phrasing was spot on.


It wasn't just you, Recon. I found that post pretty funny as well, but fortunately for me I wasn't drinking anything at the time. If I did drink anything while viewing these forums, I would probably spray my computer with all sorts of liquids, which is bad for keyboards.

PS: Well, I guess I pretty much stopped contributing to this thread at least. I just wanted to send back a response so you wouldn't think I was just being a total smart-ass.
