How do you submit a video to be reviewed for bungie favorites? And please don't tell me this is the wrong forum to ask this question; obviously I can't start text-only threads in the community FILES forum.

Anyways, how do you submit a video for review? I have one in my fileshare that I know is a Bungie Favorite, but posting it to the forum did nothing... it got no replies virtually no downloads from regular users.. it just got lost in a sea of mediocrity. So who do I email or submit my video to or whatever?

Thanks.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Um, I think you posted it in the wrong forum, on account of it being moved. :-P

And, I'm not sure there is a way, other than what you did. If it got "lost in a sea of mediocrity," what makes you so sure your file was some floating artifact and not just more common seawater? Bumping is against the rules, but from what I've seen, enforcement is not absolute or perfect.

Yes, I know bumping is against the rules; however I only bumped it once, but it doesn't matter.

I know it's more than just "common seawater" because it is! lol... My friends say that haven't ever seen anything like it... especially in a RANKED game. So it wasn't staged at all. That just makes it even more awesome.

I guess I can't link to the video here for some reason, but if you're interested it's called "Skyjack" in my fileshare. If you watch it, at least tell me what you think about it. If it's something people have seen before (given the conditions of a ranked, non-staged game), then no big deal. I just know I've never done, or seen it done, within that context before.

It's queued; I'll check it out later today when I'm not at work.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

You have to face that there will be hundreds of spectacular videos, screenshots, and maps made, but not all will be selected as Bungie Favorites. In large part, it's like a lottery. All you can do is take your picture or video, post it to the forum, and hope to get lucky. Feel free to spread the word around to friends or acquaintances, as word-of-mouth might really help to make the video more popular (like the "suicide machine" video).

But I'm relatively sure that posting a thread in the forums that says "I know that this video will be a Bungie Favorite if they watch it" is generally a bad idea. If Bungie were to select your video or screenshot after you make one of these posts, then the forums would immediately be flooded with similar threads (even more than they already are now).

It's better to just try to have fun and realize that getting chosen for Bungie Favorites is like winning the lotto -- you buy a ticket and hope for the best, which is fine, because it's cheap to enter.

Sounds good man. Sorry about calling you a -blam- but I was getting fed up with so many people completely mis-interpreting that other thread. It's all water under the bridge though.

Anyways, I didn't know if there was an *official* way to submit for bungie favorites, but now I know what's up.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Looks to me like your file's thread got locked; I have no "reply" link there.

Badass clip, though! Why did you jump out...your usual tactic when no-shields in the Banshee?

You don't. They're "Bungie Favorites", therefore, they are things that we've discovered and fancy. There isn't some secret submission process. You can't submit your file. You just get to be surprised if we pick your item.

Quick, someone catch me off guard while I'm prepared for it!

Ok, I'm a little surprised. I was meaning more of a surprise in the direction of the aloHay eeThray ilesFay orumFay.

>_> *cough*

No, actually, that forum is a joke. It's full of them. "Hey guys, I took a picture of my Spartan's crotch. Isn't that absolute LOL?"

I'll be on my own side.

For this reason, I'm glad Bungie doesn't have a way to stream videos from the site. Think of all the bandwidth wasted, and all the people spamming links of their dumbass videos all over the place.
