Nice user-skins Knife, 'Reactor' and 'Spartans' are my personal favorites. I would use either of those if provided on the site.

Brilliantly done, Knife. I absolutely love them all, but my personal favorite is Scarab. Nicely done.

Hey, thats great stuff, the Reactor would be awesome. I hope some that is used.

Good bye Bungie. Thanks for the best game alive! Hope your other games are like Halo.

-BLAM!- YEAH!!!!

So, given the most recent Voting Booth Poll's results, and the fact that Bungie won't likely want to have a repeat of "Hold your wee for a Wii", it seems like next week's All Star contest will be for B.net Avatars (Unless 335 more people want surrealist paintings of Stosh).

To prepare for such a possibillity, I recently came up with a sweet idea for a animated Avatar. The problem is, I'm am not much of a computer program person, and I am not much of an artist, so I don't know what type of program would be best to create an animated avatar in, or how you would even go about creating it in the first place.

I suppose you would need a ton of frames for the animation and you would need to loop them all together somehow, but what type of File would it be?

Any suggestions to help out a noob?

It will probably be the challenge in 2 weeks. Urk said, "And since we got such a good turnout, we'll probably stick with the in game stuff for next week as well."

Must have skimmed over that part of the Weekly Update...

Still, all the more time to perfect my skills, but if it's happening in two weeks, there's no rush.

I heard someone say once (paraphrasing here) "Multiflag on Blood Gulch with your friends is what makes Halo, Halo." I GUARANTEE that more people agree with that sentiment than "Getting a 50 in MLG is what makes Halo, Halo." - Oboewan42

Any way you can not stretch it and still have it that size?

Its somewhat of a unsaid rule that if you have to distort an image beyond its natural dimensions as so it causes that image to look ridiculously stretched, you just don't use it. Otherwise it looks like garbage.

The Elite looks a little crowded, I suggest you expand it a bit more.

Is there anyway for me to keep it at 902x260, but fix it so that it doesn't look so stretched?

I wouldn't think so unless you have a mad good image editng program, maybe...

Even if, it would still look bad. Just get the original image and make it proportional to the actual size.
