I told my mom you said "wassup", when she called today to tell me she arrived safely in Disney World. She thought it was funny and told me to tell "those nice young men hello". Nice read today.

At least you're not the guy who's screenshot got picked as a winner, but then got disqualified because he got banhammered a few weeks ago for some social playlist boosting.

Yeah, we checked that. At least he was the only one in the batch that was selected to win, and at least he made someone else happy by giving up his slot.

Aww, didn't win the contest but still had fun.

Hah, sucks for him, but you get what you deserve.
So how many people were selected to win in the end?

I've tried getting answers in various ways, from emailing the webmaster to posting on threads that mods/Bungies are checking, and yet I can still get no answer.

In the grifball community there are a few of us whose stats from the actual GB playlist of April are not updating. The games are showing up, but our stats (medals, kills) are not updating. Every ranked game and social game (even GB matches in Mythic) are updating everyday, but a month later that one weekend in the specific playlist won't. Why? It's only for a select few it seems...it has even updated for the people I played 95% of my games with....

I was hoping for more in this update oh well. The wheel keeps on turnin.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Very nice. Reading up on those takehome playtests was an enjoyable little adventure. It's always nice to be reassured that everyone involved in something like that are still human ;-)

Dang, I didn't win. Oh well, congrats to everyone who did. I probably just didn't get my shots seen, they weren't that outstanding, and I mean that in the way that they blended in to the other billion shots.

Maybe it's just me, but for two months now, the Updates have been awful, save a few. Make it better. I get too bored.

Another long work week down followed by another great Bungie Weekly Update. Congratulations for Halo 3 getting the Xbox Live top spot for the forth week in row. Another great Q & A read about the takehome tests. Congratulations to all of the Mythic Recon winners. Have a good weekend.

  • 05.08.2009 4:41 PM PDT

Didn't do anything wrong and still didn't win. Didn't it have to be on matchmakeing though? I saw loads of screenshots on customs and forge. Did bungie forget to add that in there or was I going beyond the call of duty?

  • 05.08.2009 4:51 PM PDT

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

What happened to the community maps spotlights? There are plenty of maps that kick plenty of ass, and I doubt anyone will decline the chance to have their creation shown on the whats update.

Another thing, when I clicked the live activity for the wee, I noticed that Halo 2 had the top spot for Xbox originals. Nice.

May I say it? No, I don't care what you think. HE JUST GOT OWNED! ) : .... I don't like it when people get owned like that. I know a girl who was on a gameshow, I think it was deal or no deal. Anyways she was sitting in the audience and she won a free Nintendo DS. At the end of the show they made her give it back. I am so F****** angry about that. It makes me less then three Bungie because they stated that he people like him wouldn't win. But the girl won the DS. It makes me realy angry super suprised face.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Yes! An upcoming Screenshot Contest! I didn't answer my screenshot for the last one because I thought you can change it's title over the website, but no...

Anyway, I plan on trying the next one!

Good update, and congrats to all who won.

Also, with each new weekly update, stosh is hand-picking a screenshot to through in there?
Or is my lack of sleep depriving me of my ability to understand this?
lol

  • 05.08.2009 5:36 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

Congrats to the winners, unfortunately I cannot congratulate myself as I were not a winner :(

Well there's always next time.

Enjoy some Fan creativity - literacy style!

Don't worry, it won't be hidden or cryptic. You won't need to decipher any secret codes or fish out any buried information. If you're interested in participating, you'll see a fresh news item pop into our feed with all the details you need. (That rhymed.)

Why is something telling me that there is a secret code/message in the update. I just cant figure it out. Bungie you work in mysterious ways indeed, I'll look forward to your next update.

  • 05.08.2009 5:45 PM PDT

I told my mom that Bungie said wassup.

She told me to go outside. Thanks a lot, Bungie!
