Very nice update.

Nice update.

Cool update.

  • 05.08.2009 10:11 PM PDT

If it ain't my chair, it ain't my problem. That's what I say.

I cant wait to find out what the new contest will be. the suspense (omg again) is killing me!!!

  • 05.08.2009 10:38 PM PDT

Will is everything.

It's pretty interesting learning what goes on with take-home tests. Kind of puts into perspective how much work goes into the games we play, even when employees go, well...home. And BTW it's really awesome that Halo 3 is still topping the Xbox LIVE activity charts. Well deserved I say. Keep it up people!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Now all we need is a Mecha-Sand Monster so it can fight with the other Sand Monster.

I am impressed by the sand monster screenshot.

2. I think that updates should stop until a month from the release of ODST.
You guys have nothing of interest to me.


No.


Did you not see the "to me" part? The updates of the past few months have been dry and bland.

Wait, were you being serious? Your pictures were in forge so they were disqualified, which after reading is in the things of what not to do.


Can you not read? Here is my post...

Woo-Hoo! Unbanned...okay Bungie, how about this!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doing it Wrong

* You took your screenshot from the Gravity Hammer's lower-level perch on Assembly looking back up the shielded chute. (Not a bad idea, but we saw hundreds of these.)
* You crafted an elaborate message with the Forge, using stone blocks to spell out, "I <3 Bungie." If it's not edible, we're not impressed.
* You staged an explosion while pointing a Sniper Rifle/Battle Rifle/French Horn into the camera. Been there. Done that. Don't want the t-shirt.
* You snapped your screenshot on Snowbound, Foundry, or any other map that isn't part of the Mythic Map Pack. Um, yeah.
* You didn't upload the screenshot into your File Share. You know your File Share is free, right?
* You neglected to tag your screenshot with "Mythic Recon." Or at all. Or you tagged it Mistic Reconz.
* You harassed people, sending unsolicited requests for them to boost your tag count. We have eyes everywhere.
* You had your giant group rate and download your screenshots. We didn't even look at ratings or number of downloads.

For those that won, congratulations. Play nice, go forth, and represent. Don't take it too personally when other players make a million screenshots while teabagging you, whether they win or not. Embrace the experience. Just don't inhale. Armor plating+sweat+crotch=nasty. Maths.

Everyone else, better luck next time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh really? Honestly, I am fine not being one of the winners...if I were to find out which screenshot won the award. Honestly, I posted some pretty epic screenshots that don't have to do with any of the following on that bulleted list. Maybe you guys forgot to put on your spectacles, but if you can find one picture or more greater than the following I am about to show you, please post them. I would really like to see what I got beaten by...

Okay...maybe I lied about that...but are these pictures not good? From the impression I got from Bungie, they suck.

Moon Landing

ODST2

Crouching Tiger <---looks best on my desktop background...

What the hell do you mean, "Your pictures were in forge so they were..."? Sir, perhaps you should get some new spectacles because if you actually did take the time to research, you would see at the bottom left hand corner of each picture I took (click the links I generously gave you earlier), you will see a little thing that says..."Slayer on Sandbox, 05/02/09". That's what it says on all of them. Notice it didn't say "Forge on Sandbox, 05/02/09". Obviously, that means I wasn't in forge when I took the picture.

And where are you getting that information from anyways, that says that if you take a picture in Forge, it is DQ-ed? The only thing that it says even close to relating to forge is..."* You crafted an elaborate message with the Forge, using stone blocks to spell out, "I <3 Bungie." If it's not edible, we're not impressed.". That's it. That's the only thing. Can you see an elaborate message anywhere in any one of those pictures (same pictures) located above? No. You are a very silly child. By the way, you just got pawned!

In the rules of it it said that the screenshots had to be in matchmakingon one of the mythic maps, or any of it's custom variants.

Forge and custom games are not allowed.

It's good to see the old stuff resurface.

=)

I wonder what this weekend's shot at Recon wll be? I'm fascinated, and I really hope I get a shot at it.

  • 05.09.2009 9:32 AM PDT

I wonder if its true you have to get a 50 in this weekend double EXP!

  • 05.09.2009 9:47 AM PDT

Cool update, congrats to the winners whom I do not know.

  • 05.09.2009 9:50 AM PDT

  • 05.09.2009 10:21 AM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Are you an idiot?

The rules were really quite clear, the pictures were only allowed in MatchMaking, whether it was Slayer or not, your character was in Black, which isn't a Matchmade color, as well as it not being able to be a viewed game so it was clearly taken offline.

You sir, have failed at trying to sound logical when you yourself can't open your eyes to read the simple rules laid out by Bungie.

From the weekly update;
Fire up your copy of Halo 3, play some Matchmaking games on any of the three Mythic maps, or any of their custom variants, and snap some photos of the carnage. You can shoot whatever you like: plays showing off your serious skills, your absurd antics, or snaps that simply capture the maps in all their Mythic glory.

I do apologize for saying it was taken in forge as I'm sure that must have hurt you, but now I can say;

Wait, were you being serious? Your pictures were in a custom game, which after reading the weekly update for the contest is not within the rules, so they were disqualified.

You just got pawned by a kid!

Thank you and goodnight.

Nooooooo!
My Xbox broke so I couldn't take screenshots,
Then I called Microsoft and found its a month out of warranty so repair costs £80,
I've sent it off, but no Xbox for three weeks,
I'm gonna' go cry,
*Goes off and cries*
Ok, I'm back after crying,
No Halo for 3 weeks!
*Returns to crying*
I'll sign up for this take and test or whatever its called, I'm not that experienced, but I'm good at spotting things and whatever,
Only a few problems,
1. I live in the UK.
2. I will have died of Xbox withdrawel symptoms before I can even find out if I got the job.

Its a dark day for me...
*Returns to crying about how unfair life is, and how unfair it is that Microsoft products don't last long*
