A recap of Urks answers so far:

If you already have Annual, are you still eligible?


Of course.

And you don't need to remove other screenshots from your File Share unless you need the room.

Yup, has to be your File Share and not your gallery.

And no, you can't win if you were banned and created a new profile. We can still see your history.

what if we still have the saved film of when we got the achievement? Can we take a picture from that film and still be eligible of entering that screenshot?


Nope. Game has to be played tomorrow.

You can play on more than one foursome, but you can only submit one screenshot. You'll earn more chances to win that way, but only for yourself, the other players will have less chances to win on subsequent squads, since only three of their screenshots for that playthrough would count.

If you've been banned, you'd know it. A message pops up in-game and notifies you.

Yes, you have to complete the level.

Please, don't PM me. I'll stop in a couple of times to answer questions here so everyone can see the responses.

What if you do this challenge with someone already with Recon, and that person got the winning screenshot? Does that disqualify all of us, or the other 3 get Recon aswell?


Well it wouldn't make sense to just disqualify you for having a friend with Recon, I would assume you would all still win, but the person with Recon wouldn't get anything, as he already has it, but you guys would get Recon.


This is correct. If you have Recon and choose to participate, you'll only be along for the ride to help your team.

Yes, you have to complete the level.

If you've been banned from matchmaking, you know it, and you can't win.

You can be on as many teams as you like, but since you can only submit one fileshare, you can really only enter once for the team you choose to submit your screenshot with. All other teams you play on won't end up being able to have all four players submit screens (since at least one will have already one so).

What if my profile was hacked and the person who hacked it got banned?

and what if it was an exp banned? dose that count as the banned you are talking about?

and dose that kind of banned keep you from getting recon later down the line?


If your account was stolen, we have records. You aren't disqualified because some jerk stole your gamertag.

If you were EXP banned, you shouldn't participate.

Whether or not your ban will ultimately prevent you from ever receiving Recon hasn't been determined yet, as far as I know. If I were to guess, I'd think it would probably depend on the severity of your ban, but don't quote me.

My eyes are blue.

Chocolate over vanilla, but both are pretty tasty.

Does it have to be tomorrow PST time or can it be my tomorrow since it's starts in 5 hours for me...


PST

Halo 2 and Halo 3 bans both count.

add me or pm me to do it tomrorow as i have alllllllllllllllll day long to find the winning picture :)

There's not a whole lot you really need to know about me, but if you're passing by and you need something to do, check out my Fileshare on Halo 3.

Download the Custom Map, "Madhouse," and the gametype you need to play it with, "PuzzlePro." It's a puzzle map, and although I don't give out hints anymore, I have no doubt that you'll figure it out eventually... :)

My question is, since one of the requirements is everyone getting in the 4 Ghosts together and finishing the level, how will you know if players have done so? What's to keep me and my team from hopping into a Warthog to finish it? Is there a way to know if everyone's finished the level in Ghosts and not something else?

Normally I'm pretty on top of things, but I haven't experimented so much with Campaign, so it's something I'd like to know.

  • 05.16.2009 9:14 PM PDT

yo any one who needs people to do this with add me (x TOW3LIE x).

The achievement won't unlock unless everyone's in a ghost when the first person lands in the ship (pre-emptive apologies to anyone who hasn't finished the game yet), so I'd guess the first thing they'll do is check to see if you've got the achievement. Apart from that, I couldn't hope to guess the mystic ways that stosh and the others work their orbital nuclear-banhammer/cheatfinder array.

And anyone need a member? I might be on around 5pm pst if anyone needs a fourth- just message me at the gamertag: boomypabman.

So what if the saxophone is black?

damn straight i play Jazz.

i have to know... if we took the screenshot sometime ago and our GT changed will the picture (with our old GT still assigned to it) be recognized as our own or do we need to take a new one with our new GT as to prove it was ours?

Hey, I did the achievement last night because I didn't read that we have to do it today. I'm looking for a squad to join, or just someone to team up with me. I've gotten to the monitor in 5 minutes, and I know just about every short cut on the last level. Hit me up, gamertag above.

My Youtube channel

What is with the hype for recon armor? I don't know why I even bothered to ask knowing what the halo community mostly consists of. Let's see if I get the expected answers.

Why not do this just for the fun of it? Besides your chances of winning are pretty hard since only one team of four wins.

No one cares what armor permutations your video game character in Halo 3 is wearing....

Actually you're right.
Your arch enemy, Timmy, from 5th period lunch thinks it's amazing and is very jealous.
