I think it is considered spam that you post your same screenshot over and over.

What do you guys think of my screenshot? =)

Made in Canada with Scottish parts.

Here is my screenshot.

I've also realized that if you look at my screenshot one way and you think "Pfft... that's simple." but if you look at it another way, it's awesome. Or is it just me?

I noticed that my screenshot "GOOD GAME", the rating dropped like a Lead Balloon really fast. My screenshot was on the first page of the list and went from a rating of 66% to 51% and something is not right with that.

I noticed that I am not the only one who this is happening to. This seems to be happening to all the screenshots that get on the first page with the highest rating or with a a good rating.

My screenshot does not suck that bad for it's rating to drop that fast. I think that there is rating manipulation going on. That's just cheap, selfish cruel, foul play cheating!

My question is:

What can and/or will be done about people manipulating ratings of screenshots to lower your picture's rating so their screenshot wins?

What if we made our screenshot on 24th and the list that made it on the link at the bottom only shows to the 25th. did our screenshot still make it and just not being shown if its past the 25th?

  • 05.25.2009 3:45 PM PDT

What if we hit the link of valid entries and it shows only for the 25th wene mine was entered in 24th and was valid? does that mean that my screenshot has no chance or is it somewere else?

Here's a gathered FAQ on the contest which should help some people out;


What is this contest?
Take a picture from a match in Team control

Where can I see the official information?
Here

What is the prize?
Upon winning, you will receive a PM, and will be granted the coveted Recon Armor.

How many people will win?
Bungie has not ever said how many people win each contest.

When will the winners be announced?
The winner(s) will never be announced to the public, but will be notified sometime near the end of the week. (Thursday or Friday)

I was banned this one time, am I illegible?
If you have ever been banned from matchmaking you cannot win. That includes Halo 2 and 3 Matchmaking bans.
If you have just been banned on Bungie.net - you are most likely fine.

How do I enter my picture?
Simply upload it into your flieshare from Halo 3,
then once on Bungie.net tag it with the word "control"

How do I tag a picture?
See this thread for a full tutorial http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=30603158

But my picture is on page 100!! Bungie won't see it!
Bungie uses the Firefox extension program "Cooliris" It organizes the pictures in such a way that it does not matter how many times your image was tagged.

How many pictures can I upload?
One picture that has been tagged with control.

Where can I see all the picture so far entered?
Here (as of 11:04 PST, there are no valid entries.)

What happens if somebody else goes into our fileshare and tags our other images with control?
You will not be disqualified from the contest, but can message Urk here and he will deal with the people who tagged your other pictures appropriately.

  • 05.25.2009 3:59 PM PDT

I took several but only tagged 1. Am I good?
Also, I put the pic in my fileshare, then moved it. Am I good?

  • 05.25.2009 4:15 PM PDT

My friend told me about this and he said I only needed to name it control so I never came here and tagged. Does that make me inelligible even though the name is control?

Yup. They don't care about the name/description(to an extent). What they care about is if it was tagged with the word "Control" in time.

Also, it doesn't matter if you moved your submission to a different Fileshare slot. So long as it's IN your FileShare and tagged, you're eligible.

P.S: Cooliris isn't a firefox-only extension. It's confirmed to work on Internet Explorer as well. I'm not sure for others, because IE/FireFox are the only browsers I use.

I hate all these staged or stupid pictures. Like self portraits with some effect or a stupid death pose, or some guys standing in the hill/next to territory not doing anything. Those pics make up a lot of the pictures entered in the contest.

Anyone agree?

Guys, i need some help. I don't know if this has been asked, but i am changing my name, and the gamertag i took the screenshot with will no longer exist. Will Bungie know that i changed my name? Or am i just screwed

  • 05.25.2009 5:18 PM PDT

jtuck I would suggest you just hold on changing your name while the contest is active. I'm sure you can just hold on for four more days.

This happen to my wife last weekend and yes it will screw you because they will send the message, if you were to win, the name that took the picture and if you change your name it will come back as an invalid account.
