"What could be better than a regular waffle"

"A Chickenwaffle, perhaps?"

I know this sounds stupid but are you only allowed to take 1 screenshot for this? This is from what Urk wrote:

1.) One screenshot per player taken from a game of Team Control from the current Double EXP Playlist.

Thank You,
Ian W

P.S.- I don't mean 1 entry, I mean can you only take 1 picture from one game

Before I even say anything, thanks Bungie for giving so many chances to win Recon.

I do have a little suggestion, however. Since we never see the winning screenshots, we really have no idea what you guys are looking for. We have no idea if you guys like over-done effects, or plain screenshots. We don't know if you guys like artistic shots or just regular ones. Maybe instead of so many broad screenshot competitions, we could have a few specific ones? Maybe the best who can capture an assassination, or a headshot, or maybe even a stick before it happens. Get what I mean?

I haven't participated in a screenshot contest before so I have a few questions:

1.Do we have to send the screenshot to anyone or just put it on our fileshare?How will Bungie find everyone's screenshots?
2.Do we have to leave the default description so Bungie knows it was Matchmaking or can we change it?
3.What if your screenshot isn't able to be found?Won't that make things unfair?

They say that if you don't hear the shot when the trigger is pulled, then your dead meat.... well when I pull the trigger, you never hear it.

Check out my Fileshare!

If you need help on screenshots, i don't care. Just send me a message and a link of the screenshot you need help on. But don't take advantage of me!

So what time do they have to be in on Monday, in Eastern Time?

HaloOwns, you seem to have the rules down to their periods, so answer me this.

If I play on a friend's xbox that has been banned like a year ago, this weekend for screenshots, would his ban affect me in any way of earning Recon?

I have never been banned on my xbox or my account, but I have RRoD, so I just need to be sure before I venture to my friend's house.

Yes, you may but you may not get a completely full party and group up for a shot, you have to show Combat, Mortal Defeat on the other team, and Fireing action.

Can I enter the contest with out a Bungie.net account.
My account that I would like recon for is "pkitt" no "BWO pkitt."
Can I take the screenshots with "pkitt" and have the screenshots in "pkitt" fileshare?

Here's a link to the GT I'm talking about.
pkitt for recon.
BWO pkitt not for recon.

I don't get your point their BWO pkitt? If you take a screenshot on that profile, of course u can upload it to your fileshare. You don't need a b.net profile to be entered in the contest, just get it to be taged with "Control", and it will be entered in the contest.

I think I'll stick with this One.
It lacks fancy Effects, but oh well...If I win I win, If I lose...well I'll probably lose either way =/

Hmmmm this could be intresting

I played with 2 people with recon in one day...the screenshots are ok but not that good...My question is-Can i get recon for a picture of recon?

  • 05.23.2009 2:30 PM PDT

I love how this is one screenshot per person. It really brings down the entries and makes people choose carefully on what to enter.

  • 05.23.2009 2:33 PM PDT

If I were to enter it and win would my friend be aloud it instead of me.

If Bungie likes it and puts in in favs, or if it's a contest winner. They won't just give you Recon for taking a picture of it... that'd be pointless.

Erm, can someone clarify this for me?

Accordng to a few friends, "if the screenshot has Recon in it, it is disqualified." Can anyone confirm/disprove this?

If it's true, I'm going to have to re-take my screenshot, which is annoying because I doubt it will happen again.
