when he says cheaters and boosters need not apply, does he mean that you cant win if you've ever been banned?

Yep. Plain and simple, if you've been EXP banned, or been caught cheating, you're gonna have to wait for ODST to get your shot at Recon.

If you've been EXP banned, Bungie will make sure you know it. I've never played Doubles recently, so I wouldn't know if you earn EXP in that playlist or not.

NOTE: You need to win games (or be in the top 4 for FFA) to get EXP.

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.



Good post man, and gl everyone. Remeber try to be different and capture the essence of Tema Control

Halo 4 I get a woman. I've been guaranteed.

Urk, what do you mean that you will accept submissions on monday? do you mean you have to take the picture on monday?

I was planning to tell my friends without a Bnet account about this contest and I was wondering if me tagging their pictures would count or not.

Man i am getting really tired of these contests.If people dont realize that this sort of thing is basically like experimenting on guinea pigs.They are all suckers who would participate in such a contest for armor that is going to be available by fall (or winter in case they move there release date).Im a patient gamer, and i would like the set,but i just dont like the fact that people get overly excited for something that right now until fall only a few hundred gamers possess.So if your patient,WAIT FOR IT. If not, well fall for this "social experiment."

I havee mine up now. I think it defines team control pretty well. Teamwork. And to the guy up top that got the one with the bungie employee in it. That is great and everything but what does flaming recon do to capture the essence of team control?

it is rare, it is unique. i never said it wasnt. what im saying is that it most likely wont get you the win.

i would suggest taking other screenshots of the same game that have more action
