People here are mad because that pic had nothing to do with landscapes. I understand their anger. But it's just a contest for a virtual set of armor.

Most of us only know of the Flower girl, and now that the update is out, if you haven't recieved a PM, you didn't win.

i just wanted to be cool and have a sig like everyone else

Man, I'm pretty dissapointed I didn't win. I wasn't expecting top 3 but I thought mine was worthy of some reconz. I just hope that Autumn's Eve picture doesn't win, because it is not a landscape at all.

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

It's interesting to me how friendly and nice people ar DURING the contest, what with the "good luck everyones" and the "best of luck to everyones," then as soon as the contest is over and winners and losers are announced, we see true colors flown.

I think the flower is just as deserving as any screenshot. No where in the rules was it ever stated that the picture had to be "open fields or trees or mountains" etc. Being s student of landscape architecture I can truely appreciate most of these, aside form those that are obviously not trying (I know I saw one or two that were just a spartan by his lonesome).

In any case I do appreciate the very OFFER of Recon being offered as a prize. I doubt there would have been half as many entries if this were only for the framed print.

Ramen, try to see from their view.

Landscape: noun
1. a section or expanse of rural scenery, usually extensive, that can be seen from a single viewpoint.
2.a picture representing natural inland or coastal scenery.
3.Fine Arts. the category of aesthetic subject matter in which natural scenery is represented.
4.Obsolete. a panoramic view of scenery; vista.

The first definition of landscape is what people go by, and it's because of that that people are surprised that a close up of a detailed flower was chosen.

Now, if the contest was about nature or flora, or then yeah, everyone would love and agree that that screen is a winner.

I suppose. I just feel that if the screen met the requirements, and was chosen, it's as good a candidate as any other. I'm not going to deny that I'm a little disapointed either but still.

I'm not saying they don't have a right to be upset, but it is a contest afterall.

"3.Fine Arts. the category of aesthetic subject matter in which natural scenery is represented."

Seems she operated well within the rules, did something unique that caused her screenshot to stand out, and should be congratulated.

And if anyone ever asks me why we don't point out the winning shots, I'm going to point them right to this thread.

i respectfully have to say that i disagree
there were other screenshots with flowers, i don't think it was unique..
and i don't want to point out my screenshot now, that'd suck

no offense, and that's all i have to say about this

e: and i agree, if winners would be announced, that'd be chaos

Well, I would like to put a signature here, but I can't think of anything interesting and creative...?

Yes we are all frustrated and upset, but the flower shot was landscape. We don't need to bag on her. But hey your right, it's summer and we'll hopefully have more chances. Yes I was disappointed too, but I still have determination for winning.

And thanks to whoever said mine should have won, I disagree, mine didn't stand out .

  • 06.19.2009 6:22 PM PDT

I Love That Traffic Cone <3

Congratulations to the winners =]

I haven't seen any of the pictures but for them to have won, the pictures must have stood above the rest, right ?

Hopefully there'll be more soon, and maybe ill change my ideas a little heh. Pity you cant see how well your own picture did though, i;m still curious about whether mine even sparked an interest or not. Ahh well..

Some day soon.. =]

You made it sound like I meant she didn't deserve the armor. Not true. The only thing I was trying to say was that people will understandably be upset because the first definition is the most common understanding of the word, and the screen didn't match it.

I believe she, and the other winners deserved the recognition.
I believe that telling us who won is a bad idea, for situations like this pop up.

I don't really know why I responded to this. Chances are you won't even see this.

Add me for anythingz.

This is pathetic. You guys can't even congratulate someone? That's the first thing I do when I work for something, find out I lose, then find out who won. I really doubt any one of you congratulated her at all, in any way shape or form. Get over it. I mean I wanted to win too, but I'm not really surprised I didn't. There's 80+ pages of screenshots that aren't all half bad. Although, I'm sure some people would have judged differently, that's not your decision, or mine.

I'm not defending anyone when I say this, but not everyone is like you. Some are sore-losers while others don't care if they lose. Me, either way I'm going to get recon whether it be early or in the month of September. There really is nothing to get mad about. This was possibly the easiest challenge to gain recon. Take a picture of the landscape. Why are people getting mad over a picture that possibly took them about 10 minutes to do.

**Note- there was only 74 pages of screenshots at 12A.M PDT the last day you could have entered. I stayed up and made sure.

Besides, you get it come September 22nd. Relax, and wait it out.

Danget, i was in Disneyland and missed the competition. Oh well i'm starting to give up on these contests anyways, i'm not any good at them. There's just too many good people out there i can't compete with. Of course recon doesn't matter in life....

Let's move on from the contest and just respect Bungie for what they did in the first place, make this whole entire series of Halo. If one great game can't be enough what can be?
