That should have won it, imo. Idk what kind of artists you have over there, Bungie, but they obviously don't know jack if they picked that as the winner.


While I agree that I felt that was the best, I don't think it's fit auntie dot's personailty, or lack of one at that.

If you can read this, you are looking at my signature

I lost, but I have created a decent picture I can take credit for anyway, so the time spent making it wasn't all wasted...

congrats to the winner and to those who got their works showed in the public.

Love the fact that even though I put in my submission for the forgetacular contest on time and properly it still never got downloaded for judgement :(

We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

Good, glad to see your following up on your promise to make the community more involved with forge.

Though, will it be easier to get our maps noticed if we AREN'T involved in the forge community?

More of these contests, perhaps? I know quite a bit of maps that are amazing, yet have only 1 or 2 likes, and 0 downloads :(


Lets make it more international next time too.

We don't pull the files down from the website. We access them from the server so we can copy/paste maps to the correct boxes without a ton of leg work.

HACK THE PLANET!

Those were some awesome pieces of artwork.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Mmmmmm, Olivia Wilde... I don't care what the next game is about, but you guys should enlist the help of this comely lass.

Although I'm disappointed that my map didn't win, I'm not surprised. My map wasn't that good, but it was decent. It's insane that Abridged won in the BTB category though, because I helped playtest that map several times when Schmittler was working on it. Good job everyone! Can't wait to see all the awesome maps that made it into matchmaking.
EDIT: How come you guys didn't announce all of the runner-up maps that you're gonna put into matchmaking?

so urk, in the next contests...will there only be ONE winner of the star as well?
i think it would only be faire to have at least one winner for each category :)

1st Bungie All Stars Winner


Posted by: Halo biggest fan
Great update this week urk, I love the maps that won the forge contest. But to be honest I'm a little disappointed with the Auntie Dot winner. Why did you guy's make her an old lady? Yes I understand that she was old technology, but she doesn't fit the voice.


I just pictured her as an old technology, that watched over everything. Also, when i thought of aunt, i thought of an old lady in a chair knitting... i had her knitting a blanket made out of 1s and 0s originally, but i removed it becuz i thought it ruined the simplicity of the piece.

hopefully that makes sense.

You should have strapped a beard on her, Like Me

Still, Awesome picture!

Congratulations on everyone who got their work up! They were all really awesome! Ha. I really like the one they used as the picture for the update. It's quite awesome, and hilarious. :)

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Were the judges drunk?! No way Auntie Dot looks like that, I preferred the other, more serious ones. Though the little comic made me LMAO. And NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't even bother trying to copy ODST's FF, it is impossible without H3 Brutes and a few Drones. Keep Arcade! Its the best co-op Playlist yet!

And why aren't you making Grifball an official Playlist?! Enough of this Grab Bag crap, we want official Playlists!

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

Can we get a list of the runner ups that made the matchmaking grade?

Bungie we dont care about some pictures. We care about gameplay. Fix your game


Reach is broken. Accept it and fix it.

When I first saw the picture on the main page with the spartan on the moa, I remembered back to when one time bungie said they were going to try to have you ride moas but something messed up. I thought they were going to say something about actually doing that this update.

  • 01.14.2011 4:25 PM PDT

How am I ever supposed to create something better than that picture?

It's impossible!

Well. I guess I'll try again. And the winner was just how I envisioned auntie dot. Kudos to the artist of the pic. And all the other ones were great.

I totally agree.

If this was from an artistic standpoint, that picture would be my winner. But from a Who is Auntie Dot? standpoint, the winning picture was pretty close.

Can't wait for grifball, glad to see that they know how awesome Arcade is!

The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.
"Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild"

I'm glad my item got featured on the update, thank you Bungie!
There where some really great submissions; I think the winner deserved the star. But there could have been atleast 2 or 3 more winners, some really cool stuff out there.

Though it's nice that the stars will stay rare :)

This is my favorite update ever. Ha. I love seeing the ostrich/halo concept every time I visit the homepage. It makes me laugh. In a good way of course. Good work, Bungie, once again. :)
