Sixth Row, Fourth Column, that's my Avatar! I'm happy!

The rocket Launcher one won a star! Ugh. I could have done something like that in 20 mins not the 12 hrs+ I put into mine. Now I'm even more depressed. I shouldn't have put so much work into this... I really do appreciate the feature, I just put in every last effort I had this week, so I am really disappointed.

I hope the guy that made the one with the warthog going off the cliff won a star. His is great. If not, what the hey!

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Evade and Motion Tracker in Arena? Win.

Should be 2 frag starts though.

Love the new changes to "the" arena, cant wait to try it out. So I guess they're not really gonna be talking about the defiant map pack then?

Original B.net account is Niko Jims.

Some of those avatars were really good. A majority of them sucked intense -blam!-.

Haha, honestly, I only took like 30 minutes on making it.

It was originally for my custom avatar with my Theme Master title I'm getting next website update, but I thought I would just submit it for -blam!-s and giggles. I didn't think I would get a star from it!

New Arena is already a failure. Motion tracker on? AR secondary? Jetpack stays? Evade? What the -blam!- are you guys thinking?


They said that they want to go for a more ranked Team Slayer feel. If you want to play without motion tracker, go play MLG. Although I do agree on the Jetpack and Evade being a bad idea.

Awesome avatars.

I know exactly how you feel. I spent DAYS working on the card for Week 4 and did not even get featured.

Sometimes, things just aren't fair.

It's Hazard Time

The Arena = Everything Arena ever should have been.
Great thing that Bungies does update and fix stuff, a bit sad that it should have been during research and development imo, not months later.
Anyhow, a step in the right direction and cudos to all that (still) works on Reach, you guys deserve all the love unlike the rest of the team ;P

they displayed 72 avatars, which is alot if you think about it, wonder how many submissions they actually received?

  • 02.18.2011 8:20 PM PDT

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

"Your skill will be judged by whether your team wins or loses."

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Nice update. :)

Nice update this week, Urk. There are a few of those avatars that I definitely liked.

  • 02.18.2011 9:12 PM PDT

Kind of a lame update..but oh well.

  • 02.18.2011 9:30 PM PDT

3 month long seasons for ''The Arena''?! Arena itself is already a disaster. Can't say I'm looking forward to it. Should have stuck to what you guys were good at..

  • 02.18.2011 9:55 PM PDT

Dead Mans Hand-Always Loaded.

I WAS SOCK

Awesome submissions ^_^

Ca't wait for more hints on the new IP, or possibly an ARG? *hint hint* ;P

I'm sorry, but did my name get missed? I feel like I made the most epic avatar ever and then someone puts armor lock in a heart and wins. I just don't get it :(

You picked this over this. I'm sorry, no offense to other contestants, but I think the winner is clear there. Its all very unfair. I know I'm coming off as a bit of a jerk, but when I've devoted so much time to something I think I deserve a fair judgement.

This may not be the reason but its an issue, yours has way too many frames. I thought doing more then 50 frames was too much. On a slow internet connection even 90x90 animations would take a while to load 180 frames.

I thought yours would have definitely gotten a star, but that's the reason I can come up with. There is no way you could have spelt your gamertag and your Bungie.net Profile name wrong. They received yours, and its in the weekly update, that's a big deal.

Or it may have been the fact yours looks like sprites. I googled "Halo Sprites" and the first image that shows up has a hog that looks exactly like the hog you used.

SUGGESTION:
I think anyone that gets their avatar used in the forum should receive the Theme Master rank. That way even if the image didn't get a star there is some reward for ones Bungie can use.

That update gave me a significant urge to play reach, and that makes me so happy.
