Subject: Organising Avatars

If you have looked at the avatar selection on Bungie.net you probably know that the avatars are displayed in no particular order at all. They are completely mixed in terms of game and style. It can be hard to find one in a specific style you like or find that awesome looking avatar you saw that one time. Wouldn't it be better if there were options to sort avatars? For example, boxes could be checked when searching for them (just examples):

Main Category - Crimson, Old Bungie Games, Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach, General Halo (not from a specific title), Bungie.net

Sub Category - Characters, Screenshots, Scenery, Animated, Artwork, Contest Winners

Sort by - Age, Name (why not properly name avatars?), Popularity, Randomise

Random Examples:
Reach Planet
Halo Reach -> Scenery, Artwork

Carter
Halo Reach -> Screenshots, Characters

Septagon Animated Blue
Bungie.net -> Animated

Hog Launch Chief
General Halo -> Characters

Marathon Rocket Launcher
Old Bungie Games -> Characters, Artwork

There could also be a way to save favourite avatars or even show your 5 most recently used avatars. I know this really isn't any kind of top priority update but as the avatar selection increases (and if the current selection is kept for old time's sake) it may be something quite appreciated by the community.

Thanks for reading. What do you think, Community?

I wouldn't go too crazy, such as the five most recent avatars or save avatar functions. But I like your ideas of organizing the avatar selection. Keep it simple. :D

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

I'll be damned if it doesn't happen. We should have had at least some sort of loose organization method from the start anyway.

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

This should make it into the next website update. It'd be a quick little thing that at least a few people would appreciate. Finding my Hunter Avatar wasn't exactly a super quick change.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

The avatar selection defaults to page 7. OMG.

I definitely agree with this suggestion, though.
