Why don't we have a customizable layered avatar system, just like the Emblems for Halo, but specifically built for the forums? This way, we can have more unique avatars, without having to log on to a game to change it, or being limited to layers from a single game universe.

I like the idea, but the web team is restricted; their priority should be new features and enhancements to existing features. I can't wait to see what they have been working on.

I'm looking at you, Webmaster.

I agree, but I'd like to think that this is, in some regard, an enhancement to the existing avatar system: Where making new avatars is an additive affect, adding new layers or colors is a multiplicative affect. Doesn't this, in some way, increase the Webteam's productivity when adding new avatars?

But yes, it isn't priority, as is the case with most feature ideas.

That would be good since we can't change our Halo avatars anymore. If this were implemented it would be good if they had all the Halo avatars in this plus whatever else they come up with.

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

We should have the ability to rotate our avatars: 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° and 360° both clockwise and counterclockwise.

I'd flip the webmaster upside-down. :-)

I actually came up with a couple avatar layer ideas in a write-up version of the OP, my favorite of which would be a gnop top layer, or "particles" back layer. :D

The idea reminds me of this emblem generator which is pretty cool.

  • 07.25.2012 12:20 AM PDT

I love you [b]

Suppose what you see makes you want to talk.......
Hmmmmmmmmm.......
I Like to maintain this idea: A lot more avatars for all!
More Blowing up of stuff casually!!!
And Lots of {BLAM!} Happening!

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Because Bungie doesn't want me to use my original Halo 2 emblem that I used for so long. I made a new gamertag down the line so now I can't ever use it again. :(

The memory and recalling it at need is all one needs.

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

This is definitely a good idea but as someone else said, the Web team has much larger tasks on their hands.

  • 07.25.2012 6:19 AM PDT

What a hipster.

I like -blam!- just as much as the next guy but...

Added gif capabilities :). Much thumbs up.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I can confirm the flaming recon green spartan avatar has multiple layers.

But, many layers may not have multiple layers to customize nor should be.

I certainly wouldn't mind having it customizable Izak.

Personally I would prefer having new features rather than enhancements of the old. It's a good idea, and maybe down the road the webteam could look back and do this, but for the time being their focus should be on ramping up the new IP.

Where's my hoverboard?! I was promised a hoverboard! We have 3 years to create a hoverboard so we can keep up with the Back to the Future universe, and I don't want to disappoint Doc Brown.

OT: New and Revolutionary idea time... Three Layers. Emblem, Detail, Background. I'll be expecting my check in the mail, Bungie.

Meh, i'm fine with the selection of avatars we have. I'm sure they'll be new things when Bungie comes out of the dark.

He's right on top of us! I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using...

The cake is a lie.
The jetpacks were a false promise.
I'm still waiting for flying cars. Where is the future I was promised!

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

I feel like people keep asking these questions and each time the answer is "wait for the update".

  • 07.25.2012 10:16 AM PDT

That's a great idea, but I don't understand why some people seem so dissatisfied with out current emblems. they're fine to me. But don't get me wrong, that's is a wonderful idea. I would love to see it done!
