Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

The thing is that within the first 30 minutes tons of people would upload pictures of their ass as their avatar.

Bad idea.

I moved this to The Septagon because I wasn't sure how the gamercards work and thought, "Well, if it's xbox.com making sure there isn't anything bad, then I don't see why it couldn't be on bungie.net." Meh, at least it's in the correct forum now.

Isn't the picture on the gamercards custom? Isn't he asking if he can use the picture from the gamercard here on Bungie.net? Wouldn't that be a custom avatar?

Like I said, not knowing how one gets a picture on their gamercard, I don't know who would be responsible for it's "cleanliness".

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

I don't have a 360 myself but what i gather from Major Nelsons blogcast is that you basically have 2 Gamer pictures a public one and a private one.... The public one is chosen from a list of approved pictures because everyone can see it... The private one is one you can upload yourself and only people on your friends list can see... So, you could have your public one as your avatar...

Like i say i'm not totally sure if this is something that has already been implemented or if it's something they're thinking about doing... but i think it would be a good idea to be able to use the public gamer picture... might even stop people complaining about custom avatars...

As of yet, the gamer pictures aren't custom.When the Xbox camera comes out, then they have the option to have their gamer picture custom, but only people on their friendslist will be able to see those pictures.

Which is all fine and dandy to limiting the exposure of certain pictures on 360 XBL, however the OP was asking about Bnet avatars... I don't see how that could ever work. There would be too much of a margin for jerks and maroons.

Making avatars as our gamertag pics would be cool, but I think that might out of Bungie's league...at least for now. Well, with the new vision camera coming out, you could just go to your moniter, take a picture of your avatar, and then use it.......LOL.

Oh snap it'd be hawt if we could. I'd rule!

But I believe it is up to Xbox Live as to what content they use as avatars. Maybe companies have to submit them to be uploaded or something... it's probably way over our dreamy and wishful heads.

the gamercard pic is chosen from a set list of about 12, or you can pay and download new ones. so, i doubt very much theres a goatse gamerpic up for download on the marketplace just yet.

The camera problem : people who arent on your friendslists cannot see pictures you've taken with the camera, and these pictures dont replace the gamerpic the OP is talking about.

i think its a good idea, and would like to see it implemented.
