We have a chance at Bungie Favorites - We need your help

I was recently given a form for me to fill out to allow Haloramics to choose the Bungie Favorites. This isn't a guarantee yet, but once we fill out the information below, Bungie will give us a better understanding on if and when it will be our turn.

I didn't feel that I should fill out the form myself, as that wouldn't be fair to the group. This is just the first part of getting accepted to Bungie Favorites. I want you to reply using the form below to answer your questions.

SPOTLIGHT

Introduction to your organization:

Just a couple of paragraphs about your organization, where it came from, why it exists, what’s good about it.

General Group Questions:

What are your favorite maps?

Large maps like Standoff and Valhalla. They have the most variety of colors in them.

Favorite Gametypes?

Usually heavy gametypes, with a variety of different weapons and vehicles.

What would you like to see in Matchmaking that isn’t?

I would like to see the return of Ranked Big Team

After seeing everyone's responses, I will compile a finished form with what everyone agrees on before I send it back to Bungie.

These are just my responses to the questions.

Introduction to your organization:
AmX15, this should be answered by you.

General Group Questions:

When will render to video be ready?

What are your favorite maps?

I find that a balance between small, medium, and large maps is ideal. Although if forced to choose, large maps that cater to flying vehicles (Valhalla, sandbox, sandtrap, etc.)

Favorite Gametypes?

Every type of objective, and team slayer.

What would you like to see in Matchmaking that isn’t?
A CQB playlist where the spawn weapon is the SMG, no long range weapons allowed. Pure point blank carnage.

SPOTLIGHT

Introduction to your organization:

Mostly Big Team Maps. Valhalla and Avalanche are favourites.

Visually my favourite maps are Guardian, Assembly and Orbital.

Favourite Gametypes?

Slayer and CTF. Fiesta (Random weapon spawns) is my favourite game type.

I'll make it fit.

We will decide that once they tell us if we will BE on Bungie Favorites.

Haha, lets focus on getting the community spotlight first.

Oh yeah, AmX15, I am making a Haloramics montage, using only my Haloramics. Is it okay with you for me to do that? I will put in the link to our site and everything.

Yeah!

One requirement I do have with montages though, is that I would like for you to put 'Haloramics.com' at the end. You can do this with your video editor. What I did, was create a 1920 x 1080 image that said Haloramics.com. I did this in photoshop and added it as an image to the end of the video.

That is what I meant.

I just hope that it is good enough. The music I am using is "Trinity" by James Dooley.

Introduction to your organization:

We are a group dedicated to making eye candy visuals from Halo 3 screenshots. This is called Haloramics = Halo 3 screenshots in a panoramic view. This is something you can do to further extend your screenshot creativity in Halo 3. The how to is a panoramic photography technique, its actually a little easier taking pictures for Panoramas in Halo 3 then in real life, due to camera stabilization and position freedom. Simply all you do is leave the camera in a static position and rotate left, right, up and down for each individual shot. Each shot has to be overlaped by the next so that they can later be stitched in Photoshop or a similar photo editing program. after the process of stitching the screenshots, you can then play around with the tools Photoshop provides to make a cool customized composition.

I was first introduced to Haloramics over at Bungie.net news, from two different news updates on the founding father of Haloramics “El Burritoh”, his work resides at tiedtheleader.com. From that news post a member from the Bungie community by the name of AmX14 started this fan group and properly named it Haloramics, now we have grown to a community full of talented and respectable Halotographers.



General Group Questions:

Same as others, when will render to video be ready and will there be a permanent infection playlist in the future? As for my own question, will there be any new color forge filters and abnormal forge objects coming out in future updates?

What are your favorite maps?

Guardian first and foremost, I hated that map when it first came out but it has grown on me to become my most favorite map to play on. I also love Construct but as for Haloramics shots, I would have to say my favorite map is Sandbox, there is many panorama possibilities on that map.

Favorite Gametypes?

Teamdoubles, I have about 1500 games logged under that varient. I love the tactical teamwork you can put into a game with a good teammate. Every once in a while I like the objective gametypes but I just cant get enough of Slayer, it provides that action I desire.

What would you like to see in Matchmaking that isn’t?

Infection, Pirates and last but not least rocket race with a time limit on how long you can be off your ride so no one can screw around and actually play it like it should be played. I would also like to see Grifball high in its own playlist.

Introduction to your organization:
Agree with the other members, should be answered by an administrator.

General Group Questions:
Pretty much same as everyone else and agree with Rickder, about the different map filters, they should be available for all maps not just the new ones.

What are your favorite maps?
My favorite maps are Narrows, Avalanche, Sandbox / Sandtrap and Orbital

Favorite Gametypes?
SWAT, Objective and BTB game types, Slayer is great, but I do like having a good mix of variants to play. The better the mix allows for a better time all around, it doesn’t let you get caught in that feeling that you are playing the same thing repeatedly.

What would you like to see in Matchmaking that isn’t?
Infection, Rocket Race and non-veto matches, just like H2, just play the game. That would be a good hopper.

Lets submit this sucker!
