Halo 3 Screenshot Banhammer
your banhammer. it's so... big.

I love this site and I love the sense of community that has developed here over the last several months. Because of that I have decided to crack down on the comments. If you leave a comment that does not contribute to the screenshot at hand, it will be deleted. If you leave a comment that is derogatory towards the author, it will be deleted. If you leave a comment that is insulting without offering constructive criticism, it will be deleted. You don’t have to like every shot, and it’s ok to say as much in a mature and respectful manner. Feel free to ask how someone got a certain effect, or offer a way you would improve a shot. But this is not Bungie.net and pointless flaming will not be tolerated. Let’s go over a few examples of what sort of comments will be deleted.

Rly? Another Recon pic?!?1!!one!1!!
Wake me up when these get old.

There are only 11 helmet permutations and 24 weapons available in Halo 3. Of course there is going to repetition in the shots when you are given limited things to work with. Quit bitching and deal with it.

I hate this person! I played against him
in matchmaking and he was a total dick.

This website is about celebrating Halo 3 screenshots. Personal opinions about the authors are not relevant in any way, shape or form. Comment away on the screenshots themselves and leave personal issues out of it. You’re only making yourself look like an ass anyways.

Old screenshot is OLD.

Last time I checked, images don’t have expiration dates. A good screenshot can stand the test of time and a date is never something I factor in when debating carrying a shot. Screenshots are not fucking gallons of milk people. It doesn’t start to curdle if I post it so relax already.

How long did that Forge creation take
you to make? You must have no life.

Everybody has a hobby and things they enjoy doing in their free time. Just because they choose to spend it crafting an amazing screenshot does not make them any less of a person than someone that spends that time watching a movie. Or reading a book. Or listening to music. Don’t be a judgmental douchebag.

All I ask is that you be respectful to your fellow Halo 3 fanatics. It’s not about only posting positive things, it’s about voicing your opinion in a constructive way. I will continue to do what I can to foster a positive environment around here. I invite you to be a part of that.

  1. All very valid and good points.
    There will be no objections from me.
    :)

  2. Ok, but I still hate all the goddamn recon pics. I don’t hate them because I don’t like the armor, I hate them because THATS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE THINK IT’S COOL. If you have a sniper rifle section for pics that have sniper rifles, then why not a section for the recon pics?

  3. Kerm… did you read any of the stuff above you… your still b****ing about recon…

  4. I really hate it when people do that.

  5. Wow, you didn’t get a single thing out of what I said.

  6. I don’t hate them because I don’t like the armor, I hate them because THATS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE THINK IT’S COOL.

    That’s totally and completely wrong. When you speak in absolutes, you are guaranteed to be incorrect. Do some people feel that way? I would venture a guess that yes, a certain population of people hold that opinion. Believe it or not though, not everybody has a preoccupation with armor permutations. You apparently do. I do not. So keep the “I hate all the goddamn recon pics” opinion to yourself. You are entering this website with preconceived notions that are not allowing you to appreciate all the shots, which is really a pity because some of them are quite spectacular. Perhaps one day you’ll get past that.

  7. ZOMG AN0th3r f0rg3 imag3! L3333333333333333t!

    Just kidding Angel! I had to!

  8. Once again, you don’t understand what I say. I don’t hate a picture that has recon in it. I hate the pictures that have the SOLE FOCUS OF THE PICTURE being the fact that the spartan in the pic wears recon. Sure, I like pictures that have an awsome aura to them, but I just can’t stand pics that are “oh, look at the pretty recon”, instead of “oh, look at the pretty picture”. If someone wore recon in the pic, I’m fine with that. But if the only purpose of that pic is for you to stare at the recon, then I hate it.

    See there, now I had to explain myself in full detail because you didn’t get my point the first time. I spoke in absolutes to express my opinion more thoroughly, even though I didn’t really think that “everyone” likes it because of one reason or another. It’s like exaggeration.

  9. Perhaps you should have fully explained yourself the first time around instead of trying to be an ass.

    You have said your piece. I have said mine. This discussion as it pertains to you is over. Contribute as you like on the site, but be aware moderating is being enforced now.

  10. Ok but let me say one more thing. People generally don’t “full explain” themselves the first time. I wasn’t prompted to fully explain my thoughts and I thought that people would get the gist of what I was saying. It’s a comment on a website, not a school essay.

  11. CASE CLOSED

  12. i think we get it since you comment angrily on every shot with recon in it, so i’m starting to think that you’re using this tiny issue of unoriginality to just get attention for yourself, anyway bs angel, i’ll touch your banhammer and you can hammer me all night long with it, that’s the way you close a case dusty, make it so people are too disturbed to continue discussing it

  13. bs said it all… case closed!!!!!!!!! *hits fist on table and hurts self* >.<

  14. lol this that thing is huge (that’s what she said!)

    btw honorious WTF?!?!!?!?

  15. She really did say that. Srsly.

  16. i love it when big threads liek this start piling up… people say the most random thingz =P

  17. My other suggestion is that if you don’t have something really constructive to say…don’t. I’m tireed of reading twelve posts of ‘Wow that’s cool’.

  18. hey, from merely creating this bad-ass site i think it is reasonable to say i would go gay for bs angel, there are few people i would do this for: bs angel, denzel washington, and your mother, because she’s really a man

  19. I don’t mind that so much Nid. I think it’s affirming to know people enjoy your shot, even if they don’t have anything to say besides that they liked it.

    And there’s no reason to go gay for me honorious. Unlike your mother, I am really not a man. ;)

  20. wow, those last couple posts were pretty informative on who to gay for. anyways, thanks bs for crackin down on these crap posters.

  28. Wait, bs Angel created the website and is a girl?!

  29. i think angel has a good point,even though you might get a little tired of something,that doesn’t mean you should openyour mouth and make a fool of yourself.To quote a famous man “its better to be thought a fool,then to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.

  30. for some reason my xbox 360 wont let me save a screenshot of really cool photos,which is a bummer because i have some really cool photos, any tips? PLEASE LEAVE ANSWER!

  31. Is it saying your screenshot queue is full? You may have to delete some old ones to make room for the new ones.

  32. I hate the limit of only 50 screenshots, but then again the whole “can’t use Live thing” is probably the fuel for my anger. I hope to start posting pics in the summer.

  33. i feel this is directed at me bs.
