> I can imagine. I used to do that, but I stopped because it’s harder to get feedback. As in the downloads and likes would be low on all instead of just having one with a high amount.
Good point.
I usually just can’t make up my mind when I get a few similar ones. I just put them all up and the one that gets the most attention I leave in my fileshare for a while. I had three that were pretty much identical except for the position of the Spartan and one of them got 12 likes and 1.2k downloads (THIS ONE) and the only difference was he was looking down, while one of the others got next to nothing (like this one), which if I had to choose, I’d go with the second one. The third made it in the spotlight, but has no likes and 7 downloads and is my least favorite of the bunch (here). So at least in this instance putting them all up was useful.
But I know the download counts can be a bit buggy, I had one go from 900+ down to 200ish for no reason, so it’s hard to go by.
But outside of theme matters, I have been contemplating on making a series of screenshots based on the Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues, most likely will have one each week or two; a series in a sense. But here was an attempt at pride that fit a quote from a book, appropriately labeling it -Inferno-
That one was initially pride, you can tell by the DB red and the armor of choice, but the rest will be on point. :3
I attempted to make one using the white/purple light from a thruster pack. If I could get an opinion or two on that it would be great! It’s title is “Faded”.

It does, indeed. Just the fact that the rocks don’t complement it.
I am finding, at least for my shots, that the Community File Browser is not in sync with my personal file share. I added one screenshot Sunday AM that does not show up on the community file browser and the likes are different counts as well on several others. It does not look to me like the community server has synced since sometime Saturday evening. (EST)

I think Iced is most likely my fav out of your group, not just plain Colorblind, but you worked with it to make it colorful and still stay on topic. Lovely. Yeti and Sixth sense though, are a bit… The same.
PS - love your “Have a Nice Day” shot. :
Though you seemed to have a nICE day. :3
OH MY GOD, Z6, I SWEAR I NEVER SAW YOUR SHOTS BEFORE I DID MINE. O.O
Uh… anyway… you’ll see what I mean here in a moment… um, hey guys, what’s up? Time for a white out here on Waypoint, I see. Well, here are my shots (I may do a few more today, not sure).
As I was saying… Z6 has a Spartan with a Sniper standing in the steam vents on Longbow.
So do I. T-T Misted Man of the Mist
Yeah… those were my ones I took seriously. This next one s more of one of my humorous shots.
When on the battlefield, Spartans should always carry grenades, weapons, shielding… the works.
iPhones are not permitted: Checking Clash of Clans…
In my opinion, the reload animation in this frame looks as if my Spartan is checking a phone or something. I dunno, it’s what I thought of, so I captured it.
This last shot is a death animation underwater, hence the weirdly rendered background. It doesn’t really fit the ‘White’ theme, but I liked the pose. So Close

Hey thanks for the feedback, it was very helpful! One question though, when you said something about using effects did you mean like naturally creating them in the game, or is there some sort of screenshot editor on Waypoint? I’m just curious on what you meant.
Edit: Never mind, I finally figured out what you meant. I’m such an idiot…

Go into forge and use some Special FX, lights, etc. It’s one of the best methods of making a shot look exponentially better.
Good morning all! I’m back once again to show my wares for this week’s White theme (fashionably late as always with the Bulletin being published in 24 hours…).
I ended up experimenting in 2 different ways to try and get some white Screenshots, the first being the use of the Skyline map from the Majestic DLC, as the place is covered in white/cream coloured walls, which when combined with my Juicy/Colorblind FX combination, adds a nice smooth tone to go with the white Spartan.
Next, I thought I’d join everyone in the Longbow Screenshot party apparently, but instead of using the steam vent,m I switched up armours form earlier and slapped on the Speed Boost effect once more, to add a cooler and icy look to the pieces, experimenting with Reload poses, vehicles and using the wintry landscape to help out. So form that I put together:* - Frosty Aviator - *[/li]- Snowgoose** - *- Chilled Reload[/list] - *And that’s it from me for this week! Hopefully they’re of some merit for you all and I wish everyone good luck as always for the current and upcoming theme!** - *17 out.**
Hump Day! 2 more days until a 3 day weekend, and we will be hearing news about MCC from PAX!
@Spark918 "<mark>Though you seemed to have a nICE day.</mark> " ….I was just Chill’n ;p Thanks!
@ComicBeast1212 - No Worries!, the next time we are “mind melding” we should hook up and get some shots together, we would just be helping “Save the Planet” 1 less pixel at a time. (Great shots BTW, I think the White / lt Blue was a better contrast for the map and vents - well done!)
@Receptor17 - Nice of you to drop by. My favorite over all is “Pale Pugilist” and my fav from Longbow is “Frosty Avatar” well done on all.
@Naxoni - Thanks for the kind words! “Frost Bitten” is my favorite. I also think “Faded” is a good shot. Nice shots all.
@MrMartini85 - “Heavenly Haven” is my Favorite, I liked the faded look with the B&W this time a little better than how well defined “Recruit” turned out. I enjoyed all your shots, Well done!
Good luck to all submitting Screenshots for the Bulletin this week, looking forward to seeing everyones screenshots in the forum! Have a great rest of the week and weekend.
> Is there a reason why I can’t find any of my current shots on the public file browser…?
I’ve been having that issue too with some of them, so I started tagging them with my gamertag so I can quickly search for them all. Also, make sure if it’s over a week old, you change the search parameters.
