Community Challenges – 8/10/2012

Community Announcements - Andy

This week’s Community Challenges have arrived! And you know what? We realized that you, and these Community Challenges, have something in common. You’re both awesome. Additionally, like last week, many thanks to you for <a href="http://www.gothamcityimpostors.com/forums/showthread.php/18937-Submit-an-In-Game-Challenge-Idea!">submitting</a> all of your ideas for in-game challenges! This week, <a href="http://www.gothamcityimpostors.com/forums/showthread.php/18937-Submit-an-In-Game-Challenge-Idea!?p=189700#post189700">Batduder</a> will have his name emblazoned onto your TV screens as you win round after round as a member of the Bats. (Even if we slightly altered the challenge name. Slightly.)

So, without further delay, here’s the latest batch of Community Challenges:

Streak Stop Head Shot (Repeatable!)
