First off let's introduce the new Affiliates tab. Hover over the Other tab and you'll see the list of other things we have there and at the bottom you'll find a tab of all of 343iCF's AFFILIATES:

DGL

 

Next up we're going to talk about Doc's Gaming League Season 2 or the DGL. Originally thought up by DoctorB77, it is a singles tournament. The DGL is a hard thing for one man to maintain and the Legendary Member Choot 'em saw this and volunteered his help backing the tournament from the start. This is the gaming league's second season and it is more official than ever. The DGL Forge Submission Contest has already come to a close and maps have already been chosen for the tournament's 15 weeks. The last week is the showdown between the remaining competitors. 33 members signed up for the DGL this season. Here I'll provide you with the Weekly Match List, Rules and Info, Gametype and Scoring Info, and the Match Results. The tournament is split into two brackets appropriately named after the 2 DLC map packs: Crimson and Majestic.

QUILT QUALIFYING PLAY DATE

Halo 4 Monthly Playdate: Quilt Qualifier

Initially hosted by Absolute Dog, I was at the Halo 4 Monthly Playdate for 4 hours or so and it was great. Good old fashion fun. We started with about 8 people which quickly jumped to 10 and then before we knew it we were at 14 and then a full party of 16. We were doing matchmaking games until the party got too big and then we were playing customs. Slayer and Flood and then an awesome Halo version of the classic board game Clue. People came and went and here's who I saw there:

Absolute Dog, imakequilts, Drizzy_Dan, EliteIsnip3r, Shaudy430, Red Death, Bobo Magroto, Barack Obama, Azaxx, DocSpartan007, skummgummigubbe, D-38 Boss, Caboose The Ace, Kalaphite250, Reptile, Spark918, Elite, Yoshi1176, Osama Bin Bungie, Lil Dog, Church, SPARTN-104, Vaulting♥Frog, adamj004, SikSlik7, and SweatyBagels

This playdate was a Quilt Qualifying Playdate which means everyone who participated entered a chance to win a quilt made by the one and only imakequilts! Info on the Quilt Qualifying Contest can be found here!
Everyone who participated is also getting the Gamer Award:
