The results from the 50th 343i Weekly Community Poll are final! The next map 343i should remake is Chiron TL-34!
Thank you all so much for participating in these polls over the last year or so, it's been wonderful to see user discussion and debate stirred by your participation in the polls. Unfortunately, my personal life -outside of the forum- has made it difficult for me to think of new polls and find the time to post them once I do, leading me to cease the posting of any polls in the coming weeks.
I am unsure if the Poll will return after the Holiday season, but if it does, expect it in early 2015.
Thank you for making the 343i Weekly Community Poll a success, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Welcome all to the 50th 343i Weekly Community Poll!
Welcome all to the final weekly community poll! This the 50th 343i Weekly Community Poll to be posted and will be the last. Last week's poll results were a bit different, the poll asked members which Halo 4 weapon they didn't want in Halo 5, and they made their answer very clear:
AN OVER-POWERED BOLTSHOT! So while most member want to see the Boltshot return, they don't want to see an over-powered Boltshot return. Take a look at Unease P34nut's take on the Boltshot:
This is an easy one...
The Boltshot needs to be destroyed from existence. Absolutely obliterated! No trace whatsoever!!!
Having a pocket shotgun was just a tad too OP. I see what 343i tried to do, but giving it that much range was just nuts. Not only is the insta-kill range too far, the range at which it drops your shield, which is even longer, is far too far as well.
Not only that but it gets two shots? A cooldown time of half a second? What is this?!
Next to that the single fire option is completely useless as you cannot even drop someone using all 10 shots single fired so you were kinda forced to go hide in a corner with marshmellows and shotgun everyone that just so happens to come round.
How much more can you provoke camping with this gun?!
There is no thing more frustrating than getting jumped by someone with the Boltshot, and even though he misses he gets the chance to fire a second time or switch to his primary to finish you off.
If you use this gun, and I know there are some of you out there, I immediatly lose all respect for you.
[/rant]
EDIT:
After a long shoutbox dicussion I've come to terms on which it possibly can return to Halo 5 if it's fixed in the following way.
1. buff the single fire mode up to it taking one or two shots more to kill someone (last shot headshot) in comparison to the Pistol.
2. Nerf the Charged shot to it only taking down shields IF all pallets hit.
3. Increase the cooldown time to prevent quick charge and pop kills.
If it were to return with these changes I'd be able to tolerate it.
This week's poll will be my last. I'll explain more when this poll's results are posted- This week's Community Poll was suggested by Community Moderator, Total Mayh3m.
Which map should 343i Remaster Next? Explain what could change and what you would like to remain.
Leave your thoughts along with your vote below.

Great news for the X-One! I'm not all that surprised by the amount of Xboxes sold on day considering that China had a ban on consoles for a very long time. It's good to see such a good response on the first day of release though! Nice article EK.

So, how exactly does a language form from thoughts that rely entirely on images? How does someone think about things they have not seen if they cannot describe those things?

Human thought requires language, language requires thought, so my question is which one came first? Language or thought?

I was under the impression that Nightfall was going to be a legitimate series (i.e. 22 episode seasons) but now it seems it's going to serve the same purpose as Halo: Forward Unto Dawn. (5 episodes) Either way, I look forward to watching Halo:
The Walking DeadNightfall-

Welcome all to the 49th 343i Weekly Community Poll!
This the Forty-ninth Weekly Community Poll! Here are your results from last week!
Yes! Here's what SlenderYang (Yang Xiao Long) had to say about the Mantis's inclusion in Halo 5:
I'd say yes but it would need some major tweaking, they portrayed the Mantis to be some sort of overpowered killing machine in Halo 4 but it was literally a deathtrap for you. Every time I've gotten into a Mantis I could get far more kills in a mongoose than a Mantis due to it's size and lack of mobility which makes it extremely hard to dodge plasma overcharges.
The armour was also extremely weak since an overcharge and about 2-4 plasma grenades can destroy the mantis very easily, it's not exactly a killing machine as the gun on it's right arm is mostly inaccurate and they only sort of useful things it has is the 5 rockets on the side however, they do take quite a while for them to reload and they don't exactly have a good blast radius either. You'll need to shoot the rockets pretty close to the target to get the kill unlike a rocket launcher, fuel rod cannon and the incineration cannon (the incineration cannon did have the smaller clusters when it exploded to finish off the kill if the target didn't die)
However even though I've given the Mantis a lot of hate in this post it was still fun to use and it is a very interesting idea with quite a potential if it's done right but unfortunately it didn't really have a lot going for it, the only time I've ever really found myself aiming for the Mantis is when I first bought the game back in November 2012. I just really wanted to test out the Mantis for the first time and it was my goal on Ragnorak to try and get the Mantis first, when I used it though I found it to be very underpowering to many vehicles and I saw it as a support type vehicle instead of the highly capable weapon of mass destruction 343I told us.
Overall I would much like to see the Mantis come back but with a few tweaks, upgrades and maybe a few more extra perks on the Mantis so it would truly become the deathtrap that would turn the tides in any battle.
This week we will delve into another question regarding the multiplayer of Halo 5, but from the perspective of Halo 4. Here's this week's poll question!
Which Halo 4 Weapon Does Not Deserve To Be Included in
Halo 5's Multiplayer?

The Kestrel looks pretty cool, I wonder if we should expect to see it in Halo 5?
I won't be buying this at launch but it is nice to see Halo games being produced on various platforms as we await Halo 5.
Also, a note, I believe the game itself is set 5 years after the events of Halo 2, whereas the story itself begins with the events in Halo 2. Great article Adam!

Welcome all to the 48th 343i Weekly Community Poll!
So I wasn't able to post last week's poll due to moving, but don't worry, soon that won't be a problem. But as for the previous poll, here are your results!
No! A mini-map is not exactly welcomed by the community, but TheSpoookyCenturion makes an interesting proposition in his post below:
Hmm, good question.
How about instead of changing the radar into a mini-map, incorporate smartglass tech into the game where you can view the map and weapon spawns via your phone/tablet.
That way you get the best of both worlds without giving an unfair advantage and not changing the game itself.
This week's poll is a question regarding the one vehicle Halo 4 introduced, the Mantis!
Should the Mantis return in Halo 5?
