Crime Rates Climb Crazily Over the past month, crime rates have seen a dramatic increase in 343i City, from one occurrence every six months to ten in a month. The latest additions to the crime climb include graffiti at the local college to assault in the city streets. Recent reports indicate that the victims of assaults were last seen wearing red or blue clothes. In a statement issued by the Chief of Police, RedStarRocket91, he urged citizens to take necessary precautions to protect their homes such as locking doors and windows as well as locking their cars and leaving nothing of value in plain sight; he added that having a laissez-faire attitude when it comes to safety could result in dire consequences. He also discouraged people from wearing red and blue clothing until the assailants have been taken into custody. To conclude his statement, he proposed that city council should impose a citywide curfew to stay ahead of the curve and a bylaw to restrict the sale of spray paint to individuals above the age of twenty-five. Graffiti appeared on the walls of the Derek Zoolander Centre for Children Who Can't Read Good three weeks ago, depicting the Director as a pig with odor lines and a profuse amount of pimples on his face or simply saying "dis collej sukz". While most residents dismiss these attacks as random, some think they are targeted, pinning the blame on the influx of well-to-do members and possible mafia connections. "The mafia is in this town, no doubt about it. It's just a matter of finding out who is a part of it," a citizen under the guise of Bnus told the 343i Bulletin. "They'll never reveal who they are if there are police officers snooping around. And who never come out of their homes? Everyone living in those new mansions being built everywhere." "Thankfully no one has died yet during this crime wave. As of right now, we are investigating the causes of these events and working around the clock to bring these wrongdoers to justice," Church said in a press conference. He emphasized the points brought up in the Chief's statement, and encouraged neighbours to look out for one another. "Neighbourhood watch may seem like a joke to some, but crime will slow down when more people witness these unlawful deeds in the act. Instead of munching on popcorn and watching your neighbour get mugged like it's some sort of police drama on television, pick up the phone and call for help! What you see is not an act; it's real." Unemployment Pushes Industrial Park With unemployment rates on the rise, many citizens stretching their last few dollars urged city council to begin work on an industrial park proposed several months ago, saying that it will make and not break the city's future. "Ever since we won the war against the Covenant and some of us got pulled into a vortex of some sort bringing us here, us veterans have families to feed! Idle hands are the devil's playthings!" UNSC Spartan-II pleaded on behalf of Human-Covenant War veterans living in 343i City. "The environment will be there in the future. The well-being of families in need will not if this industrial park isn't built now!" Ledgend1221, a veteran of the many battles between the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod, warned that a clear lack of productivity could bring many able-bodied workers to the brink of insanity. "Back in the old days, a lot of civilians were brought in to mine tiberium. Sure, the stuff was radioactive and we had to drive huge trucks reinforced with layers of lead that were six inches thick just to extract it, but it was an honest day's work. Now that those days are gone, many are without work and live in poverty." After hosting the open house with citizens, city council hastily approved the plan despite reported looks of apathy. Rumours indicate that Mayor Maestro was intrigued by the eventual increase in city tax dollars that the park would bring in.

Hiding the Autobot and/or Decepticon emblems somewhere in Forerunner architecture would be pretty funny Easter eggs, considering their most recent look would fit in Forerunner architecture pretty well. Plus it would explain their extraterrestrial origins and let them be the Forerunners to modern vehicles.

Radio/Video - System of a Down

Maybe Nintendo has something up their sleeves? It would be pretty cool to see old Gameboy and Gameboy Color games appear on the 3DS Virtual Console and let kids nowadays experience the games of the past without downloading roms on their computers. Keep in mind that nothing was done to commemorate the 25th birthday of the NES in 2010 or its Japanese predecessor in 2008, so maybe it's not a worthwhile venture to celebrate the birthdays of their consoles and instead celebrate the birthdays of their franchises. After all, my Skyward Sword case has "Zelda 25th Anniversary" plastered all over it. XD

The Locust and its UNSC equivalent may make an appearance in Halo 5, since the Storm Covenant may have salvaged some Locusts from earlier battles. The UNSC could have done the same and reverse-engineered it to make their own version. In terms of games, it'd be better if 343 focused on one game at a time to make them the best they can possibly be. Since Halo Wars wasn't a stellar RTS, I'd imagine making a sequel would be a lower priority than Halo 5 or Halo 2 Anniversary (if the latter even exists).

I don't have either flaming helmet in my inventory. ._. And probably the blue flames will become rarer, since Bungie is no longer dealing with Halo and 343 is not touching Halo Reach anymore. Although I would go out on a limb to say that both are equally rare. Also this should be relocated to the Halo Reach section.

Now there's the small task of developing faster means of travel as well as constructing a ship which can be inhabited for several centuries (perhaps millennia) and we'll be all set.

Bungie's Halo games had legitimately stronger enemies who used smarter tactics. Halo 4 has massive metallic monsters capable of respawning and teleporting infinitely as well as the ability kill you in one hit with a melee or fireballs or a laser beam WITH shields that have an ungodly recharge rate. If anything, older Halo games are fairly tougher than 4. Legendary on previous Halo games are similar to world 8 in NES Mario games (with Halo 2 acting as the Lost Levels), while Halo 4 is a rom hack where someone put a bunch of invisible coin blocks in annoying places.

Be prepared to sit in front of the TV for a long time. This challenge will take you around two hours, maybe longer if you fail a couple times. There's also a bit of a delay between set changes, so wait until the set counter says "5" at the bottom right corner before ending the game.

I love it how the first half of the wrap-up consists of nothing but events. Such dedication this community has.

Hopefully you two will make it. There's still plenty of time to decide and find out what your plans are that weekend. Another thing to note is that this may be my last playdate here for some time. When July rolls around, my gold subscription will run out. Come September, I'll be off to university. Soooo let's make this one count!! Send me off... with a bang.

No way Tucker

Please provide more information when you want people to play with you. You should say which game (Halo 4 or Reach), gametype (Slayer? CTF?), time (3pm? 2am? PDT? GMT?), and whether or not mic usage is preferred as well as your gamertag so people can get a hold of you. Your thread right now isn't telling us a lot. :/

Never tell a Canucks fan that their team stinks.
