Particle Man - They Might Be Giants

To celebrate a year of me being here, I've got a present for you! Would you believe I finally took a stab at making a Slayer map? I know, I can't believe it either... the Minigame Man making a Slayer map? Well, there will be an updated version coming up with weapons placed around the map. But for now, I have some ordnance in place. I call it... SYNERGETIC RS About the map itself... I didn't want to build a sprawling flat Slayer map, so I built a tall one instead. The structure is composed of four floors, with two initial spawn points per floor except the top floor. This map is designed for 2-6 players, meaning it's great for FFA or a small squad-on-squad brawl. On the bottom floor, you can find two jetpacks. It is symmetrical in its layout, with a multitude of directions to go between floors. There will be at least two routes up and two routes down, unless you're on the top or bottom floors. And of course, there are also shortcuts to be used by those who use jetpacks or use good ol' gravity to reach paths on other floors. Just remember that it's not the fall that'll kill you, it's the landing. Since this was initially designed with the Minigame Toolkit, the strut pieces between the station core pieces and the railing beside the holes to the bottom floor will show up in regular Slayer. When played with the Minigame Toolkit, they will not show up. These strut pieces prevent players from getting crushed between the rotating bars on the cores and the railing. If you remove those struts, you will die. The automated turrets in this picture have since been removed due to a lack of functionality in gametypes outside of Dominion. Also, grenades spawn in ordnance form surrounding the atrium seen here. The name itself refers to the name of the original map, Synergy. Synergy's an incomplete team battle map where one player on each team is capable of controlling a large bridge to enable your teammates to get to weapon caches, or to prevent the enemy from heisting your flag. Instead of finishing Synergy, I made the static map Synergetic. The top floor is sparse in cover due to the presence of a power weapon or powerup. In this version, a Damage Boost or an Overshield will appear in the middle of the glass circle. As for the RS in the name, that stands for... REDNECK SELECTION. That's right, if you went to my birthday bash back in February to witness the creation of the Redneck Selection gametype, this map is fully compatible with it! So dust off yer shotguns an' scattershots, tune yer banjos, and get huntin'!

You could always join playdates around here! We aren't jerks in game. And Grifball is always a gong show. It's one of the easiest gametypes to abuse thanks to betrayal and spawn-killing galore, but excellent for getting Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer commendations.

Brutes in Halo 3 are pretty fun to fight. They appear in all different types and each one has their own strengths and weaknesses. Plus if you have IWHBYD active, they say funny things.

It would be nice to see a beefed up Scarab, since the Halo 2 Scarab didn't get much usage other than roaming around New Mombasa and on Installation 05, and the Halo 3 Scarabs just stood in place and spun in circles to try and hit you. Halo 2's was much scarier thanks to the hordes of Elites aboard.

Nice try JXZAW

10PM, hmm? I may show up at 10:30, but we'll see how my timing works out.

The Swedish edition of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was pretty well done. That's the only foreign film I remember watching since... well, since I was born.

Ha ha, Drizzy, nice April Fool's joke. Now where's the real wrap-up?

Actually, the answer is aliens.

*arbitrary Illuminati response* Also, three conspiracy threads... Half-Life 3 confirmed.

4 Also this should be moved to the offbeat section.

I found that article about the Xbox One's release date most informative! Now I need to remember to wait in line at the midnight release four months ago.

Hey guys, I got a terrific new map for you! It is nothing short of revolutionary in its design, and has been a work in progress for quite some time. I've been toiling away since I first joined this site to send my previous work out of the water... and I've put a lot of effort into it to make this map blow all other maps ever created out of the drink too! I have put my heart and soul into it, as well as a few other people's hearts and souls too... I think they're clones... I hope they are. If not... well, never mind. I put all of my geometry skills to the test, and all of my building prowess and my nose to the grindstone. I broke several controllers in the process of making this map. My copy of Halo 4 melted while building this. My shelf nearly burned down thanks to my Xbox overheating. Seriously, this map... ...is... ...amazing. It's basically dodgeball only you can't directly hit your opponents. Instead you have to throw grenades over a wall! Ordnance appears every 5 seconds, with two of every type of grenade appearing. You have Promethean Vision so you can get a rough idea of where to start spamming grenades. I call it Fort Leonard. You play Lenny Slayer there. It's beautiful, ain't it? And just remember, things aren't always what they seem... APRIL FOOL'S! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If you encounter them, report them and give their profiles bad reviews to lower the chance of you encountering them in matchmaking again. Upload the footage in theatre mode to your file share. Also, post a topic about it on Halo Waypoint with a link to the footage of them cheating.

It is a part of the "Noob Combo", where you can charge it up to take down an enemy's shields and follow up with a headshot. It's invaluable in older Halo games, but not so much in Halo 4 thanks to its inefficient battery and inability to home in on its target effectively.

Aw nuts, someone made a pun based on his username already. Butter think of another one... Way to go, Peanut!

The one thing I loved in Halo 4 was the Forerunner architecture. It was EPIC, shiny and really beautiful to look at. The architecture was fitting for a civilization who were the kings of the galaxy 100,000 years ago!
