No. JXZAW.

I'm surprised that you haven't made more Flood maps, Zandril. This one looks very well designed with a clear sense of gameplay in mind, and who doesn't like an urban setting? The only problem with Flood maps on Forge Island is that they look too bright in my opinion, and it doesn't look really creepy. Would the Plague gametype work well on this map? I could see it being very fun.

Muse is pretty darn good, at least their pre-Resistance work is. The 2nd Law... ugh, dreadful. Other than that, I'm a metalhead. Emperor is great, Stratovarius kicks some serious butt, and I've been on a bit of a Triosphere and Votum binge lately dispersed with a little Logic Mess.

Well look at that, the purple dragon is now the pink dragon! Way to go, Spyro/Skylander! Also this:

It doesn't help that in most gametypes and Spartan Ops, it's impossible to betray allies unless you run them over with a vehicle. So you can keep meleeing or shooting your allies without any consequences. Hence, you get annoying twits who will do exactly that just for the heck of it. It was better in older Halo games where friendly fire was a default setting. If someone betrayed you, you could betray them back, or just boot them from the game and be on your merry way.

What would be even tougher is trying to win using only a Plasma Pistol or Boltshot without using their charge shots. I'd call that challenge... uh, Vegetable Versus. XD

This map looks like it'd be a blast to play! I'm not sure what it is about maps like this, but I'm a stickler for maps that utilize boats.

It should be mandatory for police officers to have psychological checkups every so often. Many have a tendency to stray from "protecting and serving" because they abuse their power and become slaves to their badges.

This. The first three minutes speak for themselves.

I like Complex for Flood. There are a lot of hiding spots, and if you know what you're doing, you can get Clever medals galore. Ragnarok is the worst. Even with vehicles, the map is way too open to be even remotely fun for me.

Warning! Challenger Approaching! Citizens in 343i City were stunned earlier this week when smoke and clouds of dust wafted off of a peninsula to the south of the city. Upon further investigation and after a voyage across the water, it appears that our fair city is not alone in this region. "I didn't know what to think of it," Church, a local constable, stated. "In all my years on this planet, I never thought I'd see anything like it. The people in this newly found town called it 'Something'... and their style of building is completely erratic." Church cited their usage of infrastructure and civic buildings which are capable of supporting far more than the few residents that live there. "Why build a hospital- I think it was a hospital- which can hold a few thousand people when the town itself doesn't even have a thousand people? It's ridiculous. We don't even have a thousand people in 343i City!" Zandril, a local construction foreman, commented on the young town's lack of aesthetic appeal. "[The residents] have no idea how to make their community look nice." The town, named Something, was founded within the past week according to witnesses. It has a population of 117 people, and has constructed a ferry port to link up to 343i City. "Every single person there appeared to be no older than thirteen years old," JXZAW, a member of the crew which explored Something, told the 343 Bulletin. "Their speech was composed of nothing but what sounds like curse words in our language! Why I bet if they spoke English, they'd be really annoying to hear on a microphone while playing online games," he explained, referring to their high-pitched voices. "When I said 'hello' to one, they said 'u n00b lolz', followed by a string of expletives. If these people are our neighbours, then I want to live in the Trench of the Banned." We tried to interview residents of Something; all attempts to breach the language barrier failed. Mayor Maestro hopes that trade can begin with Something and that both cities can work together for a better future. Mayor Maestro Indicates Incoming Industries Mayor Maestro proposed on Tuesday that a flatland on the northern side of Bungie Bay will be the site of a new industrial park. "Due to the remoteness of the area and the need for jobs in 343i City, this new industrial park will be a godsend for our people. The city cannot prosper if half of our people are unemployed," he said. "I'd place the park closer to the city itself, but any pollution created can wreak havoc on the pristine environment surrounding the city limits." The location in question is southeast of Moderator Mountain. Initial observations of the land show that a ferry port can be built on the southern banks, although supporting a shipyard will require careful modification of the land. "The population of 343i City doubled over the last month. We now have 289 people living here. Before you know it, we'll have a thousand. Then ten thousand. Then a hundred thousand! We need to prepare ahead of time to ensure that growth is smooth and the city can handle it. This industrial park would be a huge step forward," Mayor Maestro stated. The environmental impact of the industrial park has some residents worried. Local resident Hippie warned city council that tampering with the fragile environment near Moderator Mountain could have catastrophic results. "Building a shipyard at the mouth of Bungie Bay could disrupt fish spawning cycles. I would hate to see the futures of our mariners be thrown away without a second thought. Don't even get me started on what the air pollution could do." He also said that if this proposal were to pass, careful planning is required to negate any negative environmental effects. "If we're going to build factories, we need trees to absorb the gases that come out of those smoke stacks. Better yet, we shouldn't build factories at all!" He said with a laugh. "The site is home to an ancient forest. Some of those trees standing there right now are over 500 years old!" Due to the scope and the sensitive nature of this proposal, the mayor has invited residents to come to city council's open house at the beginning of March to ask any questions regarding the proposal.

Good job, everyone! All of you earned it! Continue to make the forums proud of everything you do!

As long as the Forerunners return, I don't see why their trusty sidearm wouldn't return with them. Annoying as it is when campers use it, it does a good job being the primary weapon of the "Flood" in Watcher Flood.

What I liked about Spartan Ops was that I didn't know what to expect in a level in terms of which enemies I would be up against. It's obvious when you hear that the Covenant has invaded the Infinity, but then Prometheans started to appear! I thought "grumble grumble grumble" at first, since Prometheans are a pain in the derriere. Upon retrospect, it was cool that 343 did that. Another feature I liked was not an intentional feature, but a glitch: in the desert level (I forget what it's called, Quarry or Foundry), go to the hill with the ring road that loops around it. Climbing up the intended hill that goes to the top, go to the rock jutting out to the right. Facing the rock, hop off the left side at the base. Crouch, and then walk into the rock jutting out. If there are enemies on the hill, they can see you and will shoot at you, but will hit the rock instead of you. If you're playing with others, you can rack up Distraction medals while your friends go and fight the aliens. There's another area like that where you can phase into the geometry. Try jumping above one of the doors in the structure in the upper left corner of Complex.

The level "Oracle" is ridiculous. Fighting the Heretic Leader at the end is a nightmare because of four Elite holograms with jetpacks dual-wielding Plasma Rifles!

It's common knowledge that Spartans cannot swim. Halo 4 is carrying this tradition on. I do think that in maps where water is prevalent, such as Forge Island, one should be able to stand in the water fairly deep before going down to Davy Jones's locker. It would make for realistic maps featuring beaches.
