The Wii U underpowered? It runs CoD Ghosts on 1080p while the X1 doesnt. The Wii U is an improvement to the Wii and that was the goal of the system Do you honestly think the Wii U tablet is a gimmick? Really? Seriously? Well good joke it is quite useful shows that you havent used it Do you know how many people are still picking the Wii U over X1 and PS4? Nintendo already has a hardcore fanbase and not to mention that Nintendo is aiming for the younger market. The Wii U was not a failure of a console you're just uninformed.

This is great news thanks for letting us know!

Wow it looks like you have no idea what Nintendo was trying to do well no one did for that matter Do you honestly seriously think the Wii U is trying to compete with the PS4 or Xbox One? If so you made a good joke. Nintendo did the smart thing and didn't care at all about what MS or Sony did. Do you think they care if the Wii U didnt sell as much as the PS4? No because Nintendo just wants the Wii U to do well which it DID and with amazing exclusives slowly rolling out it will just keep doing better. Unlike many other developers Nintendo actually took time with 1st party exclusives and you're ragging on them for that? Wow sorry for Nintendo wanting to deliver polished games. I mean who cares if they had terrible marketing? All anyone cares about is that Nintendo is even making worthwhile games on it which they are. Was the Wii U terrible? No it wasn't 8th generation has just started it is still too early to say if it actually will but so far it isnt. All Nintendo did was a terrible job with marketing but who cares if they took awhile to give us good games?

Take the kill because I am a jerk and want kills.

Some of these are pretty nice I really like the last admin one. You could consider emailing this to an Admin, Mod or anyone in staff really.

First off we are not 343i this is just a community forum And also I am not 100% sure 343 can do anything about it. Bungie made Halo 3 and they don't own the Halo franchise anymore. You will have a better chance if you go on the Waypoint forums or contact BSangel via twitter or email. (Her twitter is @BSangel) Best of luck

Very good on all of these! Perhaps you should make a devianart to showcase your work and take one big photo of the entire scene? This really motivates me to make some dioramas with my huge collection of Star Wars figures.

Yes what he said! please please tell us how you have made these amazing works of art! Very good job.

A diorama? How awesome! I haven't seen a Halo diorama since that Halo 3 commercial

So you're sacrificing broken weapons and actually making a balanced map just for pretty poorly balanced weapons? C'mon man you made an amazing map at least make it an amazing balanced map.

You're joking right? There is no confirmed release date you do know this was seen long ago and it has already been confirmed that is just a placeholder date. Do you really think 343i is going to release game in a month while giving little to no information on the game whatsoever? It was nice that you took the time to make the video but you also took 0 time looking up your information and are providing people with false news. Have a more reliable source before doing something like this, and please do not make such a misleading title.

Please stop thread bumping. You did this before.

I will poop on you if you ever say the PS4 is better. The Xbox One and PS4 are both gaming systems made for different gamers. You cannot compare them because at their core they are both fundmentally different. While both are gaming platforms the experience of using them is different. They are both unique the PS4 is not superior to the Xbox and the Xbox One is not superior to the PS4. I understand this is your opinion but you should not be supporting any console being superior. Consoles are a medium for which gamers can play the games they want. They are not a tool for which to promote discussions on which is better. The PS4 is cheaper but it is not better. Both are amazing because both systems provide unique gaming experiences to the user. Remember just please avoid using words like "better" when discussing your opinion because no console will ever be better than the other. The experience you had could have been more enjoyable/better but the actual system can not(Unless you're stating that the PS4 has better hardware or that the Xbox One has the better camera peripheral then the situation in which you used the word is different.) Also " But... do you NEED Halo for a great gaming experience? We all know... that the answer is NO" That is your opinion. So please never say "We all know" because everyone has a different view on the subject. I had to rant about this I am sorry the inner gamer inside of me is tired of these "zomg console Z is better than console U" If you enjoy the PS4 more that is fine but remember that the experience for you is better. I just want to make sure that we all know I am talking about the actual physical systems.

I agree with Zebra why not have a forge world sized map but all different and built around several themes? Like one in the arctic, or space, or grassy hills, or even dense rainforest. I love forge world but I also love what 343i did with different forge canvases.(Considering the 360 couldn't handle forge world with Halo 4 that would crash the system. Heck it couldnt even handle sandtrap.)

I love ALL the dinobots!!!!

As few of you may be aware of, but today comet ISON will make it closest approach to our sun at around 18:25GMT(or 1:25 P.M EST) I do not know if it will be visible during the daylight but this is the only chance in your LIFE to see comet ISON. It will probably never return to our solar system. Some important links for more information NASA Google+ hangout: https://plus.google.com/events/c8t7i5dbr1k50oq89giloiqe8rc and a video concerning the subject. The video explains the topic in a little more detail and also provides more details and links if any our interested. I just saw this today and thought it might be interesting to any space/astronomy fans on the forum like myself.

Agreed. Also make your chapters a little longer not to mention you barely used any commas or periods. I like the concept of Hunter and would love to read more but for now Silent Orbis might be good as an editor so you can avoid grammatical mistakes and do some writing exercises to avoid using a single word too often. Overall a step in the right direction just a few mistakes that can be easily fixed. Here is a writing exercise I use quite often. Get an image of something it can be anything, then describe it. The description can be as long as you want but you should aim to make it quite intricate and detailed(Remember that is for the writing exercise)

I have a strong feeling that your EMP-Burst will be in Halo 5 as an AA

This map is looking beautiful I would try to ruin your moral so you don't finish this map and I can win this competition but that probably wouldn't work. Oops I spoiled my master plan No seriously this map looks very very nice I like the use of the grass area in the middle. Good job Zandril!

I agree the concussion rifle and scattershot are much more balanced power weapons for this map. This map also looks beautiful I love the Impact forge canvas very very good job! EDIT: Why not a concussion rifle and sniper?

The day is finally here! Bungie has released another wonderful episode of their podcast in which they discuss all things from Bungie, to the core of Destiny. It is a very entertaining podcast and you can listen to it here: http://downloads.bungie.com/podcasts/Bungie_Podcast_Nov13.mp3 Or here: http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Bungie-Novembercast/en/News/News?aid=11301 It is also available on iTunes. I am not going to spoil what they talk about you're going to have to enjoy that for yourself fellow guardians!

Now that is correct but game development is difficult. Even more difficult for a studio that is trying to juggle DLC, fixing issues, working on the next Halo, and hosting the Halo 4 Global Championship. You have to remember what was going on during that time and the fact that this was their first game as a company. Not to mention it was a AAA game. Halo 4 could have been so much better but everyone makes mistakes and unless you're in the game development industry yourself none of us are in the position to really shun them for being late. I still think they could have done it sooner but the title update did including the weapon tuning patch that lets them balance weapons on the fly which in turn was well worth the wait. Did I forget to add the amount of backlash they were receiving during this time? It was insane and it no doubt decreased the moral of the 343 studios team. At the end of the day all this negative backlash helped them fully realize their mistakes and they know never to make it happen again which I hate to say it but I'm glad the Halo community expressed their dislike for the game. I wish it was done more maturely and constructively but as a result 343i now has a better grasp of what the community really wants, and I hope they hold true to their promise with the next title.

Giving the gift of teabagging.

Agreed with this. I have no idea what 343i is thinking when out of everything we ask for the most we ask for DLC playlist but they can't seem to hear us. I personally like the current map rotation but thats just my opinion. They're not the best maps but hey I know them all pretty well so its fun to play on them.
