Again, Spartan has offered correct information. There are rumors of testing going on, but nothing confirmed. Major titles, especially Halo titles, get released just prior to the holidays. From a business and marketing stand point it is a popular and well proven practice. It provides higher sales which helps to ensure the best possible return on a developers investment. Business is business!

Insane, I agree in a very small way about some of the Reach attributes. I am not going into any detail and spinning this way off topic. I saw, as did many others, a correlation in the game. Getting back on point. Halo 4 will not be like Reach! Halo 4 has been dedicated to be a return to the formula that made Halo popular. I have a offered numerous quotes, videos and interviews that clearly support my statement. I would like a link to your statement of Frank's COD example, please, so I and the members can read it for ourselves. If you or anyone else needs links of my threads or posts I will offer them gladly.

Spartan is correct. 343i has no official website. There are many forums that relate to them and there games, but they are isolated from the public. They occasionally review these sites to get the sense of the fan base, but direct contact is not possible unless you are an insider. Anyone who says differently is miss leading you.

As of 10:45 pm the winners for the December Giveaway were selected from the eligible candidates. The winners have been posted in the "Announcements" forum. Thank you for your participation.

Serg there really i no way to contact 343i directly. I am sure you can understand why. We are a community forum and anything we can do to help we will. Just post what you are interested in and the member and I will do our best to help. Merry Christmas!

Note to all members and giveaway posters. The drawing will take place around 11:00 pm tonight and the winners will be posted in a separate thread here in the "Announcements" forum. The rules were simple for the giveaway! If you have entered it, review the rules to ensure you are properly offering the requirements. Good luck to all who have taken part!

Your support for new players and members is greatly appreciated! I hope you get a lot of responses. Judging from my last time on, your thread should fill up very quickly. P.S. TripleDark, I would normally move this to "Clan/Game Arrangements" forum, but it is Christmas after all and may consider placing it in the "Game Help" forum. You can PM, private message me if you like. If you will be "wholesale" training new or moderate players the Game Help forum may be the best spot. Let me know.......and "Welcome to the forums"!

The unofficial report is that Santa was using a new foreign mid size sleigh this year for the first time. His first low altitude test run went well except for the fact that he clipped a low voltage line to the server. The were no reported serious injuries, but Dasher has been seen flying with a minor limp in his right rear leg. There is no need for concern because reindeer heal at a much faster rate than all other creatures. That is all for now, any further Santa sightings may be reported here or with your local news affiliate.

There appear to be some temporary issues with the site. The "Chat Box" appears to be not working, posts are being problematic at times and inability to see comments on "Status Updates" are some that I have noticed. If you are experiencing any other issues, please list them here. Please be patient, we are working to figure them out.

I would like to wish all members and guests to this site a.... Merry Christmas! This is a very special time of the year for many people and I personally am thankful for so many things. I am blessed with a loving family, good friends and surrounded by members of the best forum the net. Most importantly the salvation afforded to us all by this days original event and crosses all of the boundaries of life. God bless!

Choot'em that is something that belongs in the 343 Industries Community forum's time capsule! That was just too good! You wrote that without any help from your wife? Choot'em You are the best example of showing the Christmas spirit and I thank you on behalf of the whole community!

The Classic playlist is the only one in Reach I truly enjoy. Everyone who has liked it before me in this thread has got it right, to all others who want to try and complain about our liking it with their less than mediocre responses can push off.

List your Gamer Tags guys or I have no way to find anything out!

Egypt you will be truly missed why you are gone. Have a good Holiday and remember to keeps our thanks for all of your hard work with you.

Hey Egypt.....about time don't you think?

This is a statement made by Fox News a few hours ago: SOPA was proposed to help end online copyright infringement, an issue the Motion Picture Association of America and the recording industry have long complained about. The House on Friday continued to debate the bill, which would require service providers to take action against "foreign infringing websites" that post stolen content. Cerf argued that it would put harsh demands on most websites -- and could lead to massive Internet censorship. Read more: http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz1giroDTQ1

Welcome to the forums Carter, hope you enjoy your stay!

I always felt it was a fail for Bungie to offer so much for recording in theater mode and screen shots, then offer so little factory storage space. We pay a good price for the subscription to XBL, the game console and the game, then they offer a minimal storage space as a stock item. Hopefully this will be a consideration by 343ind. to possibly add more factory space in the future. 343ind. should honor any contract of a franchise the have taken control of the rights to, it is part of the package in my opinion.

I don't know FIREN4, I played some Halo 3 MM last night a had a friggin' blast. You should join us some time. We roll!

That's only because when I drop my Schweatie Bag in...... The member above me has proven himself to be a worthy Community Events manager! The member below me can only manage a 0.10 K/D spread on their best day! lol

Yeah it's your butt! lol Too funny Choot'em!

I have done a quick search of the web and have seen no actual voting results. There was, as 9:45 pm last night, this post from Wired.com. There is no other current information on the web that I can find as of this post that indicates a vote was taken. Post any LEGITIMATE source that you have as they become available. Thank you. This is from Politico as of 4:30 pm yesterday. This is from CBS News Tech as of 8:30 pm last night. This is from Gameranx as of 1 hour ago. The following link is given to Congressman Lamar Smith site. He is from the 21st DIstrict of Texas and note the "Managers Amendment" near the bottom of the page. I attempted a link to the managers amendment and it would not work! You will have to select it for yourself. I also attempted a copy and paste which also failed. So I have taken screen shots of the H.R. 3261 Managers Amendment Summary.
