  1. It's a special day on the site today everyone. That's right, it's Wrapup day so let's get into it!: Primary Announcement: I forgot it's the site's birthday and it's raining confetti all over this text! It is festive up in here! Twam is intoxicated and needs to be carried home! But why stop there!? COMMUNITY EVENTS Edward's Trinity Events Edward Kenway's first Event of the Trinity will be April 6th and it will be played on Mass Effect 3. Click above for information on the other two Events. HaloGeek's Civilization V Event HaloGeek is hosting his first playdate ever. This is not an official Community Event but it is going to be a good one nonetheless and not one you want to miss out on. If you've never played Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution that's ok, HaloGeek explains it for you. Find out the date and time by visiting his thread. Meet Your Maker Community Event Weekend The Meet Your Maker Infinity Slayer Forge Contest was quite possibly the largest Forge Contest in the Halo Community. Brought to you by 343industries.org and The Halo Forge Epidemic, it drew in over 100 submissions judged by a group of members from the community including THE Absolute Dog, THE Spades N AZ, THE WARHOLIC, and THE Psychoduck. I'm talking big names. And even bigger names when it came to participants. Winners included Squally DaBeanz, The Fated Fire, Redemption1272, PA1NTS, and Xinshu. It wasn't quite as big the second time around but it was still up there since participants were allowed two submissions each. If you don't know these names above then wait until you see their work. Find winning maps of the previous MYM Contests here and here. RSVP to the Meet Your Maker Community Event Weekend today.

  3. It's Tuesday which means it's Wrapup day so let's get into it: Primary Announcement: There are rules and there are important rules. This is an update for the latter. Oh just kidding it's the update itself OF the rules that's important. Either way, you must read this and abide to it. IMPORTANT RULE UPDATE. COMMUNITY EVENTS Edward's Trinity Events How does this community stay so active with so many Events you ask? Oh wait.. You didn't ask that? Oh, well I was going to say it's because not only do we have an outstanding Promotions and Events team, GiG, but other members who take it upon themselves, such as Edward here from our News Group, to entertain the masses! But since you didn't ask I guess I won't say any of that. Edward Kenway's first Event of the Trinity will be April 6th and it will be played on Mass Effect 3. OLD VS. NEW What is there to say about this... other than it was AWESOME! Good luck next time new members! .. No I'm kidding, for those of you who did not get to attend, the old members did win some games but the new members won the majority. It was a pretty tough butt whooping some games but all in all we had loads of fun especially playing CTF when F1ZM splattered his own team on the Ghost a bunch, playing Volleyball, and getting a chance to play Charles Stoot's Floor Runner mini game which can be located below. Great job new members but don't think this is over. Not by a long shot. Participants: Fishy, D-38 Boss, Cooliest, RedStarRocket91, BeckoningZebra1, Drizzy_Dan, Church, Torrenting, Bnus, Charles Stoot, Yang Xiao Long, JXZAW, Master Debaytes, VaultingFrog, JL, Total Mayh3m, Mothman, Connor Kenway, Adam91, Unease P34nut, Spyro, Spark, Halo 5 2014, Erebus, Halo5willbecool, UNSC Spartan II, Mr.Biggles, bkpaguy, and coldfreeze.

This is the last week to submit a caption! The Contest closes March 25th! FEATURED INTERVIEWS: The Blacklist Ms. Mystic AKA CandiBunni - No longer here. One - No longer here. Luke - No longer here. Just thought I'd throw you guys a fun Featured Interview section while new interviews are being made. FORGE Featured Map This is truly a mini game you have to see to believe. Inspired by Floor Masters from Halo: Reach, Charles Stoot created his own adaptation of the way this game works and made it into an astounding Ricochet mini game. This is Stoot's Floor Runner [ball]. Here's a short description of how it works: one team is on offense and plays Ricochet like normal.. Except that the ground beneath keeps going missing. Why? Because the guys on the grid above them who are on defense have trait zones that follow them and the effect of the zone deletes the piece under them temporarily. I don't quite know how to explain it all in Forge terms. Highly advised that you click above for his submission containing a download link. GAMING NEWS 343 Industries Looking for Environment Artist It seems 343i has a position open in their ranks. 343 Industries is developing the next Halo for us right now and are searching for an Environment Artist with at least 5 years of experience on a AAA 360 title, or the equivalent which is a whole number of things that BZ has listed for you in his article.

Edward Kenway has just come across some interesting details with help from our Affiliate Brett, and gives a nice thorough analysis on the cover and some of said details for the 7th installment of the graphic comic. Details on Xbox One April Update The Xbox One is going to have an update in the near future. BeckoningZebra gives you the deets in his article. Find it by clicking the picture above.

  6. Time for a quick history guys! Way back in October of 2011, Zed the Evil Taco came up with an idea that followed what RvB did, but in 343i Forum form. The basic idea was that each weekly episode would revolve around hot topics and mishaps here in the forum. Sadly, the machinima never got made. Zed dropped off which left me alone. I wrote the first episode script and even made a solid reusable intro for the following episodes. Twam and Spectral Jester were both cast as players, and even Caboose was cast to play Caboose from RvB. I came across these files on my PC today and I wanted to share a piece of history with you guys before it gets lost. So without further delay, here is the intro and the script. Enjoy guys! 343i Community Web Show Episode #1: “This is it?” (Credits are rolling) - about 10 seconds. While credits are rolling, we here metal clanging around and Zed Zed: “What the hell, is this broken? C’mon you piece of crap….(sigh), well this is great.. (Credits end and fade in from black) (Fade in is on Zed standing in the middle of ForgeWord (gulch area) Zed: “Ok is it rolling? Are we on? Oh….. Hey everyone, welcome to the first ever brand spanking new community web show called…uh.. 343i Community Web… (Twin enters from right and interrupts Zed, and stares at him) Twin: “Dude….what are you doing? Who the hell are you talking to?” (Close up of Zed’s face) Zed: “ Uh…I was introducing the show to our viewers?” Twin: “Viewers?” (looks around) “We’re in the middle of nowhere. Since when do we have a show? And who the hell would be watching us? (talks fast) “Is it Twam? Where is he? I swear to god if he’s stalking me again!” Zed: “(Sigh), I meant I was talking to our home viewing audience. You know, the people at home watching this on the internet. I was welcoming them to the first episode.” Twin: (looks around all crazy) Wait what?! We have a web show! When did this happen? Why wasn’t I told? I wanna be in it. Zed: (looks down in disappointment and shakes head) “You are in it (char2 name), don’t you remember? You signed up to co-host and write for it.” Twin: “Are you sure, that doesn’t sound like something I would volunteer for.” Zed: “You mean you don’t remember this?” (start flashback to yesterday) (Zed and Twin are standing inside a base) (panned shot so you see the entire 2 characters) Zed: “So Twin, I’m starting a new web show series.” Twin: “ A new Web Hoe series! Sweet! I love hoes. Hoes on the web! Epic!” (Zed starts correcting Twin on what he said and starts explaining it) (Twin starts internal dialog over top of Zed explaining the series) Twin: (internal dialog) “Hmmm I wonder what kind of hoes? Fat ones? Little ones? Hah those midget ones are so funny. I wonder if we’ll get to eat pie. Maybe we’ll eat pie with midget hoes. Oh man I am soooooo doing this. (Zed stops explaining) Zed: “Well? What do you ssay?” Twin: “Dude hell yeah! I am sooo in!” (flashback ends) Twin: “ Yeah, I do vaguely remember something. Hey come to think of it, where’s the pie? Where are the hoes!! It was all lies!! (Char2 puts his head down.) I’m sad now.” Zed: “ Look, lets try to focus ok. We’re doing the show now and we still need to help the audience understand what it is and why we are doing it.” Twin: “Doing what”? Zed: “The show. Machinima” Twin: “So basically it’s a RvB ripoff”. Zed: “Dude this is nothing like RvB. For one, we aren’t professional”. Twin: “Good point” Zed: “Number two, the cast is nothing like RvB. It’s completely different.” Twin:” Yeah… a bunch of guys standing around inside Halo doing stuff, and filming it. Yeah completely different.” Zed: “It’s not the same!” Twin: “Yeah…it’s the same. Tell him Caboose” (Camera pans left to reveal Caboose standing next to Zed) Caboose: “I like pie” Twin: “See? It’s the same. Caboose likes pie and that’s good enough for me.” Zed : “ok, well three. Instead of the stupid hijinx they do, we will be talking and going over community related issues from the forums.” Twin: “So it’s a knock-off of a RvB PSA?” Zed: “Yeah…NO!” Caboose: “Yeah it’s the same” (shot pans out and we see Twam and #4 walking in) Spectral: (looks at Zed then Twin)“Hey, what are guys arguing about?” Twin: “ Zed is trying to sell everyone the BS notion that this web show is in no way anything like Red vs Blue.” (Twam and #4 look at eachother, and speak at the same time) Twam: “Yeah it’s the same” Spectral: “Yeah it’s the same” (Zed looks away from everyone) Zed: “ (sighs) “Can we just get on with this and foget about it”. Twin: “ Forget what? Oh that crappy RvB knock-off you wanted to do…..wait what?” Zed: ” OK OK OK. It’s somewhat similar. Ok? GOD! We’re almost out of time and still haven’t even explained the show yet!” (Twam looks around confused and then looks at Twin) Twam: “We’re doing a show?” (Twin looks at Twam) Twin: “ That’s what I said.” (Fades into black and credits start rolling) Zed: “You guys suck. See look! The credits are already rolling and no one has any idea whats going on… Caboose:” I have to pee” Zed: “Shut up Caboose” Caboose: “ Nevermind….I’m done”

COMMUNITY EVENTS USF Inauguration Event Since our TWO Presidents have taken office, Spyro our head of the USF Elections, requested that there be a Presidential Event for the USF.

GAMING NEWS Bioshock Creator, Irrational Games, Closing Down Yes what you read is true. Bioshock creators, Irrational Games, are shutting down and handing over Bioshock to 2K Games. News relayed by BZ, like and leave your thoughts. Steve Downes Confirms Halo 2: Anniversary It's exactly what the Halo Community has wished for but now that it's a very likely possibility, is it something we all want? Will it be what we all dreamed about or will it be overkill for the game that revolutionized competitive gameplay and practically kick started Xbox Live? Adam gives you the story and quote from the Master Chief himself, Steve Downes. Titanfall Beta Open to Xbox One and PC Users As I'm sure most of you know, the Titanfall Beta went public on Sunday, February 16th. I've heard extremely good things about this game but I don't have an Xbox One to play it on myself and I doubt my PC will be able to handle it lol. I believe it's still open and definitely not something you want to miss. Even if you're not sure about getting the game this could be your chance to solidify your decision on whether it's something you want or not. Edward Kenway brings you the news. For more Gaming News check out the latest on our Front Page. HOT TOPIC It should come as no surprise that this week's Hot Topic is the best mystery fiction writing going on on the site right now.

Psychoduck has made it clear that it's been great being hosted here but realized that although our Halo Community is excellent, our Forge aspect is not as strong whereas HaloCustoms is stronger in that area. Along with that, he helped build HaloCustoms and is on Staff there so really it only makes sense.

As a part 2 to Yoshi's original Conspiracy thread, this one rekindled the members' growing suspicions about the Staff and created mass hysteria even getting @343iBot involved. And now the creator of the thread, Edward Kenway, is our new MoM?? Funny how things work out eh members? Muahahahahaha MEMBER OF THE MONTH: January Our January Member of the Month was none other than our crazy forum ninja, onsokumaru. Since he joined, onsokumaru showed great attitude and enthusiasm for this site and introduced Events that members enjoy today.

  18. Hello everyone welcome back again to the Wrapup and thanks for keeping interest and encouraging these to keep being made. Let's do December!: Primary Announcement: December was a major month for us here on the site and something that really stuck out to me and should really be taken to consideration is this thread made by our Comms Department's Dog. Check out We Need To Appreciate. COMMUNITY EVENTS Out With A Bang Trilogy Event Parts 2 and 3: Modern Warfare and Halo 3 "Send me out... with a bang..." Don't know much about these Events myself but I'm sure they were spectacular. I mean you're talking about 2 titles that changed the way people played Xbox Live! These games revolutionized competitive gaming. Halo 3 MLG was a very big part of my time on Halo 3 and a lot of other people's as well because it got its own playlist! Modern Warfare and Halo 3 were both Pro Circuit games back in the day. Again, so disappointed I missed out.. The 343i.org 2013 Christmas Tree I'm putting this in the Community Events section because that's essentially what our Christmas Tree is. It is an Event in which our Community participates in on the site. I also think violet was a good color to highlight it with. Although it doesn't require us to get online and play together it requires us all to be on here and give the things we don't need, sometimes things we actually go out and buy specifically for this, to our fellow members. The Christmas Tree was started a year ago and always gets tons of gifts under it from our warm community here at 343iCF. I won't give a list of the names of members who provided gifts for this Christmas Tree simply because there is a long list and I don't want to type it. Maybe I'll edit in later? Anyway, all contributors to the Christmas Tree got this very prestigious site Award: - This would be the Helping Hand Award. Given to those who have given to the site. Thank you to everyone who donated to the 343i.org Christmas Tree, it would have been nothing without all of you. If you have any Community Event ideas post them here. FEATURED INTERVIEWS Bob - One of my favorite members on this forum. Bob was our first Site Moderator and is a generally interesting person. They say if you see him on the site and get to talk to him, you'll have good luck for the rest of your life. *Interviews have resumed. Preaacchh.*/hint FORGE Ok who remembers the Meet Your Maker Dominion Contest that concluded in December? I've got the results for you in case you missed them! In third place: by DUN3Z In second: by Xinshu And in first place, the winner of the Meet Your Maker Dominion Forge Contest is: by PA1NTS Featured Map: December Unquestionably the most interesting map of December, Duel-Wield Puzzlers by Juggacly, is a 2v2 puzzle map! I love puzzle maps! There are two teams of two and they have to navigate obstacles and help each other reach the finish of the map where they get to the area seen above with a Shmeef in it. This to me is a must download and play with some of your friends. Congratulations @Juggacly on having the Featured Map of December! GAMING NEWS Games Coming To Nintendo In 2014 TheCooliestOne of our News Group hit us with some awesome news about the upcoming games from Nintendo and they look so good that they make me want a Wii U. I didn't even get a Wii. For the list of games and their trailers, click the picture. New Creative Director for 343 Industries Some big news brought to us by adamj via TeamBeyond. Josh Holmes, former Creative Director of 343 Industries, has stepped down from his position and has been replaced by Tim Longo. The reason for the switch is unknown for now. Please visit adam's thread for more. For more Gaming News check out the latest on our Front Page. HOT TOPIC: December Only second to the Crazy Grunt's Riddle Challenge Round 6, came this thread in replies. Created by Member - , Who wants, is a topic about whether or not you wanted Hayabusa back in Halo 4 or whatever other armors you wanted. Apparently a lot of you had something to say on this matter. So congrats Echo CT on having the Hot Topic of December and everyone go visit and or revisit the thread! MEMBER OF THE MONTH December's Member of the Month never got their own spot on any previous Wrapups so I'm pleased to remind everyone of Sparky's electrifying achievement. Spark was a member who'd gotten a few Warnings but corrected himself, changed his ways, and showed his true color: pink. I've known Spark since he got here and he's a great member. Even though he's not the MoM anymore he still contributes to this community just as much as when he was. Congrats again Sparky! Announcement thread. MoM Post. NEW COMMUNITY MODERATOR Although not new now, Azaxx was promoted to Community Moderator back in early December. If you're on, chances are he is too and he is watching you. Azaxx is an ever-vigilant Moderator and is there if you need something. Revisit his thread! TOP 15: DECEMBER This is a section I would like to keep in the Wrapup starting now. I hope members get together and continue this tradition. The Top 15 list is composed of members who show the greatest contribution to the forum over the past month. If you have a problem with the picture then shut up and hold it forever. Now, here's our Top 15 for December: Sikslik7 Beckoningzebra1 Maestro the Stampede The Dumb Marine Silent Orbis D-38 Boss HaloGeek Brett Edward Kenway JXZAW Axilus Prime NOVA Shockgazm UNSC Spartan II onsokumaru Honorable mentions go to: Tucker Zandril and Elite FAREWELL As big and eventful as December was, not all events were cheerful. There was one very big event that occurred in December leaving almost every member in awe. Absolute Dog was a jokester from the start and was always looking for a way to get involved since he joined. He found a great love for this community instantaneously. One day he PMed Twam and asked if there was anything he could do to help and Twam told him yes, he could work alongside the one and only Spectral Jester and help moderate the site as a Community Moderator thus beginning his legend on the 343i Community Forums. And a legend he is. AD was not only a great Moderator but person in general. He had all the character, charisma, humor, and was stern but never strict when necessary. It was very easy to look up to a man like AD. He took this forum from the small isolated community it was and almost single handedly created all of its ties with its Affiliates such as HaloCustoms, ForgeCafe, THFE, and Certain Affinity. He was the bridge this site needed to help create a united Halo Community. Now the site has been left up to RedStarRocket and all of us to help keep it to his standards. It's impossible to measure the hours Absolute Dog has given to this site. We salute you AD and best of luck in future endeavors. RedStar, we're all here to help when you need it! Here are some last words Dog left for us on the site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhx-ZDIwu4w#t=0 Thank you all for taking the time to read this. Please stay tuned for a cumulative January Wrapup as well. Then we should be switching back to the weekly. This post has been promoted to an article

This forum, what we were in the beginning and have become, is not based on any one person. Where I genuinely take to heart all of thoughts you have shared, the site is a culmination of all of us.

We did this together.[/i][/font][/center] [center][font='comic sans ms'][i]Please remember what the leaders of this forum have to do in order to manage our corner of the Halo universe. Spades summed it up the best, though it feels self serving to say so. Providing solid and consistent leadership can often be separate from your personal feelings. Only a handful know how far I went to support some members and ideals of this forum and the price paid for it. It may surprise you to know who and what they were, but it will remain private. In the end, give the leaders and moderators polite respect and work to continue to build what we have and not tear it apart. Have conversations not arguments. We can not control the direction Halo takes, but we can control how we act and interact around the game. This is a forum at it's core and by definition offers the format for pro and con discussions to take place...........that has to be understood and accepted.[/i][/font][/center] [center][font='comic sans ms'][i]Thanks to each and every one of you for all of the kind words and support over the years.

  20. Hello everyone welcome back. I'm wrapping up where I left off and that is way back in November and the next one will be the huge jam packed December, and then hopefully we'll be weekly again! Primary Announcement: It was Mayh3m's birthday in November! 343iCF's NEW AFFILIATES I am pleased to announce our site's newest Affiliates. Everyone please give a virtual round of applause to ForgeCafe, headed by the great undr zid and home to one of their most profound members being our previous MoM, Zandril, and Forge World Maps which is mainly associated with our good buddy Brett, who is not new to being featured in the Wrapups. Both provide excellent value to our site. Please give them warm welcomes anytime you see them online. COMMUNITY EVENTS Out With A Bang Trilogy Event Part 1: Gears of War 3 "Send me out... with a bang..." So as you all know the Out With A Bang Trilogy has come and gone and was a great success from what I've heard. The trilogy Event was in honor of saying so long to the greatest console ever made: The Xbox 360 - where just about all of our Xbox memories occurred. Party systems, great games, cool apps and features, the good old days. I'm super ticked I couldn't make it to any but I hope you guys played a good game for me. The first part started with Gears of War 3, my favorite Gears of War. If you have any Community Event ideas post them here.
