Well originally I wanted to get this out on Saturday but this turned into a busy weekend and so we skipped a weekend but hopefully I didn't skip any beats. Enjoy: Primary Announcement: I decided to change the way I direct you to links. I tried to provide pictures and hyperlink them for each section and sub-section so I'm not always saying 'Click here! Click here! Find it here!.' It doesn't apply to all the sections however. ANNOUNCEMENT I haven't seen a time limit on this so I assume it's still going and I haven't noticed too much activity with it so hopefully this picture will help!

HOT TOPIC Halo Command - Browser Based Halo Strategy/RPG/Text Based Game Started by a member by the name of Glitch100, Halo Command will be a browser based Halo game involving the aspects of Strategy/RPG/TBRPGs which is what makes it very interesting. I support Halo Command because it's just another step towards bringing back the love for the Halo Universe itself and not just the games and multiplayer which is what everyone's been focusing on since Halo 4 came out. This may not be an official 343 game but it is something to look into. Click the picture to get linked to the Halo Command thread.

PLAY DATES Staff vs Members Play Date We had an excellent time at the Staff vs. Members Play Date today. It started off with me, JL, and RedStarRocket flipping an Elephant on Sandtrap. Then me and RedStar faced off against Frankenzer and JL and then it turned into me and RedStar against 5 members. Then Doc joined and helped us out and we had a couple of 3v7s going. The most memorable game I think though had to be CTF Valhalla because me and Doc were owning in the Warthog. And that game skummgummigubbe got betrayed by the Staff three times.. Twice by RedStarRocket and once by me and Doc splattering him in the Warthog. I swear I was going to pass right in front of him though. The lag was off the charts. Anyway thanks to everyone who joined, this was a good time. I hope it gets started up again later today. Sadly I can't host. Omega inForce got some footage that he's going to post and I'll update this when he does.

PLAY DATES Halo: Reach Play Date This Halo: Reach Play Date was interesting to say the least. I missed out on the beginning but when I got there everyone was in a big lobby with randoms and they were getting them to betray them so that they could boot them out of their own party. Apparently Omega inForce (Jl1223 X/JL X4) recorded the whole thing and put it on YouTube. There was this whole trolling business that JL put together and it was very anti-climactic . Afterwards we left and played some competitive customs like Headhunter, SWAT, and FFA Slayer. GSD won everything. See you all next week at our Staff vs Members Play Date! sign up here.

If you like fan written work then read this. This is by D-38 Boss and it's an alternate storyline for Halo 3: ODST. That in itself just sounds really interesting. Really good writing too. Check it out here. PLAY DATES Dominion The Day Away Wow. What is there to say about this event. This has to be one of the biggest events in the site's history. So many people that we had 3 lobbies going, 2 of them over regulation size for Dominion. AbleSir Thomas was being flooded with messages like crazy and anyone who couldn't get into his lobby was messaging me and RedStar and it was just a crazy awesome time. Rivalries were rekindled, such as the long living rivalry between Bob and GSD dating back to when this site was a baby. Communities were brought together: there were many more people than just 343i.org members at this one. And we had some great hosts. We could not thank you enough RedStarRocket91 and AbleSir Thomas. And all in all everyone had fun. Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun. The maps were great too. You can find the list of the maps in the Dominion: The Day Away After Action Report by RedStarRocket here.

USF ELECTION It's back! Spyro's United States of the Forum Election is back up and our candidates are being elected. Winner becomes the President of the Forum. Which means nothing but is awesome. The election process has closed WELCOME BACK It's always great to see an older member make a return to the forums. @Twinreaper has been a member here since 2011 and the guys who were around then are the real oldies and deserve the real respect. He's known for being our site's very first Member of the Month, his vast knowledge of everything that makes up Halo, and maxing out our swear censors. Twinreaper is someone everyone oughta get to know. Welcome him back here. YOUTUBE This video is by lordcrusnik1986. It's a video of in-game slow motion assassinations. The catch is that nothing was slowed down when they were recording or editing. You get to see the assassinations in all their glory in full slow-mo, except nothing was slowed down. I don't know how they did it but they did.
