  3. Hello everyone! Lately as you know I have been doing some things on Forza Motorsport 4, And so I decided I'd let you all in on it. I started a car club, The 343i Community Forum club. And since every car club comes with a garage, I figured I'd make cars to match our family and amazing website here! NOTE: Every car I make will not mean a new post, Just an edit to this post and a status update to go along with it stating I made a new one! So, No worries. Now, If anyone has Forza Motorsport 4, You can hit me up at 'Bloodchicken55' as that is my Gamertag and you can join the club (if you want). Every car will have the same type of theme, Depending on what car. I wanted to try reaching out to all drivers, So I'm going to go from F Class all the way X. (Which I already have an X being made.) So without further ado. Here we go, Our first car!! 1. 1962 Lincoln Continental 2. 2005 Ford Mustang GT 3. 2010 Mazda #16 Dyson Racing B09/86

  10. Hello everyone!! I know it has been awhile since I have started a topic, And here is what I have thought of just now. So, as you know, I am the creator of Odd-Runner, A game type for Halo 4, That I thought would be ready last year, But I have added mods to it to add more fun and diversity to the game type. And with a trailer being made for it as well, I considered this... There are TONS of members here, Family. And all of us have a very creative instinct; Whether it be stories, gaming, modding, making movies... Lots of things! And being it is our families big third today, I figured I'd bring this idea out. So many people want to share their art, Their time and effort. And I know what your thinking, "But we already have a section for that, Right?" Well... Yes, We do. But some people don't get the attention that their [insert type of art here] deserves. So, What if one week, Every year, We all have a small showcase, On one forum thread. But, The next year we'd see for example: "343iCommunity Forum Showcase week 2015". These threads will have bunch of members posting their creations on that one very important week, For the things they find most important. I know it would probably considered clutter, But just imagine all the fun that can be proposed through this, And one rule to make sure everyone has appreciation - You must read or at least acknowledge what was made, And simply give your feed back, Don't be mean of course, But if you dislike a certain aspect, Just simply explain it without being so harsh... That is just my idea for this amazing site, Leave what you think below. See ya starside!! -TDM
  11. 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?

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.

  24. As some of you may know I am now in charge of the forum Youtube channel and I really want to breathe some life back into it and help get the members involved as well! This is what leads me to my question what would YOU like to see on the Youtube channel? Of course it has to be gaming related(I mean it's not like we're a gaming forum or anything) If you don't already know some awesome projects coming to the channel are: Community Event Funtage, and Podcasts. I am also interested in exploring the possibility of featuring member created videos on there too. As for getting the members more involved. Well if you want to be in the Funtage my best advice is to attend Staff/Member hosted playdates as someone will no doubt be recording(Usually me but I won't even mention it) . I am also considering the idea of a machinima made by the whole forum! I look forward to great 2014 with the forum and hope you guys get involved too. If you have any ideas please leave them below! If you don't want to share it you could always PM me. Also don't forget our super cool Dog is helping with communications too so give him a round of applause as well Also you haven't already please subscribe to the forum youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/343iCommunity You get a cool award if you do!
  25. 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
