  1. Hey guys, lots of fun topics in the Wrapup this week so thanks for viewing it. Primary Announcement: My iPod that was getting repaired has come in today. CONTESTS Minecraft Tournament I don't know what this is exactly but it was in our Contests and Events Forum so it must be official because only Mods and Promotions/Events Staff can post there. So from the look of it, it seems to be a tournament for Minecraft and the winner gets 1600 points! There's a poll involved on whether you would be interested or not and this thread has gotten no replies and I think I might've been the only person to view it. Find the contest here. DGL The DGL will be making its final step forward again. The REAL finals start May 17th. Ladies and gentlemen I give you: Castle Division: Drizzy_Dan, Gazzy Mill Mill, Neurotic Kasper, Sarge, SikSlik7, Forum Dinosaur, Hater, Real Talk If you still want info on the DGL for some reason click the links below: Rules/Info Match_Results Gametype/Scoring EVENTS Tuesday Night Tests Do you want gameplay tested opinions on your Forged maps? Do you want opinions from a very experienced Forger that's part of one of the most famous map reviewing groups on the internet? Are Tuesday nights good for you? If so, our new Member of the Month, AbleSir Thomas of The Halo Forge Epidemic runs Tuesday Night Tests which is a lobby for testing maps. It's a really fun time and they take place Tuesdays at 7PM EST. So if you want your map posted or if you'd just like to attend TNT click here. FEATURED INTERVIEWS DocSpartanO07 - One of our great Community Moderators who has such an incredible dedication to this site. Doc tells you a lot about who he is and why he stays dedicated to this site. AbleSir Thomas - This was done before he became our new Member of the Month but we still had a lot to talk about. AbleSir Thomas gives you the skinny on Dominion Forge. FORGE Get A Clue Forge Contest The Get A Clue Forge Contest is OVER. Well submissions are at least. Master Debaytes is hosting test lobbies for the maps and you can find them over on HaloCustoms. Featured Map Here is just a small area inside Raphael Megusta Stu's competitive map, Hyperion. From what I've seen in the gameplay video: you can find action around every corner, the man cannons prove to be very useful, and there are some interesting vantage points on the map. There's also good cover and the sight lines are not too long. Find the gameplay video and more awesome screens of @Raphael Megusta Stu's map here. HOT TOPIC This week's Hot Topic was HOT. You can't post in it because it was locked but it's worth a read in my opinion. Here's an example of how not to act when receiving feedback from THFE when you clearly submit a map to them to get their feedback. Some contraversy over a map, that was fun to watch. Thankfully it didn't get too crazy before AD locked it up. Find the fun here. MEMBER OF THE MONTH May 2nd, The Halo Forge Epidemic's AbleSir Thomas became our newest Member of the Month! It does this community well to see one of our partners get the honor of wearing the pink name that is MoM. Here's the announcement thread where you can congratulate him: Announcement. Our great former MoM, Victory Element, will now be awarded with the MoM Award: PLAY DATES Halo Wars Play Date The Halo Wars Play Date was a huge success if I do say so myself. We had a full lobby right from the start and two lobbies going. First we started with me, skumm, and Boss against Sweaty, Elite, and the Heroic AI. We destroyed them. Then AbleSir Thomas joined the fun and it was the same teams except we decided to go all random leaders and Boss got stuck as Covenant and was MISERABLE. It was great. And I got wrecked by AbleSir, Sweaty, and Elite's air units combined. All in all, great time. Participants: ThomasScott02, D-38 Boss, Elite, skummgummigubbe, SweatyBagels, AbleSir Thomas, Frankenzer, BaconShelf Impromptu Switch to Halo 4 Next we switched to Halo 4 where we gained more players and had a lot of fun. We played a lot of different games and it was good to talk to some members I hadn't seen in a while. Participants: D-38 Boss, Elite, skummgummigubbe, SweatyBagels, HaloGeek, Jl1223 X, SikSlik7, Frankenzer, BaconShelf, Real Talk Then the party proceeded back to Halo Wars after I left and now they are currently playing Halo 3. What a day for the site's community. . Meet Your Maker Play Date My feeling that the Meet Your Maker Play Date could be happening soon has died. That doesn't mean it's not happening however. Keep checking for a time and date here. We're always looking for your Play Date ideas, please post them in here. Everyone who participates in any Community Play Dates gets the Gamer Award: Attend Play Dates, rack up awards! That was pretty much everything that's gone on in the past week. Now scroll back up and read it all over again. This post has been promoted to an article

Participants: D-38 Boss, Jl1223 X, JC13999 Shifting Gears Game Night We're going to have a Gears of War Play Date hosted by RedStarRocket91. It's going to be a heck of a night.

  8. Hey guys thanks for clicking the link to the Weekly Site Wrapup there's a lot of news to go around so get a good read of it all and enjoy: Primary Announcement: We've got some more site stats as of April 5th: 1131 registered users have joined the site in the last month. 5949 posts have been made. We have seen a decrease since last month but I think it's mainly due to spambots and their absence now. Also, HI CHURCH.

CUSTOM GAMES NIGHT Spades N AZ's Custom Games Night Spades is taking a break from Custom Games Night but is going to return. Here are some words from Spades N AZ on the matter: If you want information on Custom Games Night click the title of the section. DESTINY Lots of big news radiating from Destiny with GDC this week. Adamj004 of the News Group was on top of his game as usual and brought us pictures of the three playable races in Destiny presented at the Bungie GDC Panel. Find them here. Adam has also brought us some one of a kind pictures taken from the Character Development video that he has screenshotted himself. Not all of the pictures were taken by Adam but just about every one of them are. Find them all here. Adam was not the only one to bring news however, not by a long shot. Azaxx also brought us some new concept art images presented at the panel from GDC. Find Azaxx's thread here. To add to all of this, highplainsdrifter, another Destiny enthusiast, brought us news of Destiny's rating and trademarks taken out by Bungie along with a very curious theory on what the unnamed race in Destiny can be (presumably far right). Find his thread here. Lastly, if you want to see the actual Character Development video itself then check it out here. Brought to us by Choot 'em! The latest Bungie Mailsack from April 5th has dropped, find it here. GameSpot did a great interview with Bungie's Christopher Barrett and Joseph Staten. Choot gives you it here. And if you want to see something REALLY interesting, take a look at a character concept Bungie was working with for Destiny that Choot brought to our attention . It's here.

Adamj004 of the News Group was on top of his game as usual and brought us pictures of the three playable races in Destiny presented at the Bungie GDC Panel. Find them here. Adam has also brought us some one of a kind pictures taken from the Character Development video that he has screenshotted himself. Not all of the pictures were taken by Adam but just about every one of them are. Find them all here. Adam was not the only one to bring news however, not by a long shot. Azaxx also brought us some new concept art images presented at the panel from GDC. Find Azaxx's thread here. To add to all of this, highplainsdrifter, another Destiny enthusiast, brought us news of Destiny's rating and trademarks taken out by Bungie along with a very curious theory on what the unnamed race in Destiny can be (presumably far right). Find his thread here. Lastly, if you want to see the actual Character Development video itself then check it out here. Brought to us by Choot 'em! The latest Bungie Mailsack from April 5th has dropped, find it here. GameSpot did a great interview with Bungie's Christopher Barrett and Joseph Staten. Choot gives you it here.

I found myself going with a pattern of competitive and aesthetic maps really. This week I felt like featuring a Dominion map so who else to talk to than Dominion Host for The Halo Forge Epidemic than AbleSir Thomas? I asked him for a map he made for Dominion and all he gave me was a link to this beauty. This video will give you a THFE feature of AbleSir Thomas's map, Corrosion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQqX7011yh8 GAMING NEWS Forge Island is coming out on April 11 for FREE. That's correct. It's free. And it's huge. It has 3 main "areas" if you will: The Large Flatland, The Mid-size Flatland, and The Small Flatland. There is a massive amount of space in the skybox of the map. The map's aesthetics will be similar to that of Ravine, so it will be green and rocky like a beautiful grotto in some parts and more like an island in others! Ducain23 gives you the scoop in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6deM_0q9M0 IGN gives gamplay footage of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OIu0DrMVVg Castle Map Pack This probably should've appeared in last week's Wrapup but didn't. The Castle Map Pack drops April 8th. Developed by our affililate, Certain Affinity, the map pack provides 3 large scale objective based maps. Yes people that's BTB Objective WOO! The 3 maps are called Daybreak, Outcast, and Perdition. Personally I like Perdition's name the best. Now, instead of giving you a description of each, I'm going to let you watch them in action with videos courtesy of IGN.

DESTINY For those of you who have not seen it already, adamj004, of our site's News Group, who leads in all news Destiny, has been featured as a source on Oakley Hi-Def of The Halo Forge Epidemic's latest video on his thoughts and theories on Destiny.

He really gives all there is to know about the site. FORGE 343 Industries Community Forum and The Halo Forge Epidemic bring you the Meet Your Maker 4v4 Infinity Slayer Forge Contest. The contest ended this morning at 12AM EST. Maps were reviewed as they came in which was great work by the judges. Here's your judging team: Alzarahn (Blueprint Forge Group) WARHOLIC (The Halo Council) Ducain23 SaItyKoalaBear Rezix333 OakleyHiDef (THFE) Psychoduck (THFE) Spades N AZ Absolute Dog Featured Map We all know and love Community Mod skummgummigubbe to be a good competitive Halo player, racer, and Forger. I want to show to you his map that he made for the Meet Your Maker Contest called Loading Dock. Here's what it looks like at both spawn points but with different colors: A great interior map made for competitive 4v4 play. Find skumm's post for his map with all screenshots here. NEW MODERATOR Well there's finally been a proper announcement thread posted for our newest Community Moderator RedStarRocket91! Not only was there a change in the Moderating Team, but there has also been a change in Moderating color. It went from this to this. Much easier on the eyes. Anyway, everyone MUST go congratulate RedStarRocket in his announcement thread here. NEW LEGENDARY MEMBER "In the pattern set by Spectral Jester about retired staff members who have given greatly to our community, Quantum has been added to the ranks of 'Legendary' members. Quantum joined us long ago simply searching for information about Halo. He had no XBL and just wanted to be part of the community of Halo and do what he could to help us be what we were, what we are. He, within days of joining, came forward and offered to create signatures for the site since EGYPTIANGHETTO had taken a leave of absence. He was working with simple art soft ware and doing a bang up job for us. He was liked by all who met him and soon became a well known and daily member of the site. He continued his membership and assistance for the community and soon rose to the Face Book page. I was a personal fan of his selfless desire to always help out, never wanting anything in return. He was a prime example of quality membership. His departure and reasons for it were an eye opener to some, a noted and growing feeling by others. I am happy to announce his inclusion into the ranks of Legendary members." All written in Absolute Dog's words himself. Why didn't I just provide a link? Because I couldn't say it better than Dog did and it would've dishonored this incredible member's rite of passage to the Legendary Member status. Congrats Quantum! If you want to congratulate him too then I will actually provide the link for you: CONGRATULATE HIM NOW. GAMING NEWS General Gaming News Wrap-up III was completed as a favor for Lil Dog. Find it here: Wrapup within a Wrapup PLAY DATES Reach Play Date The Community Reach Play Date takes place every second weekend of the month. This week's had an alright turn out, we had a 7 person party max which is better than the last Reach Play Date . We had a good time though we went into Forge and spawned things and killed each other in a Forge fight, and then we went into matchmaking skumm had to resort to some sort of outlandish cheating to beat us. Overall we had a good time even if it was pretty short.

He, within days of joining, came forward and offered to create signatures for the site since EGYPTIANGHETTO had taken a leave of absence. He was working with simple art soft ware and doing a bang up job for us. He was liked by all who met him and soon became a well known and daily member of the site. He continued his membership and assistance for the community and soon rose to the Face Book page. I was a personal fan of his selfless desire to always help out, never wanting anything in return. He was a prime example of quality membership.

  23. Hello all thanks for clicking this link to the Weekly Site Wrapup I am Drizzy_Dan if you didn't know. Let's get right into now: CUSTOM GAMES NIGHT Spades N AZ's Custom Games Night Alright so I found myself back in Lil Dog's party once again on Custom Games Night. We always play fun games in Lil Dog's lobby like Flood gametypes on cool maps. Skumm hosted a little bit and we played a fun game of Ro Sham Bo Jr. where our Spartans were modded to be smaller but our weapons were the same size and that got laughs out of everyone. We played Drag Race and Minotaur and we even did some regular Infinity Slayer which was nice. Participants: DoctorB77, Banehalo, skummgummigubbe, Lil Dog, Osama Bin Bungie, Church, GermanShepherdD, Spyro, and Diskreat Spades N AZ's friends list is full so to get onto his alternate account's friends list to participate in Custom Games Night click here. - All participants of Custom Games Night hosted by Spades N AZ receive his Golden Spade Award. DESTINY Legends of the gaming industry, Bungie, launched their ARG, or Alternate Reality Game, for their upcoming title: Destiny. The ARG requires fans to attend alphalupi.bungie.net where they input geomantic symbols that unlock encrypted pictures that started blurry. The pictures increase in clarity with the increase in people that frequent the site. Each picture unlocks poems that supposedly leave hints to the game Destiny by Bungie but who can say what they really refer to in the game? Find Adamj's thread on the Destiny ARG here. The conclusion of Bungie's ARG will end in a new ViDoc. Hopefully this won't actually end the ARG but will give hints to the next direction Bungie wants us to follow it. Here's Bungie's new ViDoc about Destiny called Pathways Out of Darkness DGL Week 4 has begun. Info on the DGL can be found at these links: Rules_and_Info Weekly_Match_ListMatch_Results/Leaderboard Gametype_and_Scoring_Info Participants: Crimson A71William, Ryboss96, Skys, Drizzy_Dan, asdf_wrex, Gazzy Mill Mill, Neurotic Kasper, Vinceee, Real Talk, Vaulting♥Frog, Kalaphite250, IKKSE2113 Majestic da monsterchief, Hater, GermanShepherdD, Oni, Sarge, SikSlik7, M4L1C1OU5, EpicEthan97, Lil Dog, Badass_Sniper, Choot 'em, Liam Simmons Sheeran, Forum Dinosaur Results from the past week: 2/10 - Choot 'em went up against da monsterchief and lost unfortunately 11 to 16 2/11 - GermanShepherdD once again crushed his competition and beat Lil Dog 20 - 4 2/13 - M4LIC1OUS overpowered Hater in their match and won 20 kills to 1 As of now no division leaders have been announced due to the lack of matches played. Eliminations from DGL caused by inactivity begin this week. FEATURED INTERVIEWS Absolute Dog - Our humble Site Moderator's story of his time between his hiatus and his position now. FORGE 343 Industries Community Forum and The Halo Forge Epidemic bring you the Meet Your Maker 4vs4 Infinity Slayer Forge Contest. I mentioned that the judges would be huge names in the Forge Community and so I actually got a list of the entire team and it is awesome. I asked Absolute Dog who some of the judges were and he told me: "The judges are Alzarahn (of Blueprint Forge Group), WARHOLIC(of The Halo Council), Ducain23, SaItyKoalaBear, Rezix333, OakleyHiDef(of THFE), Psychoduck(of THFE), Spades N AZ and myself. That is the entire team." Those really are HUGE names. Check out the badass trailer video and the rules here. Submission thread that you can post your maps in is here. Featured Map Here's a map that caught my eye in our Forge forums. The map is called Dusk and was Forged by a member named @Yama. His map is very aesthetically pleasing and aims to be ideal for 1v1s and 2v2s. I'd love to provide a screenshot of the map but for some reason I'm just not able to copy and paste a picture nor use the media BBCode for it. *cough Choot 'em help me cough cough* I immediately knew this would be a good map when I saw that THFE's Psychoduck posted the last comment really thanking Yama for the time and information he provided. Check out the map here please. GAMING NEWS Member of our 343i.org News Group, Lil Dog, has begun a wrap-up of his own. It's well done and shows you pictures from the topics discussed and he also includes his own blurbs on them. If you're interested in all that gaming news has to offer in a week click here. QUILT QUALIFYING PLAY DATE Halo 3 Play Date Much better turn out with the Halo 3 Play Date than last week's Reach Play Date. We started off with some matchmaking then went into some custom games. We played Slayer mostly but we also played some objectives like One Flag, Juggernaut, and Territories. There was a good amount of lag to no one's surprise but that wasn't going to make us quit a game that we all love. All in all it was a good time. If you weren't there you missed out. Here's who I saw: Absolute Dog, imakequilts, JXZAW, Red Death, EliteISnip3r, HaloGeek, Elite, skummgummigubbe, Bobo Magroto, DoctorB77, adamj004, and Lil Dog At the later lobby after 6PM EST: Total Mayh3m, SweatyBagels, Harbinger, HaloGeek, Absolute Dog, and imakequilts Everyone who participates in any Community Play Dates gets the Gamer Award: Attend Play Dates, rack up awards!

One person comes up with a Halo related riddle and then the rest of the participants have to solve that riddle and the one who gets the right answer wins the point. The rule is that each player gets one guess per post and waits for the riddler to respond to whether they were right or wrong before they can post again. The score to win has varied over the 4 rounds but this round players have to solve 10 riddles to get the prize: The Riddler Award Round 4 has just begun.

This week I was in the 20 and under lobby hosted by Lil Dog. We started with Ro Sham Bo (Lil Dog's favorite), then we played Rocketeer which was this awesome map where you're in like a giant ball with no gravity so everyone's jumping all over and you spawn in the air and everyone has rocket launchers. It's crazy. Moving on. This was different the when Spades hosts, there were shorter games and more slaying. Eventually I made it into Spades's lobby and we played Flood gametypes on very aesthetic maps and race maps.

He has always supported, promoted, and expressed intrigue and appreciation for Forge and Forgers alike. It's because of him that our Forge community is so populous. He's always active in the Forge forums and this week he posted some very helpful tutorials on how to make maps for gametypes such as Flood , GrifBall , and Extraction . Dog's also made a thread for people looking to get into Forge that have not yet because they didn't know where to start.

There's already a submission thread that you can post in here. GOODBYE Senior member, former Member of the Month, former Staff of the Art Department. These are just a few things that could define Quantum as a member on the site. Quantum was someone I looked up to on the site immediately because of how maturely he presented himself even though he was one of the youngest members on the site at the time. You can find his resignation thread and tell him to come back soon here. PLEASE, I urge everyone who is reading to take the time to read this: Quantum's 1000th post milestone, and a HUGE milestone at that. CLICK HERE. HELLO Some of you may know him, some of you may not know him but his name is Mr. Biggles. Mr. Biggles was a very influential and well behaved Staff member on the site, a model for how Staff should act in my opinion. But one day personal life got intertwined with forum life and anger was displaced onto some members leading to a ban for Mr. Biggles. But right now he has been allowed back to the community with a fresh start as Member. Former MoM with a post count that used to be over 4,000, Biggles gives his formal apology here. PLAY DATE Reach Play Date The Reach Play Date wasn't bad. It's too bad it wasn't as populated as I thought it'd be. We played fun customs like free for all slayer and infection and a really cool race map. Eventually we went into matchmaking and we destroyed our first team of opponents. Second game not so good . Here's who I saw there in my time: Absolute Dog, Bobo Magroto, HaloGeek, Frankenzer, highplainsdrifter, Onma 'Aerusee, Insignia, skummgummigubbe, and Vaulting♥Frog Everyone who participates in any Community Play Dates gets the Gamer Award: PODCAST The 343i.org Podcast just came out! The Podcast is run by LiQuidßioniX♠, SykoWolf, Sarge, and Minuette.
