Map Download Game Type Download Description Game Style: "Tournament" Objective: Jump on the Blocks, WHEN THEY SPAWN, as the hill progresses to the middle. (Don't Fall Off the Blocks) Supplies: (What you are issued) Scatter Shot (Infinite Ammo) 1 Pulse Grade Can't hurt anything or anyone. 1 life game. System: When you spawn you'll notice that; The pillar in front of you is the same color as the one you're standing on. There is a land mine on this pillar. (Don't jump on the land mine or you'll die.) A block will spawn on this set Pillar 3 sec before hill A moves to B. The next Block spawns in 3 sec before hill C moves to D. The next Block spawns in 3 sec before the hill F moves to H. Consequences: 1. Not jumping right when a block spawns. You will not be able to reach the next block as the hill moves right behind it. You will fall onto the grid and get launched to the sky 2. Being Away From Controller Getting teleported to Grid thus getting launched to the Heavens. Be on the edge of your seat and look for that next block to spawn. If you do that and jump right when it spawns, you should be fine.

Map Name: Blaze Cave <--Download here Game Type: Blaze Cave <-- Download here Game Size True fully fun with: 2-16 players. This map is pretty simple you have a kill ball and you have people and concussion rifles and you can't move. This seems simple but the funny thing is its to much fun after every 20 seconds another kill ball will appear in the arena. The trick is the only way to kill your opponents is with the Kill balls. So good luck. O and there's land mines and grave lifts around the arena to keep the kill balls moving. i came up with this concept in a day and made it in two, it is to perfection and is acceptable for any size lobby. If it is with 2 player or 16 i had just as much fun as with both so please consider it.

Map Download Game-Type Download "EVERY THING IS SO GREEN" Freedom Cobra 1 "BEST HALO 4 MINI-GAME" Halo Customs Mini-Game Competition Have you ever missed being able to toss Vehicles around diligently, like Armor Walkers Back in Reach, well now you can with this new creative mini game made by Charles Stoot. Description For those of you who don't know the Concept of Armor walkers or forgot here is a recap. One team tries to toss around the other team with the use of a armor ability, in this case it is the Re-gen shields, and you try and prevent the other team from gaining points in the hill. Back in halo reach you have every Vehicle that could spawn on the map, but here you only have a mongoose and a warthog. The wort hog drives slower than the mongoose does and it is harder to tip while the mongoose drives faster but is easier to tip. Specifications of Teams 1. If you spawn with the load-out facing the track. Objective: Trying to get as many points as you can by driving the vehicles down the track and scoring. Notes: If you get flipped out there is a small box at the beginning of the track where you can jump and get back to the vehicles.Chose your vehicles wisely and work together as a team to time it so that every one get though. 2. If you spawn with the "Green Lantern" Symbol as a load-out screen you are the Green lanterns. Objective: To try and knock as many vehicles of the track as you can. 1. Energy sword: If you have the skill you can send a mongoose spinning. 2. Needler: You can attempt to slow down the mongooses and if you get lucky send them off the track. 3. Re-gen Shield: This is the most effective way to toss the vehicles around the track, since the name of the Mini game is Green Lantern. Images Note: This is the Box that you can jump into on the Vehicles team to get back to the Vehicles. Images

Ok, so I'll make this short and sweet. To produce Halo 4's music, it must be very cinematic and epic feeling. To produce Halo 3's music, it must sound Jungley, and you must always use a rimshot for the snare every time! But in all seriousness, Which do you prefer? For me, Its halo 3.

Hey that moment where I have 343 games played in slayer matchmaking, I found it funny and so I was told to post it to you guys, in search for an awesome medal or something. Just kidding I have 10k of those was actually

zzSOzz: "This is a really fun track." Zandril S312: "I like the bit with the rump stamps."* bryn514 Revived: "Alex, that is a great track." Hey guys I'm back with a brand new track and this one is called Collidact (coll-ide-act). As you may have guessed by the name of the track this is a collision circuit that features many, um, collisions. This track has three main collision parts to it. 1. The hell dive. At the beginning of the lap you jump down into this tunnel and later on in the lap you drive back up it. Any collision that happens here is not usually a small one. 2. The turnaround. In this section you weave in and out of the block in the middle, go around the circular ramps at the end, then you weave back in and out of the block and re-join the main track. Simple enough, but with lots of people it gets real hectic. 3. The jump crossover. Simple enough, two bits of track cross with a jump. A collision here usually results in a death.

Maybe I missed an announcement or something, making me ignorant to the answer of my question, but why can't I view the Spartan Ops episodes? I hadn't played the game in a while, and I thought I'd watch the amazing cutscenes and story again, but it won't play when I select an episode to watch. Is this a bug or something that can be fixed? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

A couple of weeks ago I made a remake of a old Halo 3 Commercial in gmod. The commercial was called: "Believe" I'll show you mine first, then the original... Mine: Here's the original from 2007: I tried to be as true to the original as possible, but with Garry's mod some things must be altered. I made this because I thought it would go good with the mercenaries of tf2 vs. the robots, compared to humanity fighting the covenant. The parallel is made when you see the TF2 characters fighting for their very lives against a seemingly endless foe, the same way we fought the covenant...

Hey guys! I'm here to tell you about a new Halo: Reach clan called The Darkened Eclipse and they are looking to recruit new members. If you are interested visit TDEGaming.weebly.com to learn more or register. And jut to clear things up for some of you questioning why I am posting this, I am not in this clan, I'm just helping out a friend who kindly asked me to do this. Not gonna turn em down. Anyways, see ya later!

So I re-bought Halo Reach and got it a few days ago. After playing with my siblings, the next day I went to do a challenge. But for some reason, Carter appeared, as if I started playing for the first time, saying asking if I was a boy or girl. I thought it was strange, it did this before so I was not tooo worried. After I chose female, my armor was default and brown...I panicked so I checked the campaign, and most of my levels were gone! As if my memory was erased!!!!!!!! I thought maybe it was a glitch, I've had a glitchy history with Reach. Also, the internet was turned off, so I thought maybe it was having trouble getting my data. I played through a few missions to see if my game would correct the error. I even cleaned the Xbox and hardrive, I thought maybe it was the system and not the game since I JUST GOT IT. I experimented with my siblings profiles, they too lost missions-- but their armor was not messed with. My Armor is not gone, I just had to select it again, I still have my rank and other things like my photos and achievements for some reason... And later when I played with them, my stuff was still there, my armor was the way I left it. And the game played fine, it always does. So I tried it this morning, with the wifi on, and ALL THE LEVELS WERE GONE, and my armor was set to default again!!!!!!!!! So I check to see if my data was on the hardrive, and it seems like everything is there, even saw the Definite Map Pack there, and my map. I think it's the game-- but I don't know why, I just F*%$@ got the game!! It looks fine, I got it from Amazon, and the box it came with had plenty of plastic filled with air, to hold it. The game did not seem carelessly handled, I never had problems with Amazon. I don't want to report to them yet, I want to try to solve the problem first, I am like the most independent person you'll ever meet. There are other games we have that work fine, and they have more scratches then Reach from what I can see. Please help me, I know you guys don't always answer my stuff, BUT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ~Sniper0092

I haven't made a thread in a long time, so I though I'd start one up. ^.^ My question is: What medals have you been proud of getting in the Halo 4 Multiplayer? This question is different for everybody since a lot of players are at different levels so that's why I think this question is interesting. I'm level 60 (I think) and I got a Slice 'n Dice in Grifball a few weeks back, which is crazy to get. I was playing with a friend and I though it was funny that I managed to get it.

So, Halo 5 is slated to be released holiday 2014 (around Thanksgiving/Christmas of next year) and I thought a great way to get excited about the release of Halo 5 was to look at the history of Halo, from the beginning to now (chronologically). So let's begin. Halo: Combat Evolved This is the game that started it all. Inspired by Marathon, ONI, and a few other games, when it was first thought of by Bungie Studios and Take Two Interactive, it was originally intended to be a game for the Mac. It was even announced as such in 1999 by Steve Jobs. Little did Bungie, Apple, or Take Two know at the time Microsoft was actually scheming how to turn the "two horse" (Sony and Nintendo) console race into a three way free-for-all. Halo, at the time code-named "Monkey Nuts" (which was later changed to "Blam!" because Jason Jones couldn't say Monkey Nuts in front of his mother) was one of the games that Microsoft wanted for "The X-Box Project", which was a console designed to compete with the Nintendo Gamecube and the Playstation 2. To make sure the console was a success Microsoft wanted to get as many top-notch games as possible for the launch of their console. In June of 2000, Bungie accepted Microsoft's offer to buy both them and the game. Take Two Interactive didn't want to work for Microsoft and thus left project "Blam!" and took the rights to Myth and Oni with them. The stage was set for Halo to finally come to life. There was some discussion as to whether Halo should be third person or first person, but with better technology in play Bungie decided that the game played more "fluid" in first person. Not to mention the added bonus of being inside Master Chief's head made players more sympathetic to the character. The two weapon system was integrated, and the Cortana letters had been received with joy from fans. Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nyland released October 30, 2001, paving the way for Halo Canon and going more in depth on the story of the "Halo Universe". Both the X-Box and Halo: Combat Evolved hit the shelves November 15, 2001. Halo CE was an instant hit. Raving reviews and gold stars all around, it sold a million copies in five months and is credited for 50% of all X-Box sales. Five months after the game was released (right on the millionth game mark), Microsoft authorized a second Halo. The success of Halo: Combat Evolved also led Bungie to further pursue "viral marketing" as well as more books similar to the Fall of Reach. Halo 2 Halo 2 was, once again, authorized by Microsoft just as Halo CE hit 1 million copies sold. Halo 2 was going to be the game to play on X-Box Live, which was the "online multiplayer" element that we today take for granted. With this in mind, Bungie realized that a good deal of the weapons in the game were unbalanced for online multiplayer. So, Bungie started off trying to balance the weapons while adding on to the story that they had started with Halo CE. With Halo 2, they decided to go with distancing the player from the characters by switching the player from Master Chief to a newly introduced character that we all know as "The Arbiter". They also introduced a bunch of new features (new to Halo, that is) like boarding and duel-wielding. Bungie created a 9 minute demo that debuted at E3 2003 (or E3'03, if you'll recall). This demo showed off a good chunk of the new features and enemies (drones and brutes) and got fans excited for the new game to come. However, Bungie was about to hit a very big snag. The engine that Bungie had built the E3 demo on (and so far the game) was not compatible with the X-Box hardware. Bungie had to basically start over with only a year until the deadline that Microsoft had set for them. Bungie pushed for as many extensions as possible, and cranked up the viral marketing with ilovebees.com, but Microsoft was pretty stern. So, Bungie had to release Halo 2 not quite as they had imagined it November 2004 with a cliffhanger ending due to the crunch. That being said, however, the game sold. A lot. And was praised, despite it's flaws (which some say made it even more fun) as one of the most competitive and best online experiences that you could get out of a console game. It also left canon lovers wanting more, which brings us to the next part of Halo history. Halo 3 In 2006, Microsoft and Bungie announced Halo 3. Bungie had started on Halo 3 following the process that they had set with Halo 2, and they did not take much of a break between games. Bungie had a bad taste in their mouth with the way that they had to end Halo 2, so they took everything that they weren't able to put into Halo 2 and put it into Halo 3. They also took Halo 2's multiplayer and did everything they could to improve it, including adding in a much desired Forge Mode as well as more weapons and the addition of equipment. Halo 3 went over more smoothly than Halo 2 and broke all of the records that Halo 2 had previously set. It was released September 25, 2007, two years after the release of the X-Box 360. Shortly after the release of Halo 3, a few Bungie employees set out to see about getting a Halo movie made, and then not long after that (which apparently didn't go over so well since we don't have a Halo movie [except for FUD which doesn't really count imo]) Bungie announced their decision to leave Microsoft. The decision by Bungie to leave Microsoft caused a bit of a spat between Bungie and Microsoft officials, but after everything Bungie agreed to do two more Halo titles before going off on their own. Halo Wars Halo Wars was released February 26, 2009 (March 3 for North America) and was the first Halo game made entirely out of Bungie's control. Microsoft owned Ensemble Studios, who specialized in RTS games, and picked them to create the Halo title for 2009. After Ensemble created Halo Wars, it came up with an idea for a Halo MMO, code-named project Titan. However, Microsoft said no, and Ensemble was shut down. One month before the release of their game. On a brighter note, Halo Wars received good reviews and to date is one of the top selling RTS games for consoles. Halo 3: ODST Halo 3: ODST was the first of the two Halo titles that Bungie Studios promised to make before leaving Microsoft. Originally title Halo 3: Recon, it was released September 22, 2009. It took a grand total of 14 months to make, from start to finish. Bungie spared no expense in the casting for the game, however critics maintain that the game felt more like an expansion than a full Halo game. Halo 3: ODST introduced firefight mode, which was a fan-favorite all around. It also came with all of the DLC multiplayer maps for Halo 3 AND Halo Reach beta access (for newer copies). This put a lot of cries to rest about Halo 3: ODST costing $60. Halo Reach Halo Reach. The last Halo game created by Bungie, and the end of an era. This time around, it was all about the game for Bungie. They seemed to ignore the canon that they had created throughout the years (and I know this is a controversial thing but it is documented that they did override previously set canon, therefor breaching it) to create a very fun and gripping experience. Halo Reach released September 14, 2010 and broke tons of sales records. It came with a ton of critical acclaim and had some fans in an uproar (over the little things mainly, everyone must complain about something). It also set the stage for 343 Industries to take over the reigns, which happened on March 31, 2012. But I get ahead of myself. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary November 15, 2011 343 Industries released the tenth anniversary edition of Halo: Combat Evolved. This was their first big trail in taking on the Halo series, and by all accounts they passed it. 343 Industries took Halo CE and gave it a HD face-lift and added as much as they could into it (such as skulls, new control schemes, and achievements) without changing the game entirely. It gave the fans who started from the very beginning (and those who joined in a little later on) some much appreciated nostalgia. The game included a disc that gave players access to the Halo Reach "Anniversary" Map Pack, which included some good ol' fashioned maps and gametypes to complete the nostalgia. Less than a year later, 343 Industries took the reigns of Halo and brought us to where we are now. Halo 4 Halo 4 was a game that a lot of fans doubted would ever come after the release of Halo 3. There was a lot of speculation about it when Bungie announced that they would be letting go of Halo, including that Master Chief would never come back from being stranded in space. Then, June 6, 2011 Halo 4 was announced. As it turns out, development began in 2009 and was kept pretty hush hush. Which in this day and age is hard to do. Halo 4 took around three years to complete. When it was announced there was WILD speculation on what the game would be about. There were rumors running rampant about what the enemies would be, hoaxes on leaked documents, actual leaked documents, and even a stolen copy of the game after it was completed resulting in a bunch of bans from X-Box Live. This was definitely one of the most anticipated Halo titles ever released. When it was released, it was met with critical acclaim and grossed $220 million dollars on it's first day and had over 1 million active players in the first 24 hours of it's release. Halo 4 introduced more weapons, more multiplayer modes, and the new storyline for Master Chief. So there we are. The Halo history. The thing about history, though, is that there's always more of it. There is going to be a Halo 5 and 6, and possibly more after that. We will have to see what is to come. Anyways, this has taken me literally all day to research and write and it is now almost 3 in the morning, so I am going to sleep now. Hope you enjoy it.

As you may or may not have heard, I announced a minigame playdate a little while back called Maestro's Merry Minigames, or MMM for short. The Dumb Marine announced a playdate also, a couple weeks before I announced MMM. And just recently, Edward Kenway/Omega stated that he too had a playdate in the works. Since fate has decided that MMM, the Dumb Marine's Holiday Playdate, and Edward's playdate would fall upon the same day, Bnus suggested that we merge the first two playdates. After a long conference filled with much deliberating, negotiating, discussions, and the signing of treaties, we have come up with... WE MERGED 'EM INTO MMEMMM! So now we have one massive playdate in store for everyone! The Dumb Marine will be kicking off the playdate with every gametype under the sun in Halo 4, I'll keep the fun rolling with minigames from throughout cyberspace, and Edward will wrap things up with some Halo Reach, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Halo Wars! Here are the important details: TIME AND DATE: 9am-9pm PST, December 21st GAMES: Halo 4 for the Dumb Marine's Kickoff and Maestro's Minigames, Reach + GTAV + Halo Wars for Edward's Wrap Party DLC: Forge Island (it's a freebie if you haven't got it already!) MIC: Preferred but not required Holiday Spirit MANDATORY Here's what will be on tap for this massive playdate: The Dumb Marine's Kickoff: Dominion, Team Slayer, Infection (Reach Variant), Community, Oddball, Extraction, Capture The Flag, Basic Flood (Halo 4 Variant), Regicide, FFA, and King of The Hill Maestro's Minigames: Mini Slayer at Portal Tower, Hockey at Kappital Imperial Stadium, Convoy King and/or Flood at Holy Gamelon Route 666, Convoy King at Koridai, Race at Holy Gamelon Indy 666 and Longbow 500 [CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS] ...among other minigames! If you have any other minigames to add to the roster, speak up! Edward's Wrap Party: Infection & Hunger Games on Halo Reach, Grand Theft Auto V, and Halo Wars So get suited up in your snow gear, prepare for fun and games and jokes and laughter and good times, and let's get this sled rollin'!

Hello everyone! I'm The Dumb Marine as always, And I'm here to deliver some news! Okay, So earlier on Halo 4, I was talking to a friend of mine who brought up a smal glitch with Halo 4. Which reveals unseen weapon skins, One for the Battle Rifle, The other for our beloved DMR. Now, The Battle Rifle skin is called BLAST or BLS while the DMR skin is called Concrete or CTE. I have in-game pictures to show you as well! (This glitch is not illegal in any way, But I shall not exploit how to do this glitch at this given time.) Battle Rifle BLAST (BLS) DMR Concrete (CTE) So those are the skins, And now what they would look like in the menu. (The pictures below are a mod made by ddeZ droL. Mods should not be used as they are against the Xbox LIVE Terms and Conditions and Code of Conduct, Doing so can get you temporarily or permantly suspended from the service) What could this mean? Is 343i gonna release new Halo 4 DLC? What do you think? Post below!! Works Cited: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=515611

MMM? No, I'm not talking about food or drinks, although this is the time of year the best goodies are made. It's the result of a nice bit of alliteration in this event's title... Since there's a lack of playdates focusing purely on mini games, I thought that I'd host one in time for Christmas or Kwanzaa or Hanukkah or Ramadan or Boxing Day or whichever holiday you celebrate if there are any I didn't list. So for the next little while, I'll be forging up a storm to make more mini games that I personally will contribute to the roster. If there are any other mini games that attendants have made or have found in the vast expanse of cyberspace, feel free to list them below! EDIT: Whoops, how could I forget? This is being hosted on HALO 4. If you have that, a microphone, and Forge Island, you'll be all set for fun and games and laughter! Here's what's on tap right now: Mini Slayer at Portal Tower Hockey at Kappital Imperial Stadium Convoy King and/or Flood at Holy Gamelon Route 666 Convoy King at Koridai Race at Holy Gamelon Indy 666 [CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS] ...among other minigames! Now you might be asking: "Hey Maestro, when are you hosting this?" And to that I answer: "Vote for either 1pm on December 14th, or either 1pm or 7pm on December 21st!" Keep in mind that these times are PACIFIC TIME [uTC-8]. Let's celebrate the holidays with a bang! And fun! And games!

343, what are you doing to assist in server lag or game functions (AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE)? my NAT is open, and when it says "Moderate" i simply dont play until ive corrected MY connection for live. You arer all a joke of hosts. I have no such issues on any other halo matchmaking but H4 and it seems over the years you've completely blown off the community asking for you to address these issues on YOUR SERVERS. I seriously just played a game with such bad lag that i attacked multiple people with the sword in a 4v4 game AND NONE OF THEM TOOK DAMAGE OR EVEN DIED; but dont worry, they killed me just fkn fine. WTF? this is not the only instance, yesterday i watched the roster for the match i was in but was unable to spawn in the match YOUR roster said i was in?! no really i enjoy this unreliability. Ive gone thru spurts playiing H4, taking breaks because i was disgusted by the crap you fail to address in game connections during mm. Screen out poor connections, optimize servers, add servers, idfc what you do but this is serious messed up for those who TRY to get in H4 online gameplay and cant sustain a decent game because kills dont register, attacks deal no damage, or (on the rare occasion they do register) i die regardless bc the opponant has had enough time to figure out theyre temporarily immune to ALL weapons/damage and they can unload what they wish and still kill me in a chance they shouldnt have had. Flood? HA! i cant even tell you how many times i cant select my loadout, or when i do, you choose to give me one i specifically didnt select. You reset my points (im honestly SHOCKED you didnt reset my rank too), and everything ive earned up to mastery fo building armor or loadouts, and yet you cannot address connectivity for the live community? What exactly are you doing at 343???? Making new pretty armor and maps (that i cant use as i want because you screw up 90% of the games i attempt to play)? Really, id love to know how you address ANY complaints (if you even do) and what your priority is for fixing online gameplay. Really, give the game back to bungie and go home. Stop trying to improve what youve made worse and refuse to correct out of sheer inconsiderate laziness. I assume im not alone in these complaints, but not that that matters, 343, you'll still fail to correct anything you couldnt do so properly in the first place.

Looking to join a clan in Halo 4.

Hey guys and gals! This is The Dumb Marine, I sincerely apologize for my recent absense, But I will tell you that Weiss will NO LONGER be on my account! Mainly because she seems to annoy everyone, As well as want to slap things. So yes! Take a moment to take that in... ........ Okay! Lets cut to the chase here, Not that we are chasing anyone. So, I wanted to host a playdate, Like I said a while ago. I did host one with Onsokumaru but there really wasn't as much of a crowd as we wished. So I want to try again, With a well planned time. And just in time for.. THE HOLIDAYS!! WOO!!!! But that aside, We need a logo as always... So here it is!! Okay, So there is not a time planned yet, Or a date which is why... I'm letting you! Yes, The community take a vote. You will also vote for gametypes as well, And from most to least will be the order. So if you made your votes, Thank you! And also say bye to Weiss! Because she ain't coming back to this account. -The Dumb Marine Before I forget again! Every one of my playdate posts needs an official theme!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1pm6MCagi4
