Silver Dollar Shotgun Bungie has released a video for a weapon that we'll be seeing in Destiny. They say this weapon "is an icon. In a place made strange by the passage of time, the Silver Dollar is as relatable as a lucky coin." Comment on Cooliest's thread! Destiny Codes Bungie is really showing off by giving these codes away FREE. Not only are they free however, they're also redeemable any time and are not first come first serve. It's a mystery as to what they unlock but it only helps to redeem them! Thread provided by Adam of the News Group!

COMMUNITY EVENTS Boss's Inaugural GTA V Event For his first Community Event as co-head of Promotions and Events, D-38 Boss started off with multiple bangs and explosions in a GTA V Event. According to Boss, the 343i Community killed some randoms, him and JL got into a personal kill fest with each other, and all in all it was a good time. Participants: GermanShepherdD, D-38 Boss, Magical Love, Torrenting, Edward Kenway, Bnus, and onsokumaru Boss's Real (good) Time Strategy Event And for his second Community Event, Boss hosted a crowd pleaser with a Halo Wars Community Event. Nothing but good feedback about the Event and Boss's hosting. The games were great, one even went for over two hours but Flappy Bird got in the way eventually leading to one team's demise. The attendees of this Event will get the exclusive Halo Wars Playdate Award: Participants: D-38 Boss, Yang Xiao Long, Ledgend1221, Vaulting Frog, UNSC Spartan II, Edward Kenway Everyone who attends Community Events gets the Gamer Award: FEATURED INTERVIEWS Gryffin - Art Department Staff and member of the well known YouTube group, the OnlineKnights.

GAMING NEWS 343 Partners With Gallery Books Now I don't know much about Gallery Books or what they've published or who they've published for before but I do know one thing: and that's that I love the Halo novels. They're expertly written and go beyond where the games can take you in the Halo Universe so the fact that 343 has made this deal with Gallery Books and plans to keep publishing Halo novels is nothing short of fantastic. News by BZ! French Retailer Confirms Titanfall Beta on Valentine's Day Not too long ago, it was made clear by a Micromania store in France, as seen above, that a Titanfall Beta could be coming our way.

MEMBER OF THE MONTH I told you you'd have your nice little minus green spot in the Wrapup this week Edward and here it is!

  9. Hello all thanks for clicking the Wrapup, let's get into it!: Primary Announcement: January 23rd was my 2 year joinday! Secondary Announcement Which is Not as Important as Primary: If you're missing any site Awards, RedStar has given you the chance to request them in our new Missing Awards Thread. COMMUNITY EVENTS All Day Ricochet January 25th marked the official start of Community Events for the bright new year. RedStar kicked it off with a fun filled Ricochet gametype lobby that continued for hours. Credit to our wondrous Site Moderator RedStarRocket for hosting the Event and we hope to see you guys at more. We're glad you guys had fun at this one. Shame I couldn't make it myself.. Drawn By Fate Community Event The absolutely stunning banner above is the winning submission by Total Mayh3m in the Drawn By Fate contest. Drawn By Fate asked members to submit any graphic artwork to the site to use for a banner on our YouTube Channel and Facebook page. Above is runner up banner creation by JL or Magical Love. It looks very cool and I'd love to see it as our YouTube banner maybe. And lastly, an honorable mention to Edward Kenway's banner which is just great looking. An awesome contender and I hope it gets used for something even if it didn't win. Click Mayhem's banner find other awesome submissions by other awesome members. Let The Games Begin 2v2 Inter-Community Tournament Whether you're registered here on 343iCF, HaloCustoms, or ForgeCafe you'll be able to participate in this awesome multi-forum tournament.

Winter Conclusion Forum Battle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_AcL9St8o It was another one of our whacky ninja Co-head of Promotions and Events' Ninja vs Forum battles and the comments only say good things! Judging from previous comments I think these are going to continue as they are always successful in entertaining. Everyone who attends Community Events gets the Gamer Award: If you have any Community Event ideas post them here. FEATURED INTERVIEWS Zelda - Quite possibly the nicest person on the forum. Welcoming of all unless you have an unruly attitude and was quite pleasant in our interview. *I've resumed interviews but am waiting on interviewees...* FORGE THFE Submission Forums Move to HaloCustoms It's official now, THFE has moved their map submission forums to our Affiliate site, HaloCustoms. 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. We're not saying goodbye to our THFE Affiliates for good, we love Psychoduck and Able SirThomas and their crew all the same. And we'll be working together again in the future. Featured Map: January Beer Pong Turbtastic is not new to being a Featured Mapmaper in the Wrapups. Known for his MarioKart 64 track remakes, he recently made this fun looking minigame called Beer Pong. The objective is to run your Mongoose through the shields and into the "cups" to eliminate them. First team to hit all the cups wins! Who doesn't like a good game of pong? Video provided by 0LAH.

HOT TOPIC: January Conspiracy Among our Staff- Part 2! Easily the hottest topic of January. In 2 days the thread got 80 replies from Staff and Members alike gaining it the HOT tag almost instantly. 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. His cartoons might be a little weird and I have no idea where he gets them from but don't be fooled, this guy is serious when it comes to his job of keeping you guys entertained with Community Events! Don't worry Edward you'll have your nice minus green section of the Wrapup all to yourself next week. Announcement thread. MoM Post. NEW STAFF New year, new fresh Staff.

Everyone on the list is chosen unbiasedly by our Site Mod RedStarRocket, Comms Staff Member Bnus, News Group Member Beckoningzebra1, Dedicated Member Zaguroth, and Legendary Member Total Mayh3m/Anakin Skywalker/Qui Gon Jin/Darth Mayh3m.

You give him your signature and him and Brony make them over in pink and BCAM them out! Get yours done right now. COMMUNITY EVENTS Finally I can display the new 343i.org Community Events banner. The magnificent display of fun and coolness came from our Art Department of course and I think it captures what we had in mind perfectly. This is the future of custom games at 343i.org. Join us this Saturday at 4PM EST for our Staff vs Members BCAM Community Event. We still want your ideas so post them here. DESTINY Destiny - The Moon The newest trailer from Bungie for Destiny and it's full of wonder and mystery! Bungie is really delivering lately as you'll see with all the Destiny news I'm about to relay. Let Choot know how much you love him by commenting on his thread! Silver Dollar Shotgun Bungie has released a video for a weapon that we'll be seeing in Destiny. They say this weapon "is an icon. In a place made strange by the passage of time, the Silver Dollar is as relatable as a lucky coin." Comment on Cooliest's thread! Destiny Codes Bungie is really showing off by giving these codes away FREE. Not only are they free however, they're also redeemable any time and are not first come first serve. It's a mystery as to what they unlock but it only helps to redeem them! Thread provided by Adam of the News Group! FEATURED INTERVIEWS Insane54 - Admin and co-founder of our Affiliate site, HaloCustoms.com. FORGE Forging The Future The future of Machinima has arrived!

Xbox One Friends App Walk Through Major Nelson gives you a video walkthrough of how the new Friends App for the Xbox One will operate. News provided by Adam. Comment on Adam's thread. ForgeBall: The "New" Gametype Although not actually new, it's gone widely overlooked since its release. This is a must see video brought by our Affiliate Certain Affinity. Comment on Cooliest's thread. TitanFall Presentation Well I feel like I've provided enough videos in the Wrapup thus far for you so to prevent laziness I'm going to make you go to Cooliest's thread and watch this video to better the chance that you leave a like or comment.
