343iCF Weekly Site Wrapup 11/4/13

Drizzy_Dan · November 5, 2013

Ok so we skipped a week and now it's time for a late Wrapup:

Primary Announcement: I've made the first tags the prefixes for these threads as a little extra pizzazzzzzzz

There are ideas in the works so don't worry too much. We just want them to be as good as possible for you guys to enjoy and not have repeats of that time where it was just me, Boss, and JL playing Reach campaign talking about RP for 2 hours.

Bnus' Totally Boss Halo 3 Playdate

Member of the Month, Bnus, teams up with D-38 Boss, who has an almost perfect attendance record for Events, to bring you a night full of Halo 3 fun. Read the details including time and RSVPing by clicking the emblem above.

Halo 4's Birthday Playdate

New blood UNSC Spartan II collaborated with Beckoningzebra on this one to bring everyone to Halo 4 for its anniversary! Make it if you can, it's bound to be a good time!

Related: Populate Halo 4 Day

Here's a video by our good friend Brett supporting the idea of bringing players back to Halo 4 so this should be extra incentive to join UNSC Spartan II and BZ in their Event and have some good old fashion Halo 4 fun!

We still want your ideas so post them here.

FORGE

Forging The Future

The future of Machinima has arrived! Here is a huge project started by our Art Department's Gryffin in association with THFE and ourselves. He's got a lot of members voice acting for him and we're backing this Machinima 100%. It's about 5 Spartans that get sent to Earth to find Monitors that landed there after Requiem exploded. There is lots of work being put into this project by many members of the site and we should see S1E1 here at some point!

343 Industries Community Forge Project

By this point you should know what the CFP is and if you don't then read about it here.

Post some ideas for our community in the CFP Idea Discussion thread here.

You will partake in the Community Forge Project...

Sand/Snow in Halo 4 Forge

Talented Forger RegrettedKarma came across some awesome content by the OnlineKnights that shows you how you can make it look like there's snow of sand on your map in Halo 4's Forge. Very interesting stuff and just another example of how limitless Halo 4's Forge is. Check out his post and the video by the OnlineKnights by clicking the image. Isn't that a nice image of Forged snow?

Featured Map

Nuclear Bombs in Halo 4

Here's a really unique idea for a map. It's based on a timer and after that timer is up a big flash appears on screen and everyone dies.. Which explains the name. It's really fun and has potential for a lot of mini games. This map was made by the member JooJoona and is better explained by him in his map submission thread.
