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: Twam the Administator of the lovely site you frequent (this one) has finished installing the new hard drive and is using the off hours to transfer all the data so if you're noticing some bug fixes, less spambots posting racey images in threads under names in foreign languages, and 343iBot not welcoming 57 new people at one time, then this could be why. Check it out along with his addition of a 'Best Answer' here.

Spades N AZ's Custom Games Night

 

Spades has recently decided to take his first break from doing Custom Games Night in three years but he will be back. Here are words from Spades N AZ himself:

 

Yes guys sadly enough I am taking a few weeks off of CGN. It's the first break in the 3 years that I have hosted it. But it will be back! My first lobby will be underground and only solid supporters will get an invite. After that they will continue being posted on Halocustoms each week with SolidSnakee doing the recaps. I look forward to shooting you all in the face again soon.

Featured Map

 

What is there to say about this map that you can't already conclude on your own from the pictures? This is a map made by @Creative Gaming Inc. from HaloCustoms and is actually a 1:4 scale model of Saint Mark's Square in Venice. This is called Venice in Miniature. Find the map thread here.

GAMING NEWS

 

Forge Island is out! 343i has given us the Forge Island that was originally supposed to come out on April 11th, after the Castle Map Pack, about 2 weeks early. Just yesterday it became available for download for free on the Xbox Live Marketplace so get on it! In this update for Forge you have more natural structures to Forge like larger rocks and TREES and you can Forge in the water partially (about hip's height on your Spartan).  Seriously stop reading this and go get it already. But then come back to read this of course.

Halo Wars Play Date

The Halo Wars Play Date hosted by DocSpartanO07 was awesome. I had to get off early after our second game because I have Saturday class like a jerk face... But I wanna get back on today! Hopefully more people join throughout the day, Halo Wars is one of those games that you can play all day believe it or not you just gotta realy love it. The first game was me and Doc with the AI against Frankenzer, Thomas and Dino and we won and the second game was another Staff vs Members game where Lil Dog joined and we won yet again. Good game members, maybe next time!

 

Participants:

DocSpartanO07, ThomasScott02, Frankenzer, Forum Dinosaur, Real TalkHarbinger, and Lil Dog
