DOC'S MINECRAFT

 

 

This has its own section because it is also not a Play Date just like Tuesday Night Tests below. This is an open server that DocSpartan has worked tirelessly with Azaxx, Zaguroth, Church, D-38 Boss, skummgummigubbe, DoctorB77, and ThomasScott02 (the good Doc's son). The address can be found in the image shown below and you can post in his thread here.

 

 

 

EVENTS

Tuesday Night Tests

 

Why is this separated from Play Dates? Because it's not a Play Date. You will not get the award for joining this, it is owned and operated by none other than AbleSir Thomas of The Halo Forge Epidemic. This is 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 click here.

 

 

FEATURED INTERVIEWS

 

Undead - Get to know Undead. Previous Staff Member and Member of the Month! Started his own tournaments back in the day!

 

New Interviews with Stars of the Community Double Feature next week on the Wrapup!

 

FORGE

 

Get A Clue Forge Contest

 

The Get A Clue Forge Contest is still going but is in its last leg as the date to get your Clue map in is May 1st. For the Submission thread and info on rules and prizes click here.

 

Featured Map

 

Like a Halo-made Hot Wheels Racetrack, Particle Loop, looks like a racer's birthday present. Above is a screenshot of the track with its loop and all of its glory. Find the thread and download link here.

 

 

HOT TOPIC

 

Hot Topic is a new section that I'll be throwing in every now and then for threads that I think either are very interesting or could use some more attention and help. This is the latter. Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to direct you to Mafia New New New Phoenix started by my buddy Jl1223 X.

 

If you know how to play Mafia then you'll know what I'm talking about here but for those who don't know, click here. Credit for the picture goes to our main man in the Art Department, Insignia.

 

 

PLAY DATES

Halo 4 Play Date

The Halo 4 Play Date was pretty bad. I am on a roll with hosting bad Play Dates. I was really hoping for a bigger turnout but this is how it happened. We did have some fun trying everyone's horrible maps though. There was also a second lobby after I left hosted by our CMod RedStarRocket.

 

Participants:

D-38 Boss, EliteISnip3r, Jl1223 X, Frankenzer, Lil Dog, Elite, Frogger24, PuRpLe MadNeSSx, RedStarRocket91 

 

Shifting Gears Game Night

We're going to have a Gears of War Play Date hosted by RedStarRocket91. Prizes include the exclusive Shifting Gears Award which has still yet to be released and possibly the one of a kind 343industries.org Shifting Gears Night Controller Skin. Unfortunately the event has been moved. Find the details here.

 

Meet Your Maker Play Date

I'm getting the feeling that the Meet Your Maker Play Date could be coming soon. If you want to keep monitoring to look out for a time and date check 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!

 

 

SURVIVOR: HALO STYLE

 

Survior: Halo Style Season 2 is getting a reboot. I decided to spare you guys this time from my loud capital letters because I think I've been stressing the reboot for some time now. Keep an eye on this section during every Wrapup to see what all the hype is surrounding the Season 2 Reboot of Survivor: Halo Style.

Awesome post update. In any case, that really awesome picture by Insignia you see up there?

It's just a little sneak peek for you guys for something coming preeeetty soon. It may be hidden beside stuff about Mafia...

 

But....

 

[SOLIDSNAKEee]

Dat Minecraft picture...

 

Anywho , nice job Dan on another great type up ^.^ .

[x DREAM 76 x]

Thanks for the Feature Drizzy! You guys are the best. I am so glad you all liked the track. It makes me want to keep forging.

[D-38 Boss]

That playdate.... Eh......

[Frankenzer]

The playdate was pretty cool

[SatanicBagels]

Another great wrap up Drizzy. Keep pumping out the great work  

[Guest Frogger24]

It wasnt that the playdate was bad it was just a lack of communication until it was too late.

[GryffinGuy007]

Could we start maybe, BF3 Gamenights aswell as the Shifting Gears?

I just feel that BF3 would be hilariously fun to play with a group of us. If not, a Mass Effect 3 Gamenight? You can come up with a creative name for these gamenights.

Thanks Drizzy.

The Shifting Gears Game Night actually hasn't happened yet and I'll be removing it from the Wrapup but as for Battlefield 3, Jl1223 X is working on making a Play Date for it he's just trying to see if people would actually go so watch out for his thread. I don't think it's up yet though Gryffin

Oh okay, well I'll chat to Jl1223 X about the BF3 Gamenight, see if I can be apart of all this.

Wanna take it to PM first? I'd rather not do it all alone.

The Shifting Gears game night is a unique playdate, we almost certainly won't be hosting them on a regular basis: we had to move the date as it looked like there was going to be a very low attendance, and one member in particular who'd done some incredible behind-the-scenes work wasn't going to be able to make it.

 

As for other things, we probably won't start regular game nights for other games - we are first and foremost a Halo forum after all - but there may well be the occasional week where we'll play something new.

 

And of course, if you have our community gamertag added, you can always just invite your fellow forum-goers to your own matches, no need to wait for approval from the mods!
