WSW 343iCF Weekly Site Wrapup 2/18/14

[Drizzy_Dan]

It's been another week full of fun here on the site so let's get into it:

 

Primary Announcement: Everyone say hello to Drizzy_Dance.. But don't get used to him.

 

 

COMMUNITY EVENTS

USF Inauguration Event

 

 Since our TWO Presidents have taken office, Spyro our head of the USF Elections, requested that there be a Presidential Event for the USF. So last night some of us went online and had that Event. We played like one competitive game and the rest was Flood where all I did was just stand around but the talks and stuff were fun. I was glad to be interacting with the community on a higher level than just typing here. 

 

Participants:

onsokumaru, Edward Kenway, Connor Kenway, Erebus, Beckoningzebra1, Bnus, Spyro, Sikslik7, Vitamin PWN, Hippie, and Myself

 

JX and Fiends (Halo 4 Playdate)

 

If you missed out on the USF Inauguration Event then here's another unofficial Community Event hosted by JXZAW and ShadowFiend216. Be sure to check this one out, they'll be playing any and all gametypes. Find out the time and date by clicking above and make sure to RSVP.

 

Moonlight Under Reach Valentine's Day Community Event

Here's what Co-Head of Promotions and Events, onsokumaru, had to say about the Event:

 

 

 

 

Well We did multiple Valentines day themed maps (Tunnel of Love, My Bloody Valentine, and Cupids Revenge) and we also did some Historical Battle maps (Red Tails) which was a one bomb WWII game and we finished off by playing a new infection series I made called "Project 415". This game types featured a series of maps which developed into the story and these maps featured major suspense as it consisted of Black-Out Darkness in each map...  From the feedback of the event many said they enjoyed it and it was a blast! (Including Red Star Rocket   ) and after each game people say they want to do it again or that was a fun map...

 

 

Thank you onsokumaru for being a good source!

 

Everyone who attends Community Events gets the Gamer Award:  But not for the USF Inauguration Event..

 

 

FEATURED INTERVIEWS

Spades N AZ - Host of the greatest Custom Game Nights to ever hit the Halo Community. Everyone wanted and still wants in on Spades' lobbies. An incredible person who honors two things: trust and respect.

 

*New interviews soon*

 

 

FORGE

Featured Map

 

This week's feature comes to us from our Member of the Month, Edward Kenway. Not only is it a fun looking free for all arena type map, but it comes with a fun looking free for all gametype! This is Pendulum and it's played with Sticky Slayer! Sticky Slayer is as shown above. Players have Sticky Detonators and Thruster Packs. This looks like it could be an explosive time at a Community Event!

 

 

GAMING NEWS

Bioshock Creator, Irrational Games, Closing Down

 

Yes what you read is true. Bioshock creators, Irrational Games, are shutting down and handing over Bioshock to 2K Games. News relayed by BZ, like and leave your thoughts.

 

Steve Downes Confirms Halo 2: Anniversary

 

It's exactly what the Halo Community has wished for but now that it's a very likely possibility, is it something we all want? Will it be what we all dreamed about or will it be overkill for the game that revolutionized competitive gameplay and practically kick started Xbox Live? Adam gives you the story and quote from the Master Chief himself, Steve Downes.

 

Titanfall Beta Open to Xbox One and PC Users

 

As I'm sure most of you know, the Titanfall Beta went public on Sunday, February 16th. I've heard extremely good things about this game but I don't have an Xbox One to play it on myself and I doubt my PC will be able to handle it lol. I believe it's still open and definitely not something you want to miss. Even if you're not sure about getting the game this could be your chance to solidify your decision on whether it's something you want or not. Edward Kenway brings you the news.

HOT TOPIC

 

It should come as no surprise that this week's Hot Topic is the best mystery fiction writing going on on the site right now. It's The Sniper of 343i.org by JL. I die, he dies, she might die, some more people are definitely gonna die. But I think we get saved! You'll have to read to find out! The story is still in progress but a prologue and 3 chapters are already up and well worth reading. JL has quite the skill in writing.

 

 

USF ELECTION

 

Now that our 2 Co-Presidents of the United States of the Forum have been announced, they've made their inaugural United States of the Forum Address. This new year is bringing on a lot of inaugural events! Click above to read each Forum Address. The green is Vitaguy's (Vitaguy ) and the darker red, brickish color is bequeathingstripedhorse1's. Good job guys !

 

 

That's it for this week. Thanks for reading and supporting, now scroll back up and read it all over again.

When I get my PVR for my Xbox, I am going to have to make a Halo video for The Sniper of 343i.org. I am going to definitely make it. A group of members who are hunting the sniper, The sniper, and the group of people that are neutral, Or don't see what is going on. With this playing of course.

Another great job as always Mr.Dance.

You really did a great "break down" of the wrapup

[BeckoningZebra1]

Awesome job on the wrapup D_D

 

We had a lot of fun at the USF Innaugural Event, and though I will not be able to attend Shadowfiend and JXZAW's event, I'd like to encourage other members to. I've played with both of them before, and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

 

P.S.

Drizzy_Dance must appear more frequently in the future.

Nice wrap up Danny :3 my friend Yoko approves too   oh btw sorry about my fail at not even realizing you were at the event until the last game 

[undr zid]

Great job as usual. Really interested in this Halo 2 and what will be the differences. Really just looking forward to a digitally enhanced version all around. Was definitely the more competitive title of the series, stripped down and basic. To see it polished a bit would be a treat.

Anyways, nice wrapup again. Good read. GJ Drizzy.

[Cooliest]

Really glad to see that Community Events Section so filled!! Upset that I somehow missed the Inaugural event. and sad that I had to work so late on Valentines day. :/ But none the less community events are always a blast so I'm just happy to see so many events being put together.

 

Great wrap up Drizzy.

 

P.S. Wish I had an xbox one to play that open TitanFall beta.

 

P.S.S. @The Dumb Marine thanks for that song. I've listened to it 3 times now while reading this wrap-up it pairs nicely.
