[Drizzy_Dan]

Hey guys I started this late so it's up late sorry about that but let's get into it:

 

Primary Announcement: Ledgend, Maestro, and I conquered everyone who crossed our paths in Reach yesterday. Even if they were innocent bystanders who happened to accidentally cross it, they were mowed down by our might.

 

 

 

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Art Week Showcase by The Dumb Marine

 

This is a special type of Community Event brought to you by The Dumb Marine. It was his idea to have an entire week dedicated to member-created artwork and contributions to the site. Please participate when it starts April 21st!

 

Last Warrior Standing

 

Sorry the image is so huge. It literally takes up all the blank space that you see and the text at the top and bottom is touching the edges of it. I didn't feel like resizing it because there's not much time seeing as this takes place THIS FRIDAY. RSVP NOW. Hosted by onsokumaru.

 

Ruby and Yang's Community Event

 

Nothing but positive feedback in the comments for Ruby and Yang's Slash Em and Smash Em Event! Thanks all who went and had a good time! Hopefully there'll be another in the future!

 

Something's Fishy...

 

Fishy and D-38 Boss are teaming up to bring you something very fishy on Halo Wars. Find the date and time by visiting the Event thread and RSVP.

HOT TOPIC

No Sprint for Halo 5, please 343

 

Easily the hottest topic of the week although surprisingly not by the author of the thread. This thread was started by Xbox Fan stating his opinions on why Sprint does not belong in Halo 5 but the real interesting conversation happened between ChristopherRyan and Twinreaper.
