Featured Map
This map caught me simply because of the amount of comments it received. We've become much bigger on Forge here on the site and when maps like this come up we show great interest. The map is called Station 7 and was made by @10 000 people.
Find the map submission by 10 000 here.
GAMING NEWS
Word around the community is that the Majestic Map Pack didn't only give you 3 amazing new maps, it also unlocked a code for players to input onto Waypoint worth 25,000 XP. Credit goes to Spectral Jester for finding this news. His topic containing the code is located here.
Also, 343 has released a File Share system on halowaypoint.com similar to the one Bungie used to have up. Azaxx covered that for us to read here.
If you love the Assassin's Creed franchise then click on Quantum's thread about the new one: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
