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: We've got some more site stats as of April 5th:
1131 registered users have joined the site in the last month.
5949 posts have been made. We have seen a decrease since last month but I think it's mainly due to spambots and their absence now.
Also, HI CHURCH.

Spades N AZ's Custom Games Night
Spades is taking a break from Custom Games Night but is going to return. Here are some words from Spades N AZ on the matter:
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.
If you want information on Custom Games Night click the title of the section.
Lots of big news radiating from Destiny with GDC this week. Adamj004 of the News Group was on top of his game as usual and brought us pictures of the three playable races in Destiny presented at the Bungie GDC Panel. Find them
here.Adam has also brought us some one of a kind pictures taken from the Character Development video that he has screenshotted himself. Not all of the pictures were taken by Adam but just about every one of them are. Find them all
here.
Adam was not the only one to bring news however, not by a long shot. Azaxx also brought us some new concept art images presented at the panel from GDC. Find Azaxx's thread
here.
To add to all of this, highplainsdrifter, another Destiny enthusiast, brought us news of Destiny's rating and trademarks taken out by Bungie along with a very curious theory on what the unnamed race in Destiny can be (presumably far right).
Find his thread
here.
Lastly, if you want to see the actual Character Development video itself then check it out here. Brought to us by Choot 'em!
The latest Bungie Mailsack from April 5th has dropped, find it
here.GameSpot did a great interview with Bungie's Christopher Barrett and Joseph Staten. Choot gives you it
here.And if you want to see something REALLY interesting, take a look at a character concept Bungie was working with for Destiny that Choot brought to our attention
. It's here.

Featured Map
This is a beauty of a race map. For those of you who remember Nuked IceCeam's PokeCoaster, here is the man credited with the aesthetics of it, @Lord FluffBall. This is his map Fluff Nest Monster, a map that goes along the body of the creature. Very cool.

Last week I mentioned the addition of a Flood map maker by the name of Pol Wah. Pol Wah is still new here and I don't think everyone has gotten fully accustomed to Pol Wah being in charge of Flood Submissions. For an example of his great work here's his map Voltage Control.
Find out how to submit your Flood maps to Pol Wah here:
