Halo 5 Forge Wishes

The Halo Council would like to know what YOU want in Forge for Halo 5. The Halo Council is a large forum in the Halo Community in case you haven't heard of them and they're always coming up with top news stories. For example check out the article below in the Gaming News Section for an article about upcoming weapon and armor skins that are to hit this Fall.

The Halo Council is backed and known by major powers in the Halo Community like Halo Waypoint and our affiliate, Certain Affinity.

WARHOLIC is a name that should be familiar to you all, he was a judge on the panel for the Meet Your Maker Forge Contest. Please check out this

poll created by WARHOLIC of The Halo Council on what you would like to see in Halo 5's Forge.

"Halo 5 is currently in production, what better way to let 343 know what we want other than to TELL them?" - WARHOLIC.

Featured Map

Here's one of the maps you played in the Dominion: The Day Away event called Figment and it's by AbandonedCashew. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we played on it. Find the map thread and download

GAMING NEWS

NEW HALO 4 ARMOR AND WEAPON SKINS ARE COMING. Read this full article complete with pictures by WARHOLIC of The Halo Council

If you've ventured to our News Page recently you would've seen that highplainsdrifter posted this beauty a couple of days ago. The Special and Collector's Editions of GTAV have been announced and they each have a lot of goodies! Check out his post article

Here's a pretty awesome piece. If you like fan written work then read this. This is by D-38 Boss and it's an alternate storyline for Halo 3: ODST. That in itself just sounds really interesting. Really good writing too. Check it out

Dominion The Day Away

Wow. What is there to say about this event. This has to be one of the biggest events in the site's history. So many people that we had 3 lobbies going, 2 of them over regulation size for Dominion. AbleSir Thomas was being flooded with messages like crazy and anyone who couldn't get into his lobby was messaging me and RedStar and it was just a crazy awesome time.

Rivalries were rekindled, such as the long living rivalry between Bob and GSD dating back to when this site was a baby.

Communities were brought together: there were many more people than just 343i.org members at this one.

And we had some great hosts. We could not thank you enough RedStarRocket91 and AbleSir Thomas.

And all in all everyone had fun. Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun. The maps were great too. You can find the list of the maps in the Dominion: The Day Away After Action Report by RedStarRocket

Participants:

AbleSir Thomas, RedStarRocket91, Drizzy_Dan, Bob, GermanShepherdD, skummgummigubbe, D-38 Boss, HaloGeek, BaconShelf, JL X4, Elite SnIp3r, Cakes1234, General Sarbina, Kurosaki Tensai, SOLIDSNAKEee, zealot617, SGC, Sparky, Namhel13, George S198, InConSpKuous, SweatyBagels, Banehalo, Frankenzer, Elite, T O IR T A, Xinshu, Sly the Prodigy, kinggame40, Zaguroth, Forum Dinosaur, Kevin Truong, Tucker, Texkiller321, DN2012, NoobPwner64, Wadliacha Ellis

There were about twice as many participants as this but these are the ones that were members here.

USF ELECTION

It's back! Spyro's United States of the Forum Election is back up and our candidates are being elected. Winner becomes the President of the Forum. Which means nothing but is awesome. The election process has closed

WELCOME BACK

It's always great to see an older member make a return to the forums. @Twinreaper has been a member here since 2011 and the guys who were around then are the real oldies and deserve the real respect. He's known for being our site's very first Member of the Month, his vast knowledge of everything that makes up Halo, and maxing out our swear censors. Twinreaper is someone everyone oughta get to know. Welcome him back

YOUTUBE

This video is by lordcrusnik1986. It's a video of in-game slow motion assassinations. The catch is that nothing was slowed down when they were recording or editing. You get to see the assassinations in all their glory in full slow-mo, except nothing was slowed down. I don't know how they did it but they did. Here's the video, leave it a like:
