I can dig it.

Welcome to the site SpiritCoyote. If you have any questions, ask me or the gentleman above me

I saw some great clips of gameplay there! To me this looks like the Shadowrun of the future! Shadowrun meets Halo with some Brink influences. And I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what else Bungie has in store for us. Thanks for the news adam!

Love Splinter Cell: Blacklist. I actually wish I still had Conviction just to play through it again. I'm kinda not really into Spies vs. Mercs but I get my joy out of redoing campaign and 4E missions going Assault style. Playing through on Professional wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be but it was just a thing to do. I prefer to play on normal because I can have fun doing different play styles and using different gadgets. Like CooliestRap said above though, technically posts require more than just a video. They require at least a blurb underneath summarizing or describing the video. I won't remove this thread but for future reference please try to put a few sentences in there for it to count as a legitimate post. Hope you don't take this the wrong way Oophilly I love your video playthroughs

Give me a week or two to acclimate to balancing school and work again and I should be back to hosting. Some big ideas in the works.

Yeah Zan! I'm really happy about this choice. Great work in the Forge Community and in the Halo Community in general Zandril. You're a great asset not only to Forge Café but to us as well. Keep up the good work

My honest answer: none of the above. My choice would be Preston J. Cole, creator of the Cole Protocol and amazing ship captain. Read "The Impossible Life and Very Possible Death of Preston J. Cole" in Halo: Evolutions (forget which volume) and you'll see why. Second would be Captain Jacob Keyes - inventor of the Keyes Loop making him a legend in ship control and leadership. (For clarity for whoever reads this, Jacob Keyes only reached the rank of captain and his daughter Miranda became a commander.) From the above however, I choose the Arbiter. A single Elite who was at the bottom of his social given a second chance is an automatic +1 on the leadership scale. He went from a naked Elite branded with the Mark of Shame to the most renowned Elite in the Covenant. This was chosen by the Prophets but it's not the only reason he's the best military mastermind shown in the OP. What I love about the Arbiter was that he created a massive Elite uprising during the Great Schism and teamed up with the UNSC to dismantle the Covenant and create alliances. This was, strategically, the best thing to do. He didn't want to be ruled by the Prophets because they were lying and were leading the Covenant to death so he chose a strong ally and although his forces are hurt strongly. He helped put an end to the long war and has time to build his army back up with the alliance he has with Humanity.

AWESOME GRYFFIN. Can't wait to see the first episode!

I wanted Pistola to win SO badly. I've been a huge Pistola fan since before he became huge in Halo 3. This was awesome to watch but I'm so disappointed by the outcome!!

The versions released later have extra content. Chapters worth actually. I haven't read them but I know that they're longer than the original copies. They have a specific name I forget what it is though. Something Edition PS. HI ZB!

Forerunners. Although I feel Forerunners shouldn't be enemies at all, they will absolutely be the greater threat just because they have the better technology and I think 343 will be focusing on them more - increasing enemy toughness, shields, size, AI, variety. We've been with the Covenant all the way and although I love them, they're story is pretty much done. The novels are shifting focus and the games are going in the same direction. So, Forerunners for sure.

Forum birthday that is.

Should be really cool I mean the name tells me that this could have something to do with the races of the world learning a lesson from the Forerunners maybe. "Mortal" points to the races because anything that can die is mortal and "Dictata" could translate to dictate or lesson from Latin. So I'm thinking a Human/Covenant lesson or Human leadership of the other races. If you have questions just feel free to ask me, I'll help you out.
