I showed up in time to rage quit after being ignored by team mates with mics. By the time I went to go figure out the controls, it had ended. I will have to go spend some time on Halo 3 before next playdate so it can be more enjoyable.

You know guys I see a problem with the responses more than the original question. OutGunned not only took the time to state his personal opinion but took the time to list several supporting facts, which are opinion based, to back up his statement. Instead of the long term members taking the time to "discuss", they are stating their own opinions as though they have more knowledge with only one simple sentence. His post obviously took some time to prepare before making his opinion known. It doesn't matter that you might have a different opinion. But don't devalue your own opinion by stating with a definitive response, without taking your own time to back it up a little. This forum is based on the fact that anyone can share their opinion as long as it is not rude, attacking, vulgar etc. I read a lot of one line phrase responses, usually from the same antagonistic members, which have little to no thought behind it.
OutGunned I personally agree with several of your statements, although, I am not going to saying that 343 failed in any way. This is their first attempt at a game and it has a few flaws(ok maybe more than a few), but I support Halo and stand behind the makers with my support. Some of your points, like missing gametypes, are just a repeated story from other Halos. They slowly allow more gametypes as the game progresses. Some gametypes like speedpile were not released until Reach was almost done. So be patient and enjoy what you have for now.
Your opinion on armor abilities is shared by many although the younger generation thinks it has been a part of Halo from the beginning.
What you said about the forge is all 100% correct in my opinion. You can check my previous post and find that I too have listed these things also.
The custom game section has a lot of valid points also. During my Custom Game Nights I have to apologize in advance that the entire party may get crashed and to just rejoin if this happens. That's not right. A lack of options especially with flood is also a huge disappointment. But once again, give it time.
Microsoft rushed the release of this unfinished game and changes are being made. In the meantime, we need to all show our support and stand behind 343 for the future of Halo.

The people who try to understand will understand why there is no forge world. Thank you Squally and Ducain for helping others look past an empty wish. It's just not capable of being done. We have huge environments You can make a big team map on every map with creativity and skills. It's not the game but the forger in almost every complaint that I hear about the forging being done wrong.

You approach this with a good opinion and some valid points which I can respect. I personally have never needed to be ranked but I do like knowing that I am better than the majority. I know we all have our ideals and I also know that Halo 4 has not reached some of these personal preferences As for me personally, who likes customs and forge, Halo 4 has missed some crucial areas that the community misses and loved. This is not to say, however, that Halo is to the point of no return. Any true Halo fan will not forget that EVERY Halo to date has had to be updated and things have been fixed. Don't be so quick to give up on Halo after a few months. Instead, take a stand and make your voice known. We have the power. We are their source of revenue. Without us buying their game then they have to close shop. Help them by taking the time to give feedback and ultimately you help yourself.

EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!!!!!! 
You need to read a thread, the rules, and know what it is all about before posting. Please invest some time to read this again so that you sound informed when commenting. For those too lazy to scroll through all the following post here's a recap.
1. I DON'T TEST ON FRI NIGHTS! That is done every night for the week before. If you have a good map, then submit it to me by putting it on your file share and sending me a message ON XBOX requesting the map be added to the playlist for Custom Game Night. Please value my time enough to only submit a finished product. Also make sure that there are enough spawns for 16 people, whether or not, it is ideal to have 16 on it. I enjoy making the “unknowns” and “unpublished” people without channels or websites get attention so here’s your chance.
2. I DON"T SEND INVITES OUT! If someone would like to join then THEY can take a few seconds to send me an "INV" message on XBOX to Spades N AZ and I will get them in, hopefully if there's room, the following week. But do your part and be on and accept it when it’s sent. I invite the request first before opening the lobby at 6:00.
3. I DON'T ALLOW NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR! This is supposed to be fun. You don't have to like every map or every player, that's ridiculous to ask. But if you don't like a map then keep it to yourself and send me a private message to "end game". I will end any and all games if only 3 messages are sent. When someone starts complaining then the negativity spreads like cancer and spoils the fun for all. Also the forger might be present and positive criticism helps more than complaining.
4. WE ARE ALL EQUALS DURING CGN! If you come in, egotistical, and think that you are so well known that Halo is lucky to have you, then you’re wrong. Everyone, on custom game night will be treated as equals and respect will be shown accordingly. This being said, there are a lot of famous Halo people who join. They are already bombarded with friend request and fan mail and sometimes just want a night to relax. Please allow them to have fun too. If you happen to establish a friendship with them, and play a few times with them, THEN send them a friend request.
5. THERE IS NO RACISM! I do not allow any attacks on gender, sexual preferences, race, religion, age, skills, ETC. I also will not allow any terminology which would be used as such.
6. DO NOT BE MEAN! If you come in and attack any person in the lobby, young or old, male or female, etc. you will get a warning. I don't want to be a part of anyone getting bullied on XBOX.
7. DO NOT OVERPOWER THE MICS! I get it, your excited, having fun, and want to express it. That's perfectly OK. But, please don't be "that person" who talks just to hear themselves talk. People who ramble about nothing get annoying. Make conversation and establish new friendships but we don't need a play by play narrative of what we are perfectly capable of seeing for ourselves. Also please don't have background noise like t.v.'s, personal phone calls, music, etc.
8. DO NOT TROLL! If there are honor rules established then play by them. I will not allow an entire groups night to be ruined by one player’s lack of respect for rules.
9. DO NOT BE MIA or AFK! I will make times for breaks according to the request of the group. If you need a bathroom break, time to grab a drink, smoke a cig, or time for anything else that takes away from the game then let me know. If several are in agreement, then we will take a break. If not, then leave and request to get back in.
10. CHECK YOUR OWN TIME ZONE! CGN starts at 6:00 MST(Arizona no daylight savings). It has for years. Please don’t spam this thread asking me what time that is for you or send me PM’s. It’s pretty simple. Get on Google or your phone and compare the differences. I just don’t have time to compare New York, Australia, Germany, Harvest, Sweden, Indiana, etc. You get the point.
11. DO NOT ASK FOR PARTY LEAD! Look guys ultimately this is for you. I have been to too many lobby’s where that guy has ruined the night with the statement “I have just one more, you guys will love it”. You laugh because you have all heard it. Then the established lobby all quits and the good times end.
12. BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING! I take the time to document everything from who joins to what maps are enjoyed to make it better for you. Also, I try to play a variety of game types including race, flood, slayer, mini-games, etc. If you don’t particularly care for a certain type then just wait for the next.
13. ALL VOICEMAILS WILL BE IGNORED DURING CGN! I just don’t have the time to listen to them all while trying to keep it running smoothly. If I did then you guys would be in the lobby forever between games.
14. PLEASE DON’T BE IN PARTY BUBBLE! If you are then you can’t hear the rules and make it annoying for all.
I have only booted one person since Halo 4 so don't get all paranoid of the Custom Nazi. It usually only requires a warning. I just wanted everyone to have it all posted together. Most important rule is to have fun and allow others to have fun!!!!! All are welcomed to join but d-bags will get booted. Come laugh, cry, trash talk, whimper, bark, whatever, but keep it friendly. I hope to see you all there and will try to include as many as possible so that everyone can have fun.
BTW BIG NEWS!We are going to now have two lobby’s running soon plus a third dedicated to the Halo group of youth under 20 years old. This is going to benefit both age groups and make it more enjoyable for all.

This is definitely a fun and challenging race track overall. I ran it for custom game night a few weeks back. My only negative feedback is the inconsistent man cannon( not your fault) and the blind reverse cornering that blocks your camera view. Very well done and I hope you get a lot of attention for it because it's well deserved.

My two favorite friends when it comes to Aesthetics are Diabolical D and TimmypanicI'd love to see you guys find a great Aesthetics host.

Be aware of the world around you each day. If you see a cool building then add it to the idea box. A cool bridge then add it to the idea box. Google cool architecture. I got lucky and don't have to do this because I have a very creative mind. It just comes but this doesn't work for everyone.

I wish that this post was more readily available to all. This is some really good advice that was well said. Take note and apply what Darkstar 072 (Umbra) has said.

Good one Sarge but I just might be able to pull off a miracle here. Some of the most popular planets in Halo are Requiem, Earth, Reach, Onyx, Sanghelios, Ghilbalb, Charum, Hakkor, and Harvest.
The original UNSC solar system was our current one of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto(which is contraversal but I love Pluto)
Another UNSC system was the Epsilon Eridani System which was composed of Reach, Tribute, Beta Gabriel, Circumstance, Tantalus, Epsilon Eridani IV, Epsilon Eridanni B, and Epsilon Eridanni C. There was also the Eridanus system which was compossed of 12 planets but most of these were glassed by the Covy's. Then there is also the San Shyuum Empire which consisted of 14 planets including Charum, Hakkor, Ben Nauk, and Faun Hakkor. But let's not forget the Chi ceti system where Chi Ceti IV was located and the planet where the MJOLNIR armor created. And finally the furthest which is the Epslon Indi System which is where you would find Harvest and four other planets.
I don't know about the systems that all the Ugly Covy's are from but I know the planets which are as follows: Sanghelios(home of the Elites), Balaho(home of the grunts), Te ( home of the Hunters), Doisac ( home of the jackels). Other planets that Covy's inhabited as a group are Chu'ut, Metisette, SI Pegasis, Decided Heart, Salia, and Hesiod.
Finally the only planet I know that Forrunners inhabited was Ghibalb.
I think that's 41 with the list of inhabitants of most of them

Congrats Sarge your the new "Trivia Master". I have 42 different ways that Bungie and 343 have used the number 7 including 7 doors in maps, #7 on hull of forward until dawns hull of ship, 7 needles from needler to kill, etc. etc. So what's your question Sarge?

This truly is a honor to not only be able to serve you guys but to be a part of the greatest forum around. But honestly, as much as it is humbling for me to be a part of this great staff, I didn't need a color with my name to serve you guys. The story of why I got back into Halo after missing Halo 3 is long, so I won't go into too much details here or what happened. Instead, I'll tell you the results that came from it.
Starting Halo again on REACH I found a passion for custom games and then eventually for forging. Along this journey, I noticed the elitist (no not the covenant) who excluded a lot of people from joining. I have met way too many try hards, prideful, and arrogant gamers who think they are better-than-life because "they belong" to a group and treated players badly. To me that just shows a lack of character. This prevented a lot of people from experiencing what a full lobby during custom games is like. I didn't want to join a group of prideful people to rely on thier reputation to build custom game nights. I also noticed that they were not organized and never ran smoothly. I wanted to create a wave of change. So I started hosting them myself and tried to include whoever wanted to be a part of it. Then I started my own facebook group of quality friends, which was an instant success, to build good quality bonds. The lobby's were filled week after week and it started spreading.
I eventually joined a forum because my Xbox friends said it was different, which lasted a week because of the groups attitudes. I swore, I would never join any forum or forge community. Then I met Absolute Dog and he proved to me that there are good forums out there. He had a passion for the well-being of the group and spoke about that. He talked about the strength of the community instead of himself. It caught my attention. Without him knowing it, I tested him many times to see if what he said was the truth. For those who have ever questioned his intentions or motives, then you might want to do a self-evaluation. Let me just say, that they all come from a good, sincere, and honest man. Someone who definitely enjoys the benefits from moderation, but genuinely cares about the community and strengthening the future of the Halo legend. He wanted something that I wanted. I saw an opportunity to accomplish what we both wanted and joined this group but until a few months ago kind of stayed in the shadows.
During my last year as a member of this forum Custom Game Night has continued to grow and every week there are 2-3 dozen who are not able to join. From the beginning, this is what I have tried to avoid. Now, with the help from Lil Dog and Sweaty Bagels, this problem can be avoided. With them on board, I hope to make this even better for you and allow even more to join. I know that not everyone likes customs but have met less than a dozen from this site during custom nights. There is no required time to stay so what can it hurt? Come check it out and meet some new people. If you don't like a particular gametype then just remind yourself that most games last only 5 min and wait for the next one.
I look at this opportunity to be a part of staff as a privilege and want to serve you guys the best I can. If you ever have comments, concerns, or thoughts on how to better customs night then shoot me a pm. I will do my best to serve the members of this forum with the same honor and integrity of the other staff members.

I'm pretty sure that a friendly tea-bag is more than just a possibility but actually a necessity.Boasting is encouraged. I think we should add the rule where you can t-bag if you are winning

I don't know how I managed to stay awake for this, but so grateful that I did. It was really fun to become more familiar with "my peoples" and hear some voices behind a name. You guys truly are the reason this forum is so amazing. It's an honor to shoot you in the face!
-
AGREED!!! DocterB77This should be an auto message sent to all members via pm.
Also this message is well deserved and in a timely manner. Thank you for the time you invested in articulating this message to us. You covered so many basic points which all of us should use for a self analysis. I appreciate you delivering it with eloquence, assertiveness, and humility. Although some of it should be known from our own common sense, sometimes it just needs to be expressed as a reminder. Your tha man Mr. Doggy dog!

The color changes but the person doesn't
. I'm just glad to be a part of such a great group of people, who as a whole, make this forum better. I've pm and messaged back and forth with a lot of you but haven't actually played with most of you. Let's change that, I WANT to know all of you better.P.S. no more bright obnoxious red cuz I'm green now

Shootout in The Valhalla
in Halo 4

There's a reason why I wanted to play it with you the first time we met. I love this Spartan Ops mission. Complete chaos combined with vehicular fun
