Nice work! I would love to see more of your work! I know there are plenty of members here who are always looking for Halo art, so they will want to see your work as well!

This is actually a good idea, and was something people loved in Halo 4 with the Champions Bundle DLC. At E3 343i did confirm that adding in armor and weapon skins is something that is possible in Halo 5, especially with the REQ packs. What other armor they are bringing back and have yet to reveal (from the beta and since then), I don't know, but I am looking forward to seeing everything that is coming.

Welcome back! It's always nice to see an older member return. I'm looking forward to seeing you around.

There are plenty of people who play Halo on a regular basis here on the forums, and every so often we host events on Halo: Reach. It has been a while since the last one, but I think we may see one in the coming weeks. It helps to make connections by playing other Halo games with other members. Once you find some friends, I'm sure most of them would be more than happy to jump into Reach and play some customs. Also try to include your availability, so people with similar schedules as yourself can play as often as possible.

This shows a lot of promise. I will be following the development with much interest. And yes, I would be interested in seeing this on Steam in the future, so you have one more "Yes" vote.

Welcome to the forums! If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to ask!

Although we saw two different forge maps in Halo 5 during the Beta (one playable, the other not), 343i has said there will be more than what we saw. There was many new pieces, and lot of re-skinned pieces, and edits to pieces the forge community has seen since Halo Reach. I expect we will be getting even more than what the Halo 2A forge has made available to us, including a better scripting system and hard-spawning for weapons. There is a lot of potential for Halo 5's forge, and knowing 343i and seeing the forge work by Certain Affinity on MCC gives me closure to know that Halo 5's forge will be better than before.

I noticed Twam's update earlier, so it's nice to be about to say now this is a good idea, and I hope it continues to inspire members to post high quality posts and to be the best members they can.

Paper or plastic?

As we aren't 343, we can only walk you through what should have happened. If you did play in the first few weeks, and qualified for the free ODST, you should have received both an email and an Xbox message on your Xbox one the next time you logged in (around the 29th of may). If you did not receive either and you believe that you qualify, contact 343i on Halo waypoint.

As Halo 3 is my favorite game in the series, I feel obligated to make a comment in this thread. Halo 3 has arguably the best matchmaking and balance of any Halo game. Yes, there were some issues in weapon balance, but most were balanced out through distance and map control. Both in the social and ranked playlists matches were fun and competitive. Halo 3 was fairly up close and personal, but had the finesse the ranged gameplay needed. As for campaign, Halo 3 has very memorable missions. Who doesn't remember trekking through the jungle, assaulting New Mombasa, driving through the desert on the Ark, knocking down the towers around Truth, and escaping High Charity with Cortana? Yeah the cutscenes were nothing special, but game playwise it was never just a sludge through (okay Cortana totally was), and each area and each fight was unique. So yeah, my name is Sikslik7, and I'm a Halo 3 addict.
