Sikslik7

"Just great, more covies" muttered Sikslik7 as he watched the procession of the elites enter the gulch. "None of this makes any sense, Brutes attacking Jackals and now Elites show up? They seem to be moving forward as if they don't knnow the others are nearby. Is this some sort of Covenant showdown? At least I'm out of the way, and they can't see me." A beam of light streaks past his face. "Or not," he groans as he rolls backwards and brings up his battle rifle, scoping in of the cliff's edge where the beam came from. Jackals, and lots of them. With a couple of bursts, the jackals briefly disband. Sikslik7 slids down the side of the cliff, and lands in a croutched position, and looks up towards the elites and their vehicles. Multiple wraith shots are in the air, and coming his way. He starts sprinting to the open part of the canyon, and the elites begin to follow, "Yes, its working, just a little more..." All of a sudden the brutes notice him, and chase aftter, but turn once they see they elites, and open fire.

"Total Systems Reboot! Total System Reboot!" blares through Sikslik7's helmet. Flashing red lights and a warning message appear on the helmet's screen. "As if I didn't figure that out," mumbles Sikslik7 as he rolls onto his back. "Hmm a cage, and a crappily built one too, probably brute-made." The warning messages fade, and a full system diagnostics progress bar appears in the lower right corner of his helmet. Slowly getting up, Sikslik7 looks around outside the cage, into the grey room beyond. "Hmm, pretty bleak, but where is all the brutes that were here earlier?" He stretches, and looks at the door, unlocked. "Man, these brutes are just getting dumber and dumber aren't they?" Stepping outside the cage, Sikslik7 finds his trusty battle rifle and his magnum just laying there. Shoving a clip into the magnum and turning the safety off, he slowly begins to creep around the inside of Blue Base. Two brutes are sitting on the ground in one room, playing some card game very similar to "Go Fish." Sikslik7 walks into the room and the two brutes turn, confused, "Ever have fried fish," Sikslik7 askes as he puts a bullet through each of their skulls. A third brute in the corner turns around, seemingly pulling up his fly, and gets pistol-whipped in the face. Sikslik7 leaves the room through another door, and finds the exit, bursting into a sun-filled gulch. "There's no one here," he mutters. Suddenly he hears suppressor fire in the distance, and starts off in that direction. Two brutes are standing at the entrance to a cave, and seem to be about to hurl spike grenades into it. Pulling his battle rifle to his shoulder, Sikslik7 adjusts the scope, takes a deep breath, and pulls the trigger twice. The grenades erupt in a whirlwind of orange spikes, blowing the two brutes flat on their backs. One brute yells, "What shall we do Pluton," but the brute leader just lays on the ground dazed. The nearby brutes go into a panic, unsure where the shots came from. "Time to leave," mutters Sikslik7, and he rolls to the ground. He backs off to get a better view of the confusion. Sikslik7 finds a cluster of rocks near the cliff's edge and looks around. He notices a second entrance to the cave, and a Jackal shaped creature bounds out of it and disappears into the field. "Good luck little guy, you'll need it."

Maximus! Maximus! Maximus! Welcome back, you've been missed by many members, including myself.

Alright, here's the model. I have built a collection of models so that we can put all the models in one folder. I have tagged all CFP maps with CFP. Here's Space Station: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cda0df02011c3dadcb595eb733038567

I have played the original Xbox multiple times through friends since about 2004. I played on the Xbox 360 for the first time about May of 2007, on a Halo 3 special edition xbox 360, playing Halo 3. I played it on and off at friend's houses until Christmas of 2008, until I got my current Xbox 360. I played GameCube since 2001, and played computer game before and during that time.

Here's why Halo 3 worked: Balance, and an amazing campaign. Bungie took a balanced game, Halo 2, and changed a few things, and balanced them. There was minor bloom, but there was balance. I could predict what would happen next in a battle if I did certain things. Halo 3: ODST also was about balance. Halo 3's campaign has a very high replayability factor, not including skulls, terminals, and easter eggs. No joke, I can turn on my Xbox, and play through the halo 3 campaign twice in a row, on any difficulty, with or without friends. Halo 4 and Halo Reach has a little of this, but I don't feel the need to return to those campaigns every once in a while. Back in 2007, and the three years of development of it, and even further back, the thing the sold video games was the campaign. Very few people played games online, due to lack of consoles and bad connections. If you make a balanced campaign, typically the weapons were decently balanced for multiplayer as well. Now, the main focus is multiplayer, and in most multiplayer games now, there is incredible imbalances, why? Because if I know that I can get a powerful gun and mow people down quickly, I will feel good, and want to do it again. But if I am playing a balanced game, I would lose most of my battles, and be mad and not play. I happen to really enjoy balance. If I know that the reason I died in a game is because of my skill and decisions, and the other player's skill and decision, I can accept that. I can accept being destroyed, although I may not be happy with it. Team work is key in balanced games, and working together, ie a warthog, was an advantage if used right. Now, everyone plays lone wolf, and there is very few times that most team work is thought out. I can go into most objective games in Halo 4 with a friend, and win multiple times in a row, just because we work together. If I look at where things are with Halo 3. Halo Reach, and Halo 4, I would say 343i has taken two separate paths in matchmaking. There are many elements of Halo 3 in Halo 4, but the imbalance from Reach is dominate. My suggestion and hope for the future: make a wicked campaign, make forge better, and make multiplayer balanced, and if needed, take out things inserted in Halo 4. I want to see a "classics playlists which is balances, and a Infinity playlist, which is more personalized.

I remember these in the shoutbox, especially last summer. Name: Sikslik7 (creative right?) Weapon of choice: Battle Rifle, back up magnum Race: Spartan III Ability 1: Spartan enhancement Ability 2: MJOLNIR 5 variants armor Ability 3: Technician, can fix just about anything, given time Bio: Part of the Spartan III Lone Wolf program, and went missing during the attack on Reach while defending on Anchor 7, presumed dead, UNSC official record reports MIA. Actually escaped by hiding on an attacking Phantom, hitching a ride back to a cruiser, which jumped away from Reach before it could be sabatoged. Later came to Earth during the Prophet of Regret's attack on Earth. Special weapons unlocked: Flux Capacitor: Ie the thing used in Back to the Future to travel back and forth in time. Basically I am able to, once per round, rewrite the person's post above mine, so it would change the events to something else. For example, if someone's post was about them smashing my skull in, or sneaking up and knocking me out, I could rewrite and alter the event so that I would win the combat. But I have to use it directly under that post, so if someone else got a post in before that, the first post is safe from my ability. In order to use the ability, I start my post with something tk the effect of, "Sikslik7 uses his ability to go backing time and alters the events of the above post" in big bold letters.

Great post! It's always a useful tool to have a list of objects when planning a map. Also, when putting in the costs, put in the limits for each section, (ie building blocks - 100)

First off, if you are the huge Halo fan that you claim to be, you would know that this is only a fan-made community site, not 343i's site. Posting on Halowaypoint.com, 343i's site, would get 343i to look at your opinions. Second of all, If you want 343i and other people in the Halo community to read, and consider what you have to say, I suggest you fix up your grammar and spelling. Your post is one giant paragraph, and seems just to be a rant, nothing more. If you think out and structure your post, it would go a long ways at getting peoples attention and swaying them. That, and running your post through spell check would make it much easier to read, and would help convey your message clearly.

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

Welcome to the forums! If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to ask! Also, as a fellow forger, I would like to personally invite you to the forum's community forge project, found here: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/28568-the-343industries-community-forum-forge-project/

So, where is the oddest place/ how you have accessed the forums? I have accessed it from multiple locations, and multiple odd set ups. My oddest was on a road trip, using my friends ipod touch, connecting through the wi-fi his phone was transmitting, in the middle of the rocky mountains. We were also streaming netfix movies using his Wii. We die this all in a car while traveling too.

Well, here's my list: Call of Duty: Simply I enjoy playing it, but I don't feel the need to go play it, or play it seriously. I screw around in most games, just trying to be the guy who pisses everyone else off on the other team. Supersmash Bros Brawl: I loved the first two, but I felt Brawl was only about having the best character. It the others, there was that element, but it wasn't that important, any character could win. Temple run, and most other handheld/ipod games: I just don't find stooping a button over Andover, or moving my thumb back and forth on a small screen enjoyable. If I am going to play, I want a larger screen and a controller or keyboard.

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

Alright, I added a gamertag for the CFP. It's: CFP343i

Yeah we better get this fast, and spread it in our own time. Once multiple people on various forums have it, they won't be able to stop the mod!

I hope that Destiny comes out sometime between the end of 2013 and June of 2014. I just want Bungie to have the game finished when it comes out, and have lots of stuff ready to add in the months after release.

I could conceivably do voice acting, as if for an inanimate object or a narrator of some sort. Probably won't be able to do body acting though. Any type of file you want it in?

Yeah, I don't know why 343i would go back and change things on Halo 3 now. I can tell you that if there was an update, we'd know about it. So yes, definitely fake on both accounts.

I understand your frustration. I have been out into many losing games, however, more times I am put into a new game or a game where the team I am on is winning, or it is a close game. However, your frustrations are aimed at the wrong location. Thins is a community fan-made forum. If you want 343i to witness your frustration, post on halowaypoint.com, 343i's site.

Yes, it is very misleading to have the title of the playlist Infinity slayer and have Slayer Pro in it. 343i has not been the best with managing playlists in either Reach or Halo 4. Hello, where is BTB that you promised us months ago?
