Coke may be the drink of kings, but obviously not the drink of spellers? Pepsi all the way

Firstly and sorry to say its Bungie not Budgie (makes me lol so hard, we all hate autocorrect eh?) Personally the campaign in Halo 4 is better and more engrossing than all the others, the story sucks you in and makes you care about what happens, who wasn't shocked? Upset? when the Cortana incident happened? The replay value from H4's campaign is brilliant, played it several times all the way through, sadly the MP on Halo 4 is lacking, which in today's gaming environment is what a game needs to last. If only Microsoft had given 343 another 6 months, then we wouldn't be playing Halo 4's beta MP all the time.

Have to ask how can you not remember the email, password or even the gamer tag name??? But as AD said above it will have been recycled by now

I'm off for next 4 days so could b able to help in the evenings

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a MUST!!!! I'd love a proper updated version of Space Harrier, I wasted an obscene amount of money in the arcade machine, none of the console versions have been any good so far

5 posts. That are not in the offbeat or Introduction section will activate the Shoutbox

I'm a BRILLIANT cook, so whatever you require I'd make it up. Just give me some notice before conjuring me up, I'd need to go shopping for ingredients first

There goes the neighborhood LMAO, good to see you back Twin Never has a truer comment been said

Nice MoM post, looking good in Pink as well

Congratulations on earning the MoM for May, your Halo forge skills and knowledge proceed you. With THFE you folks have kept the Halo Community going and for that I salute you.

ask a moderator to tweet it out on the forum twitter I'm going to leave a review shortly

Just downloaded the app very good You need to post a thread in every halo forum out there to get the word out about it This could be brilliant if all the custom gamers out there use it

Other than Halo I'm a 100% Gears of War fan love everything about the franchise and the new one rocks Other than that I play a wide variety of games from anything Transformers, Ghost Recon, Crysis 3(a little bit)

Not so much horror more gory but The Helpers is worth a watch, one word of advice? Don't eat whilst watching it lmao

I like this thread Firstly I'd like to say Absolute Dog, with out your friendship, shoulder to cry on, and countless conversations via XBL, and the pm system on here, I dont think I would of stayed a Moderator as long as I did, games come and go, but friendships last. Now under your leadership the forum has grown beyond belief, we have affiliates, the forum has changed for the better, and your tireless work doesnt go un-noticed, finally we have a person in orange who deserves it and can drive the forum from strength to strengh. Choot em, a quality member and a good friend, im still amazed now how he finds the time to do the things he does, thanks Choot for listening to my issues/problems, and the advice given has always been greatfully received, another person who I am thankful to call friend! (ps. If you havent heard Choot em on XBL then be prepared, he has the deepest voice ever!!!) Twam the creator, Hail Twam, theyve all been said about him, on a personal level, I have to thank Twam for putting faith in me all those years ago and making me a Community Moderator (at the time the only one ) then putting faith to promote me to Site Moderator. Art Department - The people that have put all there time and effort into creating signatures for all the members, they do this not for money. not for recognition, but because they want to, remember that when you are chasing up a signature, they are doing this in there spare time. The Art department has had some great artists over the years Egyptianghetto, Theorix, and now its in the hands of Insignia, a great artist who has a love for everything art, and what a talent he has! To the current Mod team, keep it up guys you folks are there for a reason, you are the best, keep protecting the forum . I could go on, but dont want to bore you all with my thoughts To all love and respect (you know who you are)

This is heart breaking news!

tell me about it, only game I remember where everybody talked and worked together, had many a long night on Horde, with strangers who became friends

thats actually quite true, unless your playing with friends the headset now gets made redundant, it used to be switch xbox on, grab controller, plug in headset, and then play, Ive not done that since my Gears of War 2 days, headset only comes out now, if I want to talk to people I know. sad but true

Freaking awesome dude!!!!!!!! A truly deserving member, did whatever he could for the forum and asked for nothing in return, was sad to see you leave the staff ranks. But now you have been picked/blessed with the ultimate forum accolade 'Legendary Member' (not that I'm biased in anyway ) A true Legendary member

Congratulation RSR long overdue and well deserved The forum reader is now a moderator so watch your posts folks

Chapter One Jesters Memoirs I've given this some serious thought and thought I would share with you some of my forum memories Way back in the old days I remember a member joining who was polite, in the know, and would answer members questions about the technical side of Halo, letting them know what was and wasn't possible, that member was Twinreaper. Twin was a breath of fresh air when he joined the forum, here we had a member that could break Halo down to a single line of programming code, and tell it back to you in a way that actually made sense. I lost count of the times a member posted about AI in forge etc, and I would reply with 'Wheres Twin when you need him' and up he popped. Around the same sort of time a member joined who was a Halo 3 fan, he wasn't the biggest fan of Reach, but supported Bungie in all of there efforts, and knew whilst Reach had its flaws, he could see through all of that and enjoy Reach for what it was. At this time, you were able to leave comments in peoples profiles, I remember answering a post on a members profile, and getting the response of 'Do you have a problem with me or something?' yep my humour failed there but I did have a tendency to miss the mark and take things too far, so quickly explained I was having a joke, what came from that almost instantly was a great friendship which grows stronger everyday, that member Absolute Dog. (do you remember that AD?). AD quickly came through the ranks to the Site Moderator you all know him as now. AD is a great friend, and the chats we have via pm and XBL are the stuff of legends, a 5 minute chat turns into a 5 hour marathon LOL. I see AD in orange and sit back smiling, knowing the forum has the right person in Orange, the Captain of the ship, who is steering it to the top.... There are times in your like when personal issues really get to you, and feel that you have nowhere to turn or no-one to talk to, and suddenly you realise it is right in front of you all the time, both on this forum and elsewhere. This member we talked / interacted o this forum quite a lot (only had chance to talk once on XBL, and boy does he have a deep voice (theres a clue!)) I found myself on here and elsewhere telling all my troubles to him, and he listened, understood, sympathised, and replied, you know what? it worked this guy has the magic touch, instantly felt better, hes the Dad of the forum, and a great friend to all, aren't you Choot'em. Theres also a few members who sadly don't seem to be here anymore so El Silverado, eliteultra, Itz Keefy, come back guys your missed. One day Twam was doing an update on the forum, basically whilst the update was going on, the only people that could access the forum was the Moderating Team, well lets just say this, the bad word filter was on overload, and there was so many smilies we would of all fallen foul of the shoutbox rules. April fools Day, Twam's Revenge!!!!! Luke was a red admin, Twam was black (banned) I was green, AD was trusted, and the forum was in uproar, everybody thought Luke had hacked the forum, locked out Twam, and demoted all the moderating team, this went on all day, what members didnt know was we still had all our mod powers, so we were helping Luke maintain the I am the powerful Luke overlord all day. I spent half the day, desperately pming members who were disgusted and leaving the forum, to advise them it was an april fools joke so please play along we are still in control LMAO, an hilarious day. 1 more and I'm done, The GSD Court date by Church, yes it was only the other week, but for me that is a Forum Classic and for anyone that remembers it, will be a classic for years to come, if you dont know what Im talking about check the offbeat section. A classic thread from Church, and one I will always remember. One thing this forum has given me is friends for life we may never meet in the real world, but we may do one day who knows. But with myself not being a hardcore Halo player it's given me the opportunity to meet people I never would of never had the chance to and the opportunity to call them friends. Who do I thank for that? Easy Twam for creating this forum and for replying to a certain pm I sent him 2 years ago volunteering my services to help out lol

Absolute quality I expected nothing else from you Church Again Congratulations on MoM well deserved for a long time member

Oh my I'm Blue, Twin is green and Jack the Jot where ever did he to and for those that don't know emo kitten 32 was Fire LMAO ye olde forum

Well done Church, well deserved for the perfect member. This one makes me so proud!!!!! Now I can wait to read your MoM post
