  1. None of us here have the power to do anything about it, for this is not Halo's official website. If you go to Halo Waypoint, you can get in touch with some of 343 Industries' staff. You could also work on a strategy to take down whoever is holding the Incineration Cannon. It only has three shots before it runs out of ammo, so their reign of terror won't last too long.
  2. Then Jackals would be the cannon fodder! What if the Sangheili were the cannon fodder and the Unggoy were the military backbone of the Covenant?
  3. UPDATE First off, I'd like to thank everyone who has voted and replied to this thread so far! I'm pumped to start the groundbreaking and getting everything underway. Thus far, I've been gathering a whole bunch of custom content, mainly small residential, commercial, and civic buildings to prevent an overflow of dreadful Maxis buildings from popping up everywhere like weeds. I've got a reasonable collection of taller buildings as well, but I don't need to worry about those nearly as much since little buildings pop up far more frequently than skyscrapers. I've also been looking at getting some bridges as well, since every location I've chosen will need at least one bridge. The issue with bridges, however, is that they need a specific length or shore height in order to look presentable. I've found as much Halo-related content as well, what little there is. Regardless, you will recognize one piece, and maybe a couple more if you paid a lot of attention to ODST. If 343 City becomes a bustling metropolis, you may start to see some tall buildings from cities around the world. Which brings me to my second point. I've been looking extensively at each location and have started developing some plans on how a city can be laid out to fully utilize what the land has to offer and where to set up main thoroughfares. I've been giving Location 3 more attention because that seems to be the favourite location so far and also requires the most planning of all locations to make it look half-decent. When you build on relatively steep slopes in Simcity 4, it produces hideous and insanely steep cliffsides. And finally... @ Yoshi: You can get a Sim named after you, but chances are he won't look anything like you or be able to navigate NAM (it's a transport mod) road systems. Darn pathfinding issues and just sheer Sim stupidity are the downfall of every "My Sim" inhabitant you add into any city. I'll name a building after you instead. @ Da Baws: Funny that you mention getting bridges in Location 3... custom bridges are most likely to work on its shores. @ Ranger447: I thought the force that binds the universe was gravity! @ Halo5follower: Uh... which one? @ Eddy: Heh, symbolism. Location 1 would also be a similar idea, would it not? @ Magical Love: Your hometown's also the source for many towers on Simtropolis. There's an entire team dedicated to recreating buildings from Hong Kong for use in Simcity 4. @ adam91: Hopefully I can get the population in Location 3 to grow enough so that large buildings start appearing at the base of the mountain.
  4. 5 days until groundbreaking begins! Be a part of 343 City history today! http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/33302-343iorg-city/

  5. And who could forget an entirely new universe to explore? Adventuring and exploring are the best parts of immersing yourself in a sci-fi story! If it wasn't for the huge amount of lore that Halo has to offer, it would be just another futuristic shooter.
  6. The Incineration Cannon... there's nothing quite as satisfying as scoring a one-hit kill on those wretched Knights, especially on Midnight!
  7. 6 days until the groundbreaking begins in 343 City! Vote for your favourite location now! http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/33302-343iorg-city/

  8. Before I went to bed last night, I saw some talk in the shoutbox about 343 City. And being the lurker that I tend to be every now and then, I didn't talk at all and let the shouts fly briefly until I decided to go to bed. I pondered how such a city would be laid out... ...then, an idea popped into my head. Why not make it in Simcity 4? So sure enough, I'm going to! But I don't want to run the show by myself. That's why I want YOU to choose your favourite out of these three locations I found in the region I've chosen: Location 1: Location 2: Location 3: So yeah, pick your favourite spot! Voting ends in ONE WEEK. EDIT: As for the lack of trees in each location, it's tough to see what the land entails with them there. So once a spot is chosen, I will do some gardening and then construction will begin. Also, regardless of location, 343 City will have at least one neighbouring city, as cities do not function alone very well in Simcity 4. I'll be updating how construction is going whenever I can. But between work and looking at post-secondary, I'll make sure to update at least once a week.
  9. This talk of 343 City makes me want to build one in Simcity 4. Should I build one?

      @Love: It's going to be a city in Simcity 4 soon. But otherwise, it's a location similar to yours in your sniper story.

      @Spyro: All I can do is name the mayor after you.

      @Ranger447: No guarantees.

      @Dexter: There's already a Minecraft server.

      @Zag: No guarantees.

      If there are Spartans in it, then yes. :)

      Unfortunately I couldn't get little sprites of Spartans walking around or Halo vehicles driving around, although I've found a tutorial to reskin vehicles. I may end up reskinning police cruisers to look like Warthogs... we'll see.

  10. 12 year-olds don't count as guys, they're merely kids. Mute them and you'll be safe from their auditory assault on Call of Duty. Play with friends on Spartan Ops, or ask members around here if they want to play. We don't bite!
  11. G'arr, matey, I have to send ye an ultimatum fer not including me in yer post! A tankard o' rum all around fer yer spoils!

    Forerunner HELP!

    It looks like you're in a bit of a pickle! Is this on the level where the Covenant and Forerunners are fighting against each other, or have they started to work together? Because the level before you meet the Librarian is the level called "Infinity", where you're in the jungle for the first half of the level and then you ride around in vehicles for the second half. If the distance is too great for you to cover by sprinting, take cover wherever you can. For the last bit, if you have a Hardlight Shield, face your enemies and use it, walking backwards in the process. Also remember that Knights take a long time to fire their Binary Rifles. So what you can do is troll them by poking out of cover, and make them shoot at you. When they're about to shoot, go back into hiding or else... as you said yourself, you're toast. Then try making a mad dash out of the area.
  13. And you thought that you wouldn't be MoM, Ed! Way to go, buddy, you deserve it!

  15. I don't really play Pokemon anymore as I do fiddle with the coding and break it... with actually some interesting results. Click the spoiler buttons below for an adventure! (except not really )
  16. Curses, I thought for sure victory was mine! My plans for forum domination have been foiled again! Way to go, everyone, and congratulations to the winners! It was awesome to see all of the participants break out the paint brushes and canvases and fly at it... or, computer mice and monitors. Same thing, right?
  17. I would choose to be a Promethean. Who wouldn't want to be a 12' tall mechanical monster that can teleport at will? Besides, you would actually be able to respawn if a Watcher is nearby.
  18. I find it happens before Halo 4 is connected to 343's servers. It'll show my player at level 1, clad in black recruit armour pieces. After I wait a few minutes for the game to connect, my player shows up normally at level 99.
  19. I'm pretty stoked for February!
