This... This is one interesting question! Well, Let me get started!! Alright, So when Halo 3 had come out, Forge was more of a small tool; Something to use to edit the weapon layout and or spawn points. But after Foundry had come out, People in the community went in and made these amazing maps! Alexo670 with his shopping mall... Arby n' The Chiefs very own wedding episode... All in all, Forge was becoming something that people loved - And Bungie kept their eyes on that and made sure that it was maintained... Creative! And that is when our very beloved map Sandbox had been aired to the gamers, And sure enough we had a huge assortment of pieces to use and mess around with. Like Arbiter 617s Pizza Delivery machinima, Located in a city built entirely out of the worn our sand blocks and wedges of the Sandbox. And that is when forge for Halo 3 met its limit. When Halo: Reach had come out, It had brought forge back into the welcoming arms of machinima directors, builders, clan leaders, and just over all the fans a like. Halo: Reach had welcomed Forge World, A blank canvas for us all to use and let our minds flow. Reach had also welcomed new types of pieces... New inclines, New tunnels, New walls... New everything actually! And with the new "fine editing" tool, It made building your dream maps so much easier. Many famous games were either made or re-made in Halo: Reach! Like Speed Halo, Ice Cream Man, Fat kid, Etc. When Halo 4's forge had been brought to the table, It was actually a different situation. We now had dynamic lighting, Welcoming some new shadows for the lovely and talented lurker Azaxx to roam in. And though Halo's forge pallet had a bunch of white foam looking items, And a more UNSC directed arsenal of objects, (Oppose to Halo: Reach's Forerunner look, And colors)... Halo 4 welcomed in magnets, Which could be a nuisance every now and then, As certain pieces don't fit correctly. 343 had also brought in duplication, A fast way to set options on items and keep them like that, With the click of one button. Halo 4 had 3 individual forge environments, Ravine, Impact, and Erosion. Erosion having its own Grifball court as a bonus... But since some fans didn't like the lack of area to forge, 343 released Forge Island, 3 different islands, 3 different sizes, and more objects to use. Also a green screen for some of those machinima directors as well. All in all, I think (In my opinion) that Halo: Reach's forge mode had been the best. Though it doesn't rival Halo 4's Magnets, Dynamic Lighting, and duplication, Halo: Reach had a more vivid look to its items, Instead of a foam look. Halo: Reach also had more than just UNSC created items, Featuring covenant crates, gravity lifts, and objects that appeared more forerunner than anything! Halo: Reach also had Forge World, Which had a good balance between land and water, Making it possible to connect your fort to the island, or blood gulch. Also, You can't just leave out the colored Mongooses either!! That is my view on it, Thanks for reading!! - TDM

Congrats on the switcheroo Cooliest! And welcome to the News Team Edward, Can't wait to see the changes these can bring in.

Dual wielding... It needs to come back, We've all seen how makes a different effect on the battle field, And how it is also quite an interesting tactic. Though some found it annoying, It was a good feature which allowed you to feel like a spartan, You can simply hold two weapons at a time oppose to one. But one thing; If a spartan riding passenger on a mongoose can wield a spartan laser in one hand, Why can't we wield a spartan laser in two? We use the spartan laser since it technically doesn't need to be reloaded, It is just a cool down. But you can obviously see that spartans can hold huge weapons in one hand meaning they must have the strength to hold two at a given time. Even if it were a special ability, For example: If we have a tac package called "Juggernaut". That should increase our damage resistance and allow us to dual wield any two weapons. Overpowered, Yes. But the ability to be a spartan and actually feel like one is the key, To make it more interesting. I know I wrote a lot here, And got a bit off topic. But Dual wielding was amazing, And it definitely NEEDS to come back to us.

Wait... Again..? My... I am flattered... Thanks everyone, For being awesome members and helping me find my way up to Top 15 again. It really warms my robotic/icy/boxer heart.

Helljumper, Helljumper, Where you been? Feet first into hell then back again! When I die please bury me deep! Fix my MA5 down by my feet! Seeing men and women in ODST armor serving justice to the storm covenant would be great to see, After all - They are the best of the best.

Hmmm... A quite touching story indeed... In fact, I will give you a free A+ in L.A class, Not that anyone cares about that class, or myself. But the ability to put an event that happened in your life into such wording is quite worthy of it. Best of luck to the future! And try to make it over the 100+ mark!

I just want to say one thing, And I am not sure many people noticed... But... The first post was made in May 2013, Three months before the champions bundle. And the 343i staff gamercards have that content, Unless it was updated after it had come out. I don't know... Just noticed it. And I like the generator, It is easy and reliant. Though there are some minor glitches, All it takes is a refresh and retry and fixed. Good work.

Welcome to the forums Craig! I hope you enjoy your stay and learn as much about the forum as we all do, Which isn't that difficult being we are all nice and will help you out, Stay safe and don't get in trouble!

Hmmm.... Either Connor, Edward, Drizzy, Church, GSD, AD, BZ1, Pbrabbit, Sparky, Razgriz, THE STIG! (Inspired me to play Forza) or Maestro. And myself and I of course.

Maybe, Maybe not.

When I get my PVR for my Xbox, I am going to have to make a Halo video for The Sniper of 343i.org. I am going to definitely make it. A group of members who are hunting the sniper, The sniper, and the group of people that are neutral, Or don't see what is going on. With this playing of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhwDxNqWtxk Awesome job Drizzy!

Banned because you shouldn't.

Well everyone, Due to the fact that members are starting to leave due this whole new leader thing/Team thing in general, I am shutting down Shadow Team, Not because I really want to, To be honest. But because we can't lose members from an amazing community. This thread shall be locked, And all members in Shadow Team will be eject from the PM's as the PM will be deleted. I hate for it to come to this, But think about the good friends we are losing. Best regards -TDM

I have to say... Seeing someone leave because of all this Team business is pretty sad.... I see it has been a bumpy ride and whatnot, And how some have been mistreating the other lately, And I will say it is pretty disturbing how things have been over the past weeks... More CMods would probably be a good idea, Heck I'd be one. But I haven't properly trained with my warning sensei yet... I'll miss you buddy... Best of luck on your endeavors and adventures. -TDM

Banned for trying too hard to speak backwards and getting it right.

Banned for weasels.

Self Destruct still had the best quote ever from the redneck selection part of it... Heh... Blackmarket...
