So, are you slowly upgrading the armor set to a more Halo 4 inspired look..?

A Spartan-II.

YES!!!! FRIGGIN' YES!!! THE #REDNECK_SELECTION HAS PROMOTED YOU TO MoM!! Congrats Self Destruct, I knew your explosive personality would get you a month in the minus green one day!! Enjoy your month!

Gungoose Color: Steel Has "This is startin' to look B.A." scratched in on the side. Has treads rather than wheels. Speed is increased with higher torque.

I like the armor and weapon props you have, and it's pretty cool that you used ODST shoulders compared to the bland Mark VI shoulders. You've really gotta get creative when you make armor.. Keep up the good work, maybe you can start a business up from it.

You're an 'over'.

I recommend updating the post. This way depending on how many comments there are I don't have to go thread surfing, and also just to keep it a little neater. :3

Yes, while Yoshi and Bnus are saying the truth on the topic... 343i doesn't give out the Recon anymore, but the Recon is not really that rare of a sight these days. Hayabusa or Security is a better choice in my opinion.

Well hello there Sniper!! Welcome to the friendliest corner of the internet here at 343Industries Community Forum. I hope you enjoy your stay, make friends, and get some good posts and events in for the community! Be sure to just check all the rules, just to be safe. I'll be seeing you around! -TDM

Banned for telling someone they had told the truth when the weasel gods really know they were lying.

Endless Summer?! Step 1: Walk into concrete box. Step 2: Set fire to it. Step 3: Safety first! Please obtain your fire proof suits. Step 4: Have fun getting a good ol' fashion tan and summer sun all year round!

See ya, hope to see you soon!

This practically is in a playable state. As of now I am trying to forge up a CTF compatible version as well as Oddball. And then some "Directors Cut" fun if I can make up Race and classic Infection. It's a pretty fun game type though, sadly 343i won't be supplying the friends (via matchmaking) until November 11th (14th in Europe). EDIT: Actually, for Directors Cut gametypes (since they are going to be in Anniversary) I think I may have fun with them and see what I can brew up.

Hi guys and gals!! I've just made a good idea, I think at least... So, it is 2014, nearing 2015. We've come a long way from the 8-bit games we used to play, and why not make comparisons from then to now? RULES: 1. Old to new - Try your best to get the same angle. If you can't, use your imagination. 2. This is obviously an old to new system. You could use Mario Level Creator for Wii U since it used two graphics engines, no worries. Alright, I'll go first!! Old: New: Whoever goes next (if someone does), choose whatever you got! And yes, Any Halo: CE - Halo 2 Anniversary photos work too.

I admit it...

...Weasel academy to steal the...

The Poncho Chief?

I love the Gungoose. Here is how I think of it, why run out into a battlefield unarmed on an quad that will be a big death mission? When you can just strap some guns to front and get some extra fire. Now, I am not Tucker from RvB, but I could say this thiing can really pick up... Kills. This is an effective type of vehicle, you have speed, traction, and now fire-power! Who could've asked for more? Now to just dissect this a bit, let's just take into mind that this is a Mongoose with guns. This will most likely have the fire-power of dual wielding SMGs, since the guns strapped onto the front appear to be SMGs of some sort. But the thing is, Mongooses are pretty weak against quite a few odds, so it probably wouldn't be safe going up against a.. Scorpion per say. But this has the ability to mow down any foot soldier in your path... Right...? Not exactly, as a mongoose can explode quite easily, Rocketeers beware. Another thing, you'll have a passenger on the back too, well... Most likely. If not, the bumper sticker for "How's my gungoosing..?" was too intimidating. But, with a passenger you'll most likely be able to dominate the battlefield if you are careful and have a good approach tactic. Just don't charge out screaming "Kill the reds or kill the blues". Those aren't the Best Laid Plans. And on a side note, maybe the guns on the front will be customizable? Take the Warthog for instance, it was a normal chaingun vehicle which became a Gauss hog, then sooner or later a rocket hog! Maybe the gungoose will have different variations such as SMGs, Lasers... Maybe even plasma pistols! Or if you want to be really loud, how about two rockets? If a spartan can't dual wield those, a gungoose surely can! ~Assault Rifle~ But I'm not done there, with the new addition of the AR maybe we can see those on the Gungoose too? The AR had been added to compete with our mid range weapons, like the BR, Magnum.. That stuff. The AR can surely make a big impact since it will be able to hopefully even out the battles of the past and make them more fun or fair in the future... Who knows? But YES! The new sandbox features should most definitely stay, as they add more variety, fun, and creativity into the field! Long live 343!! P.S. Yes, I did need to bring up the Assault Rifle.. What forum dumby wouldn't? Just kidding, a blue friend with my helmet paid me.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/sii%20logan%20133/halo4/fileshare#!/?section=GameSettings&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&startIndex=0 Look for "Team Slayer!!" In time, but first I just need to finalize a thing or two. Then I'll teach you.

Hey everyone, I know it has been a while! And I am quite sorry for that. But, I have some good news! Art Week will be officially starting again in the beginning of August. The date is NOT specified, but just know that it will most definitely be in the beginning of August. Which is why I have been thinking about it a lot, and so I have some results. So, here is the concept this time. For us in the Northern Hemisphere it is summer. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, it is Winter. So depending on where you are on a Hemispherical way of looking at it, that should base your pictures theme. Although, if you'd like to do vice-versa or just make your own idea in general, go ahead! You are free to your choices here, right? Also, if you've noticed my new status.... You're probably wondering what the whole "I love bees" gimmick with me is, right? I know you are. So now to unveil why I've been away for so long!! I've been waiting for a long time now. Here is a few hints: So, any idea yet..? Well, you most likely guessed right! What you are seeing right now is my new gametype... Halo 2 Anniversary slayer! This is in version 0.04 as there hasn't been a lot of issues, but I'll be waiting for Comic-Con and GamesCom before I add any more features into it. So go here to take a copy and try it out for yourself with some friends! I'm sure you'll fall in love with it. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/sii%20logan%20133/halo4/fileshare#!/?section=GameSettings&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&startIndex=0 And yes, I was gone a few months because of this because I wanted to nail the weapon specs. But just note that it all can't be the same due to ammo and tuning and so on. But I got it as close as I could for now. This has been The Dumb Marine, and have a good day!
