Please welcome another Community Moderator to the ranks of staff. He is also known as a quality and well spoken member. He created his account while in an combat environment in Iraq and would at times be with us in the shout box when a mortar attack take place. He has maintained a steady and quiet demeanor and holds the respect of all members. Please welcome DocSpartan 0O7 as our newest Community Moderator!

Known for his Swedish accent, his love for forge and most importantly....his is well known as another one of our solid and well spoken members, minus that friggin' accent, with no pretense about himself at all. Without further ado......welcome our newest Community Moderator skummgummigubbe :animier: :animier: All hail Skum...or he will smite thee with his neweth hammer.

Hailing from the far away country of Scotland, with it's warm sunny days and mild winters and where a single malt is not a milk shake, comes a man who has set a benchmark of what quality membership can be. His OP's are some of the best written ones in the forum, his responses to others is always intelligent, well written and free of any the unnecessary words that tend to incite argument. Seems like such a simple way to post, yet very few share this quality. He has been present at some of our funnest play dates, even chauffeuring me around while I gunned down a hoard of enemy soldiers (He can drive). With out further ado.......I give the name as our newest MOM, RedStarRocket All members please give RSR a warm and resounding 343i.org "Congratulations"!

Normally you would go to Waypoint, but as the site is down in the area you need to access it does not matter. You can always access it via your account in Halo 4 on XBL.

Actually "D" this was an entertaining read. I can just see you and your expressions as you answer the questions. lol

For a fact this forum is not causing Halo 4 to fall apart. I understand that you are only 11 years old, but there are some realities that you need to hear if you are going to criticize the members of this forum. One: Halo 4 was shipped to the customers as an unfinished game, period. They are attempting to finish the game as we play it, but many players have been upset. Two: Fans have every single right to criticize a company for a product that they have spent hard earned money on. Three: I know you, hopefully, did not intend to insult or put down those who have negative criticisms, yet you can not let others views on the game change yours if you love the game. This forum discusses the Halo series. Many of us have been fans of this game since before you were born. I mean nothing bad by that, just think bout how long we have played and been fans. The fans are not what hurts the game. I am sorry if you feel finding out about others dislikes has caused you any discomfort, but this is the way things are.

This video from Bungie says it all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aJiSPaVVgrE

Actually we can do something. Waiting around for 343 Industries to save the community is not the answer. The community must reach out and find what is good. We have an incredible amount of talent within our forge community and they create and endless supply of great maps, interesting game types and we have a great resource in scheduling custom games at our disposal. You have the opportunity to play so many different styles of games, be it old school with no AA's, load outs, etc. and weapons on the maps. You can use the current games types and enjoy an endless supply of competitive maps and there are new game types being created by our forge community every single day.

I will add some more content to explain it when I can locate the material and copy it here.

I will be playing this when it hits. It will definitely be a good game done right!

Welcome to the community Lucas. Look forward to getting to know you. Take your time to look around and meet the different members.

What kind of map are you looking to build?

Maybe try this thought on for size. Being that this is a science fiction based game and that it is a given in many sci-fi based story lines that projectile based weapons work well against alien based life forms. An example would be Star Gate 1, SG1. Even though alien life forms have advanced weaponry, no "cannon' exists for the whole of science fiction. The game originally came with weapons based off of actual weapons used in today's armies, minus the shoulder fired laser. By comparison to your OP you could also ask why we are not fighting with remote operated androids, or why the Chief's armor has to weigh so much figuring the advancements made by this time period. This is the beauty of fiction, it is what the author of it creates.

I will try to test this with you. My list is full, but am going to make a GT for myself to handle more members from the community as I play with a large number of them and tend to host numerous play dates.

Where do I begin......first, sorry you had to play against a modder, but it is rare. Second, it is a reckless thing to say this revolves around the French in the manner you have. Maybe a reactionary comment? Third a video of the events would have at least added some weight to this post. With all do respect I am locking this thread to contain what would certainly be some very negative posts.

I personally have handed out a few to other players, but have yet to get a 'cool' one. My style of play does not lead to many assassinations. When I finally pull one off I will post it up either here or in a montage.

The lighting budget refers to the amount of your forge budget you can use before Dynamic Lighting is affect negatively. This budget differs from the actual budget a forger sees on screen. Warholic has spent the time to figure out this important information.

I hereby and indubitably nominate one of our fellow brethren for the running in the elections being held here in the 343 Industries Community Forum for the office of Forum President. My nomination is for SuperIntendant God save the Queen....I mean it really someone save the Queen before SI gets to her. He is an animal!

Really nice work Fatal. I appreciate your bringing this to us and welcome to the community.

This is a list of the lighting budgets per forge map. This list was compiled compiled by Warholic and originally posted at Halo Customs. Warholic's itemized Dynamic Lighting schedule.

We had a good laugh at this one...........

Okay, now my response and the opening of this thread again. First off, if any member of this or any forum is tired of seeing players and fans state their displeasure with this game then you might as well do like an ostrich and put your head in a hole, seriously. Every single fan of this game has the right to their opinion. They have bought, played, supported, gone without sleep for days playing, made countless friends in game, dreamed about, seen any form of the number 117 in any environment, know the Halo music better than any other music, sweated over competitive ranked games, laughed during casual play and a thousand other types of experiences have been felt by all of us. If they are unhappy they have the exact same right and opportunity to post their feelings. If you are not able to carry on a polite, constructive and/or mutually respectful debate with someone who does not share the same opinion as you do, then it is you who are wrong and you who needs to take a look in the mirror. Fans, real fans, maybe much bigger fans of the game than those who like Halo 4 and defend it at all costs, are being real about what they feel. Turning a blind eye, or ear, to the obvious does nothing to help. Artificially propping up something that is broken or unfinished does not make you a better fan. Seeing the reality and speaking to it in an open and mature way is what really matters and is what is needed. Having conversations between two different viewpoints should be seen as a positive, not a negative. A forum full of like minded people is not a forum, it is a fan club. This is not a fan club. We support 343 in it's efforts to carry on with the franchise, but that does not mean we will drown out any who disagree with a game or the direction the company takes with it. Criticism, both positive and negative, is what improves a product, a service or in this case a game. Think about things before you respond here in the future. P.S. I have removed some off topic and nonsense posts.
