Choot 'em

Be sure to be well prepared Aza!! Exams can be killer if caught slacking a bit, lmao! Good luck!! Oh and I just noticed that most responders in the post are sporting the pink ribbon!

Right click the Ribbon in the OP » properties » copy url. Thanks for the support guys!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. As well as providing a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease, BCAM is also a prime opportunity to remind women to be breast aware for earlier detection. Let us show our support here at 343iCF by wearing the pink ribbon for the month of October! I have created a special ribbon for use in signatures and avatars! Simply copy and paste the image in your signature to show your support! I will also be using a special signature designed specifically for the month of October! Choot

Congratulations on Dedicated Zag! Keep up the good work and thanks for your many contributions!

Thanks Darkness!! Thanks TsicksSense, you're more than welcome to use it in a playdate! I don't mind at all Biggs and thanks for the compliment and welcome back! It's not perfectly symmetrical because of the side rock wall in Quarry, that's why I considered it to be "semi" symmectrical, lol. Thanks Mayh3m! Thanks Cry0G3n1c! Image quality is a must for me, lol! All feedback and critique is welcome! If something doesn't flow quite right, please feel free to let me know so I can make the necessary changes! - Choot

I've always enjoyed reading your posts Red so they will be missed along with your presence here. Take care of what needs to be taken care of and see you when you return. - Choot

Itz Vplus2 is not a politician. He is a dedicated Halo player and dedicated member of 343iCF. He is running for USF President for one reason only - to do the right thing for the people of our great community and all fans of Halo. Itz Vplus2 will not ask for or accept any campaign contributions. He wants to help change the way our USF President's role operates - even if that means moving from "Dedicated" member to USF President. And yes, even if it means the Presidential position to which he now hopes to be elected becomes eliminated. What's best for our community is what Itz Vplus2 will support. Remember... "Itz Vplus2 = YOU!!...He is the TruthBringer!!" Oh and in case it hasn't been added.... I vote for V!!!!

Awww shucks Zelda!!

Here's a little something ...

Great job ςHϵAƨϵMΩηεTΞr!! It is a great milestone to achieve, especially with good quality posts! You've thrown a few spuds at me in the shoutbox but I guess i can forgive you!! Next time I'll just have to Choot 'em before they hit me, lmao!! Keep up the good work ςHϵAƨϵ!!

Beautiful map Robius! Love the attention to detail. Definitely captures the AC feel, lol! Already sent to xbox to be downloaded upon signing in to Reach.

Thanks for the positive feedback Robius! I was only able to work on the map a few hours a week, but that actually allowed more thought to be applied to the finished map and the direction I wanted to go with it. I'm actually glad I didn't submit the map for the contest because testing revealed some flaws in playability and flow. This was my first attempt at Forge Invasion so I was creating blind, lol! I did get a chance to view the screens of your AC PB map and loved the detail put into it! I have it set to download next time I sign in to Reach and look forward to playing on it. Thanks Robius!!

Gamertag: Choot at OGGC Map: [PB]_Snakehead_Castle Gametype: [PB]_Purple_Bunker_DV_(Destructible_Vehicles_Enabled) I would like to start off by saying this is my very first invasion gametype map I've created and only my fourth completed map. It is also the first map I created that used the entire budget in Forge. It was originally meant to be submitted in the THFE Forge Contest but because of my schedule and other time constraints, I didn't get it completed in time. I actually learned alot about the Invasion gametype while creating Snakehead Castle and want to personally thank THFE for initially offering the contest to 343iCF's community. Complete overview of map from start to finish. Elites begin attack from right side of map. Map located on "The Island" area of Forge World. Description: This map is meant to be played with a custom variant of the Purple Bunker gametype >>> [PB]_Purple_Bunker_DV with 8 - 16 players in mind. I really wanted to use the vehicle explosive effect in Phase 3 so I enabled "destructable vehicles". Will probably play well with less than 8 players, but haven't fully tested with low player count. Attacking team consists of Elite's with Energy Sword, invulnerability, and reduced movement speed. The defending team consists of Spartans with Concussion Rifles and Needlers only, invulnerability, and reduced movement speed. Three respawn zones are selectable at each phase. All labels and spawns are working correctly. Phase 1: Charge the Towers Time to complete: 2:00 minutes Zone capture time: 5 seconds Elites begin at their campground and attempt to capture the zone between the initial Guard Towers being protected by the Spartans from above to progress to the next phase. Charging area has scattered cover with explosive plasma batteries that attempt to slow your progression. Capturing the zone initiates the first teleporter near the rear of the capture zone. Spartans attempt to alleviate any threats from atop the Guard Towers. **Warning** - To show my love of teabaggers, I am offering a free dose of "CDS"! (crouching death syndrome) Also, any attempt to wander off of the platforms will result in DEATH!! Tested extensively! :crazy: Phase 2: Breech the Passageway Time to complete: 2:00 minutes Zone capture time: 5 seconds In the second phase, the Elites attempt to capture the zone located just below the second defense platform to unlock the door that leads to Snakehead Castle. Like in phase one, the path to the capture zone has scattered cover with explosive plasma batteries that attempt to slow your progression. The passageway is blocked by a locked door. Capturing the zone unlocks the door leading to the final phase. The second teleporter leading to phase three can be found beyond the doorway entry. Defending Spartans are now located atop the second defense platform above the capture zone. **Warning** Any attempt by the Spartans to wander from the platform will result in death, as well as any attempt by the Elites to climb the rock surface to reach the platform. Spartans should not pass RED COLORED posts. Phase 3: Seize Snakehead Castle Time to complete: 2:00 minutes Zone capture time: 5 seconds The third phase is the one I had the most fun creating and the main reason I decided to enable destructible vehicles in the [PB] Purple Bunker gametype. Once entering phase three, Elites attempt to seize the castle with the added difficulty of avoiding random exploding vehicles. Final objective lies at the base of Snakehead Castle. Spartans now attempt to defend from inside the castle walls on the second level of Snakehead Castle. **Warning** Attempting to drop down from defense postition will result in death. The path leading to the final objective has more explosives for the Elites to contend with. Snakehead Castle. I hope you enjoy playing the map as much as I enjoyed creating it. Any feedback and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! I would also like to thank Absolute Dog for the patience and time it took to get me involved in Forge World. - Choot

Congratulations Spartan D!

Due to questionable activities as described HERE!!, I must withdraw my name from the nomination process, lmao! Seriously.....*jedi wave*... "You don't want me as Forum President....I'm not the nominee you were looking for...Move along...move along..."

Thank you for all of the time and effort put into the site. Farewell and Godspeed! - Choot

I learned that LASO is not for me, lmao!
