Choot 'em

UNSC: Infinite Bloodline Covenant: Paternal Nightwatch Oh well, I like 'em, lol!!

Welcome to the forums Sean! I've seen your graphic work in the Logo Competion and briefly spoke via PM. Seems like you've got the site navigation down but if you have any questions or need direction for a specific inquiry, please feel free to ask! We are a friendly place! Look forward to your thoughts and ideas! - Choot

Though I like the idea of additional vehicles in the Halo MM setting, the only logical placement of the two mentioned would be in BTB. Though the Vulture and Locuct would be a nice addition, not gonna happen in H4 unless already written in the script, sorry. Halo 4's release is right around the corner so 343 is trying to get things wrapped up and work out the kinks (if any) so they can deliver an exceptional final product. I personally look to see more advanced vehicles in H5 and 6, hopefully the addition of Forerunner vehicles but for Halo 4, I think we've seen the bulk of what will be offered and would NOT want a delay so vehicles can be added. Hurry November 6!!

Pretty good story Mayh3m!! I am definitely looking forward to where this particular adventure leads, lol!

Indeed I did Bullet! As for the other retired staff, I still stick to my opinion on this. Pretty much along the same lines of reasoning behind making the current Staff and MoM ineligible. Should apply to ALL Staff....retired, quit, or fired. Just my opinion.

Sounds good to me Bullet!! Could even give a little incentive for newer members to really get involved more in the forums as well! Thanks for the update! I would also like to add that "Retired Staff" be ineligible as well!!

Very interesting and informative interview Drizzy!! I am very proud to say that I am a part of the DGL and one of it's founding members Doc!! Although I believe I am currently ranked last, lmao! I have really enjoyed all of the matches that I have played. I am not competitive enough to actually win, so even when I'm losing you will hear me laugh. It's all about having fun! I find it very amusing watching the ragdoll physics of the dead Spartans, especially my own, lmao! I am also looking forward to Season 2 Doc! Know that I WILL be there for that one for sure!! Keep up the good work Drizzy! Love these interviews!

I'm actually looking forward to the thruster pack! I liked how the Spartan "glides" across the terrain, lol! Will have a better opinion about it upon release when I can actually get some playtime with it! I could see it being very useful when coming from behind a player then disengage for an assassination, lmao! Nice find V!!

Welcome to the forums Rookie! Nothing to be scared of here.....except maybe the Site Moderators. Spectral Jester is pretty cool but that Absolute Dog tends to be a bit grouchy, especially to newcomers!. Just kidding Rookie! Enjoy your time here and look forward to seeing your thoughts and ideas! Any questions, feel free to ask!!

Pretty good post there V Hoping one day you'll catch up to me As long as you continue to post the way you do We will always know... iTz Vplus2!! :dj: Congratz!!

Pssssfffft.......yeah whatever, lmao!!!

Welcome to our humble abode mechanikilla! We pride ourselves at being the friedliest place on the net. Yes we do have rules that should be followed but are very forgiving. Enjoy your stay!!

Yeah it is pretty funny and the beat is pretty groovy!! I keep getting this when trying to access the "Forums" tab, lol.

I share Zag's view on this, it is a great honor to be nominated! Congratulations to all others that made the list!

While the aesthetics of the armor is a nice customization option, having more dlc armor added to the massive armory already in H4 (whether it's full armor or just skins) would just make the armory too cluttered. 343 DID listen and added more armor options like the fans asked for but when is it enough? Instead of investing valuable time in creating more armor, use that time creating more MM maps or really get creative with Spartan Ops missions. There is more to Halo than just armor.

I actually like this idea and have thought about it before. The axis coordinates on larger pieces (and some smaller ones) gets kinda wacky when attempting to rotate near the Forge surface so I would like to see a "Highlight All" or "Select All" option. This would enable a Forger to create a larger piece of the map, such as a base or fort, higher in the air then select the ENTIRE forged creation and move to the desired location in Forge World. The "undo last move" option would come in handy as well, especially when you grab the wrong piece to delete, lmao! The new Highlight option in H4 will help alleviate this problem. Nice random thought Zauce!

I don't believe the maps have been voted on yet. Should be coming up shortly. Alot going on in the forums with additions and changes. Be patient, we must!

I never cared too much for CTF. Played it mostly because that was the gametype voted on. Looks like 343 made some drastic but very good changes, especially the ability to defend yourself with a weapon, albeit the magnum. Better than no weapon at all, lol! CTF actually sounds interesting now and I will definately give it a try!

Yeah baby! Mark VI is by far my favorite armor! Hopefully it's unlockable by completing campaign solo only. Co-op would make it too easy to unlock, lol. I'm still hoping for 343 to announce the Mark VII for H4 since it was introduced in one of the books. Thanks for the info Jester!

Yes it does seem 343 is pulling out all of the stops on this one and from all of the footage seen to date, one of the latest videos shows Master Chief laying face first on the ground, as if by defeat. (right before Cortana says "Never make a girl a promise you can't keep") I believe that's the first time his character is actually shown vulnerable. But I know that it's all in 343's plan to show his humanity. He is "Master Chief" afterall. It will be epic to be a part of his great rise after he has fallen, to overcome unrelenting odds that are layed in front of him... He WILL "Finish the fight!" once again!!

A link would have been sufficient but thanks for posting the actual video Psychoduck!! Really good job on the video, answers alot of questions!! Thanks again!

Thank you all!! *wipes tears whilst changing a spoiled diaper* lmao!! You guys are the absolute best!! I still have to get use to the pink name, lol!! For more visit... http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/13524-mom-september-2012/?do=findComment&comment=145733 - Choot

*Walks to podium...clears throat* It seems a great honor has been bestowed upon me this month and I was instructed to present an OP for the title that I have been so graciously chosen to receive. The day had been a normal day, frequently checking the forums for specific updates on previous posts I made. Trying to get answers to questions I had about Halo 4 and all of it's offerings. Then I received replies to a few PM's I had sent out earlier in the day. In the first PM was a VERY unexpected reply, first thanking me for a offering assistance and then immediately below, congratulating me for being chosen MoM!! I had no idea what he was talking about so I scrolled up to the original message to check for myself. There it was, in place of the "Dedicated" member group that I had been so accustomed to seeing...."Member of the Month"!! I have always enjoyed being a member of 343iCF and being in the company of such a fine community. I have always contributed what I could, without reward or recognition. For the members, by a member. It's not often that someone can say they are both MoM and a Dad, lmao! Now I can! I have made many friends over the past year and look forward to what the future holds for 343iCF. Now I would like to personally thank ALL members of the Staff for believing that what I contribute is enough for the consideration of being chosen MoM and ALL of the wonderful members here at 343iCF. May you continue making this site a magnet that draws more people in to continue site growth and always remember that we are all here for one reason.... HALO!! To Absolute Dog. A legend of 343iCF, mentor to so many, and a great personal friend. You have always been there for support and guidance. I am proud to say that I was here when you were promoted to Community Moderator and here when you made your triumphant return as Site Moderator. Thank you for everything my friend! To Spectral Jester. You were always there to answer any questions concerning the site, fully supportive of my ideas and suggestions, and immediately welcomed me to the site. I still look forward to the day we can meet up on XBL for some good old fasion choot 'em up! Your friendship is greatly appreciated! To imakequilts. You have always met challenges head on, have admired persistance, an AWESOME quilter, and one heck of a Halo player. I WILL get those Klondike bars back, lmao!! Thank you for your friendship and company! To Drizzy_Dan. Thank you for the vote of confidence that kept me from making that dreadful regrettable decision. Not sure if it's still customary for a MoM to bring forward one suggestion that could be reasonably implemented as a site feature... "I suggest a "Showcase Video" to be displayed below the shoutbox on the forum page. Used to showcase current videos of Halo, machinimas, tutorials, tournament matches, and other 343iCF site related contest videos." I don't consider myself worthy of such a title. I just contribute what I can out of pure enjoyment but I graciously accept the title of MoM and leave you with a few eloquent words.... "I will proudly walk the path of chosen MoM, holding my head high with dignity and honor as a member of 343iCF"... Now everyone clean those rooms, tidy up the beds, and get those chores done or no Halo for you!! LMAO!! Thank you ALL!!! - Choot

...and where do I find said video?? Thanks!

I personally would like to see a tutorial on spawn placement, number of spawns, and detail in properly setting up "Weak Spawn" and "Anti Spawn" zones and which are best suited for certain areas of a map. Also maybe give a detailed description of each forgeable spawn property and how they react to the Forge environment. Thanks!! - Choot
