Choot 'em

Welcome THFE to 343iCF!! Hope you enjoy your stay at the friendliest place on the internet! I have just been introduced to the wonderful world of Forge so, like Jester, hope you will offer a few training sessions. Help yourself to all the cookies you want but stay away from the Klondikes! See you around the forums!! - Choot

Oh Gawd!!! There goes the forums, lmao!! Congratulations guys!! Well deserved!!

hmmmm....maybe this is where the Composer comes into play. William may have been a test to bring back to life? Just a possibility. Or they went back in time and picked him up. Of course then there's the saying "Spartans never die. They're just missing in action!" Guess we will find out in a few months. Pretty much sums up the entire UNSC weapons and vehicles. Now if they could reveal a list like this for the Prometheans and Covenant! Really good find Azaxx!!

I believe the image of the Promethean Sniper is legit. I found the actual screenshot that the image in the article was pulled from. I got the image from Halowaypoint. It is a Spartan Ops mission screenshot posted under the images tab for Halo 4. Look at the Promethean Knight in the image. That weapon is alot longer than the Promethean Light Rifle. Here is the image posted in the article. And here is an image of the Light Rifle... There is a noticeable difference in the length and shape of the barrel. The Fuel Rod Gun on the other hand does in fact look fake, in my opinion, unless it is just an extremely poor quality image. And after thoroughly searching for an original image, I have produced 0 results. Thanks for the info Tallgeese!!

Another fun fact, especially for the new members... Twam's nickname by some is "Twammy-bear"!

Judging by his award, his favorite food is pizza!!

Twam keeps spilling his coffee on the server. You would think he would have learned by now!!

I know the feeling bud, I'm in the path as well. Time to polish up the piroque and paddle west. Wednesday will mark the 7th year since Katrina. I sure hope it's not a repeat. Good luck Equinoxe!

Like most ... Campaign first to continue the story of Master Chief. Then off to the first segment of Spartan Ops hopefully before the next set of missions release. Forge to recreate my contest map and check the different offerings it has. MM to check out the different maps. Really looking forward to where 343 is going with the story and how Spartan Ops will tie in with future installments!

Not quite what i'm talking about but this happens frequently to me as well. I'm talking about AFTER the map is saved and completed. The pieces don't save like they are suppose to. The "shifts" are minor but noticeable. When I go back into Forge mode to attempt an edit again, just grabbing the piece shifts it back into place but will not stay there when playing the map in a custom game.

So as the title suggests, in Halo: Reach Forge, I am having issues with Forge pieces shifting after a clean save. Upon save I go back into Forge mode to double-check placement of all of the pieces and they are fine. When I go to Custom game, pieces shift on their axis'. Now I have seen this in different variations such as a piece shifting up or down or even to the side. Though the shift is barely visible, I notice. *Side note - when Forging I always use the 90 degree snap lock feature to lock the pieces in place unless it's not possible to for rock or weapon placement or other aesthetic features. I guess this is more of a minor frustrating issue that I have encountered but an issue none-the-less. If anyone has any advice, I welcome it. - Choot

Developers already talking about the Halo series and next gen console. In a recent article found at CVG.... 343 discusses Halo 5's next generation potential. Studio will take advantage of any technological developments in the console space. Halo 4 isn't out until November, but that hasn't stopped new series developer 343 Industries talking about the game's successors. Photo credit: 343 Industries/Microsoft "While he was careful not to walk into the trap of directly discussing the likelihood of Halo 5 and Halo 6 appearing on Xbox 720, 343's lead game designer Scott Warner told the Independent that the studio would take advantage of any potential new console hardware when it comes to making future series entries. "I mean certainly as things develop, we have the advantage of working for a publisher and first party development, and if things happen we would certainly want to take advantage of those things," he said. "There's always kind of a careful balancing act between what you decide to improve upon, what you have that you think is really good, what's the great mixture of that to put you in the best position to be successful as a team. But certainly as things go on in development we have an advantage in the sense that we can cross those streams a bit." Warner added: "Obviously we're always attuned to new developments with what's happening internally and externally. "Our current development is all centred around the Xbox 360 and trying to harness everything we can get out of that box, so everything you're seeing is sort of custom built for the 360 experience. Obviously depending on what happens and develops with our company, we'll try to develop our technology and take advantage of it." Will 343 be able to live up to the standards set by series creator Bungie? Get our latest hands-on impressions in this Halo 4 preview. Microsoft has confirmed a Halo 4 release date of November 6."

I'm sure it's great that you're back but if you were a trusted member then you would also know that having a duplicate account is frowned upon by site Administration and Staff. You should also realize that you have just publicly announced you DO HAVE another account here. Don't worry though....they DO know who you are and DO have the authority to "delete/merge/moderate any account"!! Good luck!

Thanks AD! Word of advice for those attempting the Immunity icon challenge....bump the time up! My first attempt time ran out. Second attempt time ran out with a 30 minute setting, lmao! I will try again with unlimited time!

June's Forge contest map first, then remake the others i made. The duplicate and magnet features should speed up the Forge creative process.

A tribute to the members that started it all. Can you spot your Spartan?

I WILL design a Close Quarters forge map consisting of Scattershot vs. M45D just to test their strengths head to head! That is, after November 6!!

That's the Promethean Scattershot. Info on the weapon can be found HERE!! The shotgun in the video is the M45D Tactical shotgun issued to UNSC forces. Info can be found HERE!!

Dr. Catherine Halsey!! Intelligence, maturity, and hotness!!

Nice info AD!! Is the included content (armor, helmets, weapon skins) global or exclusive only to members across the pond?? Also a question about the "map pass", LE owners still have to purchase?? Thanks for the info AD!!

Lmao!! Yeah, all of my free time between diaper changes and feedings! Still can't believe nobody caught this sooner, lol!

Decisions....decisions. Which game mode to start with......makes head hurt!

Edited OP with article stating this is the final version. The other version was the placeholder.
