Congrats Zandril! You deserve to hold the title "Member of the Month"! You're an awesome forger and I hope you make this month very special! Welcome to the club!

Wait, this is a real thing? o_O I don't even... What? lol, well, congrats Aza! I guess this makes me the queen, right? 0_o

If one wants it like that, then its fine by me I'm buying the prize for the winner, its up to him/her to tell me which prize they would like to receive.

You've always been a good friend to me, and all of us, John. You deserve this title, because you are certainly... legendary. I hope you come back as a moderator soon! Gonna miss you being blue, but will have to get used to seeing you in yellow. You have your whole life ahead of you man, and I wish you best of luck. Thank you for being a great friend to all of us; you sir, are a legend.

Personally, I am getting the PS4. Both consoles pretty much have the same Specs, but in my opinion, PS4 has the better exclusive games. PS4: Daylight DC Universe Online Deep Down Don’t Starve DriveClub Final Fantasy XIV Galak-Z Infamous: Second Son Killzone: Shadow Fall Knack Mercenary Kings Octodad: Deadliest Catch Outlast The Order 1866 PlanetSide 2 Ray‘s The Dead Secret Ponchos The Witness Transistor Xbox One: Forza 5 Halo 5 Killer Instinct Minecraft One Crimson Dragon Dead Rising 3 Sunset Overdrive Quantum Break Ryse Titanfall D4 The PS4 is $100 cheaper. One big reason is that the PS4′s attachable camera, a rough equivalent to Xbox’s Kinect, is sold separately for $60. I’d prefer to have the choice and save the money. Microsoft is justifying the $499 price tag of the Xbox One by flagging the inclusion of Kinect as standard, while Sony is sticking to offering the PlayStation Eye as an extra peripheral (priced at $59). I’d argue that most gamers have no interest in motion-control, so cramming it down people’s throats is actually a bad thing. This difference in approach also suggests the PS4 is the console of choice for core gamers, with the Xbox One clearly embracing the casual crowd. I really don't want a new Halo. I want something different. Something new. Games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Infamous are all great games. I can play Titanfall on my PC. Microsoft only changed some of their problems because they saw what Sony was doing and how they were dominating them in pre-order charts. PS+ seems more reliable and has a lot of better features than Xbox Live, imo. I can also use the extra $100 I'm not using on the Xbox One for a new game and/or controller. All I saw at E3 for Microsoft was "TV TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV, and... Call of Duty: Ghosts." These are all just my OPINIONS. I love Halo, and I play that 93% of the time on my 360. But I mean, come on. Its not the Halo I grew up with anymore. Halo 5 looks promising, but so do a lot of the other Exclusive games on PS4. You have some good points, and i may buy an Xbox One when Halo 5 comes out, but PS4 is my choice for now.

You would get more points if you made an original map. A re-make is not highly suggested. :/

Whoa! Another awesome Wrapup, Drizzy! Keep em' coming! :3 As long as you make excellent posts like this, I really don't care if they're late. ^-^

It has to be a new map forged within July 20th and August 18th. It can be played with other gametypes. We're almost there

Pretty much everything BaconShelf said. A console (suggested: Xbox 360). A game (suggested: Halo 3, Reach, Halo 4). Body/voice actors. A capture card (suggested: Hauppauge HDPVR, costs a lot, but worth it). A good/powerful computer. An excellent microphone for voice acting. Video editor (suggested: Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Edit, NEVER Windows Movie Maker). A well thought out script. Maps forged and ready for custom games. Also, watch machinimas on YouTube. Learn from others (Arbiter 617, Digital Virus, etc) for inspiration. Try out some camera angles, listen to music (like Two Steps from Hell, Position Music, RipTide Music, Killer Tracks, Audiomachine, PostHaste Music, Zack Hemsey, Hans Zimmer, Ninja Tracks, Immediate Music). And most of all, remember to not give up. If you try hard enough, your machinima will turn out stunning and people will like it! Just keep going, and try your best while making your machinimas. ^-^ Hope I helped!

Restricted to Impact, Erosion, Ravine and Forge Island.

No, I'm sorry :c It wouldn't be fair to the people forging on a Blank canvas. :/

This is the Questions and Answers thread for the Forge Off contest. All questions & answers regarding the forge contest will be posted here.

I'll audition for the Colonel later man Sorry for not noticing this :/

... pointless? Personally, I make machinimas in both Reach and Halo 4, and although it is easier to make machinimas in Reach, its still possible and fun to make them in Halo 4. You have to learn to concur Halo 4's obstacles and problems. In my opinion, I made a great Halo 4 machinima about 2 months ago. I had problems, but I overcame them. I'm just struggling to see how making a Halo 4 machinima is "Pointless". Its fun, it entertains the viewers, you can make some pretty scary machinimas with the Flood, has tons of mods, and weapon lowering online (its limited, but its there). Sure, you have some good points here. But its not enough for me to say that making a Halo 4 machinima is "pointless." I mean come on, you have a map editor, Custom games, lots of mods, character customization, and better graphics. If I can make a Halo 4 machinima, anyone can. Btw: Spartans*, awkward*, you're*

Where's the "Love this" button at? xD Thanks Brony! This is an awesome sig! <3
