Popular Post RedStarRocket91 Posted October 1, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 "Halo - It's finished!" "No. I think we're just getting started." They're back. As most of you have noticed, it's been some time now since our weekly custom game playdates were running, and even longer since the days of full lobbies and lengthy play sessions. Some of you no doubt thought that they were gone forever - that we'd given up on the dwindling lobbies and decided that there was no point in continuing, that with so few of our members able to attend we'd chosen to focus our energy on finding other ways to interact with the community. But here at 343industries.org, we're nothing if not resilient: our staff saw in the ever-shrinking numbers of players not a fate to be accepted, but a challenge to be overcome. We knew that even if the existing system of lobbies weren't working, the one thing you can guarantee about a forum full of Halo fans is that if there's one thing they all love, it's playing Halo with their friends and fellow members. And so instead of simply shrugging off our playdates as a failure, we set out to make them better than ever, to make them so good that they would be completely unmissable. Introducing the Future. From now on, instead of just holding a playdate where you can get together with your fellow forum-goers for a few rounds of Halo every weekend, we'll be announcing a small number of individually-chosen, specially-selected Community Events every month. We've put a huge amount of work into exploring every corner of the Halo fandom to compile a collection of the finest maps, minigames, and content for use in our new Community Events, and we're going to continue to add to that with new ideas and material every single day. From now on, interacting with the community won't just be restricted to playdates every week: instead, while the opportunity to kill your fellow members for points will most certainly be returning, we also have a whole slew of new contests, tournaments, and prize giveaways that we can't wait to introduce, covering every aspect of the Halo universe: regardless of whether you want to take on Halo's gamer elite in a fast and fair competitive setting, forge masterpieces worthy of the Forerunners themselves, or delve into the mysteries of the expanded universe, we have something that you're going to love. To inaugurate our new programme, we'll be giving you the chance to directly thank those who've been working on it for the past few weeks as the infamous Halo 4 Staff vs Members playdate makes its glorious return. This first event begins on Saturday, October 19th 2013 at 3pm CST (9pm GMT) We hope you'll come along and participate in the first of our new Community Events. And if you're already looking forward to that as much as we are, then you'll be even more amazed when you see what comes next!

Victory Element Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hopefully I can make an appearance at the staff v members playdate. Its good to know that community events are returning, even though I am normally never there because of my schedule. And I'd like to see the staff team play without GSD for a few. I will admit that he is quite the halo player, but the staff won't be able to hold themselves together without him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Staff is going down. In my third Staff Vs Members Event I cannot give up my legacy of killing my own Staff brethren!

Spyro Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 What's this? A chance to talk big and then get slaughtered by GSD? I'm in! I will be there! You know, unless something comes up and I can't attend. Like usual. But THIS time! I'm sure nothing will happen to prevent me from attending and aiming only for GSD!

Cooliest Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Glad to see that while I was at work this attracted so much attention. Heck I'll even be honest, more attention than I originally thought it would. Also when you asked if another staff member wanted to post it to get all the likes I should have taken the offer. But in all seriousness, I'm glad we choose you to write it because I have never seen a more beautiful and well put together Community Event Thread. Great work RSR. And sadly I will not be there to whoop on Smelly Bnus, Punny Sparky, Safe D-38, Red Member BZ, and Unbiased OMEGA. But just know that I will be there in spirit smacking you around with my Grav Hammer of love. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
