lol what would you like to see differently? I haven’t heard anything about an update in a lonnnnnng while.

> Anyhow I should never come back except for my only thread there.

If a day comes by and I don’t witness a frozen reference made at least once, it’ll be the first time in forever.

I’d like the titles at the top of the page to actually fit in the area they’re supposed to :P. This has been driving me crazy for a long time.

Just got the Halo Minecraft Mash up pack… soooo cool.

The old layout essentially, it was so much better than the current one and a heck of a lot easier on the eyes.

> So, who all got Mario Kart 8 today?

I did. It’s pretty fun. I really like the new kart customization features.

You can’t even use the custom background script on this theme, does anyone remember that?

I have to agree.

The old one was easier to navigate in and a LOT easier on the eyes

It did decrease the load time as far as my computer goes.
But I still have to agree.

EDIT: Scratch that, had to use halo.xbox.com to find older version. I’ll put a few screenshots for those who need them in a minute.

EDIT2: Halo Waypoint Beta - 2011 | Halo Waypoint Official - March 30th 2012

I must say I’d take the 2012 version over the current one with some minor colour changes.

I found this

The same search results also gave me this

I don’t know if I should be worried or not

I like teh 2012 one teh most.

So I have 30/30 achievements for Spartan Assault on Xbox One but I just downloaded the game on 360 and I only have 11/28. I was told that almost all of them unlock… anyone know how to trigger the others to unlock?

The UI wasn’t likely what increased your loadtime with what we have now, it was likely an overhaul of all the backend stuff. The pre Halo 4 layout was near-perfect.

Perfect, was trying to find an image. Damn, I still can’t get over how much better it was than now.

So, who will download Dark Souls tomorrow for Free Games with Gold?

The old forum theme is nostalgic. It took them months to get a “jump to last post” button for this theme. This one just felt like a major downgrade.

@RulingSaucer2- Already have a physical copy. Want to get Artorias of the Abyss.

Three different ones huh? Am I right in assuming this is base 64. Been a while since I’ve tried to decode one of these.

Meant to make Halo 4 look like an Upgrade :D!

LOL

Whoa, it’s free tomorrow?! Whew I was literally about to go out and buy it! Well, I’m definitely gonna grab it!

Warning: Entering CoD Talk for next paragraph:
Just got out of the most fun I’ve had (and probably will ever have) in Ghosts. Met up with a group of randoms who all had mics, and we were able to escape like pros, with me nabbing 85 at the end (Completionist, Sprinter, No Man Left, and the one for escaping… yep, I had never escaped before). I will never play CoD again.
Sees he’s still missing the cheevo for searching a lot of items
-Yoink!-! Take that back!

So… it’s a beautiful in the neighborhood.
