I love forging! I also didn’t really get into Halo 4, so I didn’t do any screenshots or forge any stuff. I like doing forge art, stuff that is simple and fun!

Here is some of my stuff that I did in the past:

Halo: Reach
-GraveYard
-Comic
-Shakespeare
-This got featured here on waypoint, I didnt have a name for it. It was called Through the fire. I think…
-Another one that got featured, but on bungie.net, it was for that screenshot contest for the star nameplate.

Halo 3
-Scorpion
-Sand demon

I didnt do a whole lot for Halo 3, I was just getting the hang of things and I continually sucked. lol. But this is all the stuff that I am pretty happy I did.

This might be a stupid question, but are these pre-order skulls something that is just activated without having to pick them up in a campaign or are they actual exclusives?

Good night everyone.

I made a thread asking to be able to collect the skulls, now seeing this… Has me worried that there won’t be any collecting to be done: In Halo 5.

Also, this is kind of weird… Skulls as a bonus for pre-ordering the game. Really, really, weird.

It’s for the Master Chief Collection though, not Halo 5, unless I read something wrong.

Hey, I’m a Marine-Iron! Not some Recruit anymore!

Oh, I remember that one! It had Mr. Gruntly in it! Don’t ask me how I remember that.

On the way back from a grad party (that was mind-numbingly boring), I saw something that broke my heart.
On the side of the road, or rather, making it’s way to the side of the road, was a deer. Oh, a deer. Whoa. Big whoop.
But, the poor thing must’ve been hit by a passing car, because it wasn’t using it’s legs.
Using it’s body’s power, it was trying to get across the road. I don’t know how else to explain… it was like doing ‘The worm’. It was so sad… poor thing.

Really… 'Oh no, the deer population is blooming! We need to go out and pump them full of lead! Because if we don’t, they’re gonna take over our habitat, kick us out of our habitat, and then hunt us down and run us over! We need to thin the herd! BECAUSE MANKIND HAS NO -YOINK-ING HEART"

I’ve never understood the point of hunting peaceful animals. Larger, more violent animals like bears and crocodiles I can kind of understand. But why brag about killing something that literally just sits there, minding it’s own buisness by eating grass?

Seriously, can you say “to kill a mockingbird”?

> Hey, I’m a Marine-Iron! Not some Recruit anymore!

Congrats!

@ Varmah52 and ComicBeast1212: D: That’s so sad! Shoulda put it out of its misery :frowning:

Also, hunting is a tradition left over from our hunter gatherer days. It’s not completely useless. A lot of people hunt to provide low-cost food to their families. Those that hunt purely for sport… If you’re not gonna use it, why take it?

I have the utmost respect for life. The power over life and death is one of the most sacred things that someone could ever take into their hands. Just today I had to prepare myself for the possibility as I lay in the prone with an M249 waiting for a breach that never came. It’s not something that I enjoy, but in many different situations it is critical to self-preservation.

Today I saw a spider. That was pretty intense.

But in all seriousness, I commend your bravery. People can say whatever they want, but it takes a lot to put yourself in harms way for others. You have my support.

LOL

I don’t consider it bravery. The brave are the ones who give everything. I’m just here, doing my job. Nevertheless, I appreciate your support :slight_smile:

looks at varmah’s spider

pulls out big -Yoink- knife

stabs spider

Spider dead, you should see what I do with mice and wasps.

Hey, I have a phobia of wasps.

Can you swing by anytime soon with that knife of yours?

And you have my sword.

What, wat?
No, seriously. It takes courage to do that kind of stuff. You have my respect. And…

I WAS EXPECTING THAT JOKE.

But yeah, spheksophobia really sucks. I’m just terrified of any flying bug. With spiders, they’re grounded, meaning if you’re so scared of it, back away. But flying insects have aerial superiority, meaning if one’s flying about, you need some anti-air cannons to knock those buggers out of the air.

I’ve been playing Team Slayer all day, and so far, the only maps I’ve played on have been Haven and Adrift.

Haven, Haven, Adrift, Haven, Adrift, Adrift, Haven, Adrift, Haven, Haven, Adrift, Adrift, Haven, Haven, Haven, Adrift, Adrift, Haven, Haven…

Anyway, after my most recent game, some guy told me to “suck a -Yoink-”. Mmmhm.
It’s just because my team was too good for him :stuck_out_tongue:

Those are the only maps that like, ever come up. With the addition of Solace. Surprised you didn’t get that one.

But I’m surprised at how hostile some people can be. Back when I first got the Halo 4 DLC, I had no idea how to play it. (Because there wasn’t a way.) So, when I saw somebody with DLC achievements (when you check their gamer card; yes, I’m that stalk-ish.), I’d message them asking how to play.

And the only answers I ever got when they responded were stuff like ‘Watch who ya ask, -NAUGHTY,NAUGHTY WORD HERE-’ :\

But I’ve gotten the same you have at least three times. One was something about me being that annoying active camo guy (when I didn’t use the loadout), even though he was ‘that guy’ who would always get his kills right after he died using randomly chucked plasma 'nades.

I dunno why but that DLC story made me laugh.

Oh, yeah, um… right… uh, ‘that guy’, yeah…

I don’t know, the rager said something about my team using nothing but Snipers? Which they were. But it’s strange that he sent it to me, since I didn’t use the Sniper the entire game! I didn’t have any association with my teammates either.

I leave you guys with some cat choreography.

Have a good night everyone!
