Sorry this being my first post since the 3rd, I have been busy lately and haven't had the chance to do much. Anyways, I'll start off by giving you an update on the CTF Foundry map. Well, I haven't given up on it, but I haven't been working on it lately. The one problem that has made me put it off for so long has been rather simple actually. I got the general layout of it done, but now I don't know what to do with the rest. I've got the back wall enclosed into the base, but that leaves the rest of the map open with nothing. See here I thought the spawns would be the hard part about making this map oh no, it's the map itself that is giving me fits... Only forging I did this weekend was make a little base on Avalanche to have sort of base wars with a friend. Compared to his base, mine was even could even barely qualify for an outpost on a cool map. Yeah so, yesterday I went back and fixed it up a little bit. Added some weapons on my side, ran out of a budget, removed somethings, added more and finally gave up and was happy with it. I think I still have the films of it and if I do, I might take some screenshots and post them.
Bungie changed the design of their site once again. This time it's a little less dark and more blue-ish. One of the things they added was a sort of box at the bottom of the page, some people like it, others don't and say it's a waste of space. I'm not a web designer or anything, but I think it looks cool. With the addition of the box at the bottom and a few other things, I think it has gotten much more easier to use the site. It's easy to navigate from a groups forum to the public forums with the new design. They also added a new auto-reply feature which I guess will be useful for people that are really popular or have Recon. I guess you can set it to where it automatically sends out a pre-typed(you type it up in your profile section) response or you can set it so that you can pick and choose who you send the auto response out to. I'll use it for the people who send out group invites, I seriously hate those things anymore. Yeah, I'll still read them and at least give the group a look at, but if you are just randomly spamming my inbox that is what I find annoying. I can't wait to see what kind of responses I will get from it. I just now need to think of a comeback for when they say something stupid.
Now, some of you may notice the column to the right(It's somewhere over there>) that there is a set of numbers, I'll explain the point of those. It's rather simple actually, each Sunday or Monday I will come and update it with how many kills until I have 1,000 with the Warthog turret. So far I have 71 to go before I reach this goal. I could of had more kills with it, but either other teammates took the hog and wasted it or didn't know how to drive. My friend I normally play with tried to drive me to a Perfection on a Big Team Slayer game on Avalanche. I thank him for the thought of getting one, but it's no big deal if I get one or not. Our run in the Warthog seemed to be very short, but it wasn't actually. I mean considering he got me 8, almost 9 straight kills at the start. I really don't know how we got killed anyways, there was no one around from what I could see. Anyways, the game went pretty good for the both of us, we both got double digit kills. Here's the link to the post game stats: here. We didn't do to well this weekend, but a lot of the losers were playing Big Team and sadly, we got them. All I wanted was one good multi flag game, but no, we get spawn killers and objective holders.
Now for some more Halo 3 related...stuff. So if you have recently been to Bungie.net you should of seen the recent weekly update that they posted. What do you all think of Sandbox now that it has more stuff to it? Not the simple forging map I thought it would, Crypt Grifball is going to be awesome. I don't know what I'll do with the map, but the first thing is going to be mess around with the new Killballs. I mean, you walk into them, you die, you drive/fly into them you die, what more could we do with them? Oh, I know one thing, Killball Wars! I really hope to see some great maps from the community when we get the maps, at least there better be. I'm still sort of one sided on which is my favorite map so far and that would be Orbital. I don't know if it is going to be symmetrical or asymmetrical or whatever, but it looks cool. I've always wanted another "in space" based map since I played Halo 1's Boarding Action and Halo 2's Elongation I think it is.
Anyways, that's all I got for now. Maybe I can get a post out within the next two weeks or so. Enjoy!

Yep, I plan on posting it here once I get it uploaded to my file share. As for weapons, no idea. Maybe have rockets in or near the middle. A shotgun somewhere for base defense, some BR's and other odd and ends in the actual bases.
