Here are some more helpful tips form Certain Affinity on how to use scripting and timers in HMCC Halo 2 Anniversary’s Forge.
Pretty cool stuff. I really need to get back into this and play around…
Thanks to my bud Rhythmic Warrior for sending the link to me.

If you’re like me, you’re highly anticipating the Halo 5 Guardians Beta. The beta will bring us 7 maps in 3 game modes. Not all maps will be available at all times. These will be rolled out over the 3-week run. The beta starts December 29, 2014 and runs until January 19, 2015. Many fans, including myself hope that the beta will run longer. This as part of the promise from 343 to make up for the HMCC’s launch issues.
We’ll be able to vote for a weapon to use and later a map from the 7 to be put into rotation.
Spectator mode is something I expect a lot of people to use. I know I will. I’ve got a few Halo Pros either on my friends list or I’m following. So yeah, I’ll be dropping into spectator mode to watch them. There is a delay BTW folks, if you hadn’t heard. In order to prevent cheating, spectator mode will run slightly behind the actual game being played. In this way, anyone watching can’t make callouts to the team as they will likely become ineffectual by the time the team gets the callouts form the spectator.
HMCC woes aside, the Halo 5 Guardians Beta promises to bring we fans some refreshing new Halo experiences. Presumably, it will not run off of the HMCC engine, but will be something else entirely.
This could be good or bad. Good of course if everything works as intended. Bad if it doesn’t. And I don’t think 343 needs another bad thing, am I right?
Don’t forget that we unlock armor through the beta that will be available to use when the full game comes out next year.
What are you most looking forward to with the beta?

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:
The next time you log into Halo: The Master Chief Collection, you will be prompted to download the latest content update. This particular content update includes improvements for matchmaking, roster, parties, and more. Below, you’ll find a summary of the updates that are included in today’s update:
This year is the 5th Annual Halo Omnithon event in support of Child’s Play Charity.
What is Omnithon you ask?
Omnithon is a group that does gaming marathons to raise money for charity. A gaming marathon is where we play through a game or series of games, and stream it online while collecting donations for a cause we support, which in our case is Child’s Play Charity, which brings entertainment and hope to those in children’s hospitals. We’ve raised over $10,000 dollars with our prior marathons, and hope to raise even more going forward.
You can read more about Omnithon here and be sure to tune in here on Twitch.

The fifth and final part of Halo Nightfall is available to watch. I watched it very early this morning. Without giving anything away, I will say, I knew who would make it. It was apparent early on. Who stays behind, who dies. All of it made sense.
The issue with that is that it was too predictable.
Honestly, I don’t see how Nightfall plays into Locke becoming a Spartan. There is a sliver to get from this, but I won’t spoil that for you. Continue reading
