HMCC Forge Tutorial: Scripting from Certain Affinity.
Scott Maclean form Certain Affinity walks us through how to use scripting in the Halo 2 Anniversary Forge of the Halo Master Chief Collection. I have to say after watching this that there is an endless amount of potential for maps with this new scripting service that Certain Affinity has given to us.

McFarlane Halo 2 and E3 Master Chief figures quick review
It’s been some time since I’ve done a review for a McFarlane Halo action figure. This year McFarlane has only brought out the following two figures. It’s the Halo 2 Master Chief and the Master Chief form the 2013 E3 trailer.
I didn’t take either of these out of the package. It’s a rare instance when I do that. So these reviews won’t be all encompassing as I usually do, hence “quick” review. Continue reading
HMCC/H2A Forge Map Awash: Detailed forge/playable space (It’s HUGE!)
I was curious just how big the foregable/playable space was in Awash. Awash is a new Forge map in the Halo 2 Anniversary Forge portion of the Halo Master Chief Collection.
First things first, I went to the four corners of the map and placed a 1×1 block. BTW, the 1×1 blocks at 10ft square. Next I placed the large green grass tiles at the corners. Then to get the size of that, placed enough 1×1 blocks side by side on one of the sides of the grass tiles to get that measurement. It’s 30×30 (which is 300ft on one side). Continue reading
