>Paint 3d
The hell is that?

>X
>not RB

3babby pls

It's some of my /hg/ fanart. Here is one of my 2 big gay dad's, Sigmund and red.

Is it a bad thikng that I think this level works fine as an opener?
Ill admit the QTEs are bad, but overall it doeant ruin the mission for me.

Sigmund is looking pretty thiccc breh

The level itself is fine.
What's not fine is that it counts as one of only 8 levels in the game.

Holy shit, we're actually gonna make #400

>Holy shit, we're actually gonna make #400
Yup and we still won't have the helmet

How are we gonna celebrate?

By collectively redacting a well-written letter for 343, politely asking for Bonnie's nudes.

cuck

It's still a little early to start planning anything, but someone had a pretty good idea earlier about having each Spartan with an emblem next to them. Wizards has a good pic tyo showcase. I don't think I have it though.

2v2 tournament roster update:
>THE ONE BIG RED
>xBackup Beastx
>Mad L3pr3chaun
>KingMiniBlock

That's 16, which is all we need. More are welcome, but this is all we need to start.
There are no hard start times, but the first round of matches will begin the first weekend in November.

This image is more jpeg than I remembered

Cool. Someone should stream the matches.

NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER

Placing bets now. I'm putting two thousand dollars on me loosing in the first round.
Any takers?

Depends on who you get paired with

Here is some more /hg/ fanart, this one display one of the more dramatic moments in our history. Broken hearts, passion, and lies.

Hmm

Where is Droid, C0, Wizards, and Kai?

A masterpiece

>Droid, C0
Declined to enter
>Wizards
Wont enter if its Halo 5, which it is
>Kai?
Hasn't given a straightforward answer. Sounding like a no.

Cucks

Not really. Droid for instance is just too swamped with work, which is understandable. When I was in school I couldn't work and be a student at the same time so the fact that he can manage it I respect.

Fuck off namefaggot

What did he mean by this?

So I have some ideas for the 2v2 tourney.
16 people is a lot for a singles tourney, but that's only 8 teams in a 2v2. Maybe do away with the single elimination?

>Maybe do away with the single elimination?
How would that be done?

Each team plays 3 teams. Their W/L record determines who moves on, not just a single match

Vuper here. 8 bit is a joke and you must all be either autistic or idiots. Make me leader and I'll fix this horrid general

That could work, but what if some teams tie their record?

>That could work, but what if some teams tie their record?
Then it comes down to margin of victory, or the teams that tie face off.

If anyone wants to request some /hg/ fanart I am ready to do some!

So I checked the archive and the previous one was "8-Bit" with a dash, so this is technically a new title.

I didn't know Kai was MLG

Whoa

>MLG
>Halo
It's not 2010 anymore, kiddo

Did reach have MLG?

Yeah. Armor Abilities were map pickups

youtube.com/watch?v=S73qwIi5YrI
yes

>tfw watching Str8 Rippin get demolished

Didn't expect this feel

Why didn't he just armor lock?

I'm honestly more interested in Halofest than a 2v2 tournament

Halofest is december

Boo

this just reminded me of when Pistola punched a wall out of retard-frustration and couldn't play a tournament because of the injury. lol

>Red back in the discord
>a mod no less
I thought he was /our guy/

I made someone a promise. I will never stop fighting for /hg/. As a mod I have better tools to do that now more than ever.

>I will never stop fighting for /hg/

>I will never stop fighting for /hg/
Red for President

Move Halofest to late november

Maybe

Give Halo to Rooster Teeth

>Give Halo to Rooster Teeth

You cucks he's playing you

Anyone up to try the Halo 3 throwback playlist with me? Yes, I know it's been up for a while, but this is my first time logging into Halo 5 in nearly a month.

I'LL be on later tonight

Holy shit this is worse than Locke v chief

Halo

?

...

Literally every team has a carrier and an anchor

999 is pretty good. Him + dog would beat any other team

No he isn't. He's fucking awful.

We did a singles game on the pit and he beat everyone else

Oh shit

>Smegums and Backup on the same team
Hmmm

Am 999. Can confirm I suck.
Sorry Dog.

oh shit. we should do team names, Im in "Fantastic Big Red D"

...

Team Kemono Friends

Team Muted

Team Fantastic Big Red D

Team Dank Fire

Team Parental Negligence

Team Admin Abuse

Team Webm Bait

Team Skylor
