Community Member of the Week: Furiousn00b
Every Monday, we feature a community member who does one or more of the following things: routinely goes above and beyond for their fellow forum members, is a positive and active member of the community, and/or sends me mass amounts of cat pictures. This week our Community Member of the Week is Furiousn00b. Read a little more about this particular fan below, then hit their profile to learn even more!
Gamertag: Furiousn00b.
Origin of Gamertag: I got an original Xbox for Christmas one year that came with Halo: CE and a trial Xbox LIVE Gold code. Going with the assumption that I would test the waters of Xbox LIVE with a throwaway account, I tried to create the Gamertag “noob” – no dice, already taken. One of the recommended alternatives was Furiousn00b – it was settled. My “throwaway” account now has a tenure of 9 years!
Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Halo 4, Halo 4 ARG.
Favorite map: Halo 2’s Headlong or Turf.
Favorite game type: Slayer.
Favorite playlist: Team Slayer / Big Team Slayer.
Least favorite map: Any map not in any playlist rotation 🙁
Least favorite game type: VIP / Juggernaut.
Least favorite playlist: Not sure I could single one out – I play them all!
Preferred control scheme: Recon.
Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): Hold forward, all the time. Aggressive to a fault.
Favorite Halo character: Avery Johnson.
Favorite Halo book: Halo: The Fall of Reach.
Favorite Halo Game Campaign: Halo 3: ODST.
Favorite Halo Game Multiplayer: Halo 2 / Halo 4.
Favorite Halo quote: “I was gonna shoot my way out. Mix things up a little.” – Master Chief

Flip-Yap or Yap-Flip – A Halo Grunt Art Project
From VoRicebowl:
I made a Grunt for one of my most recent art projects. It took a few weeks and some improvising for materials but difficulty-wise for me, I’d give it a 6/10. Hope you like it!

a giveaway finally closes
The mastrbiggy and commander giveaway went on quite a bit longer than expected, because more than half of the first round of winners didn’t bother to answer the emails telling them they’d won. New winners have finally been picked, though, and prizes are on their way! Just for future reference, though, if you enter one of these giveaways, it probably is worth your time to double-check your junk folder a couple of days after the entry period closes… in any case, congrats to the winners: sirpwn4ge, Mr Daax, Asian Inferno, ForwardUntoDong, Mooster Chief, padraig08, and unhh! You guys are grabbing some nice goodies – for free.(Louis Wu 11:59:59 UTC)

Michael and Gavin take the reins of the latest Fails of the Weak – I have to say, the attempted trick Banshee Flight on Forge Island actually brought out an unexpected laugh. You can watch it on AchievementHunter.com or YouTube. Thanks, as usual, to Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 16:46:44 UTC)

Title Update 1.04.01
If you’ve jumped on to Halo 4 in the last day or so, you might have noticed a small update pushed to you. This update had one purpose – to improve the death marker. It is now red, not white – and it sticks to to the location of the death, not the Spartan’s body. Yay! Thanks, rowboat 000.(Louis Wu 16:40:40 UTC)

Trying to Beet the Game
IGN added another peculiarly-styled Halo 4 Commentary video not long ago. It takes place on Shutout during a shotty snipes game, and revolves around the presumed death of the cartoon “Doug” at the hands of Disney. You should just go watch it. Thanks, ChrisTheeCrappy.(GrimBrother One 12:23:20 UTC)
