Gamertag: stckrboy.

Origin of Gamertag: A phpBB community meetup, a box of stickers and me. 🙂

Current clan/community: Never been much of a clan person. *edit* WOW *facepalm* – How about the Halo community? Doi! Also, props to my fellow Section 3 / ARG friends. I’d consider you guys my clan/community too. 🙂

Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): I like to stay back, pick off from afar. I’m a careful player.

Favorite Halo character: Always loved Cortana, Buck is my close 2nd – Chief is a class of his own. 😉

In an unprecedented move, Jessica Shea (bs angel) of 343 Industries has been moved from her post as Community Manager and will instead serve as Lead Designer on Halo 5. Some of the already-rumored feature changes include Spartans’ canonical height being retconned to 4’8, and the inclusion of a Ranked Betrayal competitive playlist. Current Community Coordinator Rukari “rukizzel” Austin will move to a mixed role of half Community Manager, half Gameplay Designer. His first move was to enlist the services of Kevin Hart to join the Narrative Team. Covies gon’ learn today!(GrimBrother One 14:37:38 UTC)

Well it looks like it’s official; Sarah Palmer will serve as Cortana’s replacement in Halo 5. This will include roles both as combat companion and awkward love-interest. In an interesting twist, we’re hearing rumors that Halo 5 will never see Chief with his helmet on; Palmer however, will never remove hers. (GrimBrother One 14:22:37 UTC)

I’s like to introduce you to the next revolution in the Halo Custom Game experience. Raise a hand for The People’s Republic of Customs, where you don’t don’t just vote for the map and gametype, you vote for change. I’d also like to draw your attention to the impeccable grammatical structure of this particular news post. Coming soon, my opinion on an eleven year-old thread that seems to have no connection to the current conversation whatsoever. (Gnrl Vagueness 14:12:54 UTC)
