I am ACRaven. I play stuff. That is all.

Useful Stuff: Skull Guide, Forum Rules, Armor Gen.

Oh well. My maps probably got punted :(

Anyhow, congrats to the winners of the contests. At least now I can empty my File Share of the non-map stuff =)

Urk, can you show us some of the forgetacular runner ups, maybe your personal favorites?

And why aren't you making Grifball an official Playlist?! Enough of this Grab Bag crap, we want official Playlists!


This. When I read Grifball was just two weeks, my heart sank :(

I have a question about the new All-Stars challenge:

Is the eligible media restricted to just the art (I assume by this he means drawings, paintings, and the like), screenshots, and rendered clips that were mentioned? Or can it be, say, a YouTube video or a comic-book-style page/picture?

Positive vibes.

Oh yeah. Congratz, JoeSki on your map, and everyone else! ^_^

They have the technology, but they don't have unlimited lives or the easy difficulty!

Thank the gods for there wonderful gift of Grifball

Fix'd.

Nice update by the way, I would have made a map for the contest but I haven't had the time too.

I'm curious as to why one of my Forgetacular entries has a big goose egg next to its number of downloads. Pretty tough to evaluate things you haven't looked at, isn't it? I triple checked the e-mail and every link was correct. My other entry got two downloads within a couple of days of submission, so I'm fairly sure it was evaluated. But the other, no one saw.

I'm not calling for a recount or claiming I should have won or anything. I'm not even upset, really. Just kind of bummed that I went through the effort and it fell through the cracks through some random oversight.

It's Hazard Time

As long as we get Firefight Arcade back, I'm happy, and if it's permanent and maybe expended, you made my year :)
Grifball sounds like a blast, hopefully it too can be a permanent down the road, great for LAN (just like arcade ^^)

Firefight Limited sounds like a blast from the past, would absolutely be fun to have the "old school style" with limited lives revived again, in Reach fashion.
If it isd popular, can we see some extended mode with maybe 2 or 3 sets, so you really can get some nasty skulls on?
And maybe a map for vehicular use (lost platoon-style) ;)
Great update anyhow :)

Why does Aunty Dot look like Mrs Fredric from Warehouse 13 in all these interpretations?

On page 3 Urk replied to a similar query thusly and with emoticon:

We don't pull the files down from the website. We access them from the server so we can copy/paste maps to the correct boxes without a ton of leg work.

Grifball, I missed you.

  • 01.14.2011 7:13 PM PDT

You will be missed.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

I wanted to apologize for my earlier post were I laughed at the map Enclosed as being the winner for the Arena category.

Although I am not a fan of your map, I should not have been such a dick.

Congratulations and I sincerely wish you the best with your future creations.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

I love you. That was an awesome comic, though I wish they had put some of the... "Naughty" pics up, help cut out a few squeakers and annoying brats. Once the parents saw that stuff, BOOM! No more Halo, making it a more peaceful community.

Nice update! So many submissions, so little time!

  • 01.14.2011 7:47 PM PDT

seriously why is joeski still winning stuff? he already has like 4 maps in matchmaking and on the bungie update pages. how about pick someone who makes a map that is better and doesn't have so many problems or at least a new face to forging. not someone who is an adopted employee. go blam urself joeski

Proof!

My Auntie Dot didn't get put up... don't understand why, it was pretty original.


Which one should I enter...?

New Zealand landscape... or Reach landscape?
