    FC Update 6.5

    Two Days...



    Website Upgrade

    So we did a lot of changes to the website recently.... You might have noticed.

    If not, and you are still viewing the forum using the skin we've had for the last year, >>CLICK HERE<< before continuing.

    Keep in mind we're still working on it. Lots of new functionality and additions will be made over the coming days/weeks. Also, for a good portion of you, the website might be loading a bit slower than usual (particularly for those with lower-end internet connections or processing capabilities). We are working on optimizing various portions of it, so over the next few days that should be alleviated a bit.

    Please keep us updated on how your website viewing is. If something isn't working right or is loading extremely slowly, let us know so we prioritize that portion more so than other parts.

    Make sure to follow our twitter account @FC_Wars, as we'll be updating that and #BlameMetkil when we make changes.



    Reclamation

    You may have noticed via the banner at the top of the screen, but...

    After having three total polls (one in WC, two public), we have finally worked out the community name for Halo 4!

    So, with two-thirds of the votes, Reclamation will be the title our community uses!

    Courtesy Maxdoggy:
    Reclamation: Represents the "Reclaimer" Trilogy that is Halo 4, 5, and 6; Represents the Master Chief and Humanity; Represents the BLUE's reclaiming of the Outer Colonies from the Imperials and the reclaiming of lost Forerunner technology.


    Halo 4 Launch Party

    In two days, the festivities begin! You all ready?

    Well, a lot of people are obviously going to midnight releases and such. And others have work/school and will be getting the game after that, etc.

    But a number of you have already decided to do some things in groups, or may be interested in finding others for War Games or co-op campaign/Spartan Ops. We would love to see large groups forming within the first few days of launch and such.

    We've also got a variety of members preparing to do livestreaming. I know that Bazongaman, VictimsVestige, WSxPhoenix, and I will be doing it. Some others will probably do it as well, possible HarryTheChin, UNLUCKY NUM13ER, etc, but I'm not sure if they've confirmed it or not.

    Anyway, if you're going to be hosting a livestream, post details as a reply to help everyone know about it.


    Anyway, you all should have as much fun with the game as you can. Just remember that the Beta War will begin on November 18th. More details on that later.



    Forum Reorganization

    You may have noticed already, but I just shifted around a lot of the subforums around the site. (I even tweeted about it)

    Abbreviated list of changes:
    • Removed:
      • The Great Hall
      • Peacetime Halo 3 Events
      • Universal Enlistment
      • Video Department Subforums
      • GFX Battle Zone Subforums
      • E3 2012

    • Spambox moved back inside Open Convo
    • News and Announcements category renamed News and Events.
    • Events forum inside News and Events.
    • FC Comics moved back to Multimedia Discussion.
    • Console Gaming and General Gaming combined together and moved into General Discussion category.
    • Moved FC Multimedia, Slayer Gaming, and The Vestige to the Video Department.
    • Created three subforums in Video Department: Myth Plays, UNLUCKY GAMER, and WSxPhoenix.

    If anyone else plans on making videos or livestreaming and wants a subforum in the Video Department, let me know and I'll add it in.

    So hopefully you guys don't get too confused when looking around for something for the next few days. xD



    More Changes Coming Soon

    We've got a long list of things we're working on. We'll be implementing this stuff as we go along.

    One of these things is the new vCash system. We're not quite able to implement it yet, but in the mean time make sure you apply for the vCash you earned by clicking here and filling out the application!

    Those that fill out the applications correctly will get top priority when we implement the system, and if you decide not to there's no guarantee I'll even remember to give you the vCash you earned awhile back, so I highly recommend it.

    Also, on the topic of usergroup images for individual ranks: it's still sort of planned to happen. Really, there wasn't a way to do it yet due to lack of unique H4 screenshots and things. We've still got it in the works, but right now it's not top priority so be patient and enjoy Halo 4 in the mean time, okay?



    Okay, that's pretty much all for now. Not much to announce besides us using Reclamation now and the website changes, but I hope you all like the new skin!
