If TFS was a community, what would be YOUR three games you'd want us to play?

Jedi here with a plethora of details about standard clan things.
Meeting 3/2 @ 8 PM EST First off, remember that Blu has set up a meeting this Saturday, March 2nd, at 8 PM Eastern. This is an important meeting that is highly recommended that EVERYONE attend. The big topics will probably center around TFS becoming a gaming community to expand beyond Halo, but Blu may have other things he wants to talk about as well! Shadow of Valor: Warstar A big congratulations to Warstar who has been given the Shadow of Valor, TFS' highest honor. This has been a long time coming and I think everyone will agree that Warstar deserves it. There are a couple of other people that will be put up for consideration here shortly. So if you think you are on that short list of possible Valor candidates and are wondering why you didn't get it just yet, be patient. Warstar has been waiting quite a while and he has proven time and again that he is one of TFS' top players. Broken Sword Award aka Shadow of the Month Over the past three months, we kind of forgot to hand out this award. I take part of the blame for that from being busy with lots of other things. Me and Blu compared notes and we have decided who gets the Broken Sword award for December 2012, January 2013, and this month, February 2013. December 2012: Krazy Moe Foe January 2013: HydeUnleashed February 2013: Jawbreaker Congrats to you guys! To those who were in a position to get a one grade promotion, got one. Monthly Rank Promotion Moratorium Sorry guys, I'm not promoting anyone this month just like no one got any promotions last month. The reason for this has to do with the TFS restructure. Part of the restructure will involve a change in how we do rank promotions. The whole idea of being active gets you an automatic promotion each month is going away. There will be more requirements beyond just being active each month. The requirements are to be decided, but rest assured, ranks will start to have a bit more meaning now. As always, if you have further questions, ask me on Xbox or comment bellow. Stay Frozen Shadows, JediMasterShark Leader of TFS Blu here,
There will be a CLAN MEETING THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, @ 8pm Eastern. I will be on most of the night and I will be focusing on correcting TFS' issues that anyone has. If you have ANYTHING you need to say, past or current members. Now is the time. So the map packs are here and graphically look amazing. I haven't played them yet but they are all supposed to be small maps like Haven. We will see if the masses like them as much. I sent out a mass message to the clan asking all members to update me on if they are still here and what squad they are in. I have roughly 30+ replies so far with only 4 or so that want to be free agents or are just unsure. We are likely going to embrace a conference system until the squads are better established once again. I'm starting to second guess if any squad combining should happen simply because our emblems are uniform anyways and it just doesn't feel like it would change much here. Our issues aren't squad related currently, they are interest and number of clan members here. Black Dagger has a tournament he is working on to generate more interest. We will be implamenting (based off of how everyone likes it at the meeting) a new power ranking in the clan. Co Leaders, Captains, even general Ranks may change. Like I said earlier, this will be a meeting you'll want to be at! I'm open to every idea here. If it means TFS survives, I'm even willing to start this clan over and only keep the name. I'm taking this seriously. Obviously this would require a majority vote from the entire clan and I wouldn't be acting above our Co Leaders. If you can't make it, send me a webs message and rant there. I'm hard to catch online so send messages, anything you can. Remember, 8pm Eastern this saturday! Blu here just saying the VET's for Vergil, Jaguars, Basketball, Enveloping Flame, and a small update to BigLT's are finished.
I think more are about to be on the way sadly based off of what I am hearing from Pheonix squad right now but just know everyone, I may not get them up right away but they will happen (just ask Dutch - if you can find him that is lol). On another note, Destiny was played a bit more at the PS4 news conference. It showed some gameplay this time which was nice. Let us hope the next Xbox shows up soon. Blu here,
The good news is also bad news here. Yes Destiny will likely come sooner than Halo 5 will. Yes it will be a return to form for some of the naysayers of Halo 4 but it is still a long ways away. It won't even be here until 2014, perhaps late that year. So we have some major time to kill and some major challenges ahead to ensure TFS survival. Yes one option we could do is suspend the clan and ask everyone to regroup 1 week prior to Destiny or Halo 5. But we'd be lazy and fake to do so. If you want to be the best, you have to learn during the hard times. And just do the work and not 'claim' to be the best. Right now we are not the best. That's ok but I know anyone that cares here wants to be. We will be fixing some parts of the clan over the next year, mainly how Ranks work. If a game lacks something subjective like Ranks, we can fix that thankfully. Gameplay and graphics obviously we are up S#!7 creek though. If you all remember how TFS started it was to prep a group of gamers for the next big thing at the time, Reach. My plan to save this clan will be to treat Destiny as the next big thing while using Halo 4 (and some other games) to build a family once again with a familiar name. Yes, morons will look at our name and think same name, same problems. So we will let them live in the past and be wrong with those thoughts. I'm not interested in any of the b.s. that only destroys. I'm for the new, the next, and the better. Anyone sticking by us I want to only learn from the past but not bring it up as we build back up. Bringing it up will bring us down if you catch my drift. Those members that stick with TFS now will be the ones that lead this clan during it's hard times and INTO the great times once more. This year is going to SUCK compared to the peaks we have had before but it can also be rewarding if you are doing the rigth things for the clan. I've always had a blast in TFS, even on the crap days and the long months. You can and you WILL too. So how will we make it to 2014? Slowly, carefully and by building a new gaming family here. Perhaps we refrain from using the word community here. How about we call it a gaming family? I think we've recruited like 10 players since Halo 4 launched. It's something horribly low. Whether you are new or old you are EXPECTED to bring life back into TFS. If you are not prepared to do this, please retire for the time being. We need to know what we have and if all we have are amazing people that are worn down, it won't help us. As amazing as they are, it just won't get us there. I hate that it is this way too. I wish the rules were different but my wishes won't be what can build TFS. My actions alone are what can. So start digging Shadows. The great times are still out there. So I was wrong about it coming on Monday...
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams www.destinythegame.com The next game TFS will be on FULL time will likely be on the new consoles and will not be Halo. It is bungie's intent that this game will have a world as vast and expansive as Halo did or that of Star Wars. Years ago when you saw Halo: CE, you didn't know really what those TV trailers were starting. Perhaps today you can realize what is starting when you view the videos. 4 Destiny games, every 2 years is the rumor up until 2020 or so. Bungie is locked into a 10 yr agreement with Activision to crank these games out as often as possible. But I will stick to facts the IGN feed has displayed this afternoon. Bungie has been at work on this since Halo 2 (on a concept level at least) and now their entire studio of 360 ppl are hard at work on this game full time now. The game will be multi-platform and not xbox exclusive. This game is a MMO game ish that requires an internet connection to play. It IS a first person shooter. Many Halo fans will enjoy the close resemblance the Sniper rifle has to the Halo sniper rifle. In short, Bungie is sticking to what it is good at and it's going to scream at all of us for losing faith in them, if any of you have. No release date is set yet. |
