Hey there XF.

The Guardianz (http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/367712/Group/GroupHome.aspx) is a Halo Reach Forge group on Bungie.net. It started with a few really dedicated Forgers (including myself) working together on some ideas, and is rapidly growing into a fun little community of like-minded forgers.

The idea behind the group is to come together and collectively work on gametypes and maps, with the ultimate goal being to get them into matchmaking. This extends beyond what Atlas is doing, promoting not only competitive Halo maps, but mini-games and alternative competitive modes.

I've had extensive discussions with some of the forgers there, and they're a real smart bunch. It's been really fun to discuss and collaborate in a team setting, and I really recommend you all take a few minutes, join up, and check things out. We are still getting things up and running, but just pop in, say hello, and you'll be greeted by a lot of friendly, constructive people!

You can read more about it there, but we're also setting up a testers association of sorts, where you sign up in a testing group, and when called upon, your group gets together and tests the gametypes/maps of other members in the group. It's pretty slick.

Again, things are getting ironed out at the moment, but you should still take a few minutes and check things out.

Pretty cool group over there, although they all seem to worship the one guy "A 3 Legged Goat" . I hope if they become bigger they'll get a website. Bungie's groups are very unorganized in my opinion.

That's true. They should become an XF associate or whatever.

War is a gametype we've been collaborating on in the forums for a while. Goats idea. It really sparked the group and everything. I came in with some big changes that Goat seemed to take on to, and then some other good forgers chimed in, and well it just went from there.

Goat has been a prominent member of the Reach forums for a while. You know how internet fame goes, you have some people that REALLY REALLY worship you, but honestly, to most people, you're still just a random nobody.

Goat's intelligent and creative, and brings like-minded people to the table. That's all I really care about.

I signed up and posted an intro... more than anything I'd like to see the group expand into a website, because like wiggums said, b.net groups aren't really optimal for a large, organized community.

Um, I just joined this site because of this forge group, but I don't know how to join... Do I click on something? Or do I just post here? I've never been on this site, and I'm utterly confused... Please help.

Well if you are able to post,then you're probably already a member. I'm pretty sure you can see an option for joining when you first go to the page, but I'm not sure.
