Forum:Halo 4 Celebration

Hello everyone! As many of you know, the worldwide release of Halo 4 is just around the corner! (Hooray!) As we have done in the past, I feel we should do something special to celebrate the game's release. With the help of Halo4master, I have created a neat little template as seen above with a second by second countdown to the game's release. To see the countdown in action, just add the coding shown here to your personal javascript page. Aside from that, I'd like to hear ideas and feedback about what you guys think would be cool way to celebrate the game's release.-- Spartacus,   Halopedia Administrator  Talk 16:26, 20 September 2012 (EDT)


 * Special thanks to Halo4master, who wrote part of the coding for the template.

As a video-game, and Halopedia being a close-knit group of gamers, you can possibly revive Halopedian Wars to host a simple gaming event in celebration of Halo 4's launch. The release date is worldwide, so it shouldn't be a problem for different time zones (although there is still a difference between the hours). However, from what me and Tony (the former CommanderTony) learned, having members flock in-mass via game-invites within custom games proved to be... hectic and disorderly.

So in order to have it run smoothly, it should be organized by specifically chosen designated hosts who are then given the responsibility to lead their respective custom matches at a set time. I recommend picking these individuals based on the different time-zones halopedians are most active at. Just a simple thought. Killjax 20:00, 20 September 2012 (EDT)

As always, a Halo 4 theme skin would be super to have upon the release *pokes Subtank* ;) -  Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 08:01, 21 September 2012 (EDT)


 * I'll see what I can whip up using available assets... no promises though. :P — subtank   11:18, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * @Nic, Subs: A special Halo 4 theme skin would be cool, considering that I don't really remember the special Reach skin. @Killjax: We could make that work, I just have to renew my Gold subscription. :p-- Spartacus,   Halopedia Administrator  Talk 12:02, 21 September 2012 (EDT)

When viewing the banner, I'm getting the "If you see this message, it is likely that your javascript is disabled or you need to clear your cache." message for both my work computer (yes I be on Halopedia @ work) & home computer. Now I can't mess with my work comp, but how do I fix this problem on my home comp? I've seen this banner work before when Spartacus had it up on his wiki page but now all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. Was there a slight change in the template?-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 16:38, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * I didn't change the template at all. Try adding the coding here to your personal Javascipt page as I linked above (second link). If it doesn't work then let me know so I can make fixes.-- Spartacus,   Halopedia Administrator  Talk 17:10, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * I'll give it a shot when I get on my home comp and let you know the outcome.-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 17:13, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * It's alive!!! It worked.-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 19:12, 24 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Cool. Glad it works for you!-- Spartacus,   Halopedia Administrator  Talk 19:14, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

Nice job on the timer! It looks great. I think it would be awesome on the front page. Weeping Angel 12:36, 26 September 2012 (EDT)
