February 2020 Member of the Month
You all thought these were done and dusted, didn't you? Nope, just unfortunately delayed on account of everyone being so busy all the time. Thankfully, Chaos was kind enough to find some time to get this interview done so we could all get to know him a little better. Here's the good stuff:
How and when did you find the site?
I found the site in early 2016 on Halowaypoint, I was about ready to give up on Halo 5 as I hadn't enjoyed Halo 4 and wasn't having a lot of fun playing 5 solo as most of my friends had moved onto the new cod or something else so I started to look for a Spartan Company/Clan to try and get back into the game.
What got you into Halo?
When I was 10 my older cousin let me try Halo 2 on his Xbox, been a huge fan of the series since.
What's your preferred playstyle?
I usually tend to run & gun, I find I'm usually in close quarters fights with a DMR/BR and a shotgun depending on the Halo I'm playing.
Yes Monster, Shotgun best gun.
Where did your gamer tag come from?
Honestly I'm not very creative and I really enjoyed Gears when I first got my Xbox 360 so I tried to make a Gears Of War inspired gamertag, so 12 year old me somehow though IIChaosOfWarIII was a cool gamertag.
By the time Reach came along I had shortend it to Chaos.
What are your other favorite gaming series?
Outside of Halo my favorite series are mostly Nintendo franchises, I adore the Legend of Zelda and Metroid series specifically.
I also love the Warcraft series, I've sunk an insane amount of time into World of Warcraft.
What is your favorite food?
Probably Chicken, doesn't really matter how it's cooked or what dish it's in I usually enjoy it.
Oh and Pizza lol
Tell us something about yourself that we might not know?
That I have a bad habit of procrastination as shown by the time I took to answer these questions :joy:
Any advice for newer members of the community?
You're in a great place, don't be shy like I was jump in lobbies and talk on discord.
Shoutouts! Who do you want to shoutout?
Waldabie for sponsoring me into this wonderful community and Monster for continuing to try so hard to keep Halo as a weekly thing here.
Big thanks again to Chaos, and as a reminder to everyone else, don't forget to nominate people for these interviews! It's a great way for people to share about themselves in a place where everyone in our community can see them and maybe two people who didn't know each other that well before can start a new friendship! Do it! Or else!

Xbox News: Updates
** Xbox Game Pass **
As you are aware of, Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft's subscription service for Xbox One owners. It's designed to be like a "Netflix for games," where you pay a simple monthly rate and get access to loads of games for download. It's not to be confused with the Xbox Live Gold membership, which gives users a selection of free games each month.
In the past few months, there was a huge surge of games added to their library. This past month we saw several titles from Jump Force, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and the popular Gears 5.

** Other Xbox News **
We have new information about Project xCloud. If you haven’t heard, Project xCloud is the codename given to Microsoft's forthcoming cloud gaming platform that is planned to be a complementary service to its Xbox One and forthcoming Project Scarlett games consoles.
It is a streaming service, in that all games will be hosted on remote servers and live game-play video will be sent to a compatible device over the internet. In return, controller codes are sent in the other direction so, for all intents and purposes, it feels like you are playing a game loaded on the device itself, whether it be a smart TV, PC, tablet or smartphone.
As of September 24th, Microsoft is inviting the community to take the next step and join the Project xCloud (Preview), coming in October. For more details click here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/09/24/ ... c-preview/

Shadowkeep is here. The fourth expansion for Destiny 2, it is the first major expansion to be published independently by Bungie after acquiring publishing rights for the series from Activision in early 2019, as well as the first to arrive on Steam rather than the Battle.net client which had been used since launch. The expansion will return you to the Moon, with the location being reprised and expanded upon from the original Moon patrol mode of the first Destiny game.
Shadowkeep will include new content for every aspect of the game; including new missions, new PvE locations, PvP maps, weapons, armor, exotic gear, a new raid, as well as further fundamental changes to the core functionality of the game, including a revamped armor system.
