Halo 2 Game Night (Well, Afternoon)

02 May 2013

Posted by Dovahkiin In: Site News Blog

Yes you read that right! Halo 2!

We are going to be having a Halo 2 Game Night on May 11th at 2 PM CDT. This is in honor of the Xbox's history as seeing the next generation of Xbox is going to be announced very soon. For most of this game night, we will simply be playing Halo 2 to relive what the game is like. Please note that this will be on the Xbox. I do believe that original Xbox games do not have a ping limit (correct me if I am wrong) so theoretically, one could play this game night with a retail Xbox or Xbox 360. I hope to have some mods at the end involving the phantom map pack, however, I need to work out the logistics of that.

We should be playing on XBSLink, however I will also open up XBConnect if need be. Hope to see many of you there Posted Image

Please go to the Calendar Event link below and RSVP!

(If some of you really want, maybe we can sneak in a bit of Halo 3 Beta stuff once people get tired of Halo 2)

Some New Donator Enhancements

19 Apr 2013

Posted by Dovahkiin In: Site News Blog

Since getting donator status is rather difficult to do, I have decided to add a donation system. In no way do I want anyone to think that this is supposed to be like a premium service. This is simply just some very basic changes to site functions that I think people who pay into helping pay site bills should get. The set donating price is currently 5 dollars. Donating this will allow you to hold the donator group name for 6 months. I have decided to go a time based route so that I can offer donators to this site more features than what are currently implemented now. These are listed below.

No site search flood control
PM box size increased to 1000 as opposed to 50
No limit on the amount of pictures in a signature (provided it isn't ridiculous and takes up too much space)
Each signature picture can now have a width of 300 pixels as opposed to 250
Double the amount of people you can have in a PM
Increased global forum storage space
No download section restrictions
Ability to change display name up to 3 times a month
Donator award badge (this you keep forever)
Ability to hide your own posts and topics rather than just deleting them (very useful if you want to work a post in little bits a time).
Ability to delete your own shouts in the shoutbox
No shoutbox post count requirements
Access to site donator forum
Knowing you helped make a difference for this awesome website!

Also for previous heroics, you can also PM me and ask for this status since I feel you deserve a gift because of all the content you have donated (1 year). Current donators will get a year from me as well. You may have received an email stating a transaction was completed. Please ignore this, you haven't been charged.

Finally, no one should feel that they should have to purchase this. The last thing I want to see become of this is people getting criticized for not donating or vice versa. This is simply here to help us pay for site hosting. In order to get this, simply click on donations in the navigation bar. Donations are handled through paypal. Once you purchase, the status should activate immediately. If it does not, PM Dovahkiin

Thanks,
Dovahkiin

Some Random Site News (Updated)

22 Mar 2013

Posted by Dovahkiin In: Site News Blog

Congratulations to Xbox Chaos for reaching 8,000 members today! We couldn't have ever reached this goal without the members who come here every day so thank you!

Also, to keep this site in order for new members, we will be doubling down on enforcing the rules. Stuff that has slid in the past, will not any longer. This will help with organization in the long term to help us have more long term content going forward.

Once again thank you for being here and I hope you stick around.

UPDATE: If you feel that you deserve an award you do not have, please just PM AMD or I and we'll add if you deserve it. The first level modding award is now objective. You need to just release some original mod or modding utility.

Finally, heroics have been removed. This group is honestly way to subjective. It also appears as if the staff just picks favorites which we don't want to be the case.

Server Change Information

16 Mar 2013

Posted by Dovahkiin In: Site News Blog

Server changes and upgrades happen naturally as needs change. We found the need to change to a host that provides Windows Server as a choice because we want to explore ASP.NET for some stuff with Assembly. ASP will allow us some new functionality for development. I have almost completely solidified the changes over to the new server. If you are browsing the site and encounter any sort of error or driver error, please email thunder@xboxchaos.com with your Username and approximate time the error occurred and what you were doing at that moment.

Thank you supporting us!
