Site Updates & The Great Sandwich Debate

​

Hey, you there! Listen to me! We here at HaloCustoms have a few cool new updates that we want to share with you to make your custom gaming easier and more fun. But more importantly is a crucial debate that has broken apart friendships, torn families apart, and even caused complete strangers to start fights. No this isn't another coming of the Crusades, this is something much bigger...​

**THE GREAT SAMMICH DEBATE**​

Fellow forumgoers, today I pose to you a query of extreme importance. A query which is tied to what is perhaps the greatest dilemma presented to mankind: where can one get the best sammich? of course this debate is a big one, encompassing numerous varieties of sammich, served at a multitude of locations throughout the world. However, for the sake of this debate only two sammich joints are being examined: Quiznos and Subway.​

​

On one side we have our beloved admin Insane54 vowing that Subway has the more premium sammiches at a better price. In the other corner we have THFE's finest; Psychoduck shouting from the rooftops about how Quiznos makes the better sandwiches.​

​

​

Just this afternoon, I found myself engaged in debate with community manager InsaneFiddyFo regarding this very issue. I personally believe in the dominance of the toasty Quiznos sammich, while our community manager believes that the fresh Subway is superior. So, I extend the question to you, the community: which of these establishments is the vendor of the better sammich? Leave your responses in the comments below! -PsychoDuck

​

..Erm anyways, back to the site updates. As many of you have noticed we have a new rank system in place!

Updated user ranks. They're based on trophy score (http://halocustoms.com/help/trophies), and the names are based off of the Halo 4 commendation ranks:
Novice >= 0
Qualified >= 10
Proficient >= 20
Adept >= 40
Expert >= 60
Distinguished >= 80
Master >= 100

These are all subject to change in the future.

Another thing people may have noticed is that now every time you RSVP in a custom lobby thread, a tab in your browser is opened up. This tab actually opens to xbox.com, and if logged into that site it will direct you to message the host of the lobby! This makes it very easy for both the community and the host to communicate. Now as soon as you RSVP you can message your host from your computer with 'inv' or whatever silly message you can come up with. Also, underneath the RSVP buttons is an additional link to message your host in case you want to send him more messages.


Gold Host
We would also like to remind people of the great and noble rank of *GOLD HOST*. These members get a specially highlighted lobby and a custom title! "OH WAKKO, HOW DO WE GET SUCH A RANK!?!?" Don't worry, it's very doable. All you need to do to get this rank is get 25 positive host ratings! Here are some tips that might help get people to rate your lobbies after you're done hosting:

The VIP System:
Used by the likes of our very own first Gold Host, spiteful, this method encourages people to go back to the thread and rate the host. By rating, they will be put on the VIP list for the host's next lobby which guarantees an invite.

The @ Tag:
A new feature that may help hosts to remind their parties to rate them is the @ tag. Simply type @UsersNameHere and the user will receive a notification that they were tagged. After your party is over you can simply @ tag everyone that RSVP'd for your game in the game thread itself. To make it a little less ugly you can always hide it in a spoiler too!

Insane54 Psychoduck Hey guys hoped you enjoyed the games and your sandwiches, don't forget to rate me as a host!

One final thing, for those of you who use the Light skin over the Dark skin (Light), you'll notice it is much more up-to-date with the features that were added to the Dark skin.

That's it for now everyone, thanks!!

 

 

Cheese Italian bread+ meatballs+ accidental Halo night= SUBWAY all the way! I also like Quiznos, but subways best is the best. For this discussion, that is.

Glorious. Yeah, Subway has definitely won this battle. Suck it Quiznos noobs!

 

Subway all the way! I love the shortbread-and-meatball sammich or the breakfast (in flatbread) sammich!

*gag*

I saw this advert years and years ago - I've been scared by Quiznos ever since.

That was amazing, I don't know what you're talking about

That advert I'm sure converted a few people.

 

And so, the debate ends on which chain makes the less shitty pile of bread and fillings.

Someday we should really have a competition between places that make real food.

somehow i think that might have some complications:

"the independent obscure sandwich shop youve never heard of in my city makes the BEST sandwiches!!!"

"Noooo! NO! the independent obscure sandwich shop youve never heard of in MY city makes the best."

 

SUBWAY Is the Best!

"Real... food"? Like... like what? What is there out there with food more real than Subway (or Quiznos? I don't know). Let's see here... here are all the places I know, and I don't think any of them sell real food
Arby's
Taco Bell
KFC
McDonald's
Burgerking
Wendy's
Denny's
IHOP
Pizza Hut (or any other pizza place)
Dunkin Donuts (or any other donut place...)
Starbucks

But, yeah, all of those guys will gladly poison you. So please, pray tell, what is real food?

Wendy's is!

 

Comb to side gentleman, I'm just trolling. I just find it funny how often people argue about stuff like this when both serve merely passable food.

 

He works against the common good of humanity!

KILL THE HERETIC!

I agree.

 

Comb to side

Fool, YOU AIN'T NO AD.

 

Obscure small "samwich" shops make the better "samwich". But a "samwich" is a "samwich". Eat at either place, and have a "samwich". But eat at any independant restraunt (Dos Salsas-#1 mexican food restraunt in Texas), and get a sweet deal. And all food is preferable to no food at all, right? Conclusion: eat at any restraunt you want, but not Quiznos.

 

WENDYS IS KING OF THE FAST FOOD BURGER.

 

 

Subway...

 

I really can't say I like either, but then again, every sammich tastes the same when you eat it in less then 3 seconds.

 

WENDYS IS KING OF THE FAST FOOD BURGER.

They are king of the fast part, that's for damn sure. I have one pretty close to work, so I go there more than I'm willing to admit. But this is basically how it goes, every time-

00:00 - Pull up to drive-through
00:05 (seconds) - Order food
00:25 - Pull around to window
00:35 - Pay and receive food
00:40 - Drive away

It's disturbingly fast.
