Where do we start, where do we start. Well lets take it back a few weeks ago in May. We announced that we provide Xbox One Themes by our friend CRYPT. Go check out his site for avatars, banners, and more. Awesome designs he has there. Especially this brand new Destiny one.
We will be having more updates for Xbox One Themes. Ideas are welcome! Not only did we announce Xbox One Themes. We brought our good friend Ward-47 onto our team. He will be covering mostly things Halo and Destiny. Give him a follow on Twitter.
Well Halo 3: ODST launched last week on Xbox One and I gotta say it’s one of the best Halo Campaigns in Halo history. Even without Firefight ODST is still a great game if you are a story guy. I made two guides on how to get the Classic Achievement and the Vandalized achievement:
Now lets go onto week number 2 announcements which was last week. We have brought on VenialeSports to our team to be our Halo Tournament Manager. He will be helping host Halo MCC tourneys. The games have not been decided yet and of course Halo 5 tourneys. For more questions go tweet at him! Our tournaments could start as soon as July 2015.
Also this past month Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox) squashed 1 vs 100 hopes once again sadly.
1 vs 100 was a great family game on the Xbox 360 and its a shame they won’t do something like this yet for the Xbox One. Let’s hope we get something like it in the next few years.
I would also like to take the time and wish the best of luck to the Former Bungie and 343 employee, Vic Deleon on landing a job at Envelop VR. Us at Rectify Gaming would like to wish him the best of luck in his future. (We loved those shiny rocks)
Now lets go on to the big big announcement. This is week 3. Right before E3. Our goal is to provide you with the best news from Xbox to Nintendo to PC to Playstation.

We have even more announcements to come that are exciting. We want Rectify Gaming to be open to every gaming fan out there.
Just because that wasn’t enough. We are also proud to announce that our forums are 100% updated with brand new features and designs. We made it so it goes with the theme of the main site. Ok so you want to see pictures right?
So first off I would like to announce a new feature. Our friends from XboxDVR gave us a feature. It is top clips from XboxDVR.com. No other site has this on their forums and we thought it was a great idea to implement this into our forums. Our goal is to bring the community together from all over.
The shoutbox has been updated to where it refreshes every 30 seconds instead of you having to refresh the page to see what someone wrote. Also we made the text box bigger and instead of pressing “shout” to post you can just hit enter. This was a small but key fix to our forums.
In this update we changed logos so they actually matched the theme to the forums. We did not want to make this look like a Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, etc. website. We want to make it for everyone our goal is to keep that diversity coming.
Also a few small updates to the profile. You can now pick the country you are from, put your Xbox GT, Playstation, Wii U, Runescape Name, and Steam Name. You can now set your mood on the forums we are using this as a test to see if you guys like it. Also you can now earn Gamerscore on the forums. We will have more info soon on what we will do for awards and such with that.
That is a small preview of what is on the forums. Go on a hunt for other updates we made to it 😉 We will be adding achievements on the site and some more features in the future that will benefit the community. Let us know what you think on there. Go join now!
I hope you all enjoyed this update and series of announcements. We are prepared for E3 as you should be! Start getting hyped on the forums. We are not done yet! We have more big announcements coming to you. Buckle up because it is going to be a wild clutch ride.
