This week's TGIF will be running on Friday, March 8th.
Welcome to the 4th TGIF of Halo 4! It's fantastic to have these starting up again, I know how many people, including myself, can find a longing for custom games at times. It can be tough to gather the people to play with, but that's where these fine hosts of TGIF come in! Take a look below to see some brilliantly diverse nights lined up. Get ready to hear the crack of the rifles around you and feel the tense struggle of combat; or, as the case may be, the tense struggle to bump your friend's cars into the sea. TGIF is back, sweetie.
What's TGIF? It's our biweekly custom game night, where you pick a host's party in advance, show up on the night and play a ton of awesome custom-made maps.
Can't make this date? There's plenty of community custom games being arranged at other times in the Customs Lobby.

TGIF hosts will review the signups in order to determine who will be interested in their party.
You must send the party leader a message on XBL at the start of the party asking for an invite.
This is to secure a position in the party. You will be invited on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, parties will remain open to make joining easier. If you are not able to join and you do not receive an invite, the party is closed. Please do not continuously send messages to hosts.
