Welcome to Red vs Blue Wars. To sum us up we are a community based website that hold team based multiplayer matches (or "Wars") over Xbox Live. There a two teams, Red and Blue. You choose a side, and every once in while we will hold a "War" over Xbox Live, where both teams fight over a particular game or game map. Whichever team wins gets control and bragging rights of that map or game. The statistics of every War are kept and shown on this site.
Forum Rules
Rubber has written a professional list of the rules here. Below is a more simple version of the rules. Please note that these rules may change at any time. We will announce if they do though.
- Swearing is to be kept minimal. Saying that "The final boss battle in Halo 2 was [Censored]" for example is on the edge of "ok", but telling someone to "f*** off" will result with a ban.
- No displaying or linking to inappropriate material ([Censored] or pictures of bloody dead animals for example). The same goes for avatars and signatures.
- No Double Posting. This is when you reply to a thread and then reply to the same thread again without waiting for someone else to post after you. If you forgot to add something to your post, just use the edit button located at the upper-right part of post; the icon looks like a pencil and paper.
- No flamming. We are all friends here. Obviously, saying something like "Red team sucks" is ok, as long as it's obvious you're joking.
- No spamming.
- Please post the right thread in the right forum (a forum game goes in the Forum Games forum for example)
- Please try your best to stay on the forum topic. If you find yourself leading towards an offtopic conversation, continue the conversation over PM, or create a new thread about it.
- If you create a thread which contains spoilers to a game or movie, please put a spoiler warning in the thread title.
- Be sure to check the stickied threads of the other forums too. Some forums have their own special rules.
How to reply in an existing thread
There are many ways to post in a thread. The easiest way is to type your reply in the "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the page. You can also click on the "Post Reply" box at the bottom of the page, where you will be taken to a new page. There you will be able to type your reply and have the options to change the colour of your text ect. If you want to quote a particular user's post, click on the "quote" icon on the top right corner of the person's post, where it will take you to the reply page (the icon is a picture of a speech bubble). The user's post should already be written there, all you have to do is type what you want underneath it.
How to create a new thread
On the forum page, there should be a icon named "new thread" in the top right corner. Click on it and you will be taken to a new page. Fill out what you want, click "submit new thread" and your thread should appear on the forum. Private Messaging
To send a private message to a user of RvBW, simply go to the home page and click "Send new message", which is located in the private message box. Type in your message, select the appropriate member and submit your message. Or, look under a post of the user you wish to send a PM to and click on the PM icon (picture of two people).
That’s it everyone, thanks for your attention. Behave, be polite and have fun! If you have any other questions feel free to PM me or another admin. See you on the battlefield!

you said forge twice. But I get the analogy and a good one at that.
Black Zethyr 08 Sep : 00:38
Reach isn't a cake, though.
It's a delicious burger.
It's got delicious meat (Campaign), bacon (multipalyer), awesome sauces (Firefight), cheese (Forge), added vegetables (mushrooms, onions... I mean Theater and intense Customization for gametypes and armour), and buns (Sage's beard? I don't know).
It all comes with fries (potential DLC) and a drink (Forge).
Salvanous 07 Sep : 23:30
Yeah, but it's kinda like adding pickles to a cake, I mean sure pickles are good and all but nobody in their right mind likes cake with pickles.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 23:27
Although they are a huge annoyance, why not have them? Thats more to add to the game.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 23:16
sooooo.... why are you guys excited about Drones?! with the fact that the DMR is a one shot weapon it will be a living nightmare for me, of course now with armor abilities this will be somewhat more interesting... *maniacal laughter*
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:51
Also, Super, thats sorta what I'm trying to say. I know that no one can get to Hoffa's level, but lets just say there is a chance of getting to his position (even though it is at #1 supreme ruler). In a way, it would be like me saying that I am owner of the site when Hoffa really just shares some of his supreme power with me.
Once again, lets just stop. Send me a private message if you REALLY wanna talk about it.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:47
Yeah, kinda saddened and glad. It will be good as a challenge, but a pain if its in standard firefight.
Super 17 07 Sep : 22:44
Well, Hoffa kinda owns the site soo, noone can have more power than him
Black Zethyr 07 Sep : 22:41
Drones are confirmed to be in Reach.
Zethyr is glad.
That is all.
Loscocco 07 Sep : 22:22
Super, I'm not trying to hold you down or bash you, but it would be like me telling everyone that I am at Hoffa's level. Although I am the highest rank, I still can't compare to Hoffa's super-human abilities + his power (he actually has more access to stuff than all other Heads), his experience and his authority. Or if I told everyone that I already am a Head Admin while Hoffa was simply considering it. If I did do that, I would have never gotten the role.
I really don't want to get into a discussion on this, especially in the chatbox, but I hope this sorta cleared things up. No harsh intentions though.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 21:17
amen! lololol (sorry Super don't mean to team up, more going on Battle's comment previously)
Loscocco 07 Sep : 21:14
seniority has nothing to do with it...
Super 17 07 Sep : 20:50
says head admin to the guy thats been here longer than him... this is an ironic conversation
Loscocco 07 Sep : 20:32
Yes, but those are the only privileges that you have, not editing other people's posts and having the same authority that mods have.
Super 17 07 Sep : 20:26
Isn't posting news, and updating custom pages a moderator-esk job?
Loscocco 07 Sep : 20:20
technically Super, you are a member that has the ability to post on the front page, not a moderator.
Also, double posting is never a problem here unless you begin to spam somehow.
Salvanous 07 Sep : 17:01
I know, just wanted to make sure double posting was out of the picture to anyone new that may have somehow missed that little detail.
Super 17 07 Sep : 16:59
Double Postings doesn't matter in the chatbox because you can't edit chatbox posts (unless your a mod like me, and delete the post if you mess up while typing )
Salvanous 07 Sep : 16:54
double posting not condoned of course.
