Month: December 2012

Jordan Bell gave us the heads up about this really cool McFarlane Knight action figure. Apparently the Knight figure is supposed to come out THIS month – so keep on eye on that page! Those T. rex arms always did creep me out.(mastrbiggy 13:14:28 UTC)

Anoj released episode 7 of his Top 10 series – this time things get really blue and sticky. Some of the clips include that unsavory grenade glitch (now patched), but they are still neat to watch! Thanks, Jordan Bell.(mastrbiggy 13:13:36 UTC)

Peace on Earth?

Remember that pretty cool ‘Extraction as a potential Invasion replacement’ video pete_the_duck posted last week? Well, Certain Affinity has posted a new Forge Tutorial showing you more details on exactly this concept. Nice! Thanks, TheOddOne.(Louis Wu …

Holy moley – it’s been so long since we had new content in our Fan Fiction section, I forgot to check it this morning! But you should go look; there are three new items online.(Louis Wu 19:15:38 UTC)

Heh – oops. Apple apparently let an app called ‘Halo 4’ (whose description sounds an awful lot like the Xbox 360 title) into the App Store recently. (It’s gone now.) It was $5, weighed in at a bit under 9 MB, and… well, let you play chess, I guess. P…

Clever Musings has begun a recap of each Spartan Ops episode – the first installment is online now. Go give it a read! (Louis Wu 18:56:43 UTC)

CbWilliams is back with a new Halo Legends parody – this one focuses on Odd One Out. IT’s a Christmas special! I was amused.(Louis Wu 18:33:01 UTC)

DeviantARTist Tekka-Croe has taken a stab at redesigning the Halo 3 Elephant – his Command variant increases safety for both passengers and gunners. (It’s very, very different from Halo 4’s Mammoth – though it serves many of the same functions. Shows y…

GunRunner48 sent word that the Section 3 crew has nailed down the last couple of codes from the Halo 4 ARG – you can use their fine work to get XP and cool offerings! The glyph codes are on the Completed Glyph Sequences page – as long as you’ve complet…

RUL’s Greenskull is getting together with friends for a ‘Post-Apocalyptic Playdate’ – assuming we’re all still around tomorrow, they’ll be playing Halo 4 tomorrow from 12pm Pacific until they feel like stopping. If you want to join, watch the video to …

DayandKnightly has kicked off a series of articles looking back at Halo multiplayer maps – their layouts, what they brought to the table gameplay-wise, how they fit into the Halo universe. First up: Sidewinder. Go read!(Louis Wu 16:22:58 UTC)

haloHISTORY100 has showed amazing creativity both in Halo 3 and Halo 4 – he’s back with a new Halo 4 video that drops my jaw. It’s got a bunch of grenade/box jumps – some are great for speedrunners, others get you to places you were never supposed to b…

Back in October, we saw some still shots from what looked to be a new Halo fan film project – DevinSupertramp has now posted a Behind the Scenes peek at the filming. Looking forward to seeing the final product! Thanks, Tawpgun.(Louis Wu 15:06:32 UTC)

Gandemo plays Halo 4 better drunk than I play it sober. This makes me sad.(Louis Wu 14:59:27 UTC)

Over at Reddit, a reader noticed a pretty cool factoid that was new to me: in the standard Halo 4 UNSC logo, the text reads ‘UNSC’ both horizontally (normally) and vertically (rotated and flipped). Clever!(Louis Wu 14:57:59 UTC)

OboeCrazy dropped in yesterday with some campaign coop footage (a 4-player playthrough of Dawn)… with a twist. There was a load failure near the beginning… in which the game managed to lose the majority of the Forward Unto Dawn. The funny part is, …
