The team behind Super Smash REX (a mod of Super Smash Bros. Brawl) has released a trailer showing new features, the biggest of which is a certain 7-foot cyborg! Apparently MC is going to finsh a fight. Against who exactly, I’m not sure, but they bette…

Halo Infinite’s next Operation goes live in a few days, and tomorrow Halo Studios will host a community livestream to discuss it. I’m always excited for more PvE content, so this operation seems like it will deliver! Ready up, Spartan. Humanity isn&#3…

The next Halo Infinite operation, Forerunner, is out. If you liked the Forerunner armor in Halo 4, you’ll appreciate the armor pieces this time, but it also comes with new game modes and maps (the Flood Gulch naming is wonderful.) Check out the traile…

In an epic 46-minute jumpathon, Spasmodic recreates and augments his old videos, using the Xbox 360 to bring things to a common visual standard, amounting to a “clean, clear, and unified anthology” of his multifarious jumpy exploits. And I must say, h…

The latest operation for Halo Infinite, Blue Team, is live and runs until April 8. Like the name implies, the operation adds Halo 5-style Blue Team cosmetics, but it also features the addition of a classic survival Firefight experience on some Forged …

Sometimes I’m amazed this site is still online; it launched in 1999, more than a quarter-century ago, and although it’s not quite as lively as it once was, it’s still visited by people who love the Halo franchise and love the creations that have been …

The Spring Update of Halo Infinite is coming in February ( that’s a seriously loose definition of spring!) Halo Waypoint has all the deets in a long blog post with an accompanying YouTube VOD of the community livestream. There’s a fuel rod-infused roc…

Mint Blitz has an 8-minute video round-up of some new Halo developments. And apparently “fun has returned”. Topics include mini-games in Halo Infinite (Duck Hunt, anyone?), plus some Halo 2 restoration work in the form of a Sanctuary “Tech Demo”, feat…

Putting a new spin on an old activity, Spasmodic recently took the time to collect and neatly arrange 23 vehicles on a beam at the start of AOTCR, with the aid of a few skulls. Check out his creative parking skills, and read his video blurb for detail…

BOLL dropped by in the forum with a rundown on the newly released Halo VR mod by LivingFray. Specifically it’s a VR conversion of the original PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved. While there are certainly some issues, it seems to be getting an enthusi…

As Halo 2’s 20th anniversary passes us by, so does a bunch of press coverage. Halo Studios has been celebrating in Infinite, in MCC, and on Waypoint, but among the press recollections there were two I found worth a read. On IGN, Ryan McCaffrey has h…

In a joint effort with Halo Studios and marking Halo 2’s 20th anniversary, Digsite has released a playable restoration of the game’s E3 2003 demo, for MCC PC. Not sure how off-script you can go to tackle things in different ways, but multiple playthro…

Polygon reports that the soundtracks to the first three games (minus the licensed tracks of 2, sorry Breaking Benjamin fans) are coming to vinyl, either a la carte or in a monster eight-LP box set. I don’t have a turntable, but the new cover art by lo…

MisterMonopoli has been busy with co-op on the original Xbox lately (no mods involved). After various short teaser videos in which one player has somehow become something other than a cyborg, he now has a tutorial for becoming a gold Elite, so you can…

Some big news today: Halo is moving to Unreal Engine, and 343 Industries is rebranding to Halo Studios. You can hear more watching the Vidoc below: (fuchsdh 23:39:11 +0000)

If you’ve ever wanted to sail the high seas and fight the Covenant along the way, the new Halo 3 mod from InfernoPlus may be the ticket to your dreams. With Captain Johnson at the helm, Pimps at Sea takes you to multiple tropical islands and features …

Apologies for the tardy mention, but it’s worth playing catch-up on this one. Just recently, Spasmodic achieved one of the holy grails of Halo 1 tricking, namely reaching the bottom of Keyes (as was mentioned in the forum). All you need to do is&helli…
