Apologies for the downtime overnight; seems Reddit still has the capability of bringing down a server around here. Going to do a quick once-over of the news queue; the day is looking pretty hectic. First up: Firestorm12 reminded us that War (or War) I…

Five great opportunities to help guide the future of our studio and the games we create.

GameFront has a little tidbit from Chad ‘Shishka’ Armstrong, the guy who hid Halo: Anniversary’s skulls throughout the game. He wanted to make the skulls hard to acquire – but he learned the lesson from Halo 3 that just making the triggers complicated…

Hyokin pointed out a video from Tinkernut that can help making a Halo helmet easier for you. Halloween’s just around the corner – take a look!(Louis Wu 16:40:20 UTC)

GamingBolt thinks two things: that ODST was overhyped (huhwha?)… and that it disappeared too fast. (Not sure I buy that; I was playing it until Reach came out. But hey… they’re entitled to an opinion.) Thanks, Urban Reflex. (Louis Wu 16:39:51 UTC)

Surprisingly enough, this post has nothing to do with Hedgemony, so your first guess was wrong. Instead, Halo Waypoint added the most recent addition to the ordnance tech in the Waypoint Intel by bringing us a closer look at the Covenant Plasma Launche…

Earlier this week, Episode 4 of the Playtime Series from CruelLEGACEY Productions debuted on Halo Waypoint. It’s a great way to end the second series. Definitely go and give it a watch!(GrimBrother One 15:41:19 UTC)

I’m thrilled (and a little sad) to announce that Leviathan has finished A Fistful of Arrows, his epic (and yes, I’m using that word correctly) tale following Jun after the events of Halo: Reach. The last time we mentioned the main comic was just before…

Mid7night has created what might be the coolest frisbee… ever. It’s a Marathon symbol, and he made sure that the off-center hole was balanced against the extra material below it so that the center of mass is right in the center of the disc. He hasn’t…

nillapuddin was inspired to post an older line drawing sketch he did – nice!(Louis Wu 13:04:25 UTC)

Lordstemplar1 stopped in to announce that Dispatch Films has posted Prophecy, Act 1 (a remake of an older series), with Director’s commentary. I ran into trouble with the video portion of the film (audio was fine), but switching browsers fixed the pr…

Red vs Blue Season 9, Episode 17 is live now; some serious CGI action in this one. Thanks to MoltenSlowa for being the first to let us know about it – but the real discussion on our forum is in a different thread. (I’m surprised by the number of peopl…

A quick reminder – last week’s LASO Challenge Walkthrough chapter from Tyrant covered this week’s Weekly LASO challenge… New Alexandria. If you didn’t watch it last week, you should watch it now!(Louis Wu 23:19:03 UTC)

Gamespot has posted a hi-res version of the Halo Anniversary opening cinematic – if you can’t wait to see this in all its glory on your Xbox, go watch it on YouTube. Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 16:32:19 UTC)

ElzarTheBam pointed out a hands-on from DailyJoyPad, and Hypertrooper mentioned content from Halo.Fr (it’s in French, but the interview with Dennis Reis is in English, and they’ve posted B-Roll footage from campaign (most levels, a visual comparison) …

Quick update on some info in the Xbox360Achievements preview: they mention that their location changes with difficulty level, but Frank clarified on NeoGAF this morning that while that USED to be true, it was changed during testing. Location is identi…

Two new Behind-The-Scenes videos are up at Halo Waypoint (in Silverlight format only; nothing yet on the Waypoint YouTube channel): a look at the Anniversary Terminals has devs discussing how (and why) the Terminals will work in the new game, and the A…
