Stewie2552 and the Funny Halo 3 Productions crew put together 10 Years of Halo in 10 Minutes – a tribute to Bungie’s games, shown in the order they were made and compiled from cutscene footage with a soundtrack that’s made from various Halo pieces (so…

FyreWulff collected all the posts Jeremiah made in the Bungie.net Optimatch forum concerning changes to the Matchmaking playlists – and now that the Optimatch forum is offline, he’s made the collection publicly available. Nice!(Louis Wu 13:57:37 UTC)

OXM UK speculates about Cortana, and her importance in Halo 4, in a recent article on their website. Thanks, INSANEdrive. (Louis Wu 13:56:45 UTC)

If you visit Bungie.net, you’ll notice a new layout, for the first time in a month. And new news, even – a reminder that the upcoming ViDoc will hit the interwebz on Thursday, and a small note about the facelift itself. Go explore! (I like the new Hal…

It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it needs caressing.

New look. Same great taste!

IESUproductions stopped by with a link to ‘Iridescent’ – a Halo retrospective, set to Linkin Park’s Iridescent. Cutscene footage from all Halo games is matched to the song’s lyrics in a tribute to the official passing of the Halo torch from Bungie to …

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris sent word that the last chapter of his Legendary ODST saga, covering Coastal Highway, is now online – the most difficult mission on Halo 3 or ODST has now been beaten – with no deaths! (Can you find the easter egg?)(Louis Wu 18:…

Sniper94 painted a Halo screenshot. With paint. He wanted you to see it.(Louis Wu 17:58:49 UTC)

Greenskull put together a song called ‘I Less than 343’ – it’s an ode to the franchise overseers, and it’s full of Halo love (and far too much tongue). Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:56:46 UTC)

Mid7night found a fan-made space-based RTS called ‘Star Wars vs Halo’ – you can see a trailer (story-based, no gameplay) here, an announcement trailer showing promo gameplay here, and a gameplay demo made by the Funny Halo Productions crew here. The …

Brute Honour Guard pointed out a document (originally posted by its author on Bungie.net) showing one fan’s attempt to do some translating of the language we hear from the Sangheili in-game. At the very least, he gets kudos for the systematic approach…

CaptainTony is back with another find from DeviantART – NOBLE 06 is not QUITE as epic as the stuff he brought us yesterday, but it’s still pretty cool!(Louis Wu 17:04:20 UTC)

Red vs Blue Season 9, Episode 7 is now online for everyone – nice mix of Freelancer drama and Caboose silliness. Go watch! Thanks, mattroe.(Louis Wu 17:03:29 UTC)

Minor Harry Potter spoilers… but CortanaVII showed us a video that shows off the ending of Harry Potter vs Halo. I giggled. (Louis Wu 17:02:29 UTC)

Hedgemony posted a bunch of deleted scenes from his 117×5 project – the man has an eye, and it’s amazing. (They’re not really deleted scenes; they’re images he didn’t get finished in time to add to the project. Absolutely worth perusing.) (Louis Wu 17…

Avcracy pointed out the first in a new series – Horrible Origins: Creation Episode 1. This is a series that will take old vids from Firelight Studios, and make fun of them, a la MST3K (no silhouettes, though). (Louis Wu 17:00:26 UTC)
