Month: June 2012

Remix Fix did an amazing job of mashing up a bunch of Halo music (including some Halo 4 stuff), playing it metal-style, and setting it to a fantastic video that combines performance footage with gameplay footage with just plain fun. Go watch. Thanks, …

RvB’s Ragingterror recently posted a few pics he took at RvB CanWest last month – two, in particular, are pretty interesting to Halo fans. There’s an adorable MC Sculpy, and a pair of grenades… no clue how much either of these items went for at the a…

gunn3r11 sent word of a pretty cool blog post from ShadEO9, a UK blogger who was picked by the Xbox EMEA team to cover E3 as a man on the street. Amazing opportunity – great writeup! Take a look. (Louis Wu 15:19:02 UTC)

Shadders pointed out that at halftime of the England vs France Euro 2012 game (which should take place less than 2 hours from now), a Halo 4 live-action trailer (possibly an extended version of the live-action piece that opened the E3 campaign demo) wi…

Dust Storm let us know that there’s a new Pod TV analyzing the Spartan Ops gameplay vid – go watch!(Louis Wu 15:17:39 UTC)

Geekscape’s Jake108 was at E3 last week, and at their site you’ll find a summary of what was shown, along with his own impressions of Longbow, the vehicle map shown on the final day. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 15:12:32 UTC)

Rockslider’s back with more megabattle goodness. This time, it’s three separate videos – the first is a 10-minute tutorial, showing how he set up this latest masterpiece… and the other two show a variety of outcomes. Go read about ’em, and watch!(Lo…

It must be a “slow news day”, because Beorn’s name is appearing twice! This time he stopped by to let us know he’s whipped up a way for you to use the cool “hex grid-pattern” found in Halsey’s Journal on your iPad. Details are given in his post. Give i…

Oops, wrote this up a couple of hours ago and forgot to post it. Elamite and Neighbor talked to Bravo about their impressions of Halo 4 from the time they got to play at E3 – give it a watch for thoughts from a couple of pros! (One thing to keep in mi…

On the final day of E3, I put together a few Halo 4 questions that had come up from either watching the released footage, or playing the available games, or just from conversations from other fans – and I went to find someone from 343 that would be wil…

Forbes points out that CBS will be broadcasting Major League Gaming on TV this fall… and that this venue will be used to showcase exclusive features for Halo 4. Nice! Thanks, CyReN. Update: or maybe not. (Louis Wu 19:09:21 UTC)

Kblocker posted a Halo Dualtage at The Halo Forum a few days ago – gameplay and editing both come from Kblocker himself and his buddy Out Cold. Pretty nice clips, and nice (understated) editing – worth a watch! (Louis Wu 19:01:24 UTC)

/Film has a small article about Nicolai’s Fuglsig’s involvement in the live-action trailer seen at the start of the Halo 4 E3 reveal – if you like knowing who’s behind the work you enjoy, check this out!(Louis Wu 18:59:09 UTC)

Woaf sent word a few days ago that Dust and Echoes Episode 12 was online – it was recorded before E3, but you can see how well they did on their expectations! Go listen. (Louis Wu 18:43:39 UTC)

The latest Halo Bulletin came to us yesterday recounting the awesome build-up, excitement, and success of E3. Lots of pics and some great behind-the-scenes tidbits are there. Definitely worth the read! You can also grab it locally too, of course.

After watching Urban Reflex’s latest attempt at the Maw Run… I just wanted to give him a hug. Gotta check it out.(GrimBrother One 16:39:09 UTC)

If getting together with local (ish) Community members to play some Halo is your thing, a couple of HBO peeps might have a LAN you’re interested in. Check out one in Tacoma, WA (by NsU Soldier), and Indianapolis, IN (by Bones). Get your game on!(GrimBr…

Jack and Gavin are back with Episode 90 of Halo: Reach Fails of the Weak. Some hilarious clips in there, check ’em out! Thanks ChopperDave.(GrimBrother One 16:11:40 UTC)
