Cool – laird noticed a new Kickstarter for a Halo fan film… they’re looking for a little over $20,000, and they’ve got about four weeks to collect it. Watch the trailer, read the details, and if you’ve got the scratch, jump on board!(Louis Wu 21:13:4…

Moorpheusl9 let us know about the latest IGN offering – today they’ve got a walkthrough of Shrine, the H2A Sanctuary remake. Again, a map we know a lot about already… but having an expert show us the nooks and crannies can never hurt.(Louis Wu 21:55:…

Rockslider has returned to the Rockslide Megabattle – he’s got a new technique he calls the ‘Inner Rise Defence’ (and because it’s his, I’ll even use his spelling of ‘defense’). Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:07:45 UTC)

Did you ever get a chance to play with the Scarab Gun in Halo 2? Looks like 343 has added a Scarab Skull to H2A… which turns EVERY gun into a Scarab Gun. You can watch what it looks like as Greenskull plays through – thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 22:0…

kornman00 grabbed some pretty cool Halo Wars screenshots for someone, but the project never went anywhere. Their loss is your gain – go check these out! (He calls them ‘Halo Wars Uncaged’, because he’s removed a number of limits that blocked this sort …
