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…

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…

After taking a break, longtime Halo CE tinkerer Rockslider has been back with a bunch of new videos, most recently different setups for battles on AOTCR. The amount of variations you can make in CE’s battles with some tinkering never ceases to amaze. …

Resident technical expert Stephen Loftus stopped by to let us know he did the hard work of figuring out the rotational dynamics of Zeta Halo from Halo Infinite. Turns out a day in the day/night cycle is an hour of real time. Neat! (fuchsdh 21:00:08 +0…

After an 8-year hiatus, Stephen Loftus is back with around 100 new Halo signs, downloadable in high quality if you so desire. Unfortunately, the page navigation is somewhat clunky (100% my fault, not Stephen’s, it was built well over a decade ago), so…

The quality of Halo Infinite Forgers continues to astound me, and there’s a new crop of BTB maps arriving in the game. I’m super-excited for the overgrown Headlong remake. Check them out in the video below or read the blog for more details. (fuchsdh…
