Murtaw has a history of making Halo montages with fun clips in them – his latest is no exception. Halo 4 Randomness shows off some pretty bizarre occurrances (mixed with fun team shenanigans). The oddball toss made me laugh out loud! Thanks, Cardo 8 AT…

Beyond Entertainment has released another Top 5 Plays video, this time with commentary by Walshy. The Ragnarok sniper streak was seen in last week’s Top 10 from Anoj, but the rest are new, and pretty hot! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 22:02:07 UTC)

Garrett Thrailkill sent us word about a video he posted – he calls it an ‘unused cinematic on the level The Ark that was removed during Halo 3’s development cycle’. I think I’d call it a nice piece of modding-enabled machinima. Either way, it’s pretty …

The Tyrant continues his Mythic rampage through Halo 4 – Chapter 5, Reclaimer, just went live on YouTube. In less than half an hour, The Tyrant will show you how to tackle the Mammoth-based mission on Halo 4’s hardest difficulty! Check it out. Thanks, …

Laird ran across an unused (well, so far) design for some Halo 4 armor on CGHub – love it or hate it, it’s a nice find!(Louis Wu 15:31:00 UTC)

I guess it’s that time again… cheapLEY has kicked off a thread on our forum asking for your favorite Halo memories over the last decade or so. I’m gonna be keeping an eye on it – I love hearing what brought people into the fold!(Louis Wu 15:44:42 UTC)

GryphonOsiris ran across Johnson Arms, an Etsy shop run by Brian Johnson. He makes some fun stuff, including a Halo Reach M6G Pistol, a Carter Commando helmet, and a Halo EOD helmet. Got some spare cash? Check this stuff out!(Louis Wu 15:41:29 UTC)

Dust Storm let us know that the latest Podtacular episode is live – CyReN, GH057ayame and Saucey of Beyond Entertainment sit down to talk about their plans for the Halo community. They also discuss the competitive Halo scene. Go listen!(mastrbiggy 21:0…

Halo Waypoint released a trailer for the Castle map pack – the DLC includes three new medium-to large-range maps. Perdition reminds me of the city hub from ODST – cool! Waypoint also posted a screenshot gallery of the new maps. The Castle map pack laun…

Well, that’s interesting – it looks like Region 2 (Europe, mostly) will be getting a ‘Deluxe Edition’ Blu-ray/DVD combo of Forward Unto Dawn at the end of this month – as far as I can tell, this is not available (or at least announced) elsewhere in the…

JR3D_MTTH3W stopped in with a pair of vids – Master Chief Origin is a retrospective of our favorite Spartan, while Cortana Tribute is exactly what the title suggests. (The latter was featured on the Waypoint blog last week, so you may have seen it alre…

Joseph “Maniac” Cirillo sent word of a new documentary he released this weekend – swing by GameExcess.net to watch ‘Waiting for Halo 4’. It was inspired by Halo 2: The Road to Glory, released by Noah Gallup more than 7 years ago, and it takes a look at…

uberfoop decided to take a run through Reach with fresh eyes – and record what he saw. Screenshots, videos, and new observations – he got through Long Night of Solace, and was pretty happy, for the most part! Go follow along.(Louis Wu 15:34:23 UTC)
