MoltenSlowa and crew got together for another Ops-Cast – there’s no new Spartan Ops content yet, so they decided to discuss the first three terminals they found in Halo 4. Go listen! (Louis Wu 17:22:52 UTC)

Chappified stopped back in with some more messing around on Halo 2’s Outskirts – mostly using a spazzing Phantom to shoot him around the map, but there’s other stuff too. Take a look!(Louis Wu 17:21:34 UTC)

The Halo Council has posted the third episode of their second season of their Top 5 list (whew!) – commentary by u4iX. Thanks, VivaciousJazzy.(Louis Wu 20:04:17 UTC)

Angry Joe released his Top 10 Gaming Controversies of 2012… and Doritogate (and its commentary on gaming journalism in general) made #3. He’s angry… but it’s a cool list! Thanks, SonGoharotto.(Louis Wu 20:02:29 UTC)

Paula found a Didact sighting in El Yunque, Puerto Rico. Love the pic!(Louis Wu 19:59:34 UTC)

A couple of new fan-created pieces of art came to light on our forum – CrunchbiteNuva pointed out his ‘Hold the Line’, a Mass Effect 3/Halo 4 mashup… while Scourge3 showed off his take on Halo 4’s opening, ‘Forward Unto Dawn’. Awesome! (Louis Wu 19:5…

On this first day of 2013, we have tricks from a wide range of Halo titles, all coming from different tricksters! Amazing. Chappified showed off a new way to corner ride to the bottom of the huge first wall in Halo 2’s Sacred Icon – an amazingly long…

Big thanks to The Lionheart for bringing to my attention this absolutely sick render of the awesome MJOLNIR GEN 2 LOCUS helmet worn by great-looking Spartan IV’s in Halo 4. The render comes from the Deviant Art gallery of Rhythem02, and is well worth t…

Over at Halo Waypoint, Bravo posted an update on the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge – the playlist this week is Regicide. (To clarify, it’s the FFA list, not the team one.) Play to earn points, and rise (or fall, I suppose) on the Leaderboard!(Louis Wu 21:0…

In 2007, Bungie released a DVD with the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 that contained all of the Halo and Halo 2 cutscenes on it. Nothing really suprising here (well, they WERE re-rendered to clean up some minor glitches)… but there WAS a special part. …

Defend the House released the fourth episode of their Halo 4 Mythbusters series… another great collection of factoids! Go watch. Thanks, u4iX.(Louis Wu 19:25:40 UTC)

Sparth put another pair of images up on his Tumblr – amazing concept art from Halo 4. Thanks, TheOddOne.(Louis Wu 19:22:54 UTC)

GameTrailers posted their Game of the Year awards, and Halo 4 took home Best Graphics. (It was nominated for, but didn’t win, a number of other categories: Best Platform Exclusive, Best Shooter, Best Multiplayer, Best Soundtrack, and Best Story.) Thank…

Zylon 0217 let us know that he’s released a video containing ALL Halo 4 Assassination animations… great work! (The slo-mo gets old… but the content rocks.) (Louis Wu 23:34:11 UTC)

Sl’askia found an artist on DeviantART with pics of the Ur-Didact and the Librarian (and more – check the full gallery) – see what you think!(Louis Wu 23:22:07 UTC)

Avateur wrote up his thoughts about Halo 4 (in three separate posts – follow the thread after that first post). His language is pretty inflammatory, but he makes some decent points. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 23:20:29 UTC)

Running late… but it’s still Sunday! Sligfantry stopped in with a pair of videos – the first shows a cool descent from the twin bridges on AotCR (and Two Betrayals, as far as that goes), while the second shows a pretty slick technique for Banshee fly…
