haloHISTORY100 has showed amazing creativity both in Halo 3 and Halo 4 – he’s back with a new Halo 4 video that drops my jaw. It’s got a bunch of grenade/box jumps – some are great for speedrunners, others get you to places you were never supposed to b…

Back in October, we saw some still shots from what looked to be a new Halo fan film project – DevinSupertramp has now posted a Behind the Scenes peek at the filming. Looking forward to seeing the final product! Thanks, Tawpgun.(Louis Wu 15:06:32 UTC)

Gandemo plays Halo 4 better drunk than I play it sober. This makes me sad.(Louis Wu 14:59:27 UTC)

Over at Reddit, a reader noticed a pretty cool factoid that was new to me: in the standard Halo 4 UNSC logo, the text reads ‘UNSC’ both horizontally (normally) and vertically (rotated and flipped). Clever!(Louis Wu 14:57:59 UTC)

OboeCrazy dropped in yesterday with some campaign coop footage (a 4-player playthrough of Dawn)… with a twist. There was a load failure near the beginning… in which the game managed to lose the majority of the Forward Unto Dawn. The funny part is, …

Skywalker DSP is back with another commentary vid – this time, it’s a CTF game on Ragnarok. It’s a fun watch!(Louis Wu 14:35:25 UTC)

IGN’s posted their nominees for the best games of 2012 – Halo 4 is up for quite a bit. (Game of the Year, Shooter, Multiplayer, Graphics, Sound.) Go see who they’re up against! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 23:59:37 UTC)

The last we’d heard from the Tenacious Tricking group, Project Phase – a Halo Reach ‘what sort of cool things can we do in campaign?’ compilation, level by level – was up to Nightfall. (That was back in October.) Looks like they just released Long Nigh…

Heh – this guy has a problem with the Boltshot. Do you? Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 23:52:58 UTC)

Another one from AchievementHunter – Halo 3 Five Facts. These are tidbits you might not know about this now-5-year-old title. Awesome! Thanks, Enfinit.(Louis Wu 23:51:11 UTC)

AchievementHunter has the latest Halo HORSE (PIG, until the Halo 4 Fileshare actually works) online – watch it at AH.com or YouTube. Cool maps! I love the creativity. Thanks, Nikko B201. (Yes, this is a duplicate newspost. Gonna leave it alone this tim…
