Rockslider let us know about a brand-new bridge descent method for Assault on the Control Room – it’s PAL-specific, but it shaves several seconds off the record speed for getting off that first bridge. Amazing – we first saw that descent 11 years ago, …

Halo 4 won Game of the Year at the Inside Gaming Awards – you can check out the award (and an interview with Frank O’Connor and Kiki Wolfkill) on machinima’s channel. (They also took home Best Competitive Multiplayer – not too bad at all!) Thanks, TheO…

I’ve seen my share of tournament Halo matches… but I’ve NEVER seen a 0-0 tournament game before. (And we’re not just talking no flag scores – it was a CTF match – we’re talking ZERO KILLS.) Really entertaining commentary by Ninja_MLG and Ninja_Invict…

Tex found a really cool animation on YouTube – great artwork, great stop-motion animation. Five stars! (Louis Wu 17:18:13 UTC)

Ars Technica wrote up their list of most overrated games – and Halo (the original) made the list. I have a little trouble recognizing the game I’ve been playing for more than ten years in the description they posted… thanks, Arithmomaniac. (Louis Wu …

t00lbox has gotten out of Reclaimer – and he can show you how to do it, too. Interesting to see how 343 built out this map to seem so much bigger than it actually is!(Louis Wu 20:38:33 UTC)

Spike’s Video Game Awards were last night – you can watch the entire 2-hour extravaganza on their website now. If your time is limited, here’s the key stuff: you can watch the new Spartan Ops trailer by starting at around 1:42:30 (if you care about the…

IGN posted a new gameplay commentary vid – this time, it’s Extraction on Wreckage. (Both the gametype and the map will be available to the general public in Matchmaking tomorrow.) Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 20:08:53 UTC)

343 artist John Liberto posted a bunch of Halo 4 concept art on his personal website (thanks, TDSpiral) – some you’ve seen, some maybe you haven’t. All of it’s jaw-dropping.(Louis Wu 20:07:28 UTC)

flugelmeister got a chance to ask Karen Traviss a few questions about The Thursday War – swing by The Secrets Within to see what she has to say! It’s a pretty interesting read. (Louis Wu 20:05:30 UTC)

The final Reach-based Fails of the Weak went live yesterday (thanks, Nikko B201) – you can watch it on AH.com or YouTube. From here on out, it’s Halo 4, baby! Go watch the last few Reach derps.(Louis Wu 19:15:48 UTC)

Shadow8P stopped by to share a montage he made in Halo: Reach. Check it out!(GrimBrother One 16:38:53 UTC)

HBO stalwart Hedgemony certainly knows how to rustle the jimmies in the very best of ways. Whether it’s his mouth agape-inducing take on the “Timeless One” from Halo: Cryptum and Halo: Primordium, or his

Anoj released episode 5 of his top 10 series – this time focused on snipers. Multikills and 2-for-1s inbound. Thanks, Jordan Bell.(mastrbiggy 22:42:14 UTC)

There ain’t no Halo content in it – but it’s a great read anyway, and there are explosions. Go check out the latest Bungie Mail Sack.(Louis Wu 21:07:30 UTC)
