The Achievement Hunter crew released the latest Halo HORSE episode – it was really a PIG episode, but whatever, the game’s the same, just the final score is different. Ray and Michael squared off on new Halo 4 challenge maps – they looked pretty intere…

The Halo Waypoint Twitter offers a ‘Free Stuff Friday’ contest on an irregular basis – and last month, the giveaway was for a Forward Unto Dawn hoodie. The Lionheart was the lucky winner – and yesterday, the package arrived! It contained more than just…

RC Master sent word that he’s released a couple of new videos – the first is a pretty fast LASO/Mythic run through Dawn (15 minutes or so), while the second is a guide for Forerunner on Solo Legendary – with no deaths. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:20:02 UTC)

For years, people have asked if HBO would ever have a Twitter account. For years, I’ve said it simply would not happen. A bunch of things are in the works, though, that make a Twitter account relatively important… and I was reminded that it doesn’t h…

The Halo Bulletin went up earlier this afternoon – and it includes even MORE pictures of the three new maps, plus details on changes to Halo 4 matchmaking and pictures of that Forza truck Grim mentioned recently. Go read it! (It’s local as well, of cou…

Rockslider just can’t get enough of the bizarro bits of Halo (the first one, of course) – he’s posted another collection of odd and funny moments from his campaign gameplay. Go watch!(Louis Wu 21:50:55 UTC)

ScienceFiction.com has an interview with the Executive Producers of Forward Unto Dawn – interesting read! (Unfortunately, three out of five of the videos linked below the story don’t work – if you haven’t seen it, you’ll need to buy it when it comes ou…

The Crimson Map Pack is the first of three known DLC packs – and it’s coming in less than two weeks. We knew this last week – but now there is official info. Swing by the Xbox.com Press Center for promo screenshots and a 90-second HD teaser. (We’ve pu…

Looks like McFarlane is coming out with a trio of figures based on Halo: Legends – reaction in our forum is… less than positive. (High heels on a Spartan? Really?) Thanks, tadboz. Update: apparently, they were like that in the original video. I can’t…

agdtinman is back with more Joyride figures for sale on eBay! Stop by his post for details.(Louis Wu 19:27:01 UTC)

Firestream has whipped up a pair of backgrounds you can use on your Twitter page – they’re Halo-ey, they’re Christmas-ey, they’re beautiful. Pick between Master Chief and a Promethean Knight! Great stuff. (Louis Wu 20:34:44 UTC)

Master Theory’s Tiberius Audley has a new Audley Enough column discussing (in some depth) the Halo 4 spawn system, and how the weighting works. Worth a read! (Louis Wu 20:33:19 UTC)

Not sure why you’d want to highlight this video… but CruelLEGACEY pointed us towards a 10-minute gameplay vid on Ragnarok – total mantis domination, but they still lost… because the gametype wasn’t Slayer, it was CTF (and the other team actually PL…
