MASSAIKUR stopped in with a link to Halo vs Predator, one of the funniest Halo live-action pieces I’ve seen in a while. You should watch it. (He also linked to Spartan-Man Episode 3 – how convenient, you can follow that story without even leaving this…

In a shocking display of postage, 343 has posted Episode 15 of their Sparkast (just 4 days after Episode 14 – you’d think these weren’t designed to be posted twice per year or something!). This one has David Ellis and Frank O’Connor talking with Chris…

Sunday was a quiet day at San Diego Comic-Con, as far as Halo was concerned – but 343 DID show off some Spartan Ops. You can watch a blurry game posted at TheHaloCouncil, and a much clearer (though considerly less-well-played) game posted by AgeTempla…

Over at NeoGAF, Pok3R Fac3D pointed out an article from E3 at IGN – they wonder if Halo 4’s marketing is ripping off The Dark Knight Rises. Frankie sez relax.(Louis Wu 22:34:39 UTC)

Okay, catching up. Here’s hoping I can clear out the queue before the clock turns over! First up – a jumping vid put together by t00lbox – they were challenges, and he accepted. Go watch!(Louis Wu 22:22:46 UTC)

Today is turning out to be busier than expected; apologies for the slow news turnaround. The big bit you shouldn’t miss is the Halo 4 Gameplay panel from SDCC, posted by Gamespot yesterday. It’s an hour long, and cram-packed with interesting bits. Som…

Inside Gaming seemed to get some direct feed footage (Part 1 | Part 2) from the after-hours Halo 4 event at SDCC – the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired, but the quality of the video is light-years above all of the off-center, offscreen footage we’v…

Heh – nice. CixaleaJwan took the song (and the plot) from the classic ‘The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny’ (if you’ve never seen it, you’ve missed a critical bit of internet geekery), and matched it all to clips from recent seasons of Red vs Bl…

Heh – Nexy got a little drunk, go watch some after-hours shenanigans with Bravo (and bs angel). Thanks CyReN. (Louis Wu 16:54:43 UTC)

The official press release for the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console bundle can be found on Halo Waypoint (among other places). Go read it to prepare. Fake Update: looks like Waypoint might be having some trouble today – here’s the same thing at Major Ne…

Nexy put together a quick list of the most important tidbits he heard this week at SDCC – go listen! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 16:52:01 UTC)

mastrbiggy, Tex, and Domino Theory spent their last day at San Diego Comic-Con taking lots of pictures, and one cool video. You can see everything they posted on our Event Coverage page. The video, showing some new objective-specific assassinations, h…

The full (official recording of the) Halo 4 Fiction panel from SDCC has been posted by Halo Waypoint (on YouTube) – go watch the 52-minute discussion! Thanks, Vire.(Louis Wu 22:33:37 UTC)

Frank O’Connor sat down with Gamespot for a pre-panel interview about Halo 4; it showed on their live feed. iPlayGamezTV was the first to put this up in archived form. Good info here! Thanks, CyReN. Update: two key questions were cut from the beginning…

The latest Arby ‘n’ the Chief Bytes has Master Chief giving you an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity. Thanks, Ogan Pavano.(Louis Wu 21:57:43 UTC)

Anthony’s Customs has posted the first 12 minutes of the SDCC Halo Fiction panel (more coming soon, apparently) – go listen! Thanks to both CyReN and Grim.(Louis Wu 18:59:37 UTC)

Tom ‘TSquared’ Taylor sat down with Frank O’Connor last night and asked a lot of questions, while Frank tried his best not to die while answering. (He was playing Halo 4 at the same time.) Great interview! Thanks, Vire.(Louis Wu 18:53:08 UTC)

Our intrepid reporters on the ground were also at the VIP party last night – swing by our Event Coverage page for a bunch of photos (and impressions) from mastrbiggy and Tex. You guys rock!(Louis Wu 14:50:02 UTC)

Edge sent word of a new community montage from Halotracker – footage comes from both Halo 3 and Reach, and is quite watchable. Go see! (Louis Wu 14:48:40 UTC)

CyReN pointed out some videos from a guy named WatermelonWizards – he interviewed Frank at the VIP party last night (it’s really, really, REALLY hard to hear what they’re saying), and he filmed the HBO/GAF vs 343 (with Bravo) Challenge Match that took…
