The second part of Gravemind’s Building the Ultimate Halo Game rewrite is up at Community Customs – take a look! Thanks, nomis78. (Louis Wu 15:22:08 UTC)

A number of sites (the Examiner, for example) are reporting that the newest OXM has a tidbit about 343 starting development of Halo 2 Anniversary – it’s in their ‘Rumor and Speculation’, section, though, so who knows. (Over at NeoGAF, TheOddOne pointe…

The Achievement Hunter crew actually posted the next match of their office HORSE contest (AH.com | YouTube) on July 4 – what a hard-working team! It’s the first round of the quarter-finals, so it’s a whole new set of maps – some look EVIL. Can Gus put…

Running parallel to RTX this weekend is SideQuest; it’s a bunch of events that will help conventiongoers meet up with other fans in relaxed non-convention environments. And one of the events that’s part of SideQuest is a charity auction to benefit Chi…

It’s been about a year since we’d heard from him, but Lance Rutledge sent us a bunch of new sculpt pics recently – there’s a Halo 3-era Master Chief, and an ‘ancient Arbiter’ (he looks pretty aged!). Both are about 10 inches tall – very nice work! (If …

Apparently, there was a Q&A with 343 over on ExpertZone (again, a site not accessible to the general public); CyReN was kind enough to transcribe it on NeoGAF. Definitely worth a read!(Louis Wu 19:11:03 UTC)

If you’re going to San Diego Comic-Con next week, you’re among the exclusive few who had access to this gorgeous piece of artwork from 343’s Robogabo. I’m jealous! Thanks, Hypertrooper.(Louis Wu 17:43:03 UTC)

TheOddOne noticed an article at Gameranx that summarized a bunch of Halo 4 info – they picked it up from the latest video from MLGBravo. The video summarizes a bunch of the tidbits and notes that Bravo had been wanting to get out there that he just ha…

wwm0nkey pointed out where Microsoft is hosting the music file that goes with the Expertzone quiz found recently; if you have trouble reading .ogg files, I’ve converted it to .mp3 for your convenience. It’s a great piece, but it’s not pure music; ther…

Demoncarnotaur was watching a video preview for a new statue from Sideshow Collectibles… and he noticed some interesting sketches showing up in the intro. Check his post on NeoGAF for screenshots, if you don’t want to watch yourself! (Louis Wu 13:33…

NeoGAF’s Ken brought attention to some Halo cosplay that showed up at the Anime Expo this year – amazing outfits! Check out David Ngo’s website for lots more pics (Halo pics on pages 16, 17, and 50)! (Louis Wu 13:32:37 UTC)

Halo Fix is looking to kick off a Top 10 Kills of the Week series – a trailer is up now. They’re looking for clips… so watch to see how to send ’em in! (Louis Wu 13:31:03 UTC)

Robowski sent word that Post Game Carnage Report Episode 121 is online – they cover last week’s bulletin (with discussion about Longbow) and the secret 11th Terminal from Halo Anniversary… along with the recounting of a random encounter in Reach Mat…

The Tyrant posted his Legendary Guide for Halo Anniversary’s Flood-filled fun farm, The Library. He takes it slow (this guide will NOT get you the ‘under 30 minutes’ achievement), but taking it slow means nothing’s left alive to hurt you. Watch this f…

Hedgemony’s girlfriend was kind enough to transcribe a Q&A that Australia’s Hyper magazine held with Frank O’Connor – give it a read! (And… that’s gonna do it for the holiday news roundup today. Enjoy the rest of your 4th, whether you live in th…

pete_the_duck let us know that he’s taken The Commissioning at its word. Groovy!(Louis Wu 19:50:40 UTC)
