Deviant Art user Sketch-BGI has taken the enemies of Halo and stylized them to look like Pokemon! Some very clever evolutions in there, but it all really just makes me want a Halo game in this artstyle!(MacGyver10 17:57:30 UTC)

Looks like from the recent Xbox beta, Dan Ayoub and 343 Industries are already making changes to the way Halo Wars 2 plays. Leader powers, controls, bases and more have already had some significant changes in place to come more in line with the feedbac…

ukilledkenny7 sent us an email with a YouTube channel he started called the Halo Machinima Archive. It’s a YouTube channel dedicated to archiving machinimas from the Halo 2 era. He’s already uploaded 415 videos to the channel; and the archive has a tot…

LaserGadgets has made a mean-looking Halo concussion rifle that actually has a working laser inside it! The rifle itself is well-done piece with moving parts and flashing lights, but go see what it can do to an awkwardly-shaped sausage and more as it b…

This past week 343 Industries showed off some of the new ‘Halo: Ground Command’ pieces from Spartan Games and really went in deep with insight into each unit (hey, KP!). There’s a Halo Pro League recap, a new Forge screenshot and the promise of things …

With the recent launch of the Xbox One S, you had to know someone was eventually going to take it a part and look through to see what makes it tick. Looks like the new console might actually run on little green men!(MacGyver10 15:29:23 UTC)

Gravemind gave us the heads up that a couple of Red vs Blue characters duked it out to the death in the YouTube Death Battle series. You can check out the video here!(MacGyver10 14:31:06 UTC)

Rockslider seems to find the most unusual enemies in Halo still, and this grunt at first look seems to have a hard time choosing the color of his methane tank.(MacGyver10 19:34:49 UTC)

A couple of cool Halo 5 Forged maps were shared in our forum this past week. Munky-058 waxed nostalgic with a remake of the warthog run in Halo 3’s last level, and davidfuchs shared a new mini-game that pits your small rowboat against a Moby Dick-sized…

Bravo and Grim teamed up for the latest Halo Community Update this past week, spending some time on the new characters coming to our Halo universe via Halo Wars 2, teases of new features and playlist changes and your normal community spotlights!(MacGyv…

There have been some pretty outlandish products made under the ‘Halo banner’ of 343, but I’m not sure I ever saw the marriage of Halo and the TV show, Cake Wars. Hungry for some @Halo? Tune in @FoodNetwork Aug 1 @ 9/8c to watch me judge some Halo-theme…

There’s been few video game trailers that I would consider art or capable of conveying emotion well, but Halo through the years has seemed to do quite well with their promotion pieces. Kotaku just put up a piece on ‘We Are ODST’, and talks about the tr…

Looks like I completely lost this in email, but DrBizz shows off a recently found trick to get through High Charity in ridiculous fashion quite quickly. It’s not legit, speed-run material, but a very cool trick DrBizz shows off here!(MacGyver10 21:37:3…

The folks at Termacious Trickocity have done it again! This time, using a couple of skulls and four players, they spawn inside the bridge room used in a few Halo 3 cutscenes! Looks like a crazy setup, but not ‘too difficult’ if you have four willing pl…

The 2TB Xbox One S comes out soon, but the 1TB and 500Gb options release later in August. When that does happen, it looks like you can pick up either the 1TB Xbox One S bundle or 500Gb Xbox One S bundle that includes a Halo 5 disc and Master Chief Coll…
