Bravo posted a late community update this past Friday sort of recapping much of the information we’ve been hearing for a bit on recent updates (matchmaking, Warzone, blue spartans, etc), but he also shows off a bit about the new ‘Ball gametype’ and a f…

Since 343 posts everything late on Friday evenings (east coast represent!), I usually don’t get to share on the day they come out unfortunately. With another school/work week in full swing though, maybe take some time to read through the latest Canon Fodder again (or for the first time)? There is plenty on Cortana’s new…

munky-058 shared a pretty cool custom/aesthetic map called ‘Boonta Eve’. It does kind of work, but it is on honor rules until we get an official race gametype. If you’re interested though, go see what the pod race from Star Wars Ep I would look like in…

DrBizz has long been a legend in the Halo tricking community with many ‘firsts’ to his name. You can add another to that repertoire with his recent admission to the area under the elevator death zone on Cairo Station in Halo 2. In his own words: “Hey …

We had the ‘Warzone REQ Bundle’ at launch, and now it looks like 343 Industries is bringing out the ‘Arena REQ Bundle’ later this month on the 16th. It works very similar to the Warzone bundle, but this one does include an automatic unlock of the Mark …

With the new February season for matchmaking in Halo 5, there were some updates that 343 Industries made to how you find players to fill your game. They’ve since gone further into their matchmaking improvements in general, especially for those in Asia …

Davidfuchs shared with us the latest FUDcast available from Forward Unto Dawn, episode 17 called ‘Everyone is Horrible’. Give it a listen as they answer some community questions about their kickstarted fan book with Dildev from the Halo Archive.(MacGyv…

We have a pretty regular amount of custom games coordinated by our forum, and DEEP NNN stopped in with another map for our crews to check out. It’s a recreation of his Stonehenge map from previous Halos, and you can check it out via his post for the do…

With some pretty killer news last week, 343 Industries and Double Helix have teamed up to bring a favorite Halo Character into their fighting game. This isn’t the first time a Halo character has been in a fighting game, but it is the first time an esta…

HBO’s little Capuchin monkey stopped in last Friday with the latest Canon Fodder (#60!). There’s a great explanation of a specific Brute encounter from Halo 3 that blew my mind, specifics on the differences in Elite helmets and more. Go give it a read …

SESpider went on a quest for hidden grunts in the new Riptide map from Halo 5’s ‘Infinity’s Armory’ update and found a bunch of pretty scenes as well. Check out his image/video intensive post for some screen grabs and videos of a few of the shots he li…

I feel I play this team at least once a week in Warzone matchmaking, but I feel they were even more prevalent in Halo 3 (so at least that’s a plus!). With Halo 5 Brodians from Mashed, you get the tea-bagging, bromancing and language you’d expect from p…
