Out of the blue, I got an email from ZZoMBiE13, who got inspired to create a new entry for Another Halo Comic Strip. It’s been years, but seeing the art brought me right back! Go enjoy. (And check out his DevianART page if you want more of that stuff….

The team behind Super Smash REX (a mod of Super Smash Bros. Brawl) has released a trailer showing new features, the biggest of which is a certain 7-foot cyborg! Apparently MC is going to finsh a fight. Against who exactly, I’m not sure, but they bette…

Halo Infinite’s next Operation goes live in a few days, and tomorrow Halo Studios will host a community livestream to discuss it. I’m always excited for more PvE content, so this operation seems like it will deliver! Ready up, Spartan. Humanity isn&#3…

The next Halo Infinite operation, Forerunner, is out. If you liked the Forerunner armor in Halo 4, you’ll appreciate the armor pieces this time, but it also comes with new game modes and maps (the Flood Gulch naming is wonderful.) Check out the traile…

In an epic 46-minute jumpathon, Spasmodic recreates and augments his old videos, using the Xbox 360 to bring things to a common visual standard, amounting to a “clean, clear, and unified anthology” of his multifarious jumpy exploits. And I must say, h…

The latest operation for Halo Infinite, Blue Team, is live and runs until April 8. Like the name implies, the operation adds Halo 5-style Blue Team cosmetics, but it also features the addition of a classic survival Firefight experience on some Forged …

The Spring Update of Halo Infinite is coming in February ( that’s a seriously loose definition of spring!) Halo Waypoint has all the deets in a long blog post with an accompanying YouTube VOD of the community livestream. There’s a fuel rod-infused roc…

Mint Blitz has an 8-minute video round-up of some new Halo developments. And apparently “fun has returned”. Topics include mini-games in Halo Infinite (Duck Hunt, anyone?), plus some Halo 2 restoration work in the form of a Sanctuary “Tech Demo”, feat…

Putting a new spin on an old activity, Spasmodic recently took the time to collect and neatly arrange 23 vehicles on a beam at the start of AOTCR, with the aid of a few skulls. Check out his creative parking skills, and read his video blurb for detail…

BOLL dropped by in the forum with a rundown on the newly released Halo VR mod by LivingFray. Specifically it’s a VR conversion of the original PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved. While there are certainly some issues, it seems to be getting an enthusi…

As Halo 2’s 20th anniversary passes us by, so does a bunch of press coverage. Halo Studios has been celebrating in Infinite, in MCC, and on Waypoint, but among the press recollections there were two I found worth a read. On IGN, Ryan McCaffrey has h…

In a joint effort with Halo Studios and marking Halo 2’s 20th anniversary, Digsite has released a playable restoration of the game’s E3 2003 demo, for MCC PC. Not sure how off-script you can go to tackle things in different ways, but multiple playthro…

Polygon reports that the soundtracks to the first three games (minus the licensed tracks of 2, sorry Breaking Benjamin fans) are coming to vinyl, either a la carte or in a monster eight-LP box set. I don’t have a turntable, but the new cover art by lo…
