Firestorm12 sent word that War (or War) Issue #4 is now online – what I got from this is that advisors are bad. (Louis Wu 15:43:10 UTC)

Crab noticed an article at Kotaku discussing the departure of Ryan Payton from the Halo 4 team – it sounds like he wanted to head off in a pretty radical direction, and couldn’t sell this to the rest of the team. (IGN did a fine job of completely misi…

robofin117 pointed out that Red vs Blue Season 9 Episode 11 is now up for general consumption – the two storylines are beginning to come together! (And Lopez might be the brightest soldier in the Gulch. Which would be sad.)(Louis Wu 14:44:48 UTC)

zukan discovered a talk that Michael Zak and Vic DeLeon gave at IDGA Montreal, in May 2008 – it’s nearly an hour and a half long, and it focuses on Halo 3 Flood levels, and how programming and art tie together in the making of the game. It’s fascinati…

TDSpiral is starting college, so he’s probably done with Halo-related fan art… but he’s going out with a bang. Check out Red Rocky Goodbye. (And wish him luck in his next stage!)(Louis Wu 14:42:41 UTC)

Hedgemony is back with Part 5 of his Halo: SPD Flash story – and it’s a doozy! I’m loving this. Go check out all 17 pages! (Louis Wu 14:42:14 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Sean P. found a Reddit post where someone managed to grab ALL the ghosts on Halo 2’s Delta Halo level, and line them up nicely on the bridge. (I wouldn’t be surprised if this had been done before – but it’s pretty cool to look at.)(Lou…

Heh – I missed this a week ago when it went online… but it’s still funny. Well, unless you’re being spawnkilled in an Objective game…(Louis Wu 19:34:09 UTC)

Stewie2552 has got another episode of Halo Reach Fails for you – Episode 12 contains four minutes of what NOT to do. (The Elite general who politely waited for attention before spearing his opponent made me laugh loudly.)(Louis Wu 18:32:00 UTC)

Wow. HmVSTiffer is back with a new Halo map recreated in Minecraft – this time, it’s Hang ’em High. He’s not as happy with it as he is with his Hemorrhage remake… but I’d say it’s great!(Louis Wu 16:37:28 UTC)

One of the many cool items on display at Halo Fest last week was a gigantic model of 343 Guilty Spark, made of Mega Bloks. (One lucky person will go home with this item after the Child’s Play auction in December.) If you visit Halo Waypoint today, you…

Steven Carson noticed a familiar-looking face in a collection of Iranian video games… check out Kheibar Battle! (Louis Wu 16:20:36 UTC)

Leviathan has posted a new Adjunct piece for A Fistful of Arrows – it’s a bio of the Insurrectionist Eliza Ingrid, and it provides quite a bit of backstory for this enigmatic character. Beautiful! Go check it out.(Louis Wu 15:59:37 UTC)

One thing that’s really cool about live performances from favorite artists is that fans sometimes jump right on the new content. Daemon Productions (the folks behind the recent Legends: Cielo Negro machinima series) grabbed the Pete Stacker/Tim Dadabo …

Dani posted a new article at Forward Unto Dawn – Reclamation: Dawn looks at the concept art from Halo 4 (most of it from the trailer shown at Halo Fest, but at least one other bit found on the show floor), and speculates about what it all might mean. …

Halo Base’s Oliver Stopienski was at Halo Fest last week, and he spent quite a bit of time collecting photos, short video interviews, and impressions. If you don’t read German, the impressions might be a stretch – but a picture is worth a thousand word…

According to Punch Jump, preorders for Halo Anniversary are climbing – this week, it’s #7 in the best-selling preorders list at Gamestop. (How appropriate!) Gamestop preorders get Master Chief Avatar armor for your XBL avatar, as well as the Grunt Fun…

There’s a new Arby ‘n’ the Chief: Hypermail episode – Silly Billies has Chief trying hard not to make mom jokes, while the Arbiter dances. Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 21:12:24 UTC)
