Wow, pretty awesome – DaFrontlineTrooper posted to Facebook about a Ghost that he and some friends put together in time for ComicCon NZ. Gorgeous!

Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 19:21:09 UTC)

Once again, I’m several days behind on the latest episode of Red vs Blue Season 13, and that’s a shame, because it’s fantastic, and you should watch it when it comes out. Episode 13 details the tribulations of the Chorus military, the fears of Carolina, and the plans of Locus. Things are getting scary!(Louis Wu 20:40:07 UTC)

The Woaf stopped by to announce his new series, ‘Woaf 117’. Episode 1 is called ‘Pillow of Awesome’, and it adds a new spin to some familiar footage. Go try it out!(Louis Wu 20:37:50 UTC)

Rockslider has explored a little further with his crazy Grunt/Jackal spawning experiments… seems the more you pack in, the weirder things get. Check out the video – it’s a blast! (Well, many blasts.)(Louis Wu 22:59:14 UTC)

Ifafudafi wrote to let us know that The Silent Cartographer, Evolved, a Halo PC mod we mentioned back in March, has been treated to a mini-postmortem by lead environment artist Siliconmaster, showing (in video form) how the environments grew from concept to completion. There are also a collection of reflective articles written by team members – the .rar file is on Dropbox. This is a great set of resources to see how a group of fans created a beautiful Halo-related project!(Louis Wu 22:54:11 UTC)

Over at the Team Beyond forums, there’s some interesting information about Halo 5’s squad AI, written by Chris Proctor, systems designer, and posted by Josh Holmes. (Whether you like it or not depends on what you think about playing with smart AI teammates.) Thanks, Bounce-A-Gon. (Louis Wu 23:13:50 UTC)

Well, that’s intriguing. Bounce-A-Gon appears to have ordered Last Light, a Halo novel due out in September… and it comes with a free REQ Pack for Halo 5. Fine example of cross-promotion!(Louis Wu 23:08:31 UTC)

Gamespot discusses the latest sales milestone hit by the Halo franchise: 65 million units sold. That’s a pretty big number! (It also means the sales of the Master Chief Collection are below 5 million at this point, since they were at 60 million in October of last year, before it launched. Still a really big number.) Thanks, Gravemind. (Headline, for anyone who cares, comes from here.)(Louis Wu 15:21:32 UTC)

A little late… but MatthewDratt stopped by yesterday to announce that CE3 2015 Live had just wrapped up. There’s a recap on YouTube, and a full livestream (along with a list of projects) on their website. Check it out – really impressive stuff!(Louis Wu 14:59:51 UTC)

Revenant1988 stopped by with pics of a new project he’s just polished up… and it’s pretty awesome. Go check it out!(Louis Wu 21:35:14 UTC)

Wow, interesting. Exanubisleader stopped by to point out a project he’s just released – it’s a trailer for Hunt the Truth. Works pretty well! Go watch.(Louis Wu 20:48:27 UTC)

Longtime visitors will remember This Spartan Life, a groundbreaking series that used Halo machinima as a backdrop to fascinating interviews with real-world guests. They’re back with a second episode of their newest series, ‘Selfies in the War Zone’ – and the guest this time out is Pete Cooper, superfan whose biggest claim to fame is a full-size Warthog he built for a live action Halo video. He talks about Telekos Protocol and Drone, two graphic novel series he’s been building for a few years. It’s a great discussion, and Damian Lacedamian shows that the format still works wonderfully! Check it out.(Louis Wu 20:34:16 UTC)

This week’s release from the Rooster Teeth team was another PSA – this one takes a close look at Trigger Warnings, and, well… if you need them, don’t watch. That’s all.(Louis Wu 20:06:58 UTC)

Grim let us know a little late that the new Canon Fodder is up on Waypoint. There is a lot of cool info in there this week recapping some of the San Diego Comic Con reveals, including an interview with Frankie and Kiki Wolfkill, info on the new Warzone map revealed at Gamespot we previously mentioned, a trailer for the Fall of Reach Animated Series trailer and more!(MacGyver10 19:27:41 UTC)

Warzone is the new 12v12vEverything game mode that 343Industries revealed at E3 this year, but so far we only knew of one of the maps we would be playing on. In a pretty cool reveal, Gamespot uses Mega Bloks to show off the second map revealed for the new game mode. At the time of this posting, Gamespot.com seems to be down, but hopefully it will be back soon. Thanks Quirel!(MacGyver10 19:23:17 UTC)
