Halo 2 Anniversary Terminals – now in the Cutscene Library
The Halo Cutscene Library has grown again today – we’re making the Halo 2 Anniversary Terminals available for viewing and downloading. Once again, they’re available in 1080p, 720p, and 360p, but audio is stereo-only (this is because they were recorded from the Halo Channel, on the Xbox One, and that channel doesn’t broadcast in 5.1 sound). Thanks, as usual, goes to Cody Miller for the superb work.(Louis Wu 22:26:57 UTC)

Always buy local
This was posted on DBO, but it’s Halo-related, so I’m bringing it up here. Our very own Leviathan is creating a commissioned piece for Blackt1g3r… and today the original concept sketch and a WIP piece were sent along. Amazing. Hire the guy – he’s really, really good!(Louis Wu 23:56:30 UTC)

The Master Chief Collection joins the Cutscene Library
Cody Miller jumped on the heavy-duty job of filming the cutscenes/terminals from The Master Chief Collection pretty early on… but life’s been so busy here that we’re JUST NOW beginning to get some of that content out there. First up – the CGI cutscenes Blur created for Halo 2 Anniversary. These are pretty amazing, and we’re making them available in 360p, 720p, and 1080p, with full surround sound. Go grab ’em!(Louis Wu 21:22:49 UTC)

Now that’s an incredible ear.
Wow. Check out this video from PlayerPiano – Sonya Belousova listens to the Halo theme for a few seconds… and then plays her own take on it. Amazing. (She covers a number of other video game themes in the same video.) Go watch! Thanks, Jeff. (Louis Wu 21:21:10 UTC)

Exploring the codebase
gamerguy2002 has been keeping track of Lord Zedd’s modding progress – he let us know about some unused Halo 4 death messages (these are pretty funny), a pretty disturbing video showing what characters look like without faces, and a two-for-one showing off some unused assets that were left in the game. Fun stuff! (Louis Wu 18:09:47 UTC)
