I… he’s WHERE?
DrBizz let us know that he’s expanded on his discovery of a hidden warthog in Cairo Station (we mentioned that back in March 2013). He’s actually figured out a way to have the hog driveable! This is done on an original Xbox, with an unmodded version of the game. So what do you do if you’re a crazy trickster and you have a warthog? Yep, you guessed it – you launch it. To the top of the Cairo Station MAC gun. Insane. Go watch.(Louis Wu 15:31:48 UTC)

Podtacular 454: Get Your Update
As is now the norm for the Master Chief Collection, Content Updates seem to be the prime source of news lately, leaving a lot of other typical happenings in the community a little dry. The latest update addresses some minor Matchmaking issues and because of the focus on fixing the collection, Halo: Spartan Strike is now delayed until early 2015. The Halo Championship Series Handbook was also posted by Bravo with the different tournament point tiers and the first season schedule. And that’s pretty much it for this week.

Enjoying the playing
A couple of forumgoers put together recent montages – Melee wanted to highlight the fun he’s having in MCC Matchmaking (watch his montage here), while 2good4u2 just wanted to update his randomness collection (watch his Destiny/Halo video here). Fun stuff!(Louis Wu 16:29:09 UTC)

Spartan Strike Delayed
Looks like Spartan Strike, the followup to Spartan Assault, is being delayed until early 2015, so that 343 can focus on the issues facing the Master Chief Collection. Full details on Halo Waypoint. Thanks, Urban Reflex.(Louis Wu 16:28:38 UTC)

This would have been my favorite thing ever.
Real life is totally in the way right now, but there were a few gems on our forum worth sharing. Let’s get started with Gamecheat13, who found a way to enable Moah-riding in Halo Reach – this was built in for a Joust-like minigame which was cut before release. Wonderful! Thanks, gamerguy2002.(Louis Wu 16:18:56 UTC)
