The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft
From TheHarbinger427:
“Awesome Kills and Funny Deaths” is all about showing off you, the community. Unfortunately I didn’t have a lot to work with outside my own game play but I did what I could with what I had. These montages will get much better if you send me your awesomeness!
From cruelLEGACEY:
Join me as I demonstrate the creation of Playtime Season 4?s weather and lighting effects, transforming the locations of Halo: Reach and Halo 4. Witness the creation of snowfall, thunderstorms, day/night cycles and other powerful visual effects.
Playtime Season 4 premiers April 22 on Halo Waypoint.
The free modernization of Pathways Into Darkness by Man Up Time Studios (now in the App Store) got a mention on the RetroMacCast, which is, unsurprisingly, a podcast about retro
Macintosh stuff. PiD gets a mention in the April 13 episode.
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan that has a spring in his step. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“I’ve been working on my strafe recently. You like?” –apk493
“No, no, no! You’re supposed to drop the mic, not your pistol!” –Link1201
“Dost thou even hoist?” –Gyroshark
“The club can’t even handle me right now.” –omarlotrc
“You down with M6H? Yeah you know me…” –sarcasmbully
“Swag Rank: Mastery” –IfOnly30
“Walk into the club like what up? I got Armor Lock!” –Josh Sivia
“You put your right arm in, and you shake it all about.” –Sean Magee
“Wait, was I supposed to throw the pistol and shoot the grenade, or throw the grenade and shoot the pistol?” –Christian Flores
“So I threw it on the GROUND!” –RockMaster88
Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image featuring a rather unusual weapon. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

From undr zid:
Another winner from X51000, Burghal has seen a lot of tuning up in recent months to bring it to its current form. This map features refreshing returns to classical style risk/reward combat and movement options alongside asymmetrical yet balanced layouts. Will you assault the high ground or hold the center? Perhaps you’ll dominate the vehicles on the floor.

From Evil FX Costumes and Props:
The above is a helmet progress photo taken on 04/09/13. Lights are installed, and it’s mostly painted. Still have eye lenses to install, detail paint and gloss. It’s about 75% finished at this point!
From Rooster Teeth:
Jack and Geoff are at it again in this week’s Achievement PIG in Halo 4!

From halo.bungie.org:
Malukah is back, and I’m in love. (It’s platonic, I’m happily married… but that voice is amazing.) She’s covered the main menu music from Halo 4, and I want someone to swap it in so I can hear it every time I launch the game. Thanks, GryphonOsiris.
From Beyond Entertainment:
Welcome to our new series called Sandbox Science, where we teach you all about Halo’s weapons and how to use them best, and possibly in ways you never considered. In this episode, Ghostayame and aPK teach you how to dominate CQC and mid-range with the Pulse Grenade.
From Dust Storm:
The Master Chief and Cortana have chased the Didact to Earth where he plans to compose the entire planet. The duo have managed to get inside the Didact ship’s shields before it jumped to slipspace, now trying to find a way into the Composer. If the Didact is successful at Earth, nothing will stop him from composing the entire human race. Will the Chief be able to stop the Didact before the population of Earth is composed? Will Cortana survive her rampancy? Join us for our final episode of our Campaign coverage as SixOkay, former Waypoint Top 5 host and now Community Manager for Robot Entertainment, joins us for the final journey in the Master Chief and Cortana’s Halo 4 saga. Enjoy!
From Beyond Entertainment:
The Castle Map Pack maps aren’t just home to beautiful gameplay, they’re home to breathtaking aesthetics, too. Snipetality takes you through the fantastic and immersive scenery and atmosphere of Perdition, Outcast and Daybreak.
Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!
