From TheReclaimers343:
This is a brand new fantastic mashup of Halo 4 I created. It has more detail to it, is synched to the music (although it might be off at some points), and other cool stuff. Enjoy.
From Patrick Johns:
Buckets are off and the cool breeze dries the sweat of a hard day. The amazing photographer is Kyouheikutie.
From Alex:
This is a Halo 2 Vista trick jumping montage from Elvish, edited by himself, entitled, “May it Be.” The jumps are sweet and arguably better than those in Elvish’s “A Beautiful Darkside.” The editing does everything it needs to, letting the awesome jumping footage speak for itself. Enjoy!
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!

From Dust Storm:
Our latest episode features discussion around the special editions of Halo 4, including the Limited Edition and the Special Edition Xbox 360S console. Now if you’re like me, you pre-ordered both of these day one when they got announced, but if you want some more information about what is included in the different editions, then taking a listen to this may help. We also take a peek into our listener emails.
From Nexus:
This is a Halo 3 Funtage, from Nexus is Mental. It features a unique blend of gameplay and comedy and is well worth watching, if you can get past the Cher Lloyd at the beginning!
Some people show their love for Halo by playing the games. Others get a relevant image permanently placed upon their body. Enjoy this particular example of a Halo-related body modification, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

This is my latest Halo 4 Battle Rifle video. The gun is painted, and the details are finished. Now the waiting begins until I can start building a new suit of armor (November 6). Hope you enjoy!
From Community Customs:
Ah, Spring. Isn’t it lovely? The sunshine, the warm days, the birds singing, the flowers blooming… Is there anything you’d like to do more on a day like this than sit in an office working? No? Huh, good thing the Spotlight is here to save the day! After a week of being lethargic due to Banana Overload, and a week of… well… Ponies, the Space Monkeys are back on the case. Looking high and low for questions before pinning them to our large bulletin board in a most primal fashion. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep the Monkeys from their job. At least, that’s what they tell me.
This week we travel to the Ship Breaking Yards in Aszod to confront a Spartan most diligent in his fight for humanity’s survival. And though he fights in the dreary spring rain on this Monday morning, his spirits remain high. What better than a Rocket Launcher to keep you company? This Spartan is Mid7night, and this is his Spotlight. Around the Halo community, Mid7night is probably best known for two things. The first is his love of aircraft, both Halo and real world, and his endeavors to fly those fictional aircraft. How? By importing them into flight simulator X-Plane 10. His efforts, without a doubt, are pretty sweet. The second thing he’s known for is his fantastic ability to “Sux at Vlogging“. Why? Because why not. So sit back, relax, and get to know this pretty cool guy a little better. After all, don’t you want to know who that is in your crosshairs next time you’re playing Halo?
