Showing Some Love… Again
Back in July 2009, Carnage A51 (then known as OMFGCarnage) released a Halo 3-based Rube Goldberg machine which broke new ground. I liked it then – and I still like it now. He stopped by our forum to announce that he’s remastered it (new soundtrack, higher-quality visuals), and re-released it; if you missed it the first time around, give it a look! Update: pete_the_duck recently reuploaded his, as well. It’s a veritable Goldberg Cornucopia!(Louis Wu 17:32:41 UTC)

Speedrun – Mirror’s Edge comes to Halo
pete_the_duck created a new map he calls ‘Speedrun’ – it’s like other ‘run or die’ style minigame maps, but with a twist. Watch his video to see how it works, and why it’s better than what came before! (Louis Wu 22:37:56 UTC)

343 Snapshot: Spartan Party
Halo is a fictional universe. However, the place where it’s created is not. Serving as home to both Mister and Master Chief, little else is known about the inside of our studio…until now. Enjoy a teeny tiny peek inside 343 industries, and if you have a hankering to see or learn about something that isn’t overly top secret, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com and we’ll see what we can do!

Visualizing the Halo Universe – Flood Forms
From Postmortem:
Visualizing the Halo Universe is a website designed to encourage artists of all kinds to come forth and share their unique visions of some of the least-seen aspects of the Halo universe by participating in set rounds of focused brainstorming and creation. Here are the results for Round 10!
DangerousDave submitted an excellent rendition of a Flood-infected zebra, taking inspiration from Halo story “The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor” from the Halo Graphic Novel.
TDSPIRAL submitted a perfectly twisted (pun intended) vision of a rampaging elephant combat form.
And Sl’askia showed us the terrifying possibility of a new combat form, called the Devourer.
Thanks to all who submitted. Feel free to check out our archived page for Round 10 if you’d like to see what kind of combat forms the Halo community has envisioned previously, and remember to check in next Sunday for Round 11, this one focused on a human subject!
