The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft
Every Friday night at 9pm EST, we get together on Halo: Reach and run some custom games. We play everything from Team Slayer to Knockin’ Zombs, and you can even bring your own custom maps to play! Just make sure to upload them on your File Share and let us know either in a comment or in the lobby which map and what game type to run with it. Hope to see you tonight!
Need some extra in-game credits? Then hop into Super Slayer because starting today and ending on Sunday, games played and completed within that playlist will present you with the chance to receive a 26,000-credit bonus. So stop reading, and go get some!

This is a Halo: Reach/3 mixtage from HighsounD, edited by tranQ. The gameplay is good, featuring a diverse array of clips across the two games, which includes a nasty far range Triple Kill no scope on Sandtrap. The editing is simple overall, but the syncing’s good and the flow’s strong. Enjoy!

The sneak preview teaser for Red vs. Blue Season 10! The new season begins Memorial Day, May 28, 2012.
After reverse engineering Firestream’s halo4countdown.com, and re-engineering it into a Windows sidebar gadget, I am proud to release this to the public. This little gadget sits on your desktop like any other gadget, and allows you to anticipate Halo 4’s release with great precision. It is relative to your system clock, and offers many customizations, such as adjustable font colors, selectable backgrounds, mini-mode, and straight out of the box, a background slideshow of Halo 4’s art.

Meticulous Firefight is the latest challenge series created and launched from HaloChallenges.com. This series is designed to take a specific focus on those special sprees we have in Halo: Reach. In total, there are nine special sprees that we are focusing on here; we’re asking players to earn the 15-kill/medal spree in any type of Firefight game in Halo: Reach. Not too terribly difficult for some players but the challenge gets increasingly more difficult as we apply more objectives. Each challenge we put out will not only have the 5, 10 & 15 spree medal objectives, but we’ll also have objectives that focus on the weapons and/or actions required to earn those sprees. Finally, to top each challenge off we’ll have another couple high-level spree medals for players to strive for. So far we’ve launched two of the nine parts in this series. Shotgun and Sniper are up and live, ready to be played now. We’ll be rolling the remaining seven parts out steadily over the next few days…
Some challenges in this series may be better played alone; however, other challenges will certainly require a little assistance. Bottom line is that players can decide what type of Firefight game to play and how they want to play (solo or co-op); but everything must be done online, in matchmaking.

From Game Informer:
Not only is Halo 4 starting anew for the music of the game, but the audio team led by Sotaro Tojima is hard at work amassing a gigantic library of sound effects for the new game. Rather than overly relying on stock sound effects from an existing library or from past Halo games, Sotaro and his colleagues are doing everything they can to ensure that the soundscape of Halo 4 will be fresh. Click the link below to learn about the team’s unique sound sources and the guiding philosophy behind them.

Test Night with a Cartographer is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint. Bring your map and your “A” game as we provide professional feedback on your custom content creations. We start at 6pm on Wednesdays, and we test a variety of content throughout the night. The cool thing about this event is you have the possibility of having your content considered for matchmaking through the Community Cartographers, which is a major stepping stone in getting your name out there as a forger. More information can be found here.
Join us this week as we focus on Invasion!

From Hyokin:
The Space Monkeys return to their cages to sit in contemplative silence, their rage sated after drawing another batch of questions for that first dark and dreary day of the week: Monday. Isn’t that what they call it? It’s not important. The world is on autopilot, mentally asleep, and struggling in vain to extend their weekend just one more hour. And then, with a sound like a siren in the distance, they all awaken. Is it the end of the world? Have HR finally noticed how many people are dozing? No, of course not! It’s the Community Spotlight, cresting a hill in the distance and proclaiming merriment for all!
Today marks the swiveling of our Spotlight into the crowd below. The community that populates every facet of our collective Halo. What better way to start us down this crowded path than with the most famous television producer of all time? The man that convinced the great Hedgemony that audiences loved Fronk, that Fronk was the future! The producer is none other than JDQuackers, and the show, of course, is none other than Samurai Fronk. Don’t forget, if after reading this you have a burning question you want to see someone in the community answer, you can add it to the pile here for our crack team of Angry Space Monkeys to sort through.

Into the portal and through outer space, and onto the Ark we go!
The Chief knows the way to properly slay, all of his Covenant foes… oh!
The longest and one of the most complex missions in the Halo 3 Campaign has now been added to Tyrant’s Halo 3 Legendary Guide. Why is this particular video so special? It features the man who helped bring the Tyrant’s guides to light, the very founder of HBO (halo.bungie.org), Mr. Louis Wu! Watch as the Chief tears his way through hordes of Covenant ground forces and a towering, menacing Scarab with the assistance of both 343 Guilty Spark and the Arbiter. If you haven’t soloed Halo 3 on Legendary yet, this guide will walk you through step-by-step on how to get the job done right.
