    From FBWalshyFTW:

    This is a Halo 3/Reach montage from Crossfire, edited by MK, entitled “Remnants.” Even though the gameplay features a couple lackluster MLG Overkills, it’s quite good overall, featuring a couple absolutely ridiculous clips like a 2-for-1 Narrows mancannon snipe, a DISGUSTING 2-for-1 Overkill at 2:03, and a 3-for-1 as the finale. There’s also a couple of unique clips here and there, like the Construct stick at the beginning and a mega far-range Grenade Launcher kill for the killing spree. The editing is solid, showcasing a proficient mastery of syncing along with a cool Guardian transition at 0:56. Enjoy!

    Banshee Stealing Guide - A Halo: Anniversary Trick


    From halo.bungie.org:

    Folks have noticed that the ‘knock a Banshee off the platform’ trick on AotCR is a bit harder in Halo: Anniversary than it was in the original game… so Rockslider put together an illustrated guide which might help in pinning down that sweet spot we all THOUGHT we knew about. Go see!

    This is a series I’m doing to help those beginner to intermediate players become better at Halo. In this first episode, we go into the finer points of strafing which is very important, especially with the DMR!

    Pipe Cleaner Master Chief


    From Killian:

    When I was younger, I used to make things out of pipe cleaners instead of getting toys, which was pretty great because you could have whatever you wanted. This is my Master Chief figure. Hope you like it!

We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!

    We’re hearing from some people who have upgraded to the latest iOS app that they’re having a few problems. Here is some advice to help you settle in, as you get used to the updated app.


    ATLAS purchase

    Some people are reporting that after updating the app, they’re being prompted to purchase ATLAS again.


    Halo Waypoint App Halo Waypoint App


    No need to fear; you do not need to buy ATLAS again. Just take the plunge, and click Buy! You will not be charged again. You’ll see a message like this, though:


    Halo Waypoint App


    After you tap OK, ATLAS will be back to normal.

    Tip: Did you know that you can re-download Halo Waypoint on as many iOS devices as you’d like (your iPad, your iPhone, your iPod Touch)—and if you’ve purchased ATLAS once, you get it everywhere at no additional charge?


    Challenges

    Some players are having trouble finding Challenges. In the latest update, we changed the Challenges button into a Waypoint button, so that it would be easy to get to the latest news as well as the forums. But Challenges haven’t gone away!


    Halo Waypoint App


    Just tap Service Record, and then tap Challenges.


    Halo Waypoint App


    Please visit the Halo Waypoint section of our forums if you have additional questions!

    Jack and Geoff go head to head in another rousing match. This week they take a stab at the maps that Gavin and Michael had last week. Will they do better or worse?

    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!

    munky-058 visited our forum with a recap of a recent customs night… and a truly amazing video of a game of Invasion on bluerunner’s Sangheili Don’t Surf map. In a style that brings me back to the best of Team Scoog, he paints a picture of heroism and failure, but above all, fun. Go watch!

    From Missing:

    This is a slow montage that combines Reach, Halo 3 and TU/Anniversary Reach. It’s the best of modern Halo condensed into 4:30. I really hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed creating it!

    From AgentPaperCraft:

    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 4v4 Arena/Slayer, and Invasion.
