Waypoint Community Modcast – Episode 11

 

From FBWalshyFTW:

This is a Halo 3/Reach community montage put together by Krayte entitled “This Bitter Earth.” The Reach gameplay is obviously not that great since it all came from the Beta, but it’s good considering that fact, and the Halo 3 gameplay is solid as well. The editing is what makes the video, though; the intro is very creative, and there a lot of incredibly well-done angles (3:24 is pretty awesome) and effects (I thought that the spinning Earth at 2:10 was really cool). The soundtrack is wonderful, and the editing flows with it very well. The only problem I have with this video is that the angles got excessive at times. Anyway, enjoy!

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!

The weather here in the Pacific Northwest is slowly creeping from freezing wet winter to slightly less freezing wet spring. Not great for planting that outdoor garden or throwing the football around, but perfect for getting comfy on your couch with your controller and putting in some serious Halo time. So while you’re at it, why not win, win, and then win some more!

The Halo Bulletin this week was filled with many questions the community had regarding the information release on Halo 4. Unfortunately, we weren’t graced with many answers as 343 is still holding some info up their sleeves. We did get a few solid pieces of information, though, which is the topic of discussion in this show. Enjoy!

“Canned Elite was considered a Brute favorite after The Great Schism.” –alchemPyro
“I don’t think Elites understand what “do a barrel roll” means yet…” –That 0ne Bullet
“After a long Halloween of trick-or-treating, Sir Honksalot figured that a good nap was in order.” –Hotrod192
“Due to the fact that suicide Grunts were not getting the job done,
a certain Zealot decided to take matters into his own hands.” –ImaDriva
“It was quickly clear that the latest Elite combat harness model failed to live up to expectations.” –grievous0598
“The Covenant’s new infiltration scheme could only fool a Grunt.” –ThreeSixXero
“Apparently the Mark of Shame wasn’t enough for some Elites.” –W1ltz
“Budget cuts forced the Covenant to make more compact drop pods.” –Wellington3871
“First-generation Overshields, those were the good ol’ days!” –Riceman 64

Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image that’s out of this world. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

From ThomasProductions:

“The Boy Who Cried Halo 4” is a comedic video that plays off the many false news stories and fake footage sought out by Halo fans over the past few months.

The Boy Who Cried Halo 4

After the dropping of Halo 4 news on Monday, I found myself wishing I could see your reactions in person. Since that wasn’t possible, I opted for the next best thing—asking people to draw a My Face When-themed picture in Paint depicting their reaction to Monday’s video. Here are just a few of those images!

Kotaku got their first look at Halo 4 last week at Microsoft’s Spring Showcase. Hit the link to read their thoughts about the Master Chief’s armor, Halo 4’s Multiplayer, and some of the new sound effects!
