After getting an early look at Halo 4, IGN shares their thoughts about the start of Master Chief’s Forerunner trilogy!

Rebuilding Master Chief in Halo 4

 

Sometimes it can be really fun to go off as a lone wolf and pwn the baddies of the galaxy all on your own. But sometimes, it’s even more fun if you’ve got your friends along for the ride to share in the experiences and later retelling of stories. This week, we challenge you to team up and take on the game’s hardest mode for glory and credits. So grab your Halo buddies and load up your favorite Campaign mission because it’s going to be legen — wait for it… dary!

Legendary Friends – 10,000cR
Complete any Campaign mission on Legendary in co-op mode.

Since this is a co-op challenge, now would be a great time to visit the forums and connect with other folks to round out your squad:

I made my boyfriend a Plasma Grenade for a very special Valentine’s Day gift. It was kind of a pain to make, as I’ve never sewn before. It took me a few hours in front of the TV watching Star Trek. Mwahaha!

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!

Test Night with Crafty is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint as convenient means of testing content for matchmaking consideration. It is also a great way to get constructive feedback on your map variants and game types. Your content will be observed by a secret member who reviews and suggests maps for matchmaking; this could mean thousands may eventually battle on your creations!

Last week’s event was amazing. Please join us this week as we test large-scale Invasion and 6 v. 6 Invasion game types.

Test Night with a Cartographer

 

From BAKSMAK:

These clips are all from around the time the MLG playlist came out until about the end of last August. So, about
nine(-ish) months of clips. When getting these clips, I was by no means a “montager,” but I still am really happy and proud of what I have.

Something I really tried to focus on in this montage was variety, so you won’t see a ton of Sniper Exterms (although you’ll see some) but instead you will see a balance of sniper clips, DMR clips, and something I really enjoy to watch, two-for-ones. Not only did I try and have some clip variety, I tried to have map variety as well. I didn’t want an all Sanctuary montage like most MLG montages, so you’ll see about as many Countdown and Zealot clips as you do Sanctuary clips.

I genuinely hope that each and everyone of you enjoys this and as always, feedback is very much appreciated!
