I have the power!
Murtaw has a history of making Halo montages with fun clips in them – his latest is no exception. Halo 4 Randomness shows off some pretty bizarre occurrances (mixed with fun team shenanigans). The oddball toss made me laugh out loud! Thanks, Cardo 8 ATL.(Louis Wu 22:05:48 UTC)

Halo 3 – Cut Cinematic – 343 Found
Garrett Thrailkill sent us word about a video he posted – he calls it an ‘unused cinematic on the level The Ark that was removed during Halo 3’s development cycle’. I think I’d call it a nice piece of modding-enabled machinima. Either way, it’s pretty slick – go watch! (Louis Wu 15:34:29 UTC)

Tidbits From The Edge Magazine
Kapowaz over in the DBO forum summarized the feature on Destiny from Edge Magazine. It seems the game will feature named weapon drops, like Borderlands, as well as weapon models generated procedurally from ingredients, perhaps like the weapon mod system from Mass Effect.
The article seems to soft pedal the possibility for solo play, kapowaz says, even though it has been recently confirmed that players will not be forced to play coop if they don’t want to.
