A shift in gun views
CyReN put together a couple of images that will show you the evolution of the Halo Sniper Rifle and the Halo Needler, from the original game through Halo 4 – pretty cool! Thanks to gunn3r11 for the bump to post this. (In case those imgur links go bad, we’ve put up local copies: Sniper | Needler.)(Louis Wu 17:06:42 UTC)

HaloCommunity.com Introduces Halo Missions
From HC SLIK:HaloCommunity.com is proud to introduce Halo Missions!
Halo Missions are the culmination of months of work here at Halo Community, both in programming and research. We have many missions live currently, and you can expect to see at least one new mission for “Mission Monday”. We are currently designing missions for Halo: Reach, however you can expect to also see missions for Halo 4!
What are they?
They are like beefed-up Daily Challenges related to just a game or two. You get points and player page awards and compete with your friends for bragging rights. Take a look at the BTB Team of One mission.
How does it work?
Go to a mission detail by clicking a link on the Mission Control page, read the debriefing, and then submit a link.
Are there Leaderboards?
We are currently planning out the leaderboards. You will be able to filter by game, difficulty, mission type, and even filter for only your halocommunity.com friends, as well as do an in-depth player-to-player comparison. Leaderboards will default to the most recent Halo game, even though an overall leaderboard can be pulled.
Which mission will you choose to accept?

The Fallen Needs Your Help – This Week!
Whoa. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Kickstarter page for The Fallen, the Halo fan film project we most recently mentioned last week (and which we added a sidebar link to as well) – there’s just one week left in their fundraising cycle, and as of yesterday, it wasn’t looking great. However, overnight they’ve received a $5,000 pledge, putting them less than $2,000 from their goal – it’s in reach! And you can help! Swing by, pledge a few bucks. 100 fans pledging $20 each would do the trick – and if the project is funded, that $20 would net you an 11×17 poster to boot. The trailers they’ve released so far (they’re linked from their Kickstarter page) show real promise – see if you can help make this project a reality! Update: YOU DID IT! As of the time of this update (4:30pm, they’ve passed the $10,000 mark! You guys rock.(Louis Wu 13:12:54 UTC)

How about a ‘Team Ordinance Drop’?

Halo 4 Music, Collected
YouTube user Tridyrium has collected all the Halo 4 music heard so far into a single playlist – while you’ve probably listened to the older stuff by now, the newest finds (recorded off Halo Waypoint’s Xbox 360 portal) are quite possibly new for you.

Riches available on Halo 4 subsite
We’ve mentioned the Xbox LIVE Marketplace Halo 4 portal before, but it’s worth mentioning again – there’s an awful lot going on there. The background audio tells some really interesting stories (kelticking provides a direct link if you want to grab a local copy)… and if you’re patient, you might even see some ARG activity (General Vagueness filmed a little). Remember – the ARG itself is being discussed on args.bungie.org – go play along!(Louis Wu 19:35:31 UTC)

Still Waiting, Take 2
AssaultGodzilla told us that he’s remade an older Sum 41-tracked Halo Music Video that got lost when his old account was suspended. It’s been two years, so I don’t remember the details of the older version… but the new version is really well-timed (is this a surprise for an AssaultGozilla film, really?).
