Please Enter your Date of Birth
From Alex:This is a Halo: Reach MLG montage from BAKSMAK, edited by Joshington. The gameplay’s good, showcasing some sweet Multikills like the Double Kill lift snipe into an under pressure Triple on Countdown and the finale Killtacular. The editing is good too, flowing with the song very well while showcasing some really cool effects. Enjoy!

Hindsight: ODST – Kizingo Boulevard
From Forward Unto Dawn:Here you will find an exploration of each of the levels from Halo 3: ODST. Hindsight: ODST is not to be mistaken for a walk through tutorial or gameplay guide; instead you will find a thoughtful tour of a beautifully crafted game and the encounters, easter eggs, and fun found within.
We hope you enjoy our look at Kizingo Boulevard.

The Tyrant Documentaries 23

Please Enter your Date of Birth
From MythicTyrant:With Halo 4 on the way, I thought it’d be awesome to revisit some of the Halo: Reach achievements for those of you who want to nab them all before the next game is released. This video features five achievements which can be obtained in Campaign, and yes, I’m playing on Legendary. The achievements are:
1) Two Corpses in One Grave
2) Banshees, Fast and Low
3) Lucky Me
4) If They Came to Hear Me Beg
5) Wake Up, Buttercup
If you can think of any other Campaign or Firefight achievements you’d like me to do (no, I’m not going to spend another hour hitting the one million mark in Firefight!), let me know!

The Forward Unto Dawn crew has kicked off a new set of Halo 4 speculation – the first piece is called ‘Summum Malum – The Master Builder‘, and discusses whether the Master Builder, a Forerunner who shows up in Greg Bear’s Halo trilogy, might be the main enemy we face in Halo 4. Go give it a read!(Louis Wu 14:47:15 UTC)

RC Master’s been busy – he sent us email about a pair of Reach speed runs posted on High Speed Halo (Winter Contingency on Heroic, in 8:29, and The Package on Heroic, in 13:13), and then posted in our forum about a ‘Legendary Classic Skulls’ run on Halo Anniversary’s Pillar of Autumn (only the skulls from Halo 3/Reach turned on). Check ’em all out!(Louis Wu 14:20:33 UTC)

Expand your creativity, explore new realms
Geek and Sundry interviewed Rod Roddenberry – son of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. He loves Halo so much that he named his DOG Halo. Go watch and see what grips him about the title! (Halo content starts around 1:40.) Thanks, Elnea.(Louis Wu 14:06:01 UTC)

Kampy – 2 Game Montage
Kampy, known for some great montages, posted a small one made from just two games. Usually, this means playing against low-ranking players and racking up huge multikills… but one of the games was against a team that included Tashi, who’s got his own gameplay on display here regularly. Pretty impressive show! Thanks, juices.(Louis Wu 13:52:31 UTC)

Arby ‘n’ The Chief Bytes: Steaks, Taters and Hairy Ticks
There’s a new mini-ep of Arby ‘n’ the Chief up – though ‘mini’, in the context of Arby ‘n’ the Chief, is over 5 minutes. Arby tries to teach Chief about the importance of older games… while Chief explains the error of his ways, and his blasphemy against the Church of Halo. Thanks, Ogan Panavo.(Louis Wu 13:48:08 UTC)

Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:41:38 UTC)
