Life is a Game
NeoGAF’s mastrbiggy pointed out a Halo: Reach ‘funtage’ (with a couple of Halo 3 clips) from Bang Bang TV, a french group – it’s not like other montages. It’s Halo… through the lens of the other games you grew up with. And it’s fantastic. You can turn Closed Captioning on if you really need the translation on the few French words shown in the video… or you can just sit back and watch. It’s 14 minutes long, and I, like many others, said “I’m not watching the whole thing!” at the start… only to watch the whole thing. It’s great. (Louis Wu 12:55:33 UTC)

Download
We take a dark turn into the realm of speculation as we dive into discussions about Spartan Ops, Forge and the NYC VIP event. While we’ve been given a good amount of information about the multiplayer of Halo 4, the rest of the game’s features remain a mystery, left currently to our imaginations and interpretations of out-of-context antics.

Titan to publish Art of Halo 4
If you (like me!) love to see high-quality art books showing off Halo concept art, you’ll be excited to read the press release currently on Halo Waypoint’s front page. Looks like Titan Books will be publishing ‘Awakening: The Art of Halo 4’ in November – probably timed with the release of the game. I was pretty excited to see that Paul Davies was working on the project… but then I realized it wasn’t the Paul Davies I’m familiar with.(Louis Wu 17:37:29 UTC)
