    Shadders posted a bunch of pics of the ThreeA Carter statue coming at some point (we don’t have release info) last week – today, Mr.Sci-Fi stopped by with some of the same pics… and a movie. (The video is footage from a Hong Kong event where the photos were taken – following the link above should take you right to the Carter footage.)(Louis Wu 21:23:37 UTC)

    Wow. SlYnki stopped in with a link to a new vid – this one sets the record for fastest single-segment Halo (first game) runthrough on Easy. Total time is 1:19:37 (what… you couldn’t shave another 2 minutes off that time?)… and incorporates 10 years of tricks. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:38:00 UTC)

    From Troy:

    A Covenant spire needs to be taken out and its data retrieved. The only soldiers that are remotely badass enough to complete the mission are SPARTAN-IIIs. Death is almost a certainty, and failure is probably an option as well. The mission’s success lies in the hands of a young lieutenant and her squad of elite soldiers. Well, for the most part….

    Editor’s note: Language is mature. Proceed with caution.

    OXM UK wishes they knew more about the new enemies we’re going to face in Halo 4 – and because we don’t have any hard data, they’ve decided to start speculating. The first article is up now. Thanks, ElzarTheBam (who seems to be unhappy with the speculation).(Louis Wu 17:24:25 UTC)

    Every Monday, we feature a community member who does one or more of the following things: routinely goes above and beyond for their fellow forum members, is a positive and active member of the community, and/or sends me mass amounts of cat pictures. This week our Community Member of the Week is DecepticonCobra. Read a little more about him below, then hit his profile to learn what franchise just won’t die within him!

     

    Community Member of the Week

     

    Gamertag: DecepticonCobra.

    Origin of gamertag: Mixing of the two titanic 80’s cartoon villain organizations/groups, the Decepticons (Transformers) and Cobra (GI Joe).

    Previous or current clan/community: I hail from the mythical land of Bungie.net. I mostly stuck around the Reach Forum and the Universe Forum. Giving a shout out to the Mirratord group: you made a great writer out of me.

    Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Reach.

    Favorite map, game type and playlist: Ridgeline, Capture the Flag, Big Team Battle.

    Least favorite map, game type and playlist: Spire (DIE IN FIRE!), Territories, Team Slayer (don’t mind it, but I just prefer Objective game types more.)

    Preferred control scheme: Recon.

    Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): I prefer to stay on the defensive, usually with a sniper rifle or tank. However, if me and my team need to push, I’ll be the first to lead the charge.

    Favorite character: Chakas (Cryptum). His somewhat primitive perspective on the galaxy around him gives the Forerunner Saga a unique amount of depth. His current fate also has a lot of cool potential.

    Favorite book: Primordium.

    Anything else we should know? Whatever you want to ask….

    RVideo was the first to point out Global, a new community montage from Mattisson. There is some pretty amazing editing on this one, coupled with great gameplay and astounding audio synching – my only real complaint is that some of the clips are too short to really get a handle on. Go watch. (It’s worth the massive HD download, but good at any size.)(Louis Wu 15:18:28 UTC)

    I’m still in the middle of ‘real work’ – Halo news will have to wait a bit longer… but ManKitten sent along a link to today’s w00t shirt; it’s Halo-related, and it’s time-sensitive (it’s only available today, and once they’re gone, they’re gone, though they might come back for the Reckoning later on), so go look!(Louis Wu 13:33:14 UTC)
