Gah – I pulled this out yesterday, but forgot to post it – RC Master has taken the really vague description of the new gametype ‘Regicide’ (mentioned briefly in a recent Game Informer interview) and attempted to flesh out how it will work. Pretty ambitious, if you ask me! Go see how he did.(Louis Wu 18:26:43 UTC)

Now THAT looks awesome.

Over at NeoGAF, WJD posted a photo of the cover of the May 2012 OXM UK mag (the “Exclusive Subscribers’ Cover”!) – we’ve hosted a local copy for convenience’ sake. Take a look – it shows off a gun we haven’t seen before! It’s not a grenade launcher, and it’s not a Spartan Laser. Hmm… (Louis Wu 17:50:43 UTC)

Social Skirmish – a Halo Council Podcast

—

by

Wait… wait… ANOTHER podcast today! CyReN stopped by with word of a new episode of Social Skirmish, to be recorded live on Twitch.TV, this evening at 9pm. Be there for even MORE discussion about Halo 4! (If you missed last week’s ep, it’s here.)(Louis Wu 17:49:31 UTC)

Sangheili Husk

Sl’askia wondered what Sangheili would look like if they were in Mass Effect – so she ended up drawing a ‘husk form’. I would NOT want to meet one of those. (Louis Wu 17:45:43 UTC)

Spartan Ops – You Can Solo Them

—

by

Another quick tidbit of clarification about Spartan Ops was posted by David Ellis over at NeoGAF last night – you can play it solo. Should soothe some of the anxiety of folks worried that it sounded like if you didn’t have a coop partner, you’d be out of luck! (Louis Wu 17:41:38 UTC)

War of Change

—

by

AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo music video – this one is set to War of Change, from Thousand Foot Krutch. LOVE the timing and clip choices. Fantastically done! (I’m really impressed with how he can find clips that resonate with repeated lyrics without having to resort to doubling back to content he’s already used – it’s really creative.) (Louis Wu 17:32:26 UTC)

It’s podcast day! Robowski sent word that Post Game Carnage Report 112 is up – lots of Halo 4 details, along with coverage of Reach and more! Go listen. (Louis Wu 17:28:30 UTC)

by

Lord Friendship has released Part 9 of his BOB Video Guide – this one shows you all 3 BOBs on The Package, and how you can find them and kill them. As always, it’s complete and well-presented – check it out! (The coverage of the second BOB on the level is a great example of why I love this guide so much.)(Louis Wu 17:22:34 UTC)

Why the Halo Movie Failed to Launch

—

by

Wired Magazine has a pretty interesting article, excerpted from Jamie Russell’s new book Generation Xbox: How Video Games Invated Hollywood, that looks back at the whole Halo Movie fiasco of 2005-2006. Some of this information is pretty common knowledge (at least among Halo fanatics), but Russell did a fantastic job of putting the story together, and some of the backstory is definitely new (to me, at least). Go give it a read! ElzarTheBam posted about this on our forum, and kicked off some lively discussion – join it!(Louis Wu 17:13:52 UTC)

Carnage A51 stopped by with word of a new Halo: Reach glitch tackled by Physics Remastered – this one has them getting out the space area of Long Night of Solace. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 17:05:32 UTC)

From ExaltionVids:

The first Halo 4 montage ever released on YouTube, gameplay by Conan O’Brien, editing by ExaltionVids.

This Halo 4 montage is meant for entertainment and is not to be taken seriously. This montage features high not-multikills such as the single kill on the other player who doesn’t seem to have a gamertag. Conan is the first person to have a Halo 4 montage because he’s one of the best Halo 4 players out there!

Halo: Reach Panoramas – Crash and Burn

Halo: Reach Panoramas

From Hyokin:

Last week nomis78 treated you to some of our favorite examples of mishaps and malfunctions, most of them concerning explosions of one form or another. Sometimes the Spartans just need to shift gears away from all that and take a leisurely drive in the varied landscapes of Halo and as always, when they do, we’re there to capture the moment in our panoramas.

So check your mirrors, slide up your stick shift, and bring down the pedal because this week’s theme is Vehicular Mayhem!

My favorite weapon in the Halo series is the shotgun, so I made my favorite version aesthetically. Trigger works, pump action works, and shells can be loaded and ejected. Thanks for viewing!
