From AgentPaperCraft:
Test Night with a Cartographer is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint. Bring your map and your “A” game as we provide professional feedback on your custom content creations. We start at 6pm on Wednesdays, and we test a variety of content throughout the night. The cool thing about this event is you have the possibility of having your content considered for matchmaking through the Community Cartographers, which is a major stepping stone in getting your name out there as a forger. More information can be found here.
Join us this week as we test 4v4 Slayer and Arena Slayer-type maps!

This is the first act of the Wings of Equilibria storyline. In this episode, Martin (an ex-shard slave) has escaped from a shard containment facility and is currently on the run from the Crystalliane Armda. He is captured, but then his captors are assaulted by an unknown attack force. Martin seems to evade all signs of danger as if it were pure luck. Or is it?
Some people show their love for Halo by playing the games. Others get a relevant image permanently placed upon their body. Enjoy this particular example of a Halo-related body modification, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

From Rtas ‘Vadum:
This was Alpha Zombies, of course on Sword Base. I was among them, but this game was real, not a machinima. It is a mix of two Infection games, and I laughed when we did it. It’s hilarous!
From HT Edge:
The time has come to dust off your monitors and get to work! As a group, and as a community, we are proud to present an opportunity for everyone to show off their skills with a creative contest that all are welcome to participate in. There are prizes and medals up for grabs, and as many entries as possible will be crammed into a video for the world to see. So whether you are the pinnacle of forge greatness, or a schmuck with a few good ideas, get familiar with the rules and regulations, and let’s see what you can do!
Revisiting a contest from our Halo 3 days of glory, we want you to build one of our friends from the animal kingdom. From any time period, from any part of the world. However big or small, ferocious or gentle. Whether the creature is imaginary, or prehistoric. The possibilities are endless and as varied as your imagination can come up with. If you fancy the creatures of the sky, or the monsters of the deep, we want you to build it as realistic as your thumbs will allow. There is no restriction to how many creatures you stuff onto your canvas, or as complex the design is. A swarm of locusts? A school of fish? Or maybe a single dinosaur climbing the mountain side, it’s all acceptable.
Click here for the specifics. Good luck to everyone!

Queso Man presents his penultimate chapter of Halo shenanigans on Reach. Watch this and enjoy being splattered. With cheese. And blood.

From FBWalshyFTW:
This is a Halo 3/Reach montage from Crossfire, edited by MK, entitled “Remnants.” Even though the gameplay features a couple lackluster MLG Overkills, it’s quite good overall, featuring a couple absolutely ridiculous clips like a 2-for-1 Narrows mancannon snipe, a DISGUSTING 2-for-1 Overkill at 2:03, and a 3-for-1 as the finale. There’s also a couple of unique clips here and there, like the Construct stick at the beginning and a mega far-range Grenade Launcher kill for the killing spree. The editing is solid, showcasing a proficient mastery of syncing along with a cool Guardian transition at 0:56. Enjoy!
