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!
From halo.bungie.org:
Folks have noticed that the ‘knock a Banshee off the platform’ trick on AotCR is a bit harder in Halo: Anniversary than it was in the original game… so Rockslider put together an illustrated guide which might help in pinning down that sweet spot we all THOUGHT we knew about. Go see!

From Stazima:
This is a series I’m doing to help those beginner to intermediate players become better at Halo. In this first episode, we go into the finer points of strafing which is very important, especially with the DMR!
From Killian:
When I was younger, I used to make things out of pipe cleaners instead of getting toys, which was pretty great because you could have whatever you wanted. This is my Master Chief figure. Hope you like it!

On today’s show, we pull out the dusty mailbag and read your comments on the show’s we’ve had over the past couple of weeks. Needless to day, there are lots of opinions and questions out there about the Halo universe and Halo 4. We also have special guest Rob Imbs (Just Rob) who is making a film, Game Changers , based on two professional Halo players who are best friends pursuing different lives around gaming. It is an independent film driven by Indiegogo, similar to Kickstarter. If you like what you hear about the film in the podcast, be sure to head over to their project page and donate to the film. It would be cool if we had a lot of people listening contribute to the project. If you do go over there and donate, be sure to put “Heard on Podtacular” in the comments. Enjoy
