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!

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

We heard from Kontrol Freek that the winner of their Farewell to a Legend contest has been announced – go see who’s going to be playing on his new Reach Xbox 360 with a Master Chief vs the Flood statue in the background (and a pair of Freek Legendarys on his controller!) In the near future! In addition, Kontrol Freek is sending along a Steve-Downes-signed pic of Master Chief to us (one of these); we’ll figure out a suitable giveaway in the near future! Everybody wins. (There are still a few FPS Freek Legendarys in stock, so if you haven’t grabbed a pair, do it now!)(Louis Wu 16:55:15 UTC)
