    From Rooster Teeth:

    Jack and Geoff go head to head in another rousing match. This week they take a stab at the maps that Gavin and Michael had last week. Will they do better or worse?

    All maps are available here.

    Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

    munky-058 visited our forum with a recap of a recent customs night… and a truly amazing video of a game of Invasion on bluerunner’s Sangheili Don’t Surf map. In a style that brings me back to the best of Team Scoog, he paints a picture of heroism and failure, but above all, fun. Go watch!

    From Missing:

    This is a slow montage that combines Reach, Halo 3 and TU/Anniversary Reach. It’s the best of modern Halo condensed into 4:30. I really hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed creating it!

    cluckinho stopped by with word of Scopeless, a gametype he set up which looks to be a lot of fun. One team is required to run a gauntlet, collecting as many flags as possible in a specific timeframe… while the other team tries to kill the carriers. The twist? The only weapons available are unscoped sniper rifles. How good are you at no-scopes?(Louis Wu 11:15:28 UTC)

    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.

    Lord Friendship let us know that he has released Part 5 of his BOB Video Guide – this one shows you how to find all the BOBs on the Tip of the Spear. This one has been a long time in the making, because one of the BOBs on this level is glitched, and doesn’t actually appear… but this guide will not only show you where he SHOULD have been, it’ll let you find all the REST of the BOBs. Great work!(Louis Wu 17:31:20 UTC)

    From FBWalshyFTW:

    This is a Halo 3/Reach community montage put together by Krayte entitled “This Bitter Earth.” The Reach gameplay is obviously not that great since it all came from the Beta, but it’s good considering that fact, and the Halo 3 gameplay is solid as well. The editing is what makes the video, though; the intro is very creative, and there a lot of incredibly well-done angles (3:24 is pretty awesome) and effects (I thought that the spinning Earth at 2:10 was really cool). The soundtrack is wonderful, and the editing flows with it very well. The only problem I have with this video is that the angles got excessive at times. Anyway, enjoy!
