  • Halo Data to migrate from B.net before April

    If you swing by Bungie.net, you’ll see a new article – it puts a final date on the live Halo data they’ll be able to manage. That date is March 31 – after that point, all stats (and any other online features related to Halo games) will be found only on Halo Waypoint. Here’s hoping that Waypoint stats can be fleshed out a bit more, and features like film clips and screenshots can be migrated by then! (Historical data isn’t going anywhere; Bungie will continue to maintain what they already have online. They simply will not be adding NEW data after that date.)(Louis Wu 19:45:14 UTC)

    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 AgentPaperCraft:

    Test Night with Crafty is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint as convenient means of testing content for matchmaking consideration. It is also a great way to get constructive feedback on your map variants and game types. Your content will also be observed by a secret member who reviews and suggests maps for matchmaking; this could mean thousands may eventually battle on your creations!

    Last week’s event was amazing. We had a great time testing a variety of community-made maps. Everyone enjoyed themselves and learned a few new things about forging in Halo: Reach. Join us this week as we focus on large-scale heavy variants of both Forge World and DLC content.

    wwm0nkey posted these pictures at NeoGAF over the weekend, but it was a busy weekend; he found some boxes for the Jada Toys die-cast vehicles coming out in August at the Idle Hands blog. The artwork is placeholder-only… but it’s interesting to see what vehicles will be returning for Halo 4!(Louis Wu 17:40:28 UTC)

    CMNeir is back with another Trick video – this one points out hiding places in Halo: Reach multiplayer maps. Some are clever, but some are simply obnoxious – use these at your own peril. Remember – in custom games, where everyone is choosing to be there, this sort of thing is far less annoying than it is in Matchmaking. (Louis Wu 17:33:32 UTC)

    From Alex:

    This is a nice little Halo: Reach snippet from MLG pro Strongside, which he got in a Zealot 1v1. After failing to snipe his enemy twice, Strongside decides to take to the skies in a creative fashion to get a better angle. Enjoy!

The first installment looked at idleduck.com, while the second (posted this weekend) highlights the work of Anniversary Tournament Gaming, a site devoted to head-to-head gaming using gameplay from the Anniversary lists in Halo: Reach. Interesting stuff!(Louis Wu 17:23:53 UTC)

    padraig08 was unhappy that he couldn’t show his love for Bungie while listening to music in public – so he designed his own skin for his iPod case. And he made the image available to you, if you want to follow suit. Nice! (Louis Wu 17:09:55 UTC)

    Dani stopped in yesterday with the newest Beyond the Frontline editorial at Forward Unto Dawn – this one was written by Dangerous Dave, and it looks back at ‘Conversations of the Universe’, a small booklet included with the Halo 2 Limited Edition. Dave laments its neglect (and discusses some of the great branches that could grow from it). Do not fear – Frankie sez it’s still relevant. (Louis Wu 17:03:05 UTC)

    From SuperFastHD and submitted by Ben:

    Helljumper is a fan-made web series based on Microsoft’s acclaimed video game franchise, Halo. Adapted from the short story, “Dirt,” by Tobias S. Buckell, it tells the story of a few human ODSTs as they fight through 27 years of brutal war with the Covenant. They evolve from a rag tag group of recruits in the UNSC to being cold battle hardened veterans that are shadows of their former selves.

    In episode one, the Rookie drops onto New Jerusalem. He finds lone ODST, Gage Yevgenny, dying near a Pelican crash site. Refusing to be rescued, Gage begins to tell the young Rookie about how he got here and to not make the same mistakes he did.
