    OXM Online has a short interview with Frank O’Connor – it’s not really new information about Halo 4, but for folks getting nervous about how quiet the studio has been up until this point, it should assuage some fears! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 13:45:26 UTC)

    From FBWalshyFTW:

    This is a Halo: Reach trick jumping montage from Lord Guntaz, edited by himself, entitled “Jumping the Guntaz.” The jumps are great, featuring a ton of really sick Evade jumps along other sweet maneuvers involving grenade launches, the Concussion Rifle, Drop Shields, you name it. The editing focuses on showcasing the jumps like it always does, and I really enjoyed the fun song. Enjoy!

    The Halo content is so slim as to be invisible (it consists of a couple of video screens in a single photo), but the Bungie Pentathlon is an annual event of great importance to Bungie employees (and Bungie fans) – and we’re pretty big Bungie fans here, so we’re gonna tell you about the latest article on Bungie.net. Deej has written up a nice summary of this year’s event (which takes place tomorrow), including a mini-interview with Dave Dunn. For the first time in a really long time, there are no Halo games at all in the lineup. Wonga! We’ll still be roothing for the Grizzled Ancients, though, cause old people have to stick together. Go read about it!(Louis Wu 17:46:30 UTC)

    We really shouldn’t need to tell you this – but 343’s David Ellis wants you to know that there’s currently no Halo 4 Beta signup, so if you see one, it’s not real. Thanks to Moorpheusl9 for the heads-up (he found it at CVG). (Louis Wu 17:35:31 UTC)

    In a pretty awesome piece of news, 343 Industries announced today that McFarlane Toys will be manufacturing a line of Halo 4 toys, as well as continuing the Halo Universe line (I know personally that GrimBrother IV will be ecstatic to see a Fred-104 figure in the lineup!). You can see a partial (very partial for Halo 4 obviously) lineup in the linked press release. Collectors, be at the ready! Also, as a bonus, I would like to personally link you to the local version of this week’s Halo Bulletin from bs angel!(GrimBrother One 14:19:34 UTC)

    bs angel dropped another new Halo Bulletin on us last night. Don’t worry, everyone’s fine. The focus of the new edition is an excellent interview with Tinkerbell himself, Tim Dadabo. Check it out for some awesome insight into not just how he feels about Halo, but also a peek at some of the many different roles his voice has given life to! (RAID Bugs? Really, Tim?!) The extra-awesome goodie at the end is a 25-minute preview of the upcoming Halo: Primordium audio book voiced by – you guessed it – Tim Dadabo. Go and check it out! [And because Grim hates me, and doesn’t believe in mentioning our Halo Bulletin Archive, I’m gonna step in with a local link. And then I’m gonna go have a good cry. -lwu](GrimBrother One 13:00:26 UTC)

    SpearheadWarrior, the man behind “Life of the Grunts” and “Lives of the Elite” (and a video we totally missed when it came out in September, “The Lives of the Moa“), is back with an opening preview for “The Lives of the Brutes”. A mockumentacular! Thanks, Ogan Panavo.(Louis Wu 23:06:00 UTC)

    Dani stopped by with word of a new ‘Behind the Frontlines’ editorial at Forward Unto Dawn. This one was written by Postmortem, and suggests that a more realistic Halo might be fun. (I think I’m with Dani on this one; I wouldn’t really want to see it. But it makes for some interesting conversation!)(Louis Wu 22:52:06 UTC)

    DMR


    From Hoovaloov:

    Since the Title Update for Halo: Reach’s multiplayer went live in the fall, there have been many discussions on the changes it implemented. The Title Update most notably impacted the mechanics of the DMR and the Needle Rifle, specifically their “bloom.” The question is, does 85% bloom encourage or discourage “trigger spamming” compared to default Reach settings?

    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!
