    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!
