    To celebrate 1.17, we recently asked the community to make our favorite Spartan super-soldier’s number out of items found around the house. Here are just a few of their 117-themed creations!

    Halo Cross Stitch


    From gamerwolff:

    I created this as part of a spritestitch.com challenge. The theme was mash-ups. This is obviously Halo meets Super Mario Bros!

    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!

  • Oboe Scores – Halo with a bit of class

    A little bit ago, OboeCrazy decided to set fun Reach clips to music – music played by her. Thus was born Oboe Scores. Episode #1 has some great Grenade Launcher action set to a mellow oboe score. Episode #2 was called ‘The Friendly Elite’ – it’s a heartwarming example of how enemies can lay down their arms and get along. (Until one decides to assassinate the other.) And Episode #3 switches things up – the gameplay is from HWM Sarge, the instrument is the English horn instead of the oboe, and the subject is ‘The Revenge of the Falcon’. Awesome stuff!(Louis Wu 15:46:57 UTC)

    Hoovaloov decided to look more closely into how bloom affects the DMR’s effectiveness (or, more specifically, how the change due to the Title Update affects the winning chances of folks who pace their shots vs folks who pull the trigger as fast as they can). The results might surprise you. (Interestingly enough, RC Master decided, totally independently, to look at the statistics of the Needle Rifle today, and compare its kill speed (in ideal conditions) to the DMR. Again – fascinating results.)(Louis Wu 15:09:21 UTC)

    Ross Mills noticed a new set of Halo-themed soaps from Digitalsoaps (we mentioned them back in 2009) – I love the design, but I’m not sure I want to smell like carbonated corn syrup. (The original link was via Sprite Stitch.)(Louis Wu 15:08:44 UTC)

    We’ve mentioned THORSSOLI before – he made some cool Halloween armor a couple of years ago. (He’s made a lot more than that – but it’s what we noticed.) He put up a post this weekend that’s quite cool – he documented the creation of a Halo health pack, ready to be filled with first-aid goodies (or snacks, whatever works). Check it out! Thanks to wwm0nkey, over at NeoGAF, for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:06:18 UTC)

    A little late to help you with yesterday’s Daily Challenge, but still a pretty impressive run – RC Master passed along word of a no-deaths run on The Package on High Speed Halo. It sets a new record time for The Package on Legendary (16:37), and has just enough mistakes to give someone looking to best it a sense of hope! Check it out.(Louis Wu 15:02:33 UTC)

    The Tyrant has kicked off his Halo 3 Legendary Guide on YouTube, with a half-hour commentated run through Sierra-117. Skips, tricks, tips for staying alive – this video will help you survive your way through the start of the Halo 3 campaign! The video has a special guest appearance from Steve ‘Master Chief’ Downes, and apparently, later today there will be a question posted to Tyrant’s Twitter feed that will give you a chance to win a free Avatar code.

    Longtime HBO member The Lionheart unveiled today a new community-driven project that looks to hit the ground running strong. Called Venerance, the project is a Halo mod using CryEngine 3, and focuses on Blue Team’s exploits on Sigma Octanus IV. The project is certainly rich in passion, and The Lionheart says that the creative team behind it will soon be recruiting even more talent from the Halo community to join on board. His forum post is more of a teaser, but I’m sure he’d love to answer any questions he can about the project. So keep an eye on this one, and if you don’t think you can help out, at least lend some encouraging words! Check it out!(GrimBrother One 01:17:17 UTC)
