    Hindsight: ODST - Tayari Plaza


    From Forward Unto Dawn:

    Here you will find an exploration of each of the levels from Halo 3: ODST. Hindsight: ODST is not to be mistaken for a walk through tutorial or gameplay guide; instead you will find a thoughtful tour of a beautifully crafted game and the encounters, easter eggs, and fun found within.

    We hope you enjoy our look at Tayari Plaza.

    Tom sounds exactly like the Halo theme in that place. It was like a cathedral down there!

    All Ages Gaming has an article explaining why you shouldn’t be worried that 343 Industries currently sits at the Halo helm. (I wasn’t, actually… but it’s good to know other fans have their back.) Aside from some inaccuracies about prior credits of some of the principals, it’s an interesting read. Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 14:00:17 UTC)

    Timgie stopped in to show off an incredibly cool draft of the opening for his newest machinima project. It already looks amazing, but he’s still looking for your feedback so give it a watch, then stop by to let him know what you think. If the intro looks this good, I can’t wait to see the full project!(GrimBrother One 06:42:56 UTC)

    Don’t worry, despite Wu’s only headlines from yesterday reading “Quitting Halo” and “No Help”, I have convinced him to stay around for a bit and use my sometimes-versatile vernacular as a creative crutch whenever he needs. On that note, over the holiday break, HBO participant JIMBOTHY had yet another capital idea and decided to recreate the recent Dark Knight Rises trailer in Halo: Reach machinima-style. The result is awesome; you should definitely check it out! Update: you can now watch a comparison video showing both the original and the machinima version side by side.(GrimBrother One 06:30:05 UTC)

    Every Monday, we feature a community member who does one or more of the following things: routinely goes above and beyond for their fellow forum members, is a positive and active member of the community, and/or sends me mass amounts of cat pictures. This week our Community Member of the Week is Ka Five. Read about his Halo preferences below, then hit his profile to learn why SWAT should be (but isn’t!) his favorite playlist.

     

    Community Member of the Week

     

    Gamertag: Ka Five. Duh? 🙂

    Previous or current clan/community: None, but I like stickin’ with my Waypoint buds when I play. My group has grown exponentially since I made this thread, and you all rock so much. <3

    Halo games you are currently playing: All of ’em. Whenever I don’t know what to play, I pop in a Halo game. Primarily, though, I’m on Reach.

    Favorite map, game type and playlist: Favorite map would have to be Highlands and Breakpoint on Reach. Other Halo games, it would be Chiron TL-34, Beaver Creek, Headlong, Waterworks, Gephyrphobia, Ice Fields, Death Island, Foundation, and Terminal. Game type, CTF and Invasion, easy. Playlist, Invasion. I love fighting Elites as a Spartan, and vice versa.

    Least favorite map, game type and playlist: Any Campaign-based map that aren’t the Invasion maps. >_> Game type would be SWAT. Ironically, I’m going to be a police officer and SWAT certified. Playlist is the same.

    Halo weapon specialty/preference: Well, I do love my Assault Rifle, SMG, and Spartan Laser! Close quarters and long range lasering.

    Halo playing style: Whatever fits the needs of my team at the time. I like supporting my buds, though, and I do love my Armor Lock and Active Camo.

    Anything else we should know? I’m 21-years-old and am going to be a police officer. Something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. Anything else you want to know, just ask!

    I made this a couple months ago for one of my relatives on my mother’s side, who wanted to give it to his gamer nephew for Christmas. It was made from soft leather, with hand-tooled, hand-painted decorative cowhide panels.
