io9 has posted an inside look at The Art of Building Worlds, officially being released today. There’s concept art in the article that has NOT been seen on the web before. Check it out! Thanks, ncsuDuncan.(Louis Wu 15:05:57 UTC)

Urban Reflex pointed us towards a GamingBolt list of 10 of the Saddest Game Cancellations… with one, in particular, of interest to Halo fans. Now I’m sad…(Louis Wu 14:58:52 UTC)

Back in December, Mid7night posted a series of ODST Phone sounds (replacement sounds to use on your phone, culled from ODST). Recently, UnrealCh13f modified these to make them iOS5-compatible (m4r format). Grab the zipped collection (394k) and enjoy! (The older link still works for iOS4 and below, as well as providing more generic .aif formats for other phones.)(Louis Wu 13:42:34 UTC)

JDQuackers brought us the Series Finale of Samurai Fronk, a rather disturbing creation from the mind of Hedgemony. Go enjoy it.(Louis Wu 13:33:42 UTC)

Revision3 posted a Death Battle episode dedicated to the question “Who would win in a fight to the death: Master Chief or Doomguy?” I was entertained in spite of myself. Thanks, doober187.(Louis Wu 13:32:18 UTC)

There’s no official version yet, but a fan at NYCC has posted a captured version of the Hang ’em High flythrough shown last weekend. (Thanks to NeoGAF’s Barrel Cannon for the heads-up.)(Louis Wu 13:32:00 UTC)

The photo is pretty awful, but Laird’s modification of a McFarlane Chief model is pretty cool! (Original is here, for comparison.) (Louis Wu 13:31:26 UTC)

Red vs Blue Season 9 Episode 16 is live at the Rooster Teeth website – Tex enjoys watching Church squirm, Simmons gives up on his teammates, and a vehicle that we’d ALL love to operate makes an appearance. Thanks, mattroe. (Louis Wu 13:30:50 UTC)

CaptainTony pointed out Halo fanart at DeviantART – Vybeosa took a slightly more personal view of the Chief and Cortana. (Louis Wu 13:29:59 UTC)

Another thing I missed this weekend was MLG Orlando – Dynasty took first place in the Reach competition, beating out Infamous for the $20,000 top prize. (eon Instinct, the favorite going in, went home in 5th place.) There’s a video recap if you missed it, the Hall of Champions, the brackets… and plenty of rebroadcast vids available.(Louis Wu 18:36:54 UTC)

If you want to see what lies ahead for the week in Waypoint features, you can always check out their schedule to see what’s coming up next. They’ve started strong already, let’s keep it going!(GrimBrother One 18:04:40 UTC)

343 sent along the official press release for Hang ’em High – go read about it, along with all the other goodies they announced recently. I’ve also included 9 extremely high-res versions of the promo screenshots (6400×3600) for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see the map in motion, Kotaku’s Brian Crecente filmed some Hang ’em High gameplay off the screen (with his phone) at NYCC this weekend (thanks, ElzarTheBam).(Louis Wu 18:02:35 UTC)

Rockslider has released another video of Halo CE gameplay – it’s him and a few marines against a whole BUNCH of Hunters. Go enjoy the fireworks!(Louis Wu 18:00:38 UTC)

This chapter in Tyrant’s latest demolishment of the Reach campaign went live on Friday, but I was gone until last night, so you’re hearing about it now. Chock full of hints for beating the Reach LASO Challenges, this video will get you through New Alexandria with a minimum of pain. (Actually, I mentioned it Friday. Wu just DOESN’T LOVE ME. -Grim)(Louis Wu 15:00:45 UTC)

CraveOnline has a writeup from NYCC ’11, detailing the crew’s experience with Halo Anniversary – go read! (Louis Wu 14:56:26 UTC)

Dan Wang, the director of the upcoming Halo: Helljumper fan movie, sent along a preview screenshot (2044×753, 135k) – I can’t wait to see this stuff in motion! Be sure to keep an eye on their Facebook page (and their web blog) for complete details!(Louis Wu 14:44:18 UTC)

Hedgemony continues to amaze with Samurai Fronk #926 – this episode will show you where his power comes from! Thanks to JDQuackers for being the conduit through which the insanity flows.(Louis Wu 14:25:56 UTC)
