Rockslider put together a new video in our forum showing how to merge the bodies of dead Covenant and marines in Halo CE’s campaign. It really makes for some neat moments in separating the models with plasma grenades and rocket blasts! Not sure if anyone has really shown this off before either, as it seems to be a cool, new glitch for this 17 year old game!(MacGyver10 15:35:53 UTC)

343 Industries will have a community playdate today in the new ‘Elimination’ playlist. Hop in to try to play with their crew and score a fancy AR skin!

We're kicking off a new livestream series on @WatchMixer by jumping into Halo 5's upcoming new Elimination playlist for a Community Playdate. Join us live this Wednesday at 1:30pm PT on https://t.co/B6GuNy6y8b for all the festivities! pic.twitter.com/jkJNcuj65N

After a couple weeks off, Grim is back with a new Halo Community Update over at HaloWaypoint. A recap of the recent Halo World Championship, a little bit on an ArmA 3 mod and some other cool Halo bits round out another ‘non-new-game-announcing’ update (45 days till E3)!(MacGyver10 21:51:04 UTC)

There’s something freaky afoot. Check out Rockslider’s latest video, a short but cool one on a topic they’ll be spending quite a bit more time on shortly!(MacGyver10 21:46:24 UTC)

Looks like the inevitable was addressed yesterday, as 343 Industries shared over at HaloWaypoint that they and Microsoft are strongly encouraging the ElDewrito team to cease working on their ‘Halo Online’ project. If you remember, ‘Halo Online’ was a game Microsoft released only in Russia to test the waters for Halo on PC, but cancelled shortly after. It’s a tricky situation, but one 343 Industries explains very well I felt in their Waypoint post. (Thanks munky-058!)(MacGyver10 18:28:55 UTC)

While pointing out a particular possible addition to the MCC, AfroRyan let us know last week (while I was on vacation) that another MCC Development Update is out for your reading! A LOT of cool stuff in there including some proposed images of the new menu system, Halo: Custom Edition maps possibly being added and other engineering and game-specific wonders! Definitely go check it out!(MacGyver10 18:36:36 UTC)

CyberKN over on our sister site DBO, reminded us that yesterday was 10 years since the Halo Legendary Map Pack was released for Halo 3! Play a game on Avalanche, then check out his post to mancannon down memory lane!

Update: Looking back through our news archive, I found some cool things that happened around the release of the Legendary Map Pack, like a ‘Game with Fame’ with Avenged Sevenfold, Frankie interviewed and KP’s gorgeous face (a working live link!) and we here at HBO played Bungie in the first Halo Humpday Challenge on the new maps!(MacGyver10 22:27:24 UTC)

Congrats to Splyce on winning this past weekend’s Halo World Championship! I’m sure the $1,000,000 they made by becoming champions feels pretty good!

Your 2018 Halo World Champions are @Splyce! The all-conquering quartet of @Shotzzy, @Renegade_JW, @KevinEcoSmith, and @TheStelluR take home the title after a dominating sweep of the defending world champs #TOXGaming. Congratulations! #HaloWC pic.twitter.com/Ny5yiWAchS
