Yeah, I carved that myself. I’m very proud of it.

MOAR Hammer!

Get ready to sing along.

RC Master stopped by the forum to to let us know about some new ODST speedruns from the guys at High Speed Halo. Stop by his post for more details and links to lots of different videos! (GrimBrother One 15:46:26 UTC)

General Battuta is trying to determine how the Halo games compare to each other according to darkness, hopelessness, and grim-factor. He offers a nice writeup and breakdown of just how grim he thinks each game is, and which moments and levels really drive home the grimness. Go and check it out for yourself, and let him know what you think! (How could I not think this was front-page material?) (GrimBrother One 15:02:09 UTC)

bs angel wanted everyone to know that Episode 2 of Sam5000’s Forging the Win series is up. Some great stuff in there for aspiring map-makers and map-gawkers alike! (GrimBrother One 14:44:39 UTC)

Make sure to stop by the Waypoint blog to check out the October edition of their feature on replicas by the guys and gals of the 405th. Some… okay MOST of these are simply stunning. Go look! (GrimBrother One 14:39:38 UTC)

Halo Waypoint has a new video series called Community Outreach where they play with members of the Halo community and discuss the various Multiplayer and Firefight maps. This episode features Vociferous playing with Nick Puleo, who is the owner and managing editor at Co-Optimus.com. There’s some great conversation in there, go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 14:35:58 UTC)

Hedgemony decided to give our forum a small taste of what he’s been finding on Tumblr lately, specifically (obviously) related to all things Halo. Go and check out his Halo Tumblr Roundup on our forum and bask in the awesome! (GrimBrother One 14:28:13 UTC)

Go cast your vote and help decide what maps YOU want to be playing on!(GrimBrother One 14:12:08 UTC)

Rob Schneider is working on a Halo tattoo – the artist is D’Lacie McBride, in Portland, OR. Fifteen hours in, the sleeve looks like this. Can’t wait to see the finished product!(Louis Wu 13:26:47 UTC)

Last week, Bungie challenged 2old2play in the Halo Humpday – their writeup went up on Friday, but 2o2p took the weekend to think about it. (Don’t forget – they’re old.) Fun read! Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 13:25:13 UTC)

Yeah, so, if you shoot someone with a rocket, and they armor-lock, you generally find that you’ve wasted your rocket. (Sometimes, you’ve even killed yourself inadvertently with it.) But not always… thanks, MrBig.(Louis Wu 13:22:30 UTC)

Missing teeth used to be associated with the low class and now it’s all the rage among rich people. That’s great news! I can finally take my dad out in public.

We here at Achievement Hunter love Halo: Reach, we also love videos. That’s exactly why I’m leaving this video, showing off the new multiplayer maps coming November 30th, right here.
