Help assassinate cancer!

If you haven’t visited Halo Waypoint’s website recently, you’re missing some good stuff.

• Forge Hub has put together a montage of their community’s top Halo 3 maps – some very cool looking goodies!
• Brady Games (the folks who released the Halo: Reach Strategy Guide have a video showing off Reach’s Armor Abilities – I learned a few things about timing!
• There’s a Reach Tip of the Day Collection – a pretty eclectic group of hints and strategies for everything from multiplayer to Forge.
• There’s a gallery of fan-made Halo armor/weaponry from the 405th – If you’ve never seen the full range of work these guys do, this is a fantastic primer.
• There’s a a video and a mini-interview with Cheap Ass Gamer, the highlighted Grifball Team of the Month this month.

And these are just the top stories! The website’s definitely fleshing out – spend a little time exploring!(Louis Wu 12:43:05 UTC)

Bungie’s Jeremiah posted a list of changes to the Halo: Reach playlists, scheduled to go live today. Swing by and read it to get up to speed! Thanks, FyreWulff. Update: It’s live now. Go play!(Louis Wu 12:41:44 UTC)

egoraptor, a popular Newgrounds submitter, created a new piece called ‘Awesome Reach‘ (you can watch it at YouTube, if you’d rather). Definitely NSFW. Thanks, padraig08.(Louis Wu 12:40:57 UTC)

I finally managed to get episodes 18 and 19 up. I still need to sort out the URLs for the album art in the posts, but other then that it’s all working fine. Only available on the site for now unfortunately, Dustin is still sorting some stuff with the posts. After that’s done it’ll be up on iTunes and the RSS feed. For now the episodes are going up, so yay. I’ll keep you updated on further developments. Hint: ATR might be getting it’s own page.

The fine folks over at Ubisoft are having a community vote; would you like to see the G.R.A.W Xbox 360 leaderboard reset?

The obvious answer is yes. That way everyone will have a chance to get those 3 pesky leaderboard achievements that have been ruining everyone’s completion percentage.

So, head on over to the Ubisoft forums and vote YES!

Hey guys, just because I’m on vacation doesn’t mean I get out of making an AHWU for the week. Enjoy my cross-country AHWU. I’m going to go drink at Barcade.

Enjoy!

Mr.Sci-Fi decided to retool the Noble Team logo, for post-Reach use. Check for yourself how he did!(Louis Wu 22:03:53 UTC)

gameXcess.net has covered what they consider to be the Top 5 Halo Reach cutscenes. (That seems like a disproportionately large percentage of the total, to me – sort of like if 24 NFL teams made it into the playoffs, or something – but hey, they went to the trouble of rating ’em, you should watch.) Thanks, Maniac.(Louis Wu 20:47:55 UTC)

Hey everyone, I’ve got two videos for you this fine afternoon. The first one is our latest installment of “Fails of the Weak“, showcasing some of the worst of the worst in Reach…

While the second video is a guide to getting the “Father of the Year Achievement in Dead Rising 2.

This week’s Tag and Release feature at Bungie.net focuses on the term ‘Assassinate’ – and MAN there are some nice pics in there. Go look.(Louis Wu 20:19:28 UTC)

Up close and personal.

Thanks to the generosity of a gaming apparel outfit, we’ve got a new contest for you! Swing by the Game Forged page to read the details – but basically, you need to Forge up a new creation by the end of the week, in order to get in the running for a cool new shirt. Check it out – and get Forging!(Louis Wu 18:03:35 UTC)

Halo pros have wings (and opinions).

Bizarre – FoxmanFX noticed that the cover of Terrence Green’s Barking Dogs (which has nothing whatsoever to do with Halo, as far as I can tell) has a cover that… well, has something to do with Halo.(Louis Wu 16:42:25 UTC)
