ForgeHub pointed out a gorgeous video showing off many of the prettiest Forge maps I’ve seen. There are remade Halo maps from multiplayer and campaign, places from other games (Destiny, MGS, etc) and some nice original work all shown off. Thanks to Unsorted Gaming for putting it all together. He says the maps are bookmarked in his gamertag if you’re looking for them.(MacGyver10 18:14:45 UTC)

For the upcoming Halo Wars 2 launch, 343 and Microsoft commissioned some pretty fancy art in poster form for the six initial leaders from the game. I’m particularly swayed to the side of Anders and the Shipmaster, but all of the posters are pretty amazing, really!

You know those pesky slow-down moments where Cortana comes across your entire screen in Halo 3? Well to make those happen, Bungie spawned a model of Cortana on the level out of the playspace. Looks like Termacious Trickocity found her out there! (Thanks The SuperWaffle(MacGyver10 22:18:31 UTC)

Rockslider shared some great carnage of his recent foray into some cavern megabattling with 4 shades on the bridge. He also went airborne with a banshee to rain down green destruction on all those that might oppose him!(MacGyver10 22:15:42 UTC)

Sometimes it takes a long time and a persistent fan to figure out mysteries of old. Other times, it takes Cody Miller.(MacGyver10 19:58:04 UTC)

uberfoop shared a new, thorough piece from Digital Foundry that looks back on Halo: Combat Evolved, its significance, technical accomplishments and ports to other systems.
