Watched over by a Spartan
Mr.Sci-Fi created some cool Master Chief stickers for his car - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 19:18:28 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: End of January Update
Fire Team Zulu has four brand-new Halo 3 challenges for you - including a Cortana challenge that makes me queasy just LOOKING at it. Check 'em all out on the FTC website - and get your name on the board! (Louis Wu 18:34:07 UTC) (permalink)
The Fails of Reach - Fan Fails Edition
CruelLEGACEY got a ton of submissions for the Fan Fails Edition of his The Fails of Reach series - he's thrown a few of them together in a 5-minute video to fuel your schadenfreude. The Grunty Jesse Barfield wannabe was my favorite. (Louis Wu 15:40:46 UTC) (permalink)
TPP: Score Attack, Week 4
Brian Gilmore let us know that the Teabag Prevention team is back on the job - they're up to Week 4 of their Score Attack coverage. Swing by and read tips on how to garner Vehicle Commendations - obviously, the focus is on Beachhead. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 14:47:56 UTC) (permalink)
Mythic Difficulty Guide - New Alexandria
It's been a little while, but Tyrant's Mythic Difficulty Guide is back on track - his walkthrough for New Alexandria is now up. 10 vids, lots of text tips - he's got some tricks that will make this one of the easiest levels to finish with All Skulls on in Reach! Go see. (Louis Wu 13:31:08 UTC) (permalink)
Just Out of Reach
TTL Demag0gue stopped in with the latest Reclaimer - looks like there's more info out there than the Cavalcade knows about! (Louis Wu 13:25:36 UTC) (permalink)
I wonder if those were imported?
nash--housewares found some new (well, new to me) wildlife on Winter Contingency - I had no idea those guys were there! (Louis Wu 12:34:16 UTC) (permalink)
When Gauss Guns Go Bad
Sometimes your biggest challenge on a Campaign run isn't... the Covenant. Thanks, GhaleonEB, for the belly laughs. (Louis Wu 12:31:02 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Coolness at Waypoint
bs angel sent along some fun links from Halo Waypoint's website recently:
- Carmen created some driveable (and edible) terrain for a Warthog when she made a birthday cake for her brother-in-law. Yum!
- Team Ephiphany put together their second collection of Halo Reach Epic Kills - no snipers here! (Well, almost none.) Just 90 seconds long.
- xSoGx Grim has made news before, by building giant characters in Forge - he's back with an enormous Prophet. Amazing!
- The only thing that would make this Grunt any more adorable would be a head filled with confetti. But then you'd have too shoot it! How could you shoot something so cute?
Go check 'em out! There's plenty more coming soon. (Louis Wu 12:27:01 UTC) (permalink)
Winter Contingency, SLASO... in 12 minutes
There are only a couple of days left for finishing the current Weekly Challenge (well, if you want the 12.5k cR) - but don't worry, that's plenty of time. RC Master ran the challenge in an astounding 12:08 - you can watch it at High Speed Halo. Twelve minutes... that's less than I take for a decent game of Sniper Attack on Overlook!

Map Spotlight Week 11 - Facility 17
Another item we missed by skipping Bungie's Comm Chatter yesterday was the latest in a rascal cat's Map Spotlight series - Week 11 looks at both undr zid and FC Elijah's Facility 17. Go read how it came about, then give it a look for yourself! (Louis Wu 12:24:39 UTC) (permalink)
More Reach Concept Art
masugn pointed out that Isaac Hannaford CONTINUES to upload new concept art to his blog - he's got helmets, more Reach weapons, and some very cool Covenant concepts. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to suggest that he's probably not finished. (Louis Wu 12:22:55 UTC) (permalink)
A Fistful of Arrows (pages 24-29)
I've already said that I've run out of superlatives for A Fistful of Arrows, Leviathan's graphic novel delving into Jun's actions outside of Reach. That remains true - I'm stunned by the quality of the latest content (Pages 24-29 went live last night), so stunned I can do nothing but implore you to read them. The artwork keeps getting better. New characters brought in from existing fiction are simply... perfectly realized. (Louis Wu 12:17:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halocraft - recreation of a classic
The wonder that is Minecraft keeps on surprising with its depth. Some dedicated Halo fans rebuilt Lockout in that simplified engine... and made it playable. Amazing! Thanks, Jordan117. (Louis Wu 12:15:53 UTC) (permalink)
Ooh - I get his gun!
imperial181 noticed a pretty nicely-made LEGO Grunt on MOCpages, built by Nathaniel Shields. Amazing what you can do with Bionicles! (He found this via The Brothers Brick. This was front-paged on Bungie's Comm Chatter yesterday, as well, though I didn't have time to get to it.) (Louis Wu 12:13:28 UTC) (permalink)
SPD is coming back
Hedgemony posted a teaser last night - looks like we haven't seen the last of the Special Projects Division! (Louis Wu 12:12:12 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Four new pieces are up this week in the Fan Fiction section... go see what you can find! (Louis Wu 12:10:15 UTC) (permalink)
The Battle of Miridem, Eps 1-3
Cristian let us know that he's got a webcomic online, using Halo sprites and telling the story of Miridem, a planet apparently invaded in 2544. Three episodes are online now. Here's hoping the hosting holds up! (Louis Wu 12:08:56 UTC) (permalink)
