Waypoint Goodies
bs angel dropped us a line to point out some pretty cool content at Halo Waypoint's website:
- OptimumForge continues his Forge101 tutorial vids - the latest one will help you make a great CTF map.
- Mike whipped up some pretty cool Windows Phone 7 wallpapers from Reach screenshots - go adorn your speaking device!
- ReggaePanda put together a really nice Reach Screenshot montage - just a couple of minutes long, but full of beautiful images.
Go explore - I bet there's other stuff there you haven't seen yet! (Louis Wu 18:31:03 UTC) (permalink)
5 Amazing Halo Matches
Another Comm Chatter tip-off - last month, a Halo 1 LAN was organized by the OGREs, and the five best games are now online at MLGPro.com. Just... wow. (Louis Wu 18:24:19 UTC) (permalink)
Forge Lesson 43: Lasting Impression
GodlyPerfection continues his Forge Lessons; he released Lesson 43, "Lasting Impression", yesterday. (We heard about it from urk.) Read it, and make your maps more memorable! (Louis Wu 18:22:56 UTC) (permalink)
Rate My Spartan
Last week, Stosh tweeted that someone should use the Reach stats API to create a 'Hot or Not' type Spartan Rating app - and Mad Cow took him up on it. Behold... Rate My Spartan! (Louis Wu 13:13:12 UTC) (permalink)
Brute Force
RVideo stopped in with word of a new release from the Jump Tactics crew - at first, I felt that a jump video on a custom-made map, using unlimited ammo and invulnerability, would be dull to watch... but I quickly realized I was wrong. Maluu has a grace with the Concussion Rifle that's simply a pleasure to behold. Cody Miller mentioned a flashback to the Deprivation Chamber in the first Marathon game - I have to say, it's what came to my mind, too. Definitely worth a watch! (Louis Wu 13:09:43 UTC) (permalink)
Complete Chronological Halo Campaign Run-through
Podtacular's Dust Storm has just finished up a 50-part Chronological Campaign Run-through of Halo - starts on Reach, runs through Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST, and then Halo 3. A labor of love! (Louis Wu 13:02:15 UTC) (permalink)
Hannaford continues to release concept art
masugn is doing a fine job keeping track of new concept art being posted by Isaac Hannaford at both his personal blog (trooper development) and his CG Hub gallery (Noble Team armor and Sabre variations, most recently). Check this stuff out - it's glorious! (Louis Wu 11:58:28 UTC) (permalink)
A Spartan's Level 4 Dream
An old friend returns with a Halo/Inception mashup - nicely done! (Louis Wu 11:56:28 UTC) (permalink)
Summa Canonica
paulmarv recently posted a treatise at Bungie.net, defending the decisions made by Bungie and 343 Industries with respect to the concept of 'canon' in the Halo extended universe. When I first ran across this (on our forum), I wasn't sure if this was serious or a joke - but paulmarv has since contacted me about it, and it's clearly serious. You can read a standalone HTML version here. At the very least, it's an impressive display of fan love! (Louis Wu 11:54:36 UTC) (permalink)
