Gamespot's Halo 4 Forge Maps Overview
Gamespot has a new Forge video available - it shows off the three new Forge maps (Erosion, Impact, and Ravine), and lets you know what sort of environments you'll have to work in. Once again, 343's Kynan Pearson and Certain Affinity's Lori Zawada are your tour guides. Amazing! Thanks, Vire. (It's available on YouTube, as well - thanks, CyReN.)

Jefferson told us about a new collection of Halo tricks - the HaloBible crew tackled Halo Anniversary. There's a teaser video, to show you what you're getting into, along with a pair of montages: the first one is called Out of Halo (there's also a tutorial), while the second is 'Double Warthog' (also with a tutorial). The tutorials are in French, with pictures. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:24:50 UTC) (permalink)
GameOne takes on Halo4
Germany's GameOne posted a half-hour video spotlighting their experience at a Halo 4 press event (HaloGAF's Hypertrooper makes an appearance) - thanks, CrazY CroaTia. This might not have received coverage here at HBO (most of the footage is just discussion between the hosts, in German), but starting at 12:38 is an interview with Frank O'Connor, in English. I enjoyed it! (There are some minor campaign spoilers, if you're staying dark.) (Louis Wu 16:22:31 UTC) (permalink)

Fans Domino Theory and mastrbiggy have collaborated to create Flesh and Faith, a new Halo-related blog designed to express their passion for the franchise. Explore, because there's a bunch of fun stuff, but the first meaty piece is an article containing impressions from PAX Prime 2012. Good stuff! Update: both biggy and Domino are attending NYCC this week, and have posted the beginning of their coverage of the event! (Louis Wu 16:12:06 UTC) (permalink)

Tyrant's Halo 2 Legendary Walkthrough - Regret (x2)
The Tyrant is back with two separate guides for Halo 2's Regret - one shows how to get through in standard fashion, while the other tosses the Envy Skull into the mix, along with Swordflying and Sputnik-enabled grenade jumping. Decide whether you want to go pure, or enhanced... and get to watching! Update: apologies, Narcogen points out that Tyrant uses the Envy skull in BOTH vids; he's just not exploiting the checkpoint to get infinite invisibility in the first. Sorry!
