Halo Community Update - 02/19/16 ('The Storm Is Coming')
Almost forgot to post last week's community update, but ChrisTheeCrappy didn't forget! There are the usual community spotlights, but most of this update focuses on this month's Hammer Storm update. We get more map info (and our first screenshot), previews of the new armors coming, a few more REQ reveals and a permanent weekly social playlist with rotating gametypes! Some gorgeous orange and white (Go Vols!) weapon skins are coming our way too! You can read about it all on HaloWaypoint at your own convenience, or see it tomorrow at 3p PST on the Halo Twitch stream! (MacGyver10 19:58:48 UTC) (permalink)
Halo's Arbiter Will Kick Battletoad Butt In Chicago via Killer Instinct Soon
We now can see a little more action than before from the Arbiter character that will be in the upcoming season 3 DLC for Killer Instinct. There's also some clarification from Frankie (via NeoGaf) in Nikko B201's post in our forums that this is not Thel, but more of a generic Arbiter that encompasses characteristics of multiple Arbiters.

Pretty Sure That Incinerator Cannon Is Backwards Mr. Knight
Spartan armor from the Halo games would be quite handy in many other video games, but specifically in the notoriously difficult 'Super Ghosts N Ghouls'. The Hat-Loving Gamer took it upon himself to translate that armor and many of the weapons from Halo games into the classic video game, and the results are as one would expect when a cybernetic-supersolider's armor takes the place of plate mail from medieval times.

Invisible Flood in Halo 3 Sounds Like the Worst Idea Ever
Lord Zedd was playing around in the code of Halo 3 again, and managed to restore what was called the Assassin Skull. With a little creative thought, he was able to give the AI in-game invisibility as the skull might have done. (Thanks gamerguy2002!) (MacGyver10 16:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
Multiverses In the Halo Universe?
Comic books have long used it to explain different looks, unintended consequences and jumps in their story, but I had never thought of the possibility of Halo having a multiverse as well. A post at the Halo Archive gives thought to how this might be possible in Halo. (Thanks Grizzlei!) (MacGyver10 16:40:18 UTC) (permalink)
