UCSD Winter Games Fest 2012
If you live near San Diego, you might be interested in Tex's post about a multi-game tournament coming up next month - Halo: Anniversary is one of the games, and there are lots of prizes to be won. Festivities take place on January 14 and 15, and registration opens soon! (Louis Wu 19:37:19 UTC) (permalink)
Crazy-Firing Grunts
Rockslider has documented some pretty odd Grunt behavior on Assault on the Control Room - go read the details, and watch the video! (Louis Wu 19:18:51 UTC) (permalink)
Building the best multiplayer FPS maps
G4TV has the first part of an article about building good multiplayer FPS maps - one of their panel was Adam Crist, Design lead at Certain Affinity and a 10 year Bungie veteran [edit: maybe not] who worked on both Reach and Anniversary. Interesting read - check it out! Thanks, ZaneZavin. (Louis Wu 18:23:27 UTC) (permalink)
Pelican Data Sheet - now printable
Stephen Loftus reworked the opening graphic in his 2005 article on the Pelican Dropship in response to a fan who wanted to print it out as a poster; it now scales very nicely. (It also contains some new info, and the silhouette is of the original Halo Pelican, rather than the Halo 2 version shown in the article.) The PDF is available from the original article, if you'd like to print your OWN poster!

Administrivia
Yesterday, GrimBrother One mentioned the latest Halo Bulletin at Waypoint - I didn't get to it until this morning, but a local version is up in our Halo Bulletin Archive. No login required. (Also, thumbnails are actually thumbnails.) (Louis Wu 17:04:25 UTC) (permalink)
Do You Not Forge?
pete_the_duck is sad - there haven't been very many auditions yet for his Last Forger Standing competition. Remember - you don't need to be a master forger to participate! Go read his note, and add your own content!

ONI Sword Base LASO in 10:04
Nak3d Eli re-ran RC Master's newest speedrun on ONI Sword Base (well, he turned the Blind skull off, because it's not actually needed for a LASO challenge), and shaved two minutes off RC Master's time. Even if you watched the earlier run, this one is worth a look; Eli's commentary contains little tidbits that will make certain parts easier. (Louis Wu 16:49:07 UTC) (permalink)
Get Ready - Ten Seconds!
Laird pointed out a video posted on the Child's Play website; it was fan-made, and references no games DIRECTLY... but it tips a hat to a whole bunch of games - including Halo. Really nicely done!
