Halo 4 Box Art, Revealed
Microsoft sent out a bunch of slices of the Halo 4 box art today (this is what the email looked like - there were 32 choices). Compile all the pieces together... you get this. (If you were in Europe, you got this. it's the same, except for the rating info.) Pretty amazing! (Tom Van Sinden 23:30:35 UTC) (permalink)

BigTeamBattle.net vs MLG Pros
Last night, a bunch of MLG pros (mostly used to playing 4v4 games with MLG rules) joined up and played against the number one-rated BigTeamBattles.net team 'Wake Up' - watching the carnage is fascinating. Carbon's Assault streamed it last night, and you can watch his archived footage starting around 4 hours into this video. The first game (Slayer on Utopie) will show you how the best Banshee flyer in the game, coupled with a team that knows the map inside and out, can DESTROY a team of some of the best shooters in Reach. (It illustrated how important knowledge of the maps can be - and how hard it is to switch between Bloom/No-Bloom settings on the fly.) Thanks to CyReN, who posted relevant links at HaloCouncil, along with an interview with the pros after the fact. (Tom Van Sinden 20:27:54 UTC) (permalink)
Vindication Series
lonefirewarrior is a DeviantARTist who has put together a set of images using Garry's Mod and some judicious editing to illustrate a theoretical war. Master Chief is on-scene. Thanks, Endless and TheOddOne. (Tom Van Sinden 19:30:38 UTC) (permalink)

Summum Malum - The Master Builder
The Forward Unto Dawn crew has kicked off a new set of Halo 4 speculation - the first piece is called 'Summum Malum - The Master Builder', and discusses whether the Master Builder, a Forerunner who shows up in Greg Bear's Halo trilogy, might be the main enemy we face in Halo 4. Go give it a read! (Tom Van Sinden 14:47:15 UTC) (permalink)
I Sense Danger!
AyonHunter stopped in to announce that he and a friend had remade a machinima they originally released almost two years ago. If you missed it then, or just want to see it with good video quality and voiceovers, go watch I Sense Danger! (Tom Van Sinden 14:29:45 UTC) (permalink)
Speed and Power Runs
RC Master's been busy - he sent us email about a pair of Reach speed runs posted on High Speed Halo (Winter Contingency on Heroic, in 8:29, and The Package on Heroic, in 13:13), and then posted in our forum about a 'Legendary Classic Skulls' run on Halo Anniversary's Pillar of Autumn (only the skulls from Halo 3/Reach turned on). Check 'em all out! (Tom Van Sinden 14:20:33 UTC) (permalink)
