Garb yourself in Forerunner gear with Operation Forerunner
The next Halo Infinite operation, Forerunner, is out. If you liked the Forerunner armor in Halo 4, you'll appreciate the armor pieces this time, but it also comes with new game modes and maps (the Flood Gulch naming is wonderful.) Check out the trailer and play it before it goes away in May.

Spasmodic goes jumping. Again.
In an epic 46-minute jumpathon, Spasmodic recreates and augments his old videos, using the Xbox 360 to bring things to a common visual standard, amounting to a "clean, clear, and unified anthology" of his multifarious jumpy exploits. And I must say, he does seem to've got the hang of that rocket launcher by now:

Play Halo like it's 2015 (or 2009?) with Operation: Blue Team
The latest operation for Halo Infinite, Blue Team, is live and runs until April 8. Like the name implies, the operation adds Halo 5-style Blue Team cosmetics, but it also features the addition of a classic survival Firefight experience on some Forged remakes from ODST. Check it out in the trailer below:

Fun has returned to Halo - Mint Blitz reports
Mint Blitz has an 8-minute video round-up of some new Halo developments. And apparently "fun has returned". Topics include mini-games in Halo Infinite (Duck Hunt, anyone?), plus some Halo 2 restoration work in the form of a Sanctuary "Tech Demo", featuring some very nice Tomb Raider style surroundings. Not that Lara Croft was actually present, but she definitely wouldn't have looked out of place:

Spasmodic goes vehicle collecting
Putting a new spin on an old activity, Spasmodic recently took the time to collect and neatly arrange 23 vehicles on a beam at the start of AOTCR, with the aid of a few skulls. Check out his creative parking skills, and read his video blurb for details:

Halo VR mod released
BOLL dropped by in the forum with a rundown on the newly released Halo VR mod by LivingFray. Specifically it's a VR conversion of the original PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved. While there are certainly some issues, it seems to be getting an enthusiastic welcome from fans who've long wanted such a thing. Check out the video below for example, featuring gameplay in the first two levels. Also, BOLL has been streaming gameplay on Twitch, if you care to catch some of that.

Playable Halo 2 E3 2003 demo released
In a joint effort with Halo Studios and marking Halo 2's 20th anniversary, Digsite has released a playable restoration of the game's E3 2003 demo, for MCC PC. Not sure how off-script you can go to tackle things in different ways, but multiple playthroughs are already up on YouTube, such as the one below, and the mod includes a 'Playground' version of the level which allows free roaming of the city. There's also co-op support. All in all, seems like an impressive job and a must-have for any Halo 2 fan! Thanks, MangoOfDoom.

MisterMonopoli goes gold
MisterMonopoli has been busy with co-op on the original Xbox lately (no mods involved). After various short teaser videos in which one player has somehow become something other than a cyborg, he now has a tutorial for becoming a gold Elite, so you can run about shouting "Wort wort wort" and swishing a plasma sword around. I mean, if that's what you really want. The detailed workings of this digital sorcery will hopefully be elucidated later, but meanwhile here's the tutorial (you'll also want to read the description for guidance):

Pirate ship versus Scarab? Oh yeah.
If you've ever wanted to sail the high seas and fight the Covenant along the way, the new Halo 3 mod from InfernoPlus may be the ticket to your dreams. With Captain Johnson at the helm, Pimps at Sea takes you to multiple tropical islands and features such novelties as boat-hogs, amphibious Ghosts, and a boss battle between a pirate ship and a Scarab. Whether a work of inspired imagination or the result of someone going way too heavy on the rum, it's surely worth a look. And above all, it provides an excellent excuse for grown men to wear pirate hats while videogaming. So what are you waiting for? Swash your buckles and cast off the anchor! Thanks, Hyokin.

The bottom of Keyes, finally reached!
Apologies for the tardy mention, but it's worth playing catch-up on this one. Just recently, Spasmodic achieved one of the holy grails of Halo 1 tricking, namely reaching the bottom of Keyes (as was mentioned in the forum). All you need to do is… a whole lot of tricky stuff (duh!), and hey presto, there you are in your own purple paradise. He lays out the development story in the video description too, so be sure to have a read of that.

All aboard for new BTB maps
The quality of Halo Infinite Forgers continues to astound me, and there's a new crop of BTB maps arriving in the game. I'm super-excited for the overgrown Headlong remake. Check them out in the video below or read the blog for more details.

It's been a long road (to Halo)
Postmortem has been producing a Youtube channel focused on media for a while now, and he dropped by to mention his latest video is all about the history of humanity in the Halo universe, starting from almost the very beginning. You can watch it on YouTube or embedded below.

Check out the next dev map coming to Infinite
Infinite's CU29 update drops at the end of this month, bringing with it a new map, "Illusion". This looks like it'll be a fun, CE-inspired trip to an ONI research site. In addition to screenshots, there's an interview with the developers. Check it out on Waypoint. (fuchsdh 15:08:45 UTC)

Play the alternate universe Halo 2 we never got, thanks to mods
This is nifty. Mint Blitz has a cool video demonstrating Halo modders' efforts with Halo 2, recreating the classic experience as well as a bunch of cut content (and Infinite's tank gun, to boot.) See if it interests you and then check out the mod!

Witness the power of this fully operational Forge mode
Season 5 hasn't been out that long, but we're already seeing some pretty incredible Forge creations using the new tools.
RiskiestSole has gone so far as to mock up a reasonable facsimile of the opening mission of Halo 3. Here's hoping these creations inspire further Forge capabilities.

Infinite Season 5 drops October 17
A new season of Halo Infinite is coming, and this is a meaty one. New maps, a Forge toolkit, new cosmetics (ed. note: a Mark V that looks good!), a return of the beloved (well, to me anyway) Extraction game mode, and more. The full details have yet to be released, but you can read the high-level notes at Waypoint, or watch the trailer below:

Husky Raid rides again with more maps (and map puns)
The linear CTF mode Husky Raid gets 8 new maps in Halo Infinite, and 343 put out a promo video yesterday showing them off (Smallhala is an A+ map naming joke.) I continue to be impressed by the quality of Forged maps these days.

Believe, again with a new angle on some old Halo 3 footage
This is a fun time capsule. When the Halo 3 announcement trailer dropped way back in 2006, there was some additional footage given out to select press outlets that's now been upscaled and uploaded. Thanks for the heads up, SNIPE 316.

Halo gets more cursed
A few years back, we highlighted InfernoPlus' "Cursed Halo" mod, which adds nonsense like D20 grenades and extra-long Warthogs to Halo CE. Now, there's a new version of the mod, which... must be watched to be believed.

Listen to some symphonic Halo goodness from the Danish Symphony
On our forum the other day, SNIPE 316 highlighted a Halo music medley performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra back in 2018. I'd never seen this performance before, and it's pretty great, including a performance of "On a Pale Horse", in my opinion one of the series' great underrated tracks. Give it a listen!
