S.O.S.
Rooster Teeth's Red vs Blue Season 11 continues, with last night's release of Episode 6 adding a new and entertaining character to the mix. I'm loving this season! robofin117 has started a thread on our forum if you have comments. (Louis Wu 19:11:26 UTC)

Halo Custom Edition: Takedown - Project Lawson
MatthewDratt has released Takedown: Project Lawson, a single-player map for Halo: Custom Edition. You can find a trailer here (it's a year old), a ViDoc showing off some of the characters you'll interact with (fun!), the actual download from the HaloCE3 website, or more info (screens, videos, discussion, etc) from HaloMaps.org. Again, you'll need Halo Custom Edition (free, though you need a Halo PC license to use it) - go get started! (Louis Wu 16:38:45 UTC)

Halo Monk Chant at VGL
Last night, the live-streamed Video Games Live concert took place at San Diego Comic Con - and Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori were there. (Their segment starts around 3:16:30 or so in the Twitch.TV archived video.) It's focused on Destiny... but at the start of the segment, Marty and Mike perform an impromptu version of the monk chant from the original Halo theme. Fantastic! Go watch. (Louis Wu 16:24:23 UTC)

Warthog Chase
A Forge With Pete we've never highlighted (because I hadn't noticed it until pete_the_duck mentioned it this morning) discusses a gametype he created called 'Warthog Chase'. I got a chance to play this last night... and I gotta say, it's a heckuva lot of fun. It's a Hill game - but the hill is centered on a Warthog. Every 30 seconds, the hill moves to a NEW Warthog. If you happen to be in the Warthog that has the hill, you get points... unless other hogs are near you. You can't kill each other (well, you CAN drive off the map, but you can't run people over, you can't destroy warthogs, etc), so it's all about getting close to the hill (if you're not it) or away from everyone else (if you are). Simple - and really fun. Try it out! (Map variant is here, gametype is here.) And thanks to Mid7night for reminding me to mention it! (Louis Wu 16:44:45 UTC)

Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty Guide - Infinity
The Tyrant has finished the chapter of his Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty Guide that covers the level Infinity, arguably the hardest level to get through on this highest of difficulty settings. If you're looking to add this particular notch to your belt, reading his guide carefully before you start will go a long way towards a successful run! Go check it out.

Go check 'em out!

The Halo Council Closes its Doors
The Halo Council filled a pretty unique niche when it started up last year - it was competitive gamers who were interested in a Halo that all Halo fans, competitive and casual alike, could enjoy. There are other sites that work that space now (most notably Beyond Entertainment, which was founded by some of the original Halo Council folks), but it's still sad to see an important fansite like this close down. We'll miss you guys! Thanks, pete_the_duck.

Definitely some Bungie fans at Rockstar.
Cody Miller watched the GTA V gameplay teaser released recently... and was reminded of some SERIOUSLY old-school Bungie baddies. (RotaJota added his two cents, too.) If you don't feel like watching the video, here are screengrabs of the two moments in question (Cody | RotaJota). Nice!

Halo Bulletin: 07.10.13
The Halo Waypoint Bulletin went live last night - cool info about RTX, the Halo 4 Global Championship, details about the upcoming Champions Bundle, stuff to look out for at San Diego Comic Con in a week or so, and some very cool Mark VI Spartan Armor-themed screenshots. Go look! (As always, it's up in our Halo Bulletin Archive, too.) (Louis Wu 20:25:02 UTC)

Better Late than Never: June's Last Halo Bulletin
The Halo Bulletin was a little late this week (it actually came out today, rather than yesterday) - but check it out to catch up on Halo: Spartan Assault (there's a nice Q&A), details about the Matchmaking Playlist Update coming on Monday, and some awesome Mantis screenshots. As always, if you'd rather a lighter version (both in color and in bandwidth), there's a copy in our Halo Bulletin Archive. Go read! (Louis Wu 20:25:14 UTC)

Grifball at RTX - It's so there, baby
Kal reminded us of all the Grifball coolness you'll be able to experience at RTX in less than two weeks - GrifballHub will be running a community-paid-for booth (yay Kickstarter!) with LAN Grifball stations, along with a Grifball panel and two tournaments on the RTX Center Stage. They've got over 5,000 (yes, you read that right) pieces of shwag to give away during the 3-day event. Go read all the details at GrifballHub.com! (Louis Wu 18:13:10 UTC)

Fusion
Crunch came by with a link to Fusion - a Blend of Jumping and Killing, as he puts it. Whatever you call it, it's a pretty cool vid - starts slow, but by the end, it's giving me all sorts of jumps I want to try (along the end result when you totally surprise an opponent by making one). Go watch!

HB 619: In Which Bravo Trashtalks BS Angel (Again)
After a one-week hiatus (the community team were all pretty busy at E3 last week), the Halo Bulletin is back, and full of fun stuff. There's some news about an upcoming tournament with half a million dollars in prizes (!!), a summary of the goodness that was E3, some matchmaking update details (both this week and next), and a screenshot spotlight on one of the most underappreciated characters in the Halo game series. As always, you can read it on Halo Waypoint or in our Halo Bulletin Archive. But read it! (Louis Wu 18:18:44 UTC)

B is for Butthead
The new Halo Bulletin is online now - and has been since last night. (Thanks, MacGyver10.) The main focus is Halo: Spartan Assault (new screens, new desktops, a bit of history in how it came about), but there's also quite a bit of info about the Matchmaking playlist updates... and some internal trash-talking. And some very blue screenshots. As always, you're welcome to read it locally, for a lighter experience, in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Louis Wu 20:15:04 UTC)

Grain of Salt Not Included
Kotaku ran an op-ed piece this morning regarding one man's experience with contract work for a game developer, specifically with Certain Affinity on Halo 4. It's certainly a mixed bag of impressions that may leave you either a touch flustered or perhaps just scratching your head. One can never be completely sure when reading only one side of the story, but it's an interesting read nonetheless, just take it with the appropriate seasoning. If you'd like to discuss it on our forum, gamerguy2002 started a thread you can join. (GrimBrother One 23:55:00 UTC)

Plasma Cannons, Burning Computers, and Guns. Lots of Guns.
Another Wednesday, another Halo Bulletin. Bravo posted the latest notes about the upcoming weapons tuning going live next week, along with a passel of Flood screens. Worth a read - your online experience is about to change! You can, as always, check it out locally in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Louis Wu 12:05:24 UTC)

Video Design Tips by Rockslider
Rockslider has put together a guide to help you create videos - it doesn't contain information about the hardware you'll need, and it doesn't contain information about the software you'll need, but it DOES contain tips on how to optimize your content, how to present it to your audience, and how to ensure that your raw footage contains what you need to get from beginning to end. Give it a read! (He's started a thread on our forum, if you have comments.) (Louis Wu 19:28:17 UTC)
