If It Were Realistic: Halo Marines
Euphorian Films released "If It Were Realistic: Halo Marines" - a machinima that speculates what Halo might look like if... well, if it were more realistic. It starts off with promise... but quickly fades into silliness (I question whether the creators REALLY thought that the Master Chief is being portrayed 'realistically' in their vid). Thanks,
Ogan Panavo. (Louis Wu 17:47:01 UTC)

Sack Time
Yesterday was Friday, so a new Bungie Mailsack found its way to the world wide web. Great questions, great answers. Get to know your friendly neighborhood employees just a little bit better! (Ibeechu started a thread on our forum, if you have anything to say about it.) (Louis Wu 19:48:07 UTC)

Pointing out the folly of man
A few days ago, Demoncarnotaur grabbed a few shots from some SDCC footage, showing off the new Halo 4 Jackal design. This led to some discussion on NeoGAF about how these puppies look a lot like Godzilla. Last night, he grabbed a few more - they're definitely freaky.Update: HaloBase's Legend put together a comparison. (Louis Wu 15:42:38 UTC)

Halo pops up in lots of places
Anthony Vaccaro, who worked as an environment artist on Halo: Reach (and now works at Naughty Dog) started a thread on Polycount about a workshop he's going to be teaching, showing how to create game environments using modular assets. The fun part? He's going to use a cool Halo concept of a hallway as his base. Pretty awesome! Thanks to Computron for noticing. (Louis Wu 14:21:49 UTC)

Halo 4 LE Console Custom Sounds, from Major Nelson
If you watched all the 343 panels from SDCC, you saw Kiki Wolfkill turn on the Halo 4 LE Console, and you MIGHT have heard the sounds that the console makes when you turn on the console, and when you eject a disc. (Adding these custom sounds to consoles started with the Reach console a couple of years ago - a nice little touch.) In yesterday's podcast from Major Nelson, these sounds were played in high-quality. If you just want to hear the sounds themselves, fast-forward to 1:09:44 in his podcast. If you would like a little bit of context (and a reminder of what you're about to hear), start a bit sooner (maybe around 1:09:10 or so). Thanks to Hypertrooper for pointing this out! Update: If you're too lazy to scrub through a long mp3 file, Legend from HaloBase tells us that he's put just the sounds themselves online in a YouTube video. (It's still 10 times longer than it has to be; it's 23 seconds long, while the sounds are about a second each... but hey, that's way better than a couple of hours!) (Louis Wu 14:09:48 UTC)

Wrapping up the SDCC Experience, by Tex
If you were following our SDCC Event Coverage last week, you saw a bunch of stuff from Tex - if you go visit her personal blog, there's a fantastic summary of her experience, start to finish. Plus some great pics!

Breaking In (and watching movies)
Ryan Cooper is an engineer who makes sure network code works - go read the latest Breaking In article at Bungie.net to see how he got there, and why he loves his job. (While you're there, check out a little piece about a private movie screening that took place in the Bungie offices recently...) (Louis Wu 20:44:45 UTC)

High-quality Haven Gameplay Video
Inside Gaming seemed to get some direct feed footage (Part 1 | Part 2) from the after-hours Halo 4 event at SDCC - the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired, but the quality of the video is light-years above all of the off-center, offscreen footage we've seen this week. (Actually, watching the second part suggests this is offscreen footage; you can see his hand pointing at one point. Awesome setup, in that case.) Thanks, CyReN. (Louis Wu 16:56:50 UTC)

Forward Unto Dawn Day Continues
Still MORE FUD stuff, this time at Halo Waypoint:
- The Halo Bulletin is all about FUD - lots and lots of pictures, lots of cool tidbits. (There is, of course, a local and MUCH lighter version in our Halo Bulletin Archive.)
- Our own GrimBrother One shares screentime with CruelLEGACEY and Greenskull in a video entitled 'On the Set of Forward Unto Dawn' - a great overview of the FUD filming process.
What are you waiting for? This stuff ain't gonna watch itself! (Louis Wu 12:39:20 UTC)

German Screenshot Contest
Legend, from Halo Base, sent word that there's a new screenshot contest for German-speaking Halo fans (from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland only, apparently) detailed on their website. Submit a cool shot by July 17, maybe win cool schwag. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:07:57 UTC)

Halo: Team Noble
Hmm. Shadders noticed another fan-driven movie Kickstarter project... they're ambitious. VERY ambitious. Halo: Team Noble is looking to raise half a million dollars in the next month - you can watch their video to see why they think they need that much. I guess if you're gonna go, go big.

IGN Previews Forward Unto Dawn
If you are looking for a particularly awesome way to start your morning, look no further than IGN's Behind the Scenes Preview of the new live-action Halo film project Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. It's a great overview of what's going on with this project, as well as some insight from cast and crew. Don't miss it! I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more from this in the coming days and weeks. Update: More information here (thanks, Elzar). (GrimBrother One 13:09:19 UTC)

How to Sneaky Cap
CyReN pointed out a short clip from Status Quo's Flamesword that shows a pretty funny flag cap (with commentary) - the gameplay at the start of the match is amazing, but the cap itself is worth watching. (He's right - this will almost never work... but man, when it does...)

Telikos Protocol Needs You
This is completely non-Halo-related, but it's a new Kickstarter project from a Halo fan with some deep roots in our community, and it looks pretty amazing to boot, so we're tossing in some love. Pete Cooper stopped in to let us know that he and artist Adam Burn are working on a graphic novel they call Telikos Protocol. If you visit the Kickstarter page, you can see a bunch of the artwork (astounding) and a video explaining how they hope the project will work. They're looking to raise $9500, and one day in, they're more than a quarter of the way there. (That should tell you something about the enthusiasm of the project's fans!) Pete's good people, and this project looks spectacular; if you've got a few bucks, toss 'em into the pot! If they don't reach their goal, you're not out a penny. And if they do, you have the satisfaction of knowing you helped launch something beautiful. (Louis Wu 15:50:14 UTC)

RTX Day 1 Halo 4 Roundup
Yesterday was CHOCK-FULL of goodies from RTX. Let's see if I can summarize what's out there:
- The RTX Live Feed has archived most of the Halo 4 stuff - unfortunately, it's not all separated. This video (which is 7 and a half hours long) contains the HORSE competition starting around 5:10:40, some convention shenanigans at 6:40:30, and the Rooster Teeth vs the Community Halo 4 matches at 6:51:00.
- Those last two matches were actually pulled out into this video, as well.
- A fan did a really nice job of putting up the 343 Panel (including Forge), the PIG competition, and the Q&A with the audience in a YouTube video.
- The same fan captured the second of the two community games, also on YouTube.
- Bravo posted a live commentary vid on some Infinity Slayer on Haven - thanks, CyReN.
- A fan captured a full FFA game on Adrift (offscreen) in two parts (1 | 2) - thanks again, CyReN.
- The Halo Forge Epidemic put up a group impressions video of the new Forge reveal - if you're looking for comments from folks who use this stuff every day, watch this. Thanks, Gabotron ES.
I'm sure I've missed stuff - but this is a pretty good start. :) (Louis Wu 17:45:49 UTC)

RumorTime: Halo 2 Anniversary
A number of sites (the Examiner, for example) are reporting that the newest OXM has a tidbit about 343 starting development of Halo 2 Anniversary - it's in their 'Rumor and Speculation', section, though, so who knows. (Over at NeoGAF, TheOddOne pointed out an article quoting an unnamed source confirming that the game has, indeed, been a topic of conversation. I'm not sure it could get any more sketchy than that.)

Halo goodies coming from Sideshow?
Demoncarnotaur was watching a video preview for a new statue from Sideshow Collectibles... and he noticed some interesting sketches showing up in the intro. Check his post on NeoGAF for screenshots, if you don't want to watch yourself!

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Teaser
The Official Forward Unto Dawn trailer is available both on YouTube, or on Halo Waypoint (watch on your Xbox for higher resolution) - it's short, it's really just a teaser... but it's got ME fired up! Enfinit started a thread on our forum, if you want to discuss it.

Bitten by the Bug (again)
Chris Bryan was one of the very first people to build fan-made Spartan Armor - we documented his work starting back in 2003. (He was building props even earlier.) Yesterday, we heard from him again - looks like Halo 4 has fired up his creative juices! He sent along this screenshot (larger version here), and tells us that he hopes the final product will be finished before November 6! Go Chris! (Louis Wu 14:25:22 UTC)

Corn Dogs for All
Halo Waypoint has posted the latest Halo Bulletin - it contains stories about crunch time, screenshots of Longbow (a map first showed off at E3), details about Halo 4's presence at RTX, details about Halo 4's presence at San Diego Comic-Con, and more. Go read! (As always, it's in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you would like it on a lighter background, or with validating code, or just... less complicated.) (Louis Wu 17:45:37 UTC)

Arby 'n' the Chief Bytes: Divided We Stand
Arby 'n' the Chief posted a new Bytes yesterday - Chief's views on splitscreen are rather... neanderthal. Thanks, Ogan Pavano.

Getting out of Exodus - Again
T00LBOX stopped in with a tutorial showing you how to get out of Exodus at the start of the mission. (This is similar to the Physics Remastered technique, but doesn't require the tricky Armor Lock bounce to get on top of the Spirit.) Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:37:57 UTC)

The Fallen Needs Your Help - This Week!
Whoa. I've been keeping an eye on the Kickstarter page for The Fallen, the Halo fan film project we most recently mentioned last week (and which we added a sidebar link to as well) - there's just one week left in their fundraising cycle, and as of yesterday, it wasn't looking great. However, overnight they've received a $5,000 pledge, putting them less than $2,000 from their goal - it's in reach! And you can help! Swing by, pledge a few bucks. 100 fans pledging $20 each would do the trick - and if the project is funded, that $20 would net you an 11x17 poster to boot. The trailers they've released so far (they're linked from their Kickstarter page) show real promise - see if you can help make this project a reality! Update: YOU DID IT! As of the time of this update (4:30pm, they've passed the $10,000 mark! You guys rock. (Louis Wu 13:12:54 UTC)
