Out of the blue, I got an email from ZZoMBiE13, who got inspired to create a new entry for Another Halo Comic Strip. It’s been years, but seeing the art brought me right back! Go enjoy. (And check out his DevianART page if you want more of that stuff.) (Louis Wu 17:32:39 +0000)

As Halo Studios shifts development attention to Campaign Evolved and other projects, they’ve announced that the forthcoming Infinite operation will be the game’s last. The preview on Waypoint goes into the details, which include new maps, armor, speedier progression, and continued playlist updates. Operation Infinite drops November 18 (tomorrow.)

Our resident Rockslider/BadCyborg has forgotten more about Combat Evolved than most players will ever know, and he’s been experimenting with the original game for hundreds of episodes over the years. The 600th episode features a lot of painstaking setup for a pretty fun result. Go watch! (fuchsdh 11:54:35 +0000)

Today, Halo Studios announced Halo: Campaign Evolved, a reimagining of Combat Evolved‘s campaign, with some new prequel missions thrown in. You can watch the preview here: (fuchsdh 00:58:06 +0000)

The next Halo Infinite operation drops, and it features the return of Invasion on some very familiar-looking community maps. You can read all about what’s coming on Waypoint, or check out the trailer embedded below. (fuchsdh 19:39:59 +0000)

Fans of Halo Infinite seem excited for the big new Operation Shadows update which, perhaps most notably, brings a version of the Falcon into play. Other additions include the new Vestige Carbine, more weapon customization options, and some multiplayer playlists. Check out the brief trailer below, and get more info from other vids such as this report from Mint Blitz and this one from Generalkidd.

The team behind Super Smash REX (a mod of Super Smash Bros. Brawl) has released a trailer showing new features, the biggest of which is a certain 7-foot cyborg! Apparently MC is going to finsh a fight. Against who exactly, I’m not sure, but they better watch out! Looks entertaining. Check out the following video at timestamp 10:11, and comment in our forum. Thanks, AfroRyan.

Halo Infinite‘s next Operation goes live in a few days, and tomorrow Halo Studios will host a community livestream to discuss it. I’m always excited for more PvE content, so this operation seems like it will deliver!

Ready up, Spartan. Humanity isn't going to save itself ?

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. (fuchsdh 17:20:46 +0000)

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:

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: (fuchsdh 14:50:44 +0000)

Sometimes I’m amazed this site is still online; it launched in 1999, more than a quarter-century ago, and although it’s not quite as lively as it once was, it’s still visited by people who love the Halo franchise and love the creations that have been brought into being via that franchise. I have thousands of good memories associated with this site and its community… but few are as cherished as the lanfest I was invited to in 2001, where we celebrated the final chemo treatment of Brian Morden. (If you don’t recognize the name, type it into the search bar here; there are plenty of links.) We honor him every February 15, with a symbol on this website… but today I listened to a podcast where his best childhood friend, Brian Johnson, remembered him and his contribution to the Halo universe, and I was reminded, again, how powerful hope can be. (It really couldn’t have come at a better time, so huge thanks to Brian – well, both Brians – to the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, and to Adam Daniel, who brought it to my attention.) Go listen. it’s a great story. (Louis Wu 17:01:36 +0000)

The Spring Update of Halo Infinite is coming in February ( that’s a seriously loose definition of spring!) Halo Waypoint has all the deets in a long blog post with an accompanying YouTube VOD of the community livestream. There’s a fuel rod-infused rocket launcher, the return of Assault, weapon tweaks, and more. Check it out! (fuchsdh 01:16:12 +0000)

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:
