Machinima Monday: Lone Wolves

Queuing up some Halo 4 Machinima, this trailer for Lone Wolves, (which releases this week) shows us a glimpse into a Captain having to run a rescue operation while trying to identify a traitor among their midst. If this trailer is any indication, we could have an interesting and compelling story.

Machinima Monday: Huntress

We haven’t had a chance to showcase Ascend Hyperion, but being one of the more prominent Halo 5 Machinimators in the community, he’s a notable person in the art form. Huntress is the first installment of a trilogy of videos with Lineage, the second installment out and the final in production.

It’s Haloween night and the latest Community Spotlight is filled with plenty of Halo-themed pumpkin carvings, ink-tober drawings, and ghoulishly inspired artwork. The latest Reach flight, and possibly last is also out on PC including Campaign, Firefight and PvP Multiplayer! It’s a packed weekend of Halo spookiness!

Podtacular 705: Halo Outpost-mortem

Even though Halo: Outpost Discovery ended nearly two months ago, we can’t stop talking about it and the memories it gave us over the summer. Earlier this year, we invited DJBlue PDX and John Friend on the show to tell us more about the announcement in February. To round out the experience, we decided to ask them back on for one more show to talk about their experience on putting on the show this summer and hear about some of the feedback and perspectives they gained that will hopefully influence future outposts (if we’re fortunate enough to get more).

Podtacular 704: Pizza Gate

This week we’re swapping in our regular end-of-the-month community update to cover the last three months of updates from other Halo communities, podcasts and projects. In addition to the Community Spotlight from this week, we have updates from most all of the community projects, other Halo Podcasts, PlayGrifball, ForgeHub and Halopedia. And there was something about Pizza Hut being the best pizza chain.

Podtacular 703: Reaching for Impressions

The latest Reach flight for MCC came to Xbox this past week with a lot of Halo Insiders on to play a full week of competitive game modes. We asked the community for their input, but we guess everyone just had so much fun, that we got no responses, so we just got to share our experience as well as covering the latest community update.
