Apologies for the delay in the release of this episode. Between technical difficulties during the stream and the business of the holidays, it took a bit longer to get this one out. With that said, we have a couple of special guests with us this episode behind the community project Downfall. We learn about what the game is, the goals of its development and what’s been done thus far.

As if we didn’t have enough news to cover from the community already, this week we get a double portion with updates from projects, HCS Grassroots events/streams, matchmaking updates and a late posting of the Halo Spotlight from Unyshek. We really thought we were out of the dark ages of having to worry about covering Thursday postings, but alas, here we are mid-show with the latest Waypoint update. This week, being the first full week of December, Uny was joined by James Monosmith to review the latest Halo Gear to pick up for your Halo fanatic this holiday season. Did you know you can actually buy Halo: Fireteam Raven? Just pull out $67K and you’re set! Despite the length of this podcast, it’s a packed one.

A new season calls for a few changes to our normal Halo content. Unyshek has taken over for community updates and social streams as we enter the winter season (for those of us in the northern part of the world). There’s a December update poised for MCC, some upcoming holiday playlists for Halo 5, digital goods and a few highlights from the Grassroots program partners.

Halo 5 also has received a new community-curated social playlist for Team Doubles.

One week of and we’re slammed with another news and community content filled episode. The final HCS Halo 5 event is taking place at DreamHack Atlanta, MCC is getting an update soon after, Grim’s final Community Update and so much community created content. Among the latter, two new community projects have surfaced to create fan-made Halo FPS games: Coral and Halo: Downfall.

This week, the Community Spotlight returns with some ghoulish delight as we pass Halloween here in the states, or Halo-ween as we like to call it. The community creations do not cease to amaze us from artwork and forge creations to renders and videos. Some casting positions have been revealed for the Halo TV series confirming the Master Chief as a main recurring character, Dr. Halsey and a new character, Jenny. Sadly, this week on the Social Stream, Grim announced we will be moving onto a different position within 343 and will no longer be hosting the stream or posting the community spotlights and updates after next week. We will still be around, but not as public facing as he has been. Podcast artwork by Primordial117 on Twitter.
