Ninja - Halo: Reach Montage 1

Gear61 Owns writes:

This was the only way we knew how to make everything just OK.

This is Ninja's first Halo: Reach montage, edited by CJ. The gameplay includes some of the best MLG Reach footage to date, featuring multiple killtaculars, and many, many sweet overkills. The editing is good too; the intro's nice, the syncing is on point, and theater work is well done. Enjoy!

I pulled a gun at the world today.

This is the 3rd installment of tranQ's Halo 3/Halo: Reach community montage series, "tranQ and Friends," featuring the best Halo 3 and Halo: Reach plays of the entire Halo community. The gameplay is great, showcasing a nice balance of footage from all sorts of gametypes, and the editing and soundtrack are both relaxed. Enjoy!

20 Questions for May 2011

Willy87 writes:

Longest interview ever.

Don't worry the person I interviewed this month Godly Perfection gave me a suggestion to add a little something to the interview to make it easier for you guys to navigate through it. For those of you who don't have much time to read all 20 questions. You can find out more about it when you read the interview.

Anyway this month I interviewed GodlyPerfection from Reachingperfection.com he writes the Forge lessons you may have seen posted on here.

He was a great guy to interview and has lots of great ideas. He also got his map "Affinity" added into matchmaking recently. 

Hope you guys enjoy the interview...see you in June with a new interview.

Fun for Our Troops 24 Hour Game-a-Thon

CheckedBRUTES writes:

Gamers Outreach Foundation help you get your charity on.

Memorial Day Weekend is coming up quickly, and with that a really great way to show our support for the men and women who fight for our country. Gamers Outreach Foundation has teamed up with The Game Fanatics to bring a really fun way for gamers to show our appreciation to our military, who make it possible for us to freely play our games in the first place! The Game Fanatics is supporting the Gamers Outreach Foundation’s military division, fondly referred to as Fun for Our Troops. Money raised through this fundraiser will be allocated towards a portable gaming kiosk that will be donated to the Dallas Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center in Dallas, TX. Another way to support our troops this Memorial Day is to donate games and consoles to GOF. GOF provides video game care packages to troops serving in combat zones. GOF is always in need of new and used PC games, video games, and consoles as well as other gaming peripherals from individual donors, communities, and companies. If you know of a troop currently deployed you can register them on the GOF website.

Bungie All Stars - Week 18

I come back to you now at the turn of the tide.

After a two week hiatus, I'm back feeling fresh and reinvigorated. I hope you are, too, because this week we want you to make us an offer we can't refuse using screenshots or your own custom content.

  1. Take a screenshot (or cook up some custom art) that really sells one of the vehicles in Halo: Reach. UNSC or Covenant both work, as long as you capture the essence of what makes your selection worth a hefty down payment and a usurious interest rate.
  2. You have from this very second until Thursday, May 26th at 11:59pm PT to submit your entry for consideration to [email protected].
  3. Use the subject line “Bungie All Star Week 18” without the quotation marks.
  4. The size limit for attachments is 10MB. Include a preview image and a link to the original in your file share, or an external host for artwork.
  5. One submission per person. Please include your Bungie.net profile and gamertag in your email.

If you just want to take a screenshot the showcases the vehicle of your dreams, feel free. I'll just screenshots and artwork separately. Just tell us what we need to do in order to get you in one of Halo: Reach's vehicles today. Or by next Thursday. (You know the deal.)

Forward - A Halo: Reach Trick Jumping Montage

Gear61 Owns writes:

Whoa, I didn't know Evade could do that.

This is a Halo: Reach trick jumping montage from the trick jumping clan, forthbound, edited and filmed by Jagged Shrapnel. I've been wondering where the trick jumping videos have been lately for Reach, and it looks like my queries have been answered. The jumps in this video are all quite ridiculous overall, featuring the immense amounts of creativity we all know and love, and I really like how Evade works for trick jumps in Reach. And to display the sick jumps in all of their glory, the video's in crystal clear HD and the cinematography is very well done. Enjoy!

Tyrant's Halo 3: ODST Legendary Walkthrough - ONI: Alpha Site

Tyrant122312 writes:

Defending the Borg Cube 101.

Once again you are placed in the boots of ODST Dutch.  Your mission?  Protect the data in the ONI building across the river at all costs.  This mission features not just one, but two Firefight maps where you'll be dealing with a large spectrum of enemies (including the new Gold Hunters).

Tyrant will be guiding you all the way from the bridge detonation to the rooftops of the ONI building with his words of wisdom, and he'll be including the rather short street segment leading up to the actual flashback.  So get ready to kick the tires and light the fires  in Tyrant's latest chapter of his Legendary ODST guide!

Quad Mythic Nightfall Conquered

Tyrant122312 writes:

Mythical teamwork at its finest!

Team Mythic is at it again, folks!  This time, the mission to come crumbling down was Nightfall in Legendary with all skulls on, no deaths... and four players!  This time around, the Tyrant teamed up with Michael Archer, Leumas Loch, and X Factor 51 to slay the seemingly endless forces of the Covenant. 

Yes, this is the easiest mission in the campaign, and it's been done before, however, the teamwork that went into this run alone makes it worth the watch.  All four players stuck together from start to finish without using cheap teleportation gimmicks (with the exception of the forklift glitch), and each played a role in the mission's success.  Be sure to take five minutes of your time and witness how to run a Mythic mission with your friends without dying!

Bungie Webmaster (Fan Art)

Halo biggest fan writes:

I was taking a pee-break!

Merely a man? Hardly, more like. I just saw him slumped over in stall number 2, though. I'll splash some cold water on his face and see what he thinks of the portrait.

"After Reading the weekly updates on Bungie.net I had a giant urge to paint something related to Bungie.net. So I painted the Webmaster! This is fully painted by me and took three hours to create. The Webmaster is merely a man in a gorilla suit. With a cowboy hat. But he see's everything that goes on in Bungie.net with his glowing varicose eyes."
