One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to build myself a set of Halo armor. I was going to go for a Spartan build, but it’s been two weeks and I can’t get registered over at 405th to get help, and since I’ve never done this before I figured I’d better follow a how-to. Andrew Cook, AKA DaFrontlineTrooper, has just…

How to Snipe in Halo 4 [video]
Halo 4 has been out for quite awhile now, and tasty nuggets of helpful hints are still being produced by Halo fans that can help gamers become better players at the game.

Left For Halo 4 Dead? [New Mod]
When rumors were abound prior to the release of Halo 4, one of the fantastic ideas I’d come up with was a versus mode, where players would be allowed to choose which type of Flood they would be. Imagine my disappointment at learning that not only had Flood gameplay not been given much to set it apart from what people were doing in customs already, all the Flood looked EXACTLY alike, AND they didn’t even look like Flood!! Add to that the annoying rabid-donkey-bred-with-a-gunieau-pig sound the Halo 4 Flood make, and I was going to be even less likely to play Flood than I had been previously.
But what’s this?! Someone has had a similar fantastic idea, and a Halo 4 custom gametype mod has been created that not only allows players to choose different types of Flood similar to Left 4 Dead versus, like a Battlefield 4 medic you can even “heal” your teammates when they’re infected by a slow-infecting Flood!
The gametype also includes other features such as being able to scale objects and make objects disappear when a Dominion base is taken.

Halo 4 Longbow’s Faces of Concept
Did you know that it would take far less money to send ships into space via a rail-cannon than it does for the thousands of gallons of fuel it takes to escape the Earth’s gravitational pull? Halo 4’s Longbow cannons are just that, built to shoot cargo into space. Ever since I’d read of this concept years ago, and that…
Game Informer’s Destiny News Condensed
I’ve been wanting to catch up on Destiny news, but haven’t had the time. Since deciding to incorporate other gaming news at Halo Diehards, computer woes and maxing out the hard drive on my 360 have had me buried under, and are causing video editing to take up to 10 times longer than it should. A new 360 hard drive is on the way, and I’m in the process of researching computers, but in the meantime there are so many hours of Destiny news out there, so many sources, where’s a newb to start?!
This comprehensive video by More Console was posted by Bludgeondary on FaceBook today, and features all the Destiny news that Game Informer has covered on the Official Game Informer Destiny page, all condensed in under 20 minutes, and it’s a GREAT place to start – thanks, Bludge, for the heads up!
Check out the links below the video if you haven’t watched Datto’s coverage on Destiny Classes.

It’s not Halo, but damn it’s cool! Laser Data & Energy Transmission
When Apollo 8 captured the first “Earth rise” from the moon in 1968, it took days for the footage to reach Earth so the crew could share it with the world. Using lasers, hundreds of such images could be sent to Earth from that distance every second. The Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration (LLCD) is a NASA project that was built…
