Beta Matchmaking Update
The Halo 3 Beta matchmaking has gotten some shaking up - there's a new ranked Big Team option, along with a Double Team unranked playlist. Go read full details at Bungie.net - thanks, sorahn. (Louis Wu 19:40:03 UTC) (permalink)
Tickling Ears
Ever wonder about how sound is integrated into Halo games? There's a great new article up at Bungie.net about this. Give it a read - it'll open a door or two. (Louis Wu 18:44:21 UTC) (permalink)
Zune questions - now with answers
We've gotten quite a few questions about our Zune Giveaway Contest - some of the most common have been added to a new Frequently Asked Questions page on the contest site. As more come up, we'll add them, too. Please check this page first if you have questions. Thanks! (Louis Wu 18:12:31 UTC) (permalink)
From Russia, with Pixels
Almost missed this - Funkmon noticed a cool pic at Destructoid - tiny Halo reference, but lots and lots and lots of other videogame references.
Deus Meus (Spartan Battle Prayer)
A couple of years ago, Elnea created a beautiful song for inclusion in a machinima series being created by some friends. Things changed, and the machinima got shelved... so she now has permission to release this song to the public. It's powerful moving. Go listen. (As always, if this note does something terrible to her bandwidth, we'll put up a local copy.) (Louis Wu 16:21:17 UTC) (permalink)
Blam! Blam! Blam!
Stuntmutt took at look at the detachable turret in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:20:43 UTC) (permalink)
Complaining about complainers
411mania.com has a rant about the people complaining about the Halo 3 Beta. (Louis Wu 16:18:53 UTC) (permalink)
The Return of the King
Anton P. Nym found a 360Prophecy comic strip on Xbox.ca that might resonate with our audience. Jman pointed out that the most recent episode is also Halo-related (and if you follow the Archives link, you'll find even more). (Louis Wu 16:12:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Wishlist
Gamespy has a Halo 3 Wishlist (thanks, The Lamontser). Our forum isn't very impressed with it. (Louis Wu 16:08:03 UTC) (permalink)
I Want Master Chief
Every now and then, someone creates a Halo-related tribute that hits on a lot of levels; maybe it's funny, maybe it's touching, maybe it's emotionally deep. Maybe it inspires you. Maybe it makes you laugh. Maybe it makes you cry. Or maybe... maybe it just scares you. Recently, Oboe Crazy and Elnea, regulars of the Red vs Blue community, created a music video which will make you laugh, might make you cry, will certainly scare you. It's so right... and so wrong, on so many levels. It features some amazing music playing, some disturbing singing, and some images which will burn themselves into your brain. Don't download this unless you're ready to be shaken up. First unveiled at CanWest last week, this is now available to the public - grab it in WMP9 format (41.9 mb) or QuickTime format (40.4 mb). Steel yourself. (Louis Wu 01:04:06 UTC) (permalink)
