Arrayed Intelligence
Hmm... and hmm. Hmm? (Louis Wu 19:41:18 UTC) (permalink)
It's all about the angry fanbois
Simen, a regular at Subnova, has written up a fun timeline of the Halo 3 Beta (with some random Halo-related milestones thrown in). Swing by to give it a read! (Louis Wu 17:18:30 UTC) (permalink)
Shield with Forerunner-inspired design on eBay
Interesting. Someone's selling a shield they've made - the artwork is a Forerunner symbol. (It doesn't seem to be a symbol from Halo itself; the description says it's 'inspired by' the game. But it's close.) Thanks, Fragclone. (Louis Wu 17:09:13 UTC) (permalink)
Unnatural Disaster.
Stuntmutt's paternity leave is in effect, and the One One Se7en guest artwork begins today. First up - a brand-new crossover strip from Gruntsbane, of Halo Babies. The white boards are brilliant! (Louis Wu 16:21:12 UTC) (permalink)
Breakin' Up
Obienator made a funny little vid in honor of the end of the Halo 3 Beta - you can check it out on YouTube, or download it in high-res flavors from us. (All links are in his forum post.) I KNEW there was something funky about that game... (Louis Wu 16:16:06 UTC) (permalink)
EGTV Halo 3 Piece - for Europeans
Dry Ice noticed a post on Major Nelson's blog about an EGTV piece available for free download on Xbox Live Marketplace, with a preview of Halo 3. Caveat - it's available only in Europe. (Louis Wu 16:11:26 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo 3 Beta: A Noob's Guide
QuickTactical pointed out 'The Halo 3 Beta: A Noob's Guide', a new movie made by Epic Films (directed by EAGLE EYE 318, filmed by QuickTactical). Voices are a bit quiet - but it does a pretty nice job of pointing out some of the intricacies of the Halo 3 Beta, and is funny to boot. Vid quality is very high. Mythica, YouTube, b.org links are all in the forum post. (Louis Wu 13:55:34 UTC) (permalink)
GTV Monday Movie Playlist: SodaGod
trigger119 has posted another Monday Movie Playlist at GamingTV - this one focuses on the work of SodaGod. Follow the link, and watch some of the best of SG's work, in random order! (Louis Wu 13:44:16 UTC) (permalink)
Beta Withdrawal
Sane Intolerant sends word of a new Halo Toy Box episode - Beta Withdrawal is what many of us are suffering this morning. Looks like this is the last ep for a while; SI's off to do other stuff. (He says keep checking his DA page, though.) (Louis Wu 13:39:28 UTC) (permalink)
360Zine Previews Halo 3 Beta
360Zine has put up a new preview of the Halo 3 Beta; the latest issue, Issue 7, downloadable as an interactive PDF, contains lots of info, along with a contest to win a copy of Halo 3 Legendary Edition. Adobe Reader 8 on a PC will give you full access to all the features - Adobe Reader 8 on a Mac will give you access to most (not movies, apparently). OSX's Preview does a pretty lousy job overall with this one. Go grab a copy (35 mb), and see what they've got for you! (Louis Wu 13:35:38 UTC) (permalink)
It's not goodybe... okay, yes it is.
And... it's over. Last night, around midnight PDT, the Halo 3 Beta was turned off. If you were in the middle of a game, you were allowed to finish, and for a little while, custom games worked after Matchmaking was turned off - but eventually, EVERYONE was locked out; a very enjoyable 3 weeks has come to an end, and we'll have to wait until September to get back into this. Halo 2 still waits - both on Xboxes and on Vista PCs - but you might find you have a little trouble adjusting to the changes. Oh, how I'll miss my Spiker Grenades! Wayward Spleen™ put together a tiny Flash animation showing off high-res versions of all the ranks (minus the two highest, which he hasn't finished yet) - 'tiny' means under 7k, a tribute to Flash's vector format. And oh, while we're mentioning high-res stuff, High Resolution Halo is working on Medals and Ranks, as well. I guess pretty pictures are gonna have to hold us for the next three months...

Escape Station May Halo Pentathlon Writeups
onij stopped by to point out that the Halo 3 Beta Tournament set up by Escape Station went off as planned, and was, in fact, a success. They've got a writeup available (viewable by all) and video highlights (you must be logged in to watch). Go take a look! (Louis Wu 12:57:03 UTC) (permalink)
