Spartan-III hybrid armor - CGI
BlendedEcks posted a pic of his latest CGI work - Spartan III armor. Wow. (Louis Wu 20:31:57 UTC) (permalink)
That guy needs some Windex.
This is just... weird. Sometimes I don't know what Attack of the Show is thinking... Update: Wow, it's even worse. nash_housewares points out that the MC video is a parody of THIS vid. Don't watch this if you have any respect at all for David Hasselhoff. (Wow, that was a pointless sentence.) (Louis Wu 19:31:34 UTC) (permalink)
History Circling Back Upon Us.
The big news this morning is an email that went out to folks who've signed up for Xbox Flash mail. Compton started a thread on our forum about this (but you're probably better off getting a discussion going at the ARG forum, since this is almost certainly related). For folks who didn't get a copy, you can see it online here (in English or French - thanks, Zulag). As many, many people have noted, this feels like the early Cortana letters... nice to get back to roots! (Louis Wu 14:32:14 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox Controllers, Figures coming from McFarlane
More info about the halo 3 Xbox Controllers - apparently Todd McFarlane created the artwork, and each one will be packaged with a limited edition Halo 3 figurine created by McFarlane, as well. Pretty nice! Lots of people got us this news - looks like Tango was first. (Louis Wu 14:25:10 UTC) (permalink)
Another K'NEX rifle
JustyB also made a Halo rifle out K'NEX pieces - his work's here. (Louis Wu 14:21:36 UTC) (permalink)
Aftermath
Newsweek has done their OWN post-mortem on the Halo 3 Beta - it comes in two parts. Part 1 has comments from the print media: representatives of Newsweek, EGM, OXM, USA Today, San Jose Mercury News. Part 2 has comments from the online media: The Hushed Casket (go rapture!), Gearheads of War, Kotaku, Entertainment Weekly, Ars Technica, Halo Anyone?, and the Frag Dolls all weigh in. 3Suns, who let us know about this, is unhappy that folks are focusing on the fact that graphics 'don't look as good as Gears of War'. (I'd say to those who feel this way: wait until you see the single player campaign before you make your mind up.) Go read - good stuff. (Should I feel slighted they didn't ask us for an opinion?)

Perspective
Bungie's written up a post-mortem on the Halo 3 Beta experience; what they learned, what they were surprised by, what they expected. How much they're listening. Read it; it should make you more confident that the final product will be a lot of fun to play. Looks like Zattack89 was first on our forum with the news. (Louis Wu 14:03:37 UTC) (permalink)
Parting Shots
Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen has written up a final look at the Halo 3 Beta, comparing some of the changes in gameplay from Halo 2's model. Take a look. (Louis Wu 13:44:42 UTC) (permalink)
Gamers Outreach Foundation
You might remember Zach Wigal, the guy who had his dreams of a Halo lanfest dashed by his school administration, and went on to form a charity in response... well, that charity's website is now up and running. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 13:32:17 UTC) (permalink)
