Go ahead. Wash your Bubble Shield with Flame.
Wow. Very interesting article about new flame-related weapons in Halo 3 - the flamethrower is IN, and so is the Firebomb! Go read at IGN. Thanks, TheSneak. (The 3D view is great!) Update: Nice call by Flashman - I honestly hadn't noticed the significance of the name. (Louis Wu 23:20:06 UTC) (permalink)
Dan Miller Steps it Up
The next Bungie Podcast is available at Bungie.net, and iTunes (soon, I guess) - 72 mb of Bungie goodness. Go listen! (Louis Wu 23:14:10 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 124 part 2 of 2
Foo Mo Jive pointed out that Podtacular 124 part 2 of 2 is now up - more discussion of 'the new Halo 3 Hotness' (as discussed in EGM). Go listen! (Louis Wu 18:36:04 UTC) (permalink)
Well-Earned Promotion.
Stuntmutt wants in on the current Halo 3 Marketing craze - check today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 17:44:37 UTC) (permalink)
Gearing up for Launch, Fan-style
Devastator decided to upgrade his Nightmare Armor Spartan helmet - no more painted ridges, now they're REAL! Very snazzy. (Louis Wu 16:02:15 UTC) (permalink)
Haven Teaser
BlackouTT let us know that he's working on a new machinima project, entitled 'Haven'. He's released a teaser, which we're mirroring in both QuickTime (20.4 mb) and WMP9 (17.3 mb) formats. Great effects - looks to be an interesting project! Check it out. (Louis Wu 15:56:26 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Thirteen new stories this week in the Fan Fiction section - busy week! (Louis Wu 14:18:28 UTC) (permalink)
I'm too slow.
So a few hours ago, Frankie stopped by to post a request for questions for tomorrow's (today's) Bungie Weekly Update; I'd planned to go to bed and post all the Halo news in the queue in the morning... but once I saw his note, I wanted to clear the queue, so his post could be on top, where it would be seen the best. Of course, it took me WAY longer to get through the queue than it took him to get enough questions to work with... so the thread was locked before I ever got around to publicizing it. No matter, though - there's some good reading in those questions... and the queue's nearly empty. Time for sleep? (Louis Wu 07:53:06 UTC) (permalink)
Site of Champions?
boesman noticed a page at IGN that suggested something big is coming from Microsoft on August 22 - and it seems to have something to do with Halo. (I have it on good authority, though, that Bungie has nothing to do with this; make of that what you will.) (Louis Wu 07:45:40 UTC) (permalink)
Eisen's Elite Helmet
Eisen Feuer created an Elite Helmet pounded from metal; you can wear it, or you can use it to kill medium-sized animals. He posted about it on our forum, pointing to a DeviantART page - but he also gave us permission to put up a series of shots. Go look - it's pretty cool. (Louis Wu 07:32:43 UTC) (permalink)
Schooled.
The latest Halo Humpday Challenge is posted at Bungie.net; Luke and Frankie took on a pair of artists (Tom Doyle and Steve Cotton) and then spent the rest of the night coming up with excuses for why they (Luke and Frankie) lost. Okay, not that many excuses. But still... anyway, thanks, MasterChief2829. (Louis Wu 07:17:21 UTC) (permalink)
Lost Cause Episode 14
Haloplayer dropped in to let us know that Lost Cause Episode 14 is now up - in a lot of flavors. They had some technical difficulties... but the story's back, and you can watch it in many formats. Check out his post! (Louis Wu 06:55:00 UTC) (permalink)
Church
Dennis Powers pointed out a new Halo CE Map (not quite ready for download yet) - Crowpath has been working on 'Church', and has released a video (available in WMP9 and QuickTime) - it really is pretty amazing to look at. Grab a copy, check it out for yourself. (Louis Wu 06:25:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Missile Pack
The Halo 3 Missile Pack has been commented on a bit in the last couple of days - but there's finally a picture up at Gamestop. As KP noted, the folks at Kotaku were underwhelmed. Forum consensus was that it looks cool, but it shouldn't say Halo 3 on it. (Louis Wu 06:11:46 UTC) (permalink)
Iris ARG Progress - Server 4 Opens
Avateur stopped by our main forum to point out a summary of the content available from the newly-opened Server 4 at halo3.com - the Iris ARG continues on. (Louis Wu 06:06:44 UTC) (permalink)
SBG FFA tourney results
Namloco let us know that the SBG FFA tournament was a wild success - you can read about it on the SBG website. Cash payout came to almost $200, and people had a great time! (Louis Wu 05:25:03 UTC) (permalink)
Mountain Dew Game Fuel Sweepstakes
And the Halo-branded marketing rolls on. Over at Xbox.com, you'll find a new Halo sweepstakes discussed; it doesn't kick off until September 1, but there's lots of goodies to win. Go read about it! Thanks, KP. (I found it mildly amusing that the Xbox.com page calls it the 'Mountain Dew Game Fuel Sweepstakes', whereas the actual sweepstakes website calls it the 'Halo 3 Slurpee Sweeps'. I'm gonna hold out for the Halo 3 Lard on a Stick Sweeps, myself.) (Louis Wu 05:22:45 UTC) (permalink)
