HaloClix - now with spoilers
An article at Ars Technica looks at the upcoming HaloClix release from WizKids - and warns of story spoilers that will be available before Halo 3 ships. Hmm... (Louis Wu 13:51:51 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox.com massively updates its Halo 3 portal
There's a boatload of new content at the Xbox.com Halo 3 portal - check out the Articles section, for example. Too many to list - just go through 'em. Poke around! (Louis Wu 13:48:26 UTC) (permalink)
Chief of Death
Okay... what? sleepingdragon80 created a Chief of Death. Boredom is a wonderful thing. (Louis Wu 13:46:03 UTC) (permalink)
2nd Blomkamp Short - Color Corrected
Awesome. DocOctavius was unhappy with the color in the recently mentioned Blomkamp short shakeycammed at Leipzig - so he corrected it. Looks great now! (Still waiting on official word on this one...) Save his bandwidth - use our link. (Louis Wu 12:16:18 UTC) (permalink)
Create your own Halo 3 Trailer
Wow, bizarre. You can make your own Halo 3 Mashup by combining clips from released trailers - and there's also a link to enter a Halo 3 gear sweepstakes (17 or over, US resident). Swing by Halo3.msn.com for more details. (Louis Wu 11:44:59 UTC) (permalink)
Nathan Fillion as a marine?
Phoenix Sabe pointed us to this thread at Bungie.net - he claims that he's got confirmation that Nathan Fillion, who plays Mal in Firefly and Serenity, can be heard in one of the new gameplay clips coming out of Leipzig. There's no mention of him on the IMDb page for Halo 3 - but that doesn't mean Sabe's wrong. I guess we'll know soon! Update: S043 (and a bunch of people who followed up) heard the same thing.

Dream Of Super Caffeination
Sane Intolerant combined Halo 3 Game Fuel with Halo 2 action figures, and ended up with a new episode of Halo Toy Box. Check it out! (Louis Wu 11:17:53 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 gets a '15' from the BBFC
deftangel let us know that the official BBFC rating for Halo 3 (the game, not the extra discs this time around) is "15" - so the "12" rating of the supplementary discs in the Limited and Legendary editions is overriden. (The rating page also reveals that there are 41 minutes worth of cutscenes - a significant reduction from Halo 2. Bungie has already said that more of the story will be revealed through gameplay this time around, but this is the first hard evidence of that.) (Louis Wu 10:54:49 UTC) (permalink)
Greatest skip day of the year.
Nate R. did some interviews at the IMAX showing on Tuesday - you can watch the video at GameVideos.com. (Louis Wu 10:28:58 UTC) (permalink)
2old2clan
2old2play talked to Frankie about clan support (well, the planned lack of it) in Halo 3 - go read why Bungie's not worried, and thinks you shouldn't be either.

News of the Halo 3 Official Guide
MCV confirms that Prima and Piggyback (the companies that created the Halo 2 strategy guide) are once again working together to bring you the Halo 3 Official guide, which will be on store shelves before the game. Do your best to avoid spoiling yourself! (Louis Wu 10:27:59 UTC) (permalink)
Worst Newspost Ever
There's a ton of Halo news waiting to be posted - but I haven't been around much the last couple of days. Start with tonight's Bungie Weekly Update - more will come tomorrow. Sounds like Bungie's busier than I am... (You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive if you prefer.) (Louis Wu 03:14:07 UTC) (permalink)
