A Cowboy Outfit.
Last Friday's Weekly Update had some comments about upcoming maps. Today's One One Se7en has some comments about those comments. Call them map metacomments. (Louis Wu 22:01:32 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie's Soliciting (Questions)
Luke Smith posted a note on the Bungie.net forums, soliciting questions to be answered in the next Weekly What's Update - stop by the thread and add your own query if you're burning to know something that hasn't been addressed. Thanks, Decommissioner. (Louis Wu 20:54:13 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 141
Podtacular 141 has been released - an hour long, 29 mb, focusing on the campaign level The Storm. Thanks, Samus 117. (Louis Wu 20:52:44 UTC) (permalink)
McFarlane Packaging Made Public
Littlebigman noticed that the McFarlane Halo toy packaging is now viewable at Toy News International - I'm not sure how exciting this is to most people, but hey, you never know. (Louis Wu 20:45:59 UTC) (permalink)
Gaming Records, in Print
Phan7om pointed out a new publication from the Guiness World Records folks - this one is devoted to games, and the preview contains a pair of pages from the Halo section. As several of the thread contributors point out, the info in the preview is awfully out of date. (Louis Wu 20:42:51 UTC) (permalink)
DualView - cool? Or lame?
This product looks like it could be awesome... or it could totally suck. If it works, it means full-screen Halo goodness for two people - on a single screen. If it doesn't... it means a chunk of money out of your pocket, for something you'll never use. I guess we'll wait and see! (Louis Wu 20:40:52 UTC) (permalink)
MC Sculpture
SnprTw is putting together a ceramic Master Chief sculpture for her art class - it's not fired or glazed yet, but it's already looking pretty amazing! (Louis Wu 20:38:00 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Halo 3 Gametypes for 2008 Season Announced
Major League Gaming has announced the rules/gametypes that will be used during the Halo 3 2008 Pro Circuit - you can grab them from their FileShare on Bungie.net. Thanks to GotFrag eSports for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:28:15 UTC) (permalink)
Wow, they must all be Level 60
Heh - Kotaku.au got hold of a screen from Halo 3 matchmaking that suggests that the algorithm that counts online players might have... some problems. (Remember that Xbox LIVE just passed 8 million total subscribers a few weeks ago.) (Louis Wu 19:47:03 UTC) (permalink)
Bustin' Halo Myths
Hawty McBloggy found a video called 'Halo 3 Mythbusters' - it looks at burning Halo multiplayer questions, and does its best to answer them. (Okay, maybe they're not actually burning. But some of them might make you curious!) (Louis Wu 12:21:43 UTC) (permalink)
broken Iris Halo Machinima Contest
HaloGrid.com has kicked off a new contest - create a music video using one of three songs by the band broken Iris, win some cool schwag (mostly involving the band itself). Full details can be found at HaloGrid. (Louis Wu 12:05:38 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 81
Yesterday was a bit light, newswise - blame Bioshock. I'll do my best to clean up the queue this morning. Sigafoos wrote to us about The Riot 81, almost half an hour (11 mb) of community news, with discussion about their Community Awards, along with other fun stuff. Full details at Second Foundation.
