Polishing the Bling
Bungie's made some pretty big changes to Bungie.net - forums have been upgraded, Groups get new themes. Go read about it - and then explore! (Louis Wu 20:16:24 UTC) (permalink)
How to spend your leftover Christmas money
several orphans pointed out a bunch of objects at the Bungie Store - some ActionClix stuff, a couple of posters, a mylar print. They've never been mentioned in our news, so if you haven't seen 'em, check 'em out! (Louis Wu 19:46:26 UTC) (permalink)
Epitaph Panoramas
AlkalineProdigy sent us a couple of panoramic shots of Epitaph (Side Full | Tower) - really gives you a sense of scale! (That tiny blue thing at the top is where you play.) (Louis Wu 19:41:25 UTC) (permalink)
You, Me, Them, Everybody, Everbody...
Plenty of recycled jokes in today's One One Se7en... but anything that references the Blues Brothers can't be all bad. (Wait, shouldn't that be the Blue SISTER?) (Louis Wu 15:09:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars - on 360 and PC?
The Angry Pixel claims to have inside information that Halo Wars is being developed for the PC as well as the Xbox360 - and that the two versions will be able to play together. Pretty cool, if it turns out to be true! Thanks, ActionTrip. (Louis Wu 15:02:35 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 3 vs Call of Duty 4: IGN Grudge Match
If you're an IGN Insider, you can watch a Halo 3 vs CoD4 Grudge Match - a pair of IGN editors describe why one game is better than the other. IGN fans chose CoD4 almost 2:1 over Halo 3, but some of the arguments seem... weak. (The CoD4 advocate ends the match with "Enjoy your six year old game, suckas!" - I guess Call of Duty is better because it's only four years old?) (Louis Wu 13:45:33 UTC) (permalink)
Halo - it shows up EVERYWHERE
Mister Tortoise picked up a copy of DC's Metamorpho Year One Issue 3, and found a panel with some tributes to Halo. Fun! (Louis Wu 13:38:44 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo 3 Panoramas
Shadowfax1007 let us know that he and Ecthelion have put a collection of Halo 3 panoramas online, with more coming in the next week or two. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:11:15 UTC) (permalink)
Well, THAT didn't last long.
Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, and Avateur, on our forum, both noticed that Call of Duty 4's reign on the top of the Xbox LIVE charts lasted... one week. As of the week of January 21, Halo 3 is back at the top of the charts, according to Major Nelson. It's a good bet that these two games will trade the lead in coming weeks... but it's amusing to look at the pattern: Halo 2 was on top for 105 weeks, Gears of War held the spot for 45 weeks, Halo 3 was up there for 16 consecutive weeks, and CoD4 stood at the top for... a week.

Raulboy stumbled across a 'Build a Spartan' Flash app while perusing the B.net forums - add your own helmet and armor, change the color, and outfit your weapons! Doesn't look totally finished yet, but it's a nice start. Update: Scotty GEE (the creator) let us know that his project, GEE-MC, will actually be hosted at this URL from now on.
