And on the Seven7th Day...
Bungie has posted "a quick look" at Cold Storage - the new Vidoc is six minutes long, ranges from 65 mb to 360 mb, depending on download flavor (or can be streamed in the Bungie Media Player), and shows off the hawtness that is the soon-to-be-free Chill Out remake. The Bungie devs involved in the making of this map guide you through the ins and outs of the new map - just in time to drool for a couple of days, before you can get your mitts on it on Monday! Go watch. (Louis Wu 22:00:09 UTC) (permalink)
Recon for Recon
Heh - cool. Bungie has issued a bizarre challenge - spot an unidentified employee as he (I'm pretty sure it's a 'he') travels across the western US, wearing one of two specific shirts, introduce yourself while holding a copy of Halo 3, and you'll get Recon. There are some restrictions - read the post for full details. (Louis Wu 21:24:19 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie releases Halo PC DS Hotfix
Whoa. Remember yesterday, when we mentioned that an exploit for Halo PC Dedicated Server had been identified, and worked around by a fan, and how that was good because the game is no longer supported? Well, Bungie's Roger Wolfson, who was the head Bungie guy for Halo PC back when it WAS supported, released a hotfix today, and will be watching the Bungie.net thread for feedback in case other fixes are needed. Now THAT is support! Thanks, Roger. You rock. (Louis Wu 20:59:09 UTC) (permalink)
At Least There's No Unicorn
Today's edition of Another Halo Comic Strip had BETTER be just a figment of ZZoMBiE13's twisted mind... or I'm gonna have to hunt him down and kill him. Slowly. (Louis Wu 18:44:09 UTC) (permalink)
Snap Tactics' Halo 3 Montage 1
Z let us know about Snap Tactics' first Halo montage over at Halo3Forum - the guy has great situational awareness. Nice video quality, too! Just under 5 minutes long, 133 mb. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:48:07 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Day. It's Coming.
A full day and a half ahead of schedule, the July 4th edition of the Bungie Weekly Update is online - and trust me, you want to read it. It starts off with some warnings for folks abusing the Halo 3 File Share feature, and reminds us that the deadline for the 7 billion by the 7th challenge is fast approaching... and then moves into Goodies territory. New podcast is coming next week. Cold Storage is coming next week, and it's gonna be free. Gamerpics are coming next week. A new playlist is coming next week. And there's STILL more. Go read it - either at Bungie.net, or in our Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 17:06:20 UTC) (permalink)
Blue Food
Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 34 is up - it's a tribute to George Carlin. (Louis Wu 17:01:28 UTC) (permalink)
Chief vs Scarab
Hellhawk got tired of playing the Charlie Brown to the Scarab's Lucy on The Storm - so he made a small video to illuminate his frustration. Fun! (Great angles.) (Louis Wu 14:46:08 UTC) (permalink)
Steel Spartan for a discount
If you were interested in buying a Steel Spartan Kotobukiya statue, you might want to check out TC Games and More - they're selling it for $76 right now. Their shipping is a little higher than the next guy - but all told, with standard shipping it's $91 - at least $15 cheaper than anywhere else I could find it. (Louis Wu 14:23:35 UTC) (permalink)
Online Respawn Timer for Halo 3
There's a website called FPSBuddy that offers a respawn timer for Halo 3 - that works on your mobile device. The free version only works for FFA (Lone Wolves) gameplay - but if you're willing to pay $4/month, there's a version that works for all gametypes and maps. I guess that's one way to step up your game! (Louis Wu 14:22:30 UTC) (permalink)
