Halo 3: ODST
Wait... what? Over at Bungie.net, there's an announcement that the product formerly known as Halo 3: Recon has been renamed - it's now Halo 3: ODST. (Don't worry, you'll still be able to earn Recon armor once it comes out. Only the name is changing.) (Louis Wu 18:46:31 UTC) (permalink)
All The Fixings
Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked 43 is up - some people have one-track minds. (Louis Wu 18:46:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough: Halo (and a challenge)
The ninth and final chapter of Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris' Solo Legendary All Skulls On walkthrough of Halo 3 is now online - the level Halo, with its gorgeous architecture and its tribute to the Maw run, can be handled at the highest possible difficulty. Go give it a read/watch! And once you're finished... you might want to swing by Bungie.net, and the Quest for SLASO group Tyrant founded there - he's posted a description of his Monthly Mythic Challenge. Each month, starting on the first, and ending on the 7th, you'll have a chance to use the skills he's taught you to beat Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty - if you're the first to do so for the month, you'll win 4000 MS Points. Full rules (including eligibility and exact timing) are in the newspost - so go read! You've got a week or so to prepare. (Louis Wu 17:19:46 UTC) (permalink)
Ten Signs of a Troubled Halo Relationship
I'm not sure what to say about this article from Hawty McBloggy - so maybe I won't say anything. It's safe for work... but the concepts are a little disturbing. (Louis Wu 16:15:03 UTC) (permalink)
Building a better social framework
Boxes and Arrows has posted the first part of an interview with Colm Nelson, the Interaction Designer for Halo 3 - it's an interesting look into how Bungie works as a studio, and how Colm got a job in the first place. I don't think I'd ever heard of 'Interaction Design' before - in the context of Colm's job, it seems to be about the way that the game ties in with LIVE and Bungie.net in allowing the player to interact with other players. Fun stuff! (Louis Wu 16:08:21 UTC) (permalink)
TTL Y(ay)
XerxdeeJ stopped by late last night with word of a new update at Tied the Leader - it's a discussion of why, in fact, anyone might actually WANT to wear Recon armor in this day and age. It's a funny read. (Louis Wu 16:04:58 UTC) (permalink)
