Bungie Weekly Update: ODST Concept Art
The Bungie Weekly Update is up way earlier than normal, but hey, when your whole update consists of cool concept art, it's pretty straightforward to get it online. Go look at the ODST goodies! You can, as usual, do so in our own Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose. (Louis Wu 19:37:45 UTC) (permalink)
Pacifist Speed Runs at HSH
NOKYARD, of High Speed Halo, wrote to say that the Pacifist Speed Run table is now online. These runs do not allow pulling triggers, grenades or melee of any kind - you might wonder what folks are doing not shooting in a first person SHOOTER, but hey, it IS the season of peace. Go read about these runs on HSH, or just get to downloading. (Louis Wu 19:35:29 UTC) (permalink)
Dark Side
FireDragon04 let us know that he's got a new Halo 3 machinima short up on YouTube. His description to me suggested that the video "follows a very confusing un-linear story and doesn't explain anything but lets everyone take away their own conclusion to the video" - pretty accurate. Go see if you like it. (Louis Wu 19:31:20 UTC) (permalink)
HD Halo CGI
Nabsuh stopped into our forum with a pretty obscure teaser for his upcoming project - there's enough there to whet your appetite, but not enough to really let you know what's going on. (Isn't that what a teaser is all about?) Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:19:04 UTC) (permalink)

Destroyer - a Montage
Kral, from Halo.fr, wrote to tell us about a new montage he's edited, showing off gameplay by UFG Ninja SI - 3:33 long, available in HD format on YouTube. The music is a bit abrasive, but the editing is pretty good. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:13:46 UTC) (permalink)
Itsy Witsy Halo 3 Helmets
Ross Mills pointed out an article on Kotaku about the upcoming helmets from McFarlane, for their Spartan figures. Adorable!

Just before Christmas, B.net's Yoozel posted a note about Forgecast #5, the latest podcast from the ForgeHub team. Looks like Scotty (interviewed on the 'cast) let our forum know this morning. Swing by and grab a copy! (Louis Wu 17:06:08 UTC) (permalink)
