Halo Times Ten: Halo Wars Vidoc on XBLM
S1kkZ, over at NeoGAF, noticed a new Halo Wars vidoc on the Marketplace - it's 204 mb, HD, four and a half minutes long, and loaded with new gameplay and cutscene footage. If it doesn't find its way to the web in the near future, we'll put up a copy of our own. Update: you can queue it up for download right on the web - no hunting when you get home! Thanks, mendicantbias00. Update 2: if you're not interested in watching this on your TV, you can stream it from YouTube (thanks, onebitrocket), stream it from Halo.fr (thanks, Johnny Be Good), or download it in 720p in either QuickTime or WMP9 formats (170 mb, either type) from us.

Hi-res Halo 3: ODST Stills
Bungie's posted a new pair of Halo 3: ODST Trailer stills on the ODST Project Page - or you can go directly to the images in question: Red Eye | Alert Zone.
