Halo news back Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Halo news forward Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Bring out the Helveck, and bring out your best.
It's Tuesday, so it's time for another Average Joe on Bungie.net - and today's victim is Helveck. If the name doesn't ring a bell, swing by and figure out what he's done for you lately. (Louis Wu 18:11:39 UTC) (permalink)

HMB's Video Game March Madness - Round 1
I'm not sure I understand what's going on... but Hawty McBloggy is hosting a 'March Madness' video game tournament (with games competing with each other), and Halo 3 is in the first round, kicking off today. It's up against Street Fighter II - she's got tons of info for you if you want to follow along! (As of this moment, Halo 3 is kicking some butt - 20 votes to zero.)

Mythic Gameplay for Mythic Maps
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris let us know that nobody won the extra-long two-week Mythic Challenge in March - so there's a new challenge afoot. This current Saturday, March 21, you'll have 24 hours (from midnight to midnight PST) to complete Floodgate - the easiest Halo 3 level to do on Mythic Difficulty. The fastest time turned in during the time period will win a Mythic Map code. You need to have your results to Tyrant within 24 hours of the end of the contest (ie by 11:59 pm PST on Sunday) in order to be eligible. (And remember... you can always check Tyrant's Mythic Walkthrough here on HBO for pointers on getting through!) Get to practicing! (Louis Wu 17:31:42 UTC) (permalink)

Montage Mania
It's like it's Montage Day on Bungie.net:

  • Pogra celebrated a birthday in January by playing for 24 hours straight - folks dropped in when they could. Clearly, they tried some weird stuff.
  • An older 'sticktage' from Bipolar Nick (originally posted in October) made the Blog today.
  • "Ooh, Stick You" is a real song. That has nothing to do with Halo. (Well, before now.) Warning: overexposure can be dangerous.

That might be it, for a while... (Louis Wu 17:08:09 UTC) (permalink)

ODST WIP
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte let us know that he's been working on a new ODST render - you can check it out in his gallery here. Don't mess with these guys! (Louis Wu 10:43:58 UTC) (permalink)

Tweet, Tweet
agdtinman says it's on: when he gets to 2x as many Twitter followers as Stosh, he'll post a Mythic Map code. Of course, the downside is you have to follow him on Twitter... Update: Luke has decided to make it a little more interesting... there are potentially LOTS of codes available, if only you'll reject tinman and stosh. Go read the details!

Wow... that's just corny.
Hawty McBloggy found a shot on Flickr of a Master Chief created from... canned vegetables. (He's even got a stickydoom plastered to the side of his head, courtesy of Gatorade and some backlighting.) My question is... which of those guys first held a can of creamed corn in his (or her) hand and thought... hmm, I wonder what the Master Chief would look like if I used these?

It's Darker.
jdars sent us word of a Wallpaper he'd created, and posted at DeviantART - it's Bungie-focused, but pretty Halo-related. (Louis Wu 10:35:00 UTC) (permalink)
