Halo news back Tuesday, April 7, 2009 Halo news forward

I'm feeling behind...
Tons of new content on the Bungie Blog:

But wait, there's more!
The Mythic Map Pack will be available for purchase in just two short days - so Bungie's giving you an early taste with a funny-as-all-get-out trailer (I think Shishka might have a future in Infomercials) and a downloadable premium theme for your 360 (250 points, but hey, it's pretty!). Go download the vid, and check out the theme, now! (Louis Wu 17:18:38 UTC) (permalink)

That ODST menu? It ain't real.
Okay, this is getting posted because we're getting lots of mail about it. As an April Fools joke, CaLL Me ZeNy, of Halo3Infinity.net, created a fake main menu for the Halo 3: ODST game, and posted a shakeycam film of it on YouTube. It was picked up by various sites, ostensibly as a real leaked film, and has been making the rounds. It's not real, but CMZ has upgraded the original file to an HD film so that you can see his work more clearly. Again: this was an April Fools joke that got out of hand. There IS no beta build of Halo 3: ODST in the wild. Period. (Louis Wu 16:36:48 UTC) (permalink)

urk highlighted a new episode of Death from Above Top 10 - this one is #2, Multikills. Watch carefully, because there's no voiceover to help you interpret the results... but mostly, you can see what's going on. (Louis Wu 13:46:10 UTC) (permalink)
