Halo news back Saturday, June 20, 2009 Halo news forward

Keeping track of peripheral action is REALLY hard.
Wow. Them Texans, not wanting to EVER be outdone, went and set up a game of Halo 3 (among other games) on a 160-by-72-foot (not inch) screen; the Cowboys Stadium LED wall was used to play some 360 stuff during downtime. That has got to be the biggest screen hosting a game of Halo... ever. Thanks, Blackstar. (Louis Wu 22:17:39 UTC) (permalink)

Security Zone, in SketchUp
juzzz is back - this time with a SketchUp file of 'Security Zone', the other Firefight map shown at E3. Once again, the work does a great job of detailing the space! We've added local copies of all screens and the SketchUp file itself to CaLL Me ZeNy's HBO forum post - we'd hate for you to miss this! (Louis Wu 15:03:52 UTC) (permalink)

Zee update - she eez up!
What happens on Fridays? Oh, yeah, Bungie releases its Weekly Update - and this Friday is no different. This one focuses heavily on Crater[night], one of the maps you'll be getting well acquainted with once you get your hands on ODST's Firefight mode. It's not all that's in there, though - there's also some important Render-To-Video beta news (they're deleting ALL rendered videos on Monday, so download the ones you want NOW - and also on Monday, ALL Bungie Pro subscribers - not just those who paid for it - will be able to use the service), and some Haloscreenshots.com contest info, and a few other tidbits. Including some awesome sound clips from Johnson. Go read! (Either at Bungie.net, or here, in our Weekly Update Archive.) (Louis Wu 01:16:59 UTC) (permalink)
