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)

Halo 3 Interactive Desktop

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)
