The Promise of Reach
Domino Theory ran across some interesting information at SKOAR! - there's a small tidbit about the advanced graphics tech being developed for Halo: Reach.
Ever since the news of a new engine being employed by Bungie there has been huge speculation on its nature and platform of content that it will incorporate Steve Theodore (Technical Director) at Bungie has spent the last two years on "Researching new graphics tech and helping to evangelize it within the team." Two years spent around building new technology should finally make the game usher within the high definition revolution.
Sounds promising! (Louis Wu 21:17:59 UTC) (permalink)
BungLog Razzmatazz
Lots of new content for you this afternoon at Bungie.net:

- Phurion's back with a new montage - it's called 'BOOM', and it features some very nicely-timed (though at times really hard-to-watch) gameplay. Go check out his boom boom, in HD.
- The ViDoc released this morning, Desperate Measures, can now be found in the ODST Field Guide - streaming versions of the video are now available, along with the downloadable ones.
- Homeboyd903 created a pretty cool map he calls Backdraft - and urk was there to get the lowdown on the map and how it plays, just for you.

The Chronicles of Lyle: Chapter 1 - Team Players
Yesterday, Chapter 1 of The Chronicles of Lyle ('Team Players') went live on YouTube - and you should watch it, because it's pretty funny. I heard about it on the Bungie Blog, so don't forget to thank urk. (Louis Wu 13:38:17 UTC) (permalink)
We got some good news... and some bad news.
Halo Wars news today - a new Dev Blog (Leader Powers Part Three) is live... and "an Xbox LIVE technical issue" is the cause of a complete wipe of all Halo Wars Xbox LIVE Leaderboards yesterday (thanks, SonofMacPhisto). Bad news for folks who were playing for recognition... (Louis Wu 13:37:43 UTC) (permalink)
Desperate Measures
Itching for new information about the Halo 3: ODST campaign? Bungie's got your back - a new ViDoc went live last night, while most of us slept. 3:34 long, it tells the story of the ODST team you'll be playing when the game drops on September 22. Told from the viewpoint of Gunnery Sergeant Eddie Buck, you're introduced to the full team - and to their mission in this game. Get tactical, marines! (Video is available in a variety of sizes and resolutions... from 180p all the way up to 720p, in both QuickTime and WMP9.) (Louis Wu 10:09:50 UTC) (permalink)
