Marine
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte is back - he's got a new render for you, and he's calling it 'Marine'. Nice motion test! We've added it to his gallery here; if you're not familiar with his work, take a look around! (Louis Wu 19:01:23 UTC) (permalink)
Community Cartographers: Neosho
The latest Community Cartographer feature has gone live at Bungie.net - Butane123 talks about his creation Neosho, a map that's gotten play in both the Bungie against the World playlist last month, and the 7 on the 7th playlist this month. Go give it a read! (Louis Wu 18:53:30 UTC) (permalink)
Operation Chastity gets Wired
Pete Cooper is tickled that Operation Chastity, his Halo fan film project, made it into Wired Magazine - there's an interview, along with pics. Some have been seen here before... but there's a new progress shot of the warthog, and some storyboards. Great stuff! Congrats, Pete. (Louis Wu 18:31:11 UTC) (permalink)
Double XP Weekend: Team Flag
Interested in capturing a flag or three? This weekend's Double XP playlist is Team Flag - and it went live 20 minutes ago. Full description can be found on Bungie's Playlists page... but know that it's 5v5, and you need all maps. (Louis Wu 18:20:49 UTC) (permalink)
Creamer on playing with your friends
Kotaku "why publish an interview all at once, when you can release a couple of questions a day and increase ad revenues exponentially?" Australia has posted yet another article containing info from a Curtis Creamer interview they conducted last week. This one focuses on the fact that the vast majority of Halo 3 players, worldwide, do NOT play multiplayer online... and how some of the decisions that were made with respect to how the mode works were driven by this fact. Drop-in, drop-out Firefight matchmaking might be pretty cool... but it's not what Bungie was aiming at. (Louis Wu 17:59:47 UTC) (permalink)
ODST Multiplayer, through Destructoid's eyes
Destructoid has a writeup of the Mythic Map Pack 2 - no videos, but text-based impressions, and plenty of screens. (Louis Wu 17:53:31 UTC) (permalink)
When time is short, steal vids from urk
Three new vids for you, courtesy of urk and the Bungie Blog:
- Anoj has posted Episode 38 of his Top 10 Halo 3 Series (this one focuses on Objective Kills)
- Tranquility has put up a sniperific montage called 'A Place of My Own' (more snipes than you can shake a spiker at)
- Jump Theory's Gary UK released Rush, a Halo 2 jumping vid. Great to see some of those maps (and those gameplay glitches) again!
Enjoy! (Louis Wu 17:47:24 UTC) (permalink)
Lots more Mythic action
More videos of multiplayer gameplay on the new Mythic maps coming with ODST: TeamXbox has a bunch, 1UP's Dave 'lybertyboy' Ellis put up a full 16-player One-Flag CTF match on Longshore (in two pieces), and GameTrailers has a sizeable collection (thanks, Kibbles). You could spend all morning watching... most of this stuff is in HD. (Louis Wu 13:20:55 UTC) (permalink)
