HaloCharts Firefight Challenge
HaloCharts has a pair of Firefight Challenges going on right now, with a whole bunch more to come - swing by to read about Insecurity (Security Zone Challenge) and Windswept (Windward Challenge). These are great for meeting other players and winning fun stuff! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 21:28:23 UTC) (permalink)
Rookie no more
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte has another render up in his gallery here - this one is called 'Rookie no more', and takes a darker look at the growth of a Spartan. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:18:02 UTC) (permalink)
It's Rainin' Videos
Bungie's Comm Chatter has more videos than you can shake a remote at:
- Hardass Space Adventures continues with 'Bring Your Orphan To Work Day' - I don't think Hardass's friends understand what kids are all about. Especially kids like Lyle.
- B Mc Gan and Mc Gann2 released Dualistic Proelium - HD gameplay collected from Social and MLG lists.
- A bunch of fans put together footage from Rocket Race to create Shuttle, a Rocket Race montage.
- Red Bull Sniper has a montage called 'Fury of the Noob 3' - DPM's pretty high.
- Greenskull built a 'Randomtage' - it's pretty random.

Reach Team talks to GI
Game Informer continues their Halo: Reach coverage - there's a video interview with some of the team behind Reach. Not a lot of actual REACH content - but you'll get a glimpse into the people building the game! Thanks, 2900d4u. (Louis Wu 17:26:14 UTC) (permalink)
Hide, Seek, Snap - Round 3 Winner
Congrats to Playkid, who successfully reproduced our Round 3 screenshot for the Hide, Seek, Snap contest - a Sgt. Johnson code is on its way! (We don't have a Round 4 image up yet; things are a little crazy around here. Hopefully soon!) (Louis Wu 16:19:49 UTC) (permalink)
I don't think that's what Cortana meant...
Cody Miller was struck by inspiration (or maybe a falling brick) and came up with a not-safe-for-work ditty. Text-only; you'll have to sing it in your head. (Careful.) (Louis Wu 16:18:40 UTC) (permalink)
2009's Most Popular Xbox Live Titles in Australia
Yesterday, we mentioned the 2009 top 20 Xbox LIVE titles in the US, courtesy of Major Nelson. Today, Kotaku Australia has posted the top 10 most popular titles for the year in Australia. Halo 3 was number one, there, too. (ODST came in at #7 - the Aussies liked it more than the Americans did!) (Louis Wu 16:17:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Heart of Midlothian Comes Alive
We don't usually use prewritten blurbs, but this one's pretty good:
343 Industries has partnered with ONE to create a stunning motion comic based on Frank O'Connor's Halo: Evolutions short story. Told in ONE's unique artistic style, "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" is a story of bravery and sacrifice in the darkest parts of space. "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" will air weekly as a four-part series exclusive to Halo Waypoint, starting this Saturday, January 16th. After the final episode, the Midlothian series will be available on Waypoint indefinitely so fans can come back to watch this amazing story again and again.
We're happy to be able to bring you the trailer in 720p downloadable beauty - you can grab a copy from us in WMP9 (24.4 mb) or QuickTime (29.4 mb) formats. This was a wonderful story in the Evolutions collection, and an animated retelling makes my feet tingle. Go grab the trailer - and look forward to Part 1 on Waypoint this Saturday!
