Community Spotlight: GrifballHub.com
This week's highlighted community group is Grifballhub.com - swing by Bungie.net for a mini-interview and their Favorite files, filling up the Bungie Favorites page. (Louis Wu 20:56:04 UTC) (permalink)
Movies, Movies, and More Movies (and a contest)
A million movies at Bungie.net (well, okay, not quite a million):
- Top 10 Halo 3 Airborne Kills: Episode 47 is the latest from Anoj. You know what to expect.
- Why is he singing? is a bizarre machinima - I'd have left this out if there weren't so many. I don't get teh funni.
- The Comeback is a montage from MeH Leier - lots of snipes.
- High Impact Halo has yet another new Halo CE-based Warthog vid - this one launches 2 hogs.
While you're watching movies, check out the 'Be A Hero' Film Clip contest, hosted by the leaders of a Bungie.net group - you could win 4000 MS Points for turning in the coolest clip that meets the rules. W00T! (Louis Wu 20:46:03 UTC) (permalink)
Heretic, Citadel, Longshore - YOU CAN BUY EM (soon)
Whoa - great news. The three new Halo 3 Mythic maps that were released with Halo 3: ODST are FINALLY going to be available for download on Xbox LIVE, starting February 2. Only a bit over 4 months late! Thanks, Kotaku (and GrimBrother One). (Louis Wu 18:02:15 UTC) (permalink)
Sumthing Else announces Halo Legends Soundtrack
Thanks to Greg O'Connor-Read for letting us know about the press release for the Halo Legends Original Soundtrack - you can read the full release around the web (the first copy I found was at MCV). The soundtrack will be available on February 9, a week before the Legends disc itself is released. Go read about it! (Louis Wu 17:20:38 UTC) (permalink)
Wednesday Comic Roundup
Two new comics for you today: DeepCee has updated Chronicles of ODS Steve - #57 (Cry Havok) is now live on Hawty McBloggy. I think things are gonna go boom soon... and TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 237 (Apostate Awakening) is online - things seem to be going well for Ferial. Go read!

'Murder Mode'? Really? Pfft.
Ah, springtime (well, not quite) - the smell of new life... and fake video clips. ElzarTheBam pointed out a video purporting to show the opening of the Halo Reach public beta. Consensus of the forum? FAKE. Don't get fooled, kids; there'll be REAL leaks out there soon enough, but this ain't one of 'em. (Louis Wu 16:33:23 UTC) (permalink)
Exploiting the love
I totally forgot to post this yesterday - it went live Monday night, but Tuesday was a very, very bad day. I didn't ignore it because I didn't like it - it was just an oversight. Cody Miller continued his series of Lonely Island parodies - Sh*t in a Box takes a look at pricing for special editions. I've been humming this all morning... (Louis Wu 16:21:53 UTC) (permalink)
A slightly early look at Reach Screens
It looks like EB Games Australia was the first site on the internet to break the embargo on Reach screenshots - you can see eight shots (in relatively low res) directly on their site, plus 3 more that never got linked (9 | 10 | 11). These are the same screens that Game Informer used in their print story - so if you were one of the thousands who checked out the photographed pages that circulated the internet last week, here's your chance to take a better look. Thanks to Kakansho for the heads-up - the thread of discussion is already quite long!

Hide, Seek, Snap - Round 5 won, Round 6 live
This batch of Hide, Seek, Snap screens must be much easier - we had four responses in a 3-hour span last night. The first successful recreation was sent in by rvbsithhead, who won another Sgt. Johnson code for Firefight. Swing by and see what you can do with the Round 6 shot!

Lots of Halo Stuff for Sale
Austin Childres is selling a very large collection of Halo schwag - go visit the auction page on eBay for a full description. Action figures, books, games... it's a lot of stuff. Starting bid is $350, and there are still four and a half days. He's trying to buy his first car! (Louis Wu 16:11:00 UTC) (permalink)
Blood Line #5 - Cover and Summary
CaptainTony pointed out that the cover for Blood Line #5 (the latest Halo comic series from Marvel) is on Marvel's website, along with a summary. Sounds pretty grim! (Louis Wu 16:10:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Clairvoyance Chapter 1
Halochief89 stopped in to say that the Halo Clairvoyance story has a new chapter up (though the artwork for it won't be coming for a bit). Go read it at DeviantART. (Louis Wu 16:10:00 UTC) (permalink)
Be a Hero - Gameplay Phase Starts Tonight!
A reminder: The 48 hour period during which your choice of emblem worn on Xbox LIVE in Halo 3 or ODST can contribute to Bungie's financial donation to the Haiti relief effort begins in just four and a half hours - be sure to visit the Be A Hero page and read the instructions for properly setting your emblem so that your gametime counts! (That was a really awkward sentence. Let's try that again. Visit the Be A Hero page to learn the exact heart-based emblem to put on your Halo 3 Spartan or ODST Marine. Then, wear it online between Wednesday just after midnight through Thursday just before midnight - both PST - and you will count towards the $100 per thousand players that Bungie will be contributing to the Haiti Relief effort. Was that better?) (Louis Wu 03:31:15 UTC) (permalink)
