Tom Cruise would approve
All the Right Moves is a cool new article on Bungie.net - Troy McFarland, Bungie's Mocap Specialist, talks about his job (and how his work will make your Reach experience oh so much better). Go read! (Don't mind urk's obsession with spandex.) (Louis Wu 23:43:33 UTC) (permalink)
Mass Murder, by Species
Back in September, Open Season challenged Halo players to kill 7 billion grunts by Bungie Day, 2010. Apparently, we beat that date by 5 months. New challenge? 7 billion brutes by Reach release. More details at B.net. (Louis Wu 23:41:23 UTC) (permalink)
Thursday Video Cornucopia
Spent the day away from the computer - came back to a plethora of movie offerings at B.net:
- Anoj is back with Top 10 Halo 3 Guardian Kills: Ep 48. (Link in B.net post goes to Honorable Mentions - the actual Top 10 is here.)
- Sandstorm 2 is a montage from Sandman - heavy on the editing.
- Just the Two of Us is a dualtage from iEli X and Zero - mellow.
- Indiana Pwns is a funny parody trailer from ChrisOfTheDead - nice work.
- Bearin Yooden is the newest creation from Phatcorns - combines the awesome camerawork of Team Scoog with the awesome camerawork of Quentin Tarantino. Don't miss it.

I think I'm that stuff that HITS fans...
Jimmy Jangles wants to know - are you a Halo fan or a Halo Fan? (Yes, it's a subtle distinction, at least written down... but there's an ocean of perception between the groups, in reality.) Check out his examples, and figure out which one you are! (Louis Wu 13:06:43 UTC) (permalink)
Alpha RC1 - a reality!
minasodaboy, at NeoGAF, was the first (I saw) to notice that the Halo: Reach Dev Blog was updated a few hours ago - looks like the first Alpha release candidate is finished! Go read about what that means... and get excited! (Louis Wu 12:59:54 UTC) (permalink)
The Cutest Master Chief... EVAR
Hawty McBloggy has a pic of... well, you gotta go look. (Louis Wu 12:59:22 UTC) (permalink)
Legends Reviews Continue
A couple of new Halo Legends reviews - IGN seemed to like it a lot (thanks, Minime637), while Kotaku wasn't so sure (thanks, Avateur). Go make up your own mind!

MLG Forge Forum Map Pack 2
The MLG Halo 3 Forge Forum has put together a 12-map pack with some gorgeous work inside - swing by the MLG Forum for info and screenshots, or just visit the Forge Forum's Fileshare to download the maps. (Actually, the count is a bit suspect; the PR and the MLG Forum post both say 12 maps, but there are 18 maps marked 'MLG H3FF MP2' in the Fileshare. Either way - there's a lot of play options.) Check it out! Thanks to both urk, who posted this on Bungie.net yesterday, and Rehn Miller, who contacted us directly, for the heads-up. Update: apparently, we got our link from Bungie.net, which had it wrong; they used the link for the FIRST mappack. The correct link has been swapped in above (and right here, too). Also: "the map pack contains 12 featured 4v4 maps, with 2 more 4v4 maps being up to the judges standards of gameplay, the rest are FFA, 1v1 and 2v2." Hope that clears things up!

Yet another music video from AssaultGodzilla - this one pays tribute to Halo Legends. As always, great timing! (Louis Wu 12:57:25 UTC) (permalink)
Community Spotlight: Mythic Photographers
There's a new Community Spotlight up at Bungie.net - in the spotlight this go-round are the Mythic Photographers. As you might guess, they're big on screenshots. Read about what drives 'em on B.net's front page, and then check out some of their favorite files in the Bungie Favorites section!
