Halo 2 Memorial Montage - Your Help Needed
We got an email from 'H2 Memorial' pointing out a forum post on Bungie.net - the group Halo 3 In The Workplace (H3ITWP) is putting together a Halo 2 Memorial Montage, and they want your input. They're looking for clips, screenshots, or just farewell messages. All categories of submissions have pretty strict guidelines, so be sure to read the B.net post for full details. You've got until April 18 to submit - help them make this one great! (Louis Wu 16:28:58 UTC) (permalink)

Escapin' from the A-R-K
Steven wrote a song called 'Escapin' from the A-R-K', using the tune from Myley Cyrus' 'Party in the USA' - you can find the lyrics, along with a karaoke version of the real song, at Hawty McBloggy's (you'll have to put them together yourself). O....K. (Louis Wu 12:19:04 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Elite line drawing
Justinian stopped in with a line drawing he did of a Halo: Reach Elite. He's not completely satisfied, but it's fine work! (Louis Wu 12:18:09 UTC) (permalink)
Small H2 Vista Egg Sighting
Stephen Loftus noticed a graphic he'd not looked closely at before as he was wandering through Halo 2 Vista - and found a small tribute, maybe to the Halo 2 Vista Art and Design Lead? (Louis Wu 12:17:50 UTC) (permalink)
Building Weapons
Ajemsuhgao, over at NeoGAF, posted a render done by a friend - it's an untextured version of Reach's Assault Rifle. (You can see the final version at the modeler's portfolio page.) Bee-youtifull! Poke around for a verion of the ODST SMG, too! (Louis Wu 00:41:32 UTC) (permalink)
Project: Conquest
SnowJP 360 wanted to see if he could launch himself to the top of every 'Tier 1' building in ODST (the buildings in the main gameplay area). There are 33 of these. He did this, so he decided to document it; the launches are all pretty similar, but the feat's quite cool. Check it out! Update: SnowJP 360 clarified that this was done by Anakade - my bad!

Top 10 Most Expensive Video Game Budgets Ever
Digital Battle has posted an article called 'Top 10 Most Expensive Video Game Budgets Ever' - Halo 3 came in at #6, with a price tag of $55 million. (They didn't count the $200 million spent PROMOTING the game...) (Louis Wu 00:09:54 UTC) (permalink)
Fall of 1997 - Fall of 2010: Bungie's Halo
CVG has posted another Lehto/Jarrard interview - it's really, really hard to squeeze more info that they're willing to talk about out of those two (they've already covered pretty much everything imaginable in the other 465 interviews given at X10)... but CVG did their best. And this is only Part 1! Part 2 comes tomorrow. (Louis Wu 00:08:20 UTC) (permalink)
Double XP Weekends through mid-March
FyreWulff pointed out that Bungie's Halo 3 Matchmaking Playlists page has been updated with early March Double XP Weekends - go see what's coming up! (Louis Wu 00:07:25 UTC) (permalink)
Love knows no armor
Eddie 071 noticed a video from Adam Grumbo about a date between Master Chief and a Stormtrooper. (I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, on the 405th - but it's new to Vimeo, and the quality rocks, and it's funny, so go watch it.) (Louis Wu 00:05:57 UTC) (permalink)
Be a Hero - Soon
Bungie wanted to remind you that you've only got a few days left to buy a 'Be a Hero' t-shirt from the Bungie Store, if you want the proceeds to go towards the Haiti fund... starting in March, they're keeping the money again. (Louis Wu 00:04:45 UTC) (permalink)

Tuesday Afternoon at the Movies (on Tuesday Night)
Later than usual - sorry - but here are a couple of vids that appeared in Bungie's Comm Chatter on Tuesday:
- Animal is a Halo 3 montage from Brennanimal.
- Greenskull's Randomtage 4 is... well, Greenskull's fourth randomtage.
Always room for montages... and jello. (Louis Wu 00:02:06 UTC) (permalink)
Aftermath
urk also had word of a new wallpaper from AirForceHero - it's called 'Aftermath', and it's pretty powerful! (Louis Wu 00:01:45 UTC) (permalink)
