The Return of an Old Friend
Not sure how many of you remember Mike Hill; he created some truly spectacular Halo artwork in 2005 and 2006. We haven't heard from him in a while - but today, he found a piece he'd whipped up last year, just an idea for MJOLNIR armor development. It's a tad tall for wallpaper, but it's GORGEOUS. Take a look.

TLG Presents: The SchwartZ Launch
Just in case your Reach jonesin' is exceeding comfort limits, Ducain has news of a Halo 1 trick recently developed by Lone Starr, with some help from his friends. Go check out a truly unique Banshee launch! Quality rocks, the tutorial lets anyone who wants to try it for themselves be successful, and the trick itself... is pretty amazing. Go watch.

And not just because he said I was spot on.
Urban Reflex wrote up some concise opinions of both Legends and Halo Evolutions; worth a read! (Louis Wu 22:53:04 UTC) (permalink)

MLG FFA - Go MatchMake.
New playlist going live today - MLG FFA. (Heck, it's probably live by now; the B.net newspost is 4 hours old.) Go read all the details... (Louis Wu 22:41:33 UTC) (permalink)
I guess he's clearing out the queue.
Serious video droppage on Bungie's Comm Chatter today:
- The Trailer Park: Bob of the Dead warns you about Matchmaking dangers.
- ChrisOfTheDead's Shenanigans 6 is just that - shenanigans.
- Lucid is a Halo 3 montage from KayEmX, FKIV, and Stevis.
- The West Virginia Community Montage is exactly that - a montage from West Virginia players. (Really rapid cuts.)
- WatchThis!Gaming has posted their 8th Halo 3, Top 5 Plays video. I liked the invisible ninja guy.
- IGN's Top 10 Halo 3 Kills for February 24th (how'd we miss this?) has some really fun kills.
Is that enough for you? (Louis Wu 22:39:39 UTC) (permalink)
Playtest Going Well. MP Content Inbound.
nobleactual.com, Bungie's Dev Blog, has been updated again - the lack of timestamps is frustrating, but the content is pretty intriguing. Progress on the playtest is really positive - this is awesome! And a multiplayer "bomb" (Marcus' word) will be dropped either today or tomorrow - so keep your eyes peeled. (There's a thread started on our forum - thanks, Ragashingo - if you're interested in speculating...) Update: many people let us know that the Dev Blog RSS feed has timestamps. DOH!

Impressions from Down Under
Blue Dingo let us know about an article on the Australian Halo Reach fansite in which various community leaders from down under offer up their opinions of Reach, so far. What they're excited about, what they hope to see, what they hope they don't see. Interesting read - go take a look!

Giving up on Hide Seek Snap
Well, it's been more than a week since anyone even TRIED to locate one of the final three screens for the Hide, Seek, Snap contest - I think it's time to retire this one. We do still have a few codes - I'm out all day today, but I'll give them away on our forum later this afternoon or this evening, if there are still people who need one. It was a good run, and I'd like to thank AfroRyan for his generosity in supplying so many of these codes. Congrats to all the participants! (Louis Wu 12:41:45 UTC) (permalink)
Mapping the Territory
IGN Australia interviewed Frank O'Connor yesterday - give it a read for a look at the future of the Halo franchise. Thanks, Tashi0106.

HAFT Legends
Gah - I read it, but completely forgot to post about it! Halo Action Figure Theater hit 200 issues on Sunday - swing by for a truly odd... vision. (Louis Wu 12:38:16 UTC) (permalink)
I need a beer.
Apparently, Fred Van Lente (the writer behind the Blood Line comics) went out drinking with 'Team Halo' last night. Bungie? 343i? Master Chief and Cortana? Thanks, Hedgemony. (Louis Wu 12:37:52 UTC) (permalink)
