Gate Race
Nosolee noticed a new vid at IGN.com - 'Gate Race' shows off a minute-long Mongoose run through a race gametype. My GOODNESS that looks great going through water... (Louis Wu 22:36:08 UTC) (permalink)
Incompetent Cartographer
Wes pointed out a new feature at Bungie.net - urk grabbed the reins of Forge 2.0, and documented how ridiculously simple it looks to build a new map. Imagine those tools in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing... (Louis Wu 22:34:55 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Universe Panel at SDCC
Halo Waypoint has put up a recording from the SDCC Halo Universe panel, in six parts (one | two | three | four | five | six). Part one is the recap of the Halo franchise up to this point - the rest is the panel itself. Interesting conversation with Frank O'Connor, Greg Bear, Eric Raab, Karen Traviss, Peter David, and Kevin Grace! (Louis Wu 19:18:04 UTC) (permalink)
Ouch! Trailer
Slushy sent word of a trailer for 'Ouch!' - a funtage coming from a group of Argentinian Halo players. Take a look! (Louis Wu 19:03:37 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Announcement in London Thursday?
Hrm... looks like there'll be some sort of invite-only event this coming Thursday in London - and some Reach information will be unveiled there. Thanks to ElzarTheBam, for noticing the mention on CVG. (Louis Wu 17:30:12 UTC) (permalink)
ComicCon Pics (including Halo stuff)
Darknesshasfallen took a bunch of pics at ComicCon - some of them have Halo content. If you've got a Facebook account, you can browse the collection there; if you don't, he's put it up on MySpace, as well. (Louis Wu 17:11:58 UTC) (permalink)
Just Another Tuesday Montage...
Hmm, that title doesn't work so well on days other than Monday. In any case, it's video time at Bungie.net again!
- Pure is a Halo Fan Art montage - boatloads of very cool artwork I've never seen before. I wish I knew where to find the originals!
- Anoj released a new 'Bungie Explains' - he summarizes the SDCC releases (Forge World, console, and last week's ridiculously long Update). If you can't read, and have a really short attention span, this is for you!
- Zoxin It Up! LIVE is now no longer live - it's pre-recorded. The July episode includes an interview with CMNeir, along with a bunch of other stuff. There's no easy way to link to all the parts (there are five segments, separated a couple of times by 'commercial breaks') - you need to click through from piece to piece as you go. Total length seems to be about 40 minutes.
- Unidentified Failing Object 4 is a funtage - or so it says. Looks like a bunch of totally random clips to me. (Also has some of the most annoying music ever included in a Halo vid.)
There should be SOMETHING in there for you... (Louis Wu 17:07:12 UTC) (permalink)
He's always close by.
Red vs Blue Revelation Chapter 14 ("Reconfiguration") went live last night - again, there are two versions, one for the public, one for sponsors. (The two unique scenes in the sponsor video are not necessary for the overall storyline, and would have been cut - they've run out of room on the DVD - but were left in as a sponsor bonus.) Tex listens more, punches less. (I GUESS this is a good thing...) (Louis Wu 14:31:32 UTC) (permalink)
Mmm... cake.
Hawty McBloggy found a pretty cool little Halo 2-inspired grenade cake at jimmy cakes... looks delicious! (Louis Wu 14:25:49 UTC) (permalink)
Update on Reach/Halo PC link
JAY132 revisited the idea of a Reach unlock based on your Halo PC CD Key (this was first floated during the Bungie Day 2009 Podcast; Roger 'Sawnose' Wolfson hinted that folks who have access to their 25-character Halo PC CD Key from back in the day would get a little bonus in Reach) - Sawnose stepped in to clarify. The upshot for users: if you HAVE a Halo PC code (and Sawnose suggests that it NOT be a keygen-created code or a newly-bought code; they're going to be validating codes against a list that had been seen by the authentication server as of earlier this year), check back a couple of weeks before Reach ships, and you'll be told what to do with your code. Hey You started a thread on our forum - there's some info in there for folks who have questions. (Louis Wu 14:23:25 UTC) (permalink)
MC Sketch
Leviathan noticed a new bit of Halo artwork from Leinil Yu. Last we heard from him was back in 2007...

More Firefight vids
More goodies from Halo Waypoint - there are a pair of HD Firefight Versus films on their YouTube channel. Go check out Courtyard and Overlook! (The Overlook video has several examples of a the Hologram Armor Ability used successfully - looks pretty cool!) (Louis Wu 14:21:58 UTC) (permalink)
