Drowning in Fun
urk has posted Incompetent Cartographer 2, the second installment of his "look what I can do with Forge 2.0!" project. Lots of cool pics, and gorgeous building blocks... but I gotta say, if I find myself falling into deep water because the walkway I'm supposed to use is too hard to see because it's submerged, I'm gonna hurt that boy...

One Ring to Rule them All
You might have noticed a small logo at the bottom of our navbar - HaloRing is a new webring of some of the largest and most active Halo websites online. The pretty flash design was put together by Firestream, the man behind sites like HaloCharts, Halo Challenges, and HaloSphere. It's a one-stop window into the best Halo goodness online! Check it out.

Pinnacle Fly-Through
Want a better look at Pinnacle (the remake of Ascension on Forge World)? IGN has a short (50 second) fly-around of the map, in Forge mode. Looks like it adheres pretty closely to the original! Thanks, Gravemind. (Louis Wu 20:59:59 UTC) (permalink)
LEGO Sabre
Over on Forward Unto Dawn's forum, Stalid Autumn posted pics of his LEGO Sabre from Reach... there are even takeoff effects! Go see. Thanks, Dani. (Louis Wu 20:44:59 UTC) (permalink)
RIP Choppy
In case anyone was still unsure about whether or not the Chopper would grace Reach's sandbox... urk says "The Chopper is gone". Oh, Choppy, how we'll miss you... (Louis Wu 20:41:44 UTC) (permalink)
Rampant
urk highlighted a Goosetage today on Bungie.net - 7 minutes of splatters, flips, and brokeback shooting. Makes me wanna get on a goose! (Louis Wu 17:07:08 UTC) (permalink)
What's New in Reach, Summarized
Brian Jarrard gave an interview to the GameTrailers folks - it's mostly a summary of known info, but it's a NICE summary. Worth listening to, if only to hear the entire schpiel in 3 minutes! Thanks to NeoGAF's Hypertrooper for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:54:07 UTC) (permalink)
Vidmaster Classic - in 2:31
FunkyFunkyFunky set a Guinness World Record for the fastest running of the Vidmaster Classic in Halo 3: ODST - what's funny is that the run on Bungie.net's front page has been beaten by two seconds (again by FunkyFunkyFunky, a couple of days ago), but the video's not rendered yet. 2:31 to finish Uplift Reserve on Legendary... wow. Update: Rendered now. (Louis Wu 16:36:06 UTC) (permalink)
Hemorrhage gameplay
A new voltron64x-uploaded gameplay vid from SDCC is online (thanks, Voltron64 - and hotshot revan for bringing it to our forum). It shows off gameplay on Hemorrhage (the Blood Gulch remake). It's definitely shakeycam footage... but man, I can't wait. (That Revenant looks MEAN.) Some extra impressions from Voltron64 are here. (Louis Wu 12:59:17 UTC) (permalink)
PC Key Flair, Clarified
Hey You pointed out that Sawnose clarified some of the confusion surrounding the Halo PC CD Key info posted yesterday:
- If you entered the multiplayer game lobby between 2003 and May 2010, your key works.
- If you used Halo 1 for Mac, you're included.
- If you own Halo 2 for PC, this is NOT included.
- Halo 1 for Xbox is NOT included.
- If you never played multiplayer or if you've lost your key, you're out of luck.
- What you'll get is a bit of visual flair - no flames, no armor, nothing you can buy. Just something to indicate you've been part of a particular community.
Seems pretty straightforward - thanks, Sawnose! (Louis Wu 12:58:21 UTC) (permalink)
Rooster Teeth Q and A from SDCC
Halo Waypoint has posted the Q&A session done by the Rooster Teeth panel at San Diego Comic Con, in a couple of parts (part one | part two). (The rest of the RT presentation was video that is going to wait for a proper showing on RedvsBlue.com.) Some really interesting info! Thanks, darthbob. (Louis Wu 12:57:37 UTC) (permalink)
Brotherhood
TDSpiral stopped in with word of a new piece of fan art - he calls it 'Brotherhood'; it's got a great vibe! Go see. (Louis Wu 12:55:49 UTC) (permalink)
Across This New Divide
New video from AssaultGodzilla - 'Across This New Divide' contains amazing choices of appropriate footage to match the lyrics. I don't think, if you'd asked beforehand, that I'd have believed that you could tie together such disparate video sources into such a cohesive whole. Go watch. (Louis Wu 12:54:22 UTC) (permalink)
Elite Unleashed
The latest Chronicles of ODS Steve went live this morning at Hawty McBloggy's - Elite Unleashed lets me know that I have absolutely NO idea what's going on in this strip any more. (Hey, while you're over there... she's got winners up for the T-shirt giveaway she kicked off last week; go see what people do do photos of Hawty and an ODST!)
