Run away!
The Incompetent Cartographer makes it to five installments, and looks more competent every day. Great pics, great writeup. Go read. Can't wait to build! (Louis Wu 23:59:54 UTC) (permalink)
The Fall of Reach - Out Again
According to Halo Waypoint's press release, the reissue of The Fall of Reach is in stores now. There's a bullet list of new material (don't worry, no retconning, just extra goodies like excerpts of ONI interrogations, sketches of cover art, that sort of thing) and a description of the book itself for those who missed it the first time around. Thanks, munky-058. (Louis Wu 19:29:21 UTC) (permalink)
Chad is just gonna spank us.
Bungie's Comm Chatter has an interesting mix of videos this afternoon: a collection of 'WTF' moments (mostly lag-induced) from Anoj, a heavily-edited Halo 3 montage (mostly MLG clips) called Virtue (gameplay from Vip3, editing by Snipetality), and the latest from GutterXShark - 'Forge is Crazy' is an awesome remix of the Forge World ViDoc that MUST be watched. Go watch 'em all. (Louis Wu 19:08:43 UTC) (permalink)
Wait, he... and then he... what?
Goodness. Every time I think Halo 1 tricking is tapped out... someone proves me wrong. Everyone's seen Hog launches to the top of the Towers on the level Halo (heck, those jumps inspired the creation of High Impact Halo!)... but SlYnki found a new twist. Bounce a grenade off a Hog windshield... launch a second grenade off that first grenade... launch a hog off that second grenade. WTF (thanks, NOKYARD)! (Louis Wu 17:39:27 UTC) (permalink)
Goodbye, my friend
NeoGAF's Schmitty put together a Farewell to Halo 3 (maybe a few weeks early, I dunno) - nice clips! (Louis Wu 16:50:00 UTC) (permalink)
All the time is more than half the time, right?
Red vs Blue Revelation Chapter 15 ("Check Your Local Listings") went live last night - Tex is simply not happy with what she knows. And Grif is looking to get his hands on ultimate power. Go watch! (Louis Wu 15:41:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 1v1 Tourney
Elders.TV and Average Joe's will be hosting a Halo 3 1v1 Tournament on August 7, 2010 at 4:30 MST (times can be flexible, though). Rules are here, signup is here. Prizes include a 1-Month LIVE card and 1600 MS Points. Read more in the forum post! (Louis Wu 15:39:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide Now Live
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris, the King of Mythic, is back - if you're looking for a way to have a blast in the waning weeks before Reach's release, look no further. He's just kicked off the Halo 3: ODST Mythic Difficulty Guide, and it'll help you through beating ODST's campaign on Mythic. What is Mythic? Well, it's mostly Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On - but there are a couple of additions: no deaths, and no saves. (You'd think the Iron Skull would obviate the need for these rules - but there's a glitch which allows saving with the Iron Skull active.) These runs are much shorter than the Halo 3 runs, because the ODST stages are much shorter. Tayari Plaza is the first level you encounter - and it's the first guide online. Go read, watch the vids, and then try it yourself! (Louis Wu 12:52:31 UTC) (permalink)
A Reach Beta Montage
BierWiser put together a 4 minute montage of clips from the Reach Beta - by waiting a couple of months, he's got no competition! Smart. (Louis Wu 12:41:48 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: OWaW Update
Halo: Out With a Whimper has been improving steadily - newguy2445 stopped by with word of new screenshots (and a slightly older update for folks not keeping up on the day-to-day stuff). Looking fine! (Louis Wu 12:41:18 UTC) (permalink)
Celebratin' PAX... in style
Derek 'mantis' Carroll had some very cool buttons made up for PAX - and they arrived yesterday. Nice! Thanks, Hedgemony. (Louis Wu 12:40:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo CE Updates (and some UT3 news too)
We got a bunch of Halo CE news updates yesterday - let's see... Dontu told us about a mod he's created called Halo CE Duel Edition. It focuses on melee combat, with a medieval theme (there are fireballs, as well). This thread talks about the mod on Halomaps.org, with another one at Modacity. The pack consists of Tower, Crag, Pit, Zendicon and Ruin, and there's even an instructional video showing off the Dodge feature.) Dennis Powers, who ALSO wrote to us about Duel Edition, suggested a look at a couple of other maps, in addition to DE - Ambry Ce by Newbkilla and Desert Assault by ~JEPR~. And he even pointed out an Unreal Tournament 3 mod of Halo Infinity, by Bret_Hart (video is here, and discussion thread is here). (Louis Wu 12:35:49 UTC) (permalink)
Is nothing off-limits?
Sweet mother of baby zebras. I knew Twitter was going to contribute to the downfall of modern society. (Thanks, both Hawty McBloggy and Kotaku. Geez.) (Louis Wu 12:35:02 UTC) (permalink)
