Art
The focus this week for Bungie's Tag and Release feature is 'Wallpaper' - it's amazing what you can do in-engine. Amazing. (Louis Wu 21:32:32 UTC) (permalink)
Put the helmet back on!
Dj Lars ran across an ad for a game night at a Swedish shop... that uses Halo in a rather odd way. (Louis Wu 21:31:03 UTC) (permalink)
Hoarders
GodlyPerfection and a friend have built a new Headhunter experience - swing by his post to watch a video of the gameplay, a description of why it's different, and a download link. Looks like a lot of fun! (Louis Wu 21:30:29 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Bloopers, Glitches, and Stunts
Pyroman stopped by with word of Halo Reach: Reach Bloopers, Glitches and Stunts - a video filled with (surprise, surprise) bloopers, glitches, and stunts. Some are pretty funny! Check it out. (Louis Wu 21:29:26 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Remakes... Probably Not
A week or so ago, a rumor surfaced that Microsoft might be looking at remaking the previous Halo games in the Reach engine - looks like that might not turn out to be true. Phil Spencer talked to IGN - he said that while he doesn't think it's a bad idea, it's not something on the front burner. (Louis Wu 20:35:50 UTC) (permalink)
WP's Halo Noble Team Contest
Adam Pavlacka sent word that WorthPlaying has a bunch of super-exclusive gear they're giving away - you can't get this stuff ANYWHERE! Swing by, check it out, join in. (Louis Wu 18:34:39 UTC) (permalink)
Video Games Live: Level 2
Video Games Live has created a trailer for their Video Games Live: Level 2 DVD - if you've never gotten a chance to see this live (or even if you have), this is full of concert footage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes goodies. Halo, of course, is well-represented. Check it out! (Louis Wu 18:30:28 UTC) (permalink)
Site Giveaway Updates
The submission period for the Headshot Heard 'Round The World contest ended on Friday - nearly 200 headshot clips were sent to us. Admins are currently going through the entries, and paring the finalists down to a far more reasonable number; when we've got this set up, we'll be asking you, the community, to vote for your favorites. Look for the voting page later this week! And the entries for the 2010 Guilt O' Lantern contest have begun to arrive en masse - we're nearing 50 entries, and there's still nearly a week to go before the deadline! Halo Waypoint tweeted about a pretty amazing pumpkin last night - I hope it gets submitted by its creator! (Louis Wu 17:17:09 UTC) (permalink)
Raise the FLAG
Congrats to the FLAG organizers - their tournament went off as planned this weekend, and more than $7500 was raised for breast and cervical cancer research. Halo gamers are awesome! (Louis Wu 17:12:23 UTC) (permalink)
European Noble Team Statues
Sean Bradley ran across a really interesting story on a spanish website - looks like Microsoft commissioned a totally different Noble Team statue from a sculpture studio in Spain. Lots of in-progress pictures at Taringa.net (Google-translated here), some on-display pics at ultimapantalla.net (Google-translated here). Apparently, these statues are on tour in Spain through October. Pretty cool! (Louis Wu 16:11:26 UTC) (permalink)
Noble Stats - Reboot
Brian Kerr wrote to ask us to let you know that NobleStats.com is back up and running again - more stats, faster processing, no downtime! Take another look. (Louis Wu 16:10:44 UTC) (permalink)

Rib It
Stunt must be all hopped up on something. Go and check out today's One One Se7en and see what I mean. (GrimBrother One 13:35:43 UTC) (permalink)
Red Dead Connection
Joshua Stone noticed a cool little Halo reference in a cutscene from Red Dead Redemption. Can you catch what it is? Go try!

Noble Indeed
Bungie just released the new Noble Map Pack trailer upon an unsuspecting world. Go and get it! Thanks to ChenK for being the first to post it on our forum.
