New Playlists Up
In case you missed it, the Noble Map Pack is out - and there are two new playlists to fill your need for carnage. DLC has games specifically on the three new maps - a mix of objective and slayer types. And Grab Bag has Firefight VS. (Finally!) Go play! (The new maps will also show up in the regular lists - but if you want to be GUARANTEED time on them, use the DLC list.) (Louis Wu 21:10:18 UTC) (permalink)

Devin-Sent - Noble Version
Devin Olsen found himself in possession of 7 (count 'em, 7) Noble Map Pack codes - if you swing by the Devin-Sent page, you can put your name in the hat to win one! (Please - if you already have the maps, do NOT enter. If you have a friend who needs them, get them to enter for themselves.) Hurry - the window is just 8 hours long; this contest ends at 7pm PST, and codes will be distributed soon after. (Louis Wu 19:05:09 UTC) (permalink)

(Warning: if your stats are like mine, prepare to see a lot of orange and red.) (Louis Wu 15:29:43 UTC) (permalink)
Remaking Halo?
Moorpheusl9 noticed a small tidbit at CVG - according to the UK Magazine Games Master, 343 Industries is working on a remake of the first Halo game, to be released next year. Certainly something folks have been asking for! Update: not really news, but a "Microsoft spokesperson" told Eurogamer that they "have nothing to announce at this time" with regard to this rumor. (Thanks, ElzarTheBam.) Posted so that anyone looking for info on this can find all the links in one place. (Louis Wu 13:34:44 UTC) (permalink)

Waypoint's Mr Vociferous did his own flythrough of the three new maps - check out Anchor 9, Breakpoint, and Tempest. These maps are BEAUTIFUL! (Louis Wu 13:33:28 UTC) (permalink)
Tempest Tour
GhaleonEB ran through Tempest last night, for folks who haven't had a chance to download the maps yet - check it out! No voiceover, of course (it's Bungie Pro video), but you can get a decent sense of the layout, and some of critical features.
