Amazing Faceplate Collection For Sale
Whoa - if you're in the market for a killer faceplate collection for your Xbox 360 (non-Slim), swing by eBay in the next day or so. spaceghost2k is selling off 7 Halo faceplates as a batch (including one signed by Bungie, and some other really rare ones) - current bid is $99. Thanks to Laird for the heads-up on this one. (Louis Wu 20:10:34 UTC) (permalink)
Waypoint Wowzers
bs angel sent word of a couple of worthy bits over at Halo Waypoint's website (now Silverlight-free!). Anoj's Top 10 Reach Kills series is up to Episode 16 - Amazing Kills shows off some jawdropping carnage... and Master Chief Stained Glass is a really cool example of what you can do when you mix Halo love with glassworking skills. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 19:18:39 UTC) (permalink)
Precious Times
It wouldn't be Comm Chatter without a montage, now would it? Today's roundup includes Precious Times, a nicely timed piece from Just Mad. Go watch. (Louis Wu 19:01:13 UTC) (permalink)

Custom Elite Officer
More custom work from Kaidon - this time, it's an Elite officer. (It's just a repaint, not a full sculpt - but it's still pretty cool!) (Louis Wu 18:47:46 UTC) (permalink)

Mythic Difficulty Guide - Lone Wolf
The final chapter of Tyrant's Mythic Difficulty Guide for Halo: Reach is now online - and it's definitely worth your time. Lone Wolf is a pretty special level, for a lot of reasons - and Tyrant's treatment honors the spirit quite nicely. To Tyrant, I say - well done, sir. (Louis Wu 16:08:56 UTC) (permalink)
Diamond Eyes
AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo HMV - this one is set to Shinedown's Diamond Eyes. As always, timing and clip choices rock. (Louis Wu 15:59:29 UTC) (permalink)
Experimenting with the Halo Universe
Frank O'Connor told CVG that 343i's not working on a sequel to Halo Wars right now, but if they were, it could work with Kinect. Interesting! (This showed up in my Google feed, but thanks to ElzarTheBam for starting a thread on our forum.) (Louis Wu 15:56:38 UTC) (permalink)
Super Space Gordon and the Robot Ninjas
Pierre Tartaix sent word of Super Space Gordon and the Robot-Ninjas, a pretty awesome Halo 3-based machinima created by TGO GMBH. Fantastic combination of in-game footage and special effects... and an entertaining story, to boot. This was created for a contest on Virtualflicks.net... good luck to the crew!

New avatar goodies coming with Defiant
onebitrocket noticed an article at OXM UK showing off screens of new avatar accessories coming with the Defiant Map Pack - a Pelican and a Scarab - along with one new T-shirt, in both male and female flavors. More stuff to spend your points on!
Update: sorry, that's not a Pelican, it's a jetpack. Thanks, Harmanimus (and others). (Louis Wu 12:28:49 UTC) (permalink)

Only one of us is wearing bulletproof armor...
TCKaos pointed out Part 4 of Modern Warfare 2 meets Metal Gear Solid, a pretty well-done live-action film that's relevant here because of the presence of Master Chief. Nice coreography!

Reach on Games on Demand?
Duncan noticed that Halo: Reach is on Major Nelson's list of games coming to Games on Demand - on March 15. Seems a little early in its life cycle?

Massively Multiplayer, Not So Massively Surprising
IGN posted a news item a bit over an hour ago from the GDC stating that Bungie's next game will indeed be a Massively Multiplayer venture. Injunfett also started a thread on our forums about the news, drop by and offer your opinions. We know you have them. Interesting times are afoot for Bungie fans, for certain!
