The Future of Halo
Kyle B sent us to Grunts R Us for an article on The Future of Halo - it looks at where Halo has come from, and extrapolates out to where it's going. Go read it and see if you agree! (Louis Wu 18:15:33 UTC) (permalink)
Spawn till you die.
The march for the stars continues at B.net - Week 11's contest was announced this morning. Create a cool pic using only spawn points... and you're eligible for the coveted Star nameplate by the time this week's out. (Louis Wu 17:21:02 UTC) (permalink)
GPT disses ODST
Wow. GamePlayToday put together a list of 360 Exclusives they wish had never been made... and put Halo 3: ODST on it. I'm sad now. (Their explanation is some pretty ridiculous internet rumormill grist.) (Louis Wu 17:18:49 UTC) (permalink)
Map Spotlight Week 16: Precipice
Raaascal is back with another Map Spotlight - this one is Precipice, from Draw the Line. Go read how it came to be, then grab a copy! (Louis Wu 17:16:38 UTC) (permalink)
Teabag Prevention Presents: Condemned
jake_108 has abandoned us for bigger ponds - I have to read about the latest Teabag Prevention article on Bungie.net. Oh, how the middling have fallen! (You should go read it anyway - it will help you get the most out of Condemned, one of the new Defiant maps. It covers weapon spawns (at least for the default gametypes), healthpacks (MAN I could have used this last night), and gameplay tips to keep you alive. Go check it out!)

TRR: Grifball Feva!
According to Bungie.net, The next episode of the Running Riot Podcast will be broadcast LIVE this Wednesday night (March 23) at 9:30 pm Eastern. GrifballHub's GooseChecka will be the special guest... go get your fill of Grifball talk! (Don't forget to ask her about her Crankin' skillz.) (Louis Wu 16:35:32 UTC) (permalink)
TotS - Done Quick
You may already have noticed that the Weekly Challenge this week is Tip of the Spear, with most skulls on - as always, Tyrant's got you covered with his Mythic Guide... but if what you're looking for fast over safe, RC Master's your guy. He's got a sub-13-minute run for you (plus a writeup for details that work better via text). You won't be able to run it quite as fast as he does (the running-on-beams section, for example, will cause you a lot of frustration unless you've already practiced his technique) but the tricks he shows you can definitely speed you up.

Forge Lesson 45: Pacing
GodlyPerfection picks up his Forge Lessons series with #45 - Pacing. Read this for tips on how timing and speed affect your map's functionality! (Louis Wu 15:04:00 UTC) (permalink)
TSD Sunday Night Fights Vol 1: Double Troubles
Last night, Team Schooly D held the first iteration of Sunday Night Fights (promotional poster visible here) - Foregunners took on Team NartFOpc in an epic best-of-5 competition. If you missed it live, Schooly D announced that the stream replay is available for viewing now. If you just want to watch the action, start about 10 minutes in. Definitely entertaining commentary!
