This is becoming a yearly thing.
So in August 2009, rumors circulated that Steven Spielberg was interested in making a Halo movie. Nothing ever came of them. A year later, though, in October 2010, they resurfaced. Still nothing. Today, Halo.Fr posted some scans (thanks, Sirkan) of the material that came inside the French press kit for Halo: Cryptum - and right there, in black and white (and French), is a paragraph that translates to
A film adaptation is set in 2012. It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks.
343 has been contacted for comment, but we've heard nothing so far. Seems like it might be a misunderstanding... or maybe just a well-kept secret, broken by the French. (Louis Wu 22:01:38 UTC) (permalink)

Tyrant's LASO Challenge Walkthrough - Nightfall
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris continues his LASO Challenge Walkthrough - the second chapter skips over ONI Sword Base (for his own sanity - don't worry, he'll come back to it) and moves on to the much easier Nightfall. Take a look! (Louis Wu 14:38:19 UTC) (permalink)

Shaping the Future
343 is hiring a User Interface Designer - do you want to influence how Halo games are perceived, going forward? Apply! (Thanks to PsychoRaven, who pointed this out at NeoGAF - and thanks also to Hypertrooper, who noticed this video - probably fan-made - showing off what a new UI COULD look like.)

Can We Get a 'Grunts Must Die!' DLC?
Sometimes we like to highlight a project in the game industry that might not have to do with Halo itself, but that comes from developers and professionals close to the Halo family. In that spirit, make sure you check out Orcs Must Die! from our friends at Robot Entertainment. Robot (formally Ensemble Studios) has a firm place in the Halo family with Halo Wars, and their Community Manager Justin Korthof was also a Community Manager with 343 Industries; you may know him better as SixOkay. The game is a ton of fun, and launches today for 1200msp. We're really proud of everyone involved, congrats guys! (GrimBrother One 14:04:30 UTC) (permalink)
