Halotracker 2v2 Finals Gameplay
Edge let us know that the Halotracker 2v2 Tournament Finals took place recently (I'm not sure when, there's no information on the videos, and no easily-found info on their website) - and all five games are online. If this means anything to you... go watch! (Louis Wu 17:49:40 UTC) (permalink)
I weep for gaming journalism
There are websites out there that really, really shouldn't be writing reviews of upcoming products. A hands-on preview of Halo: Anniversary went live on Beefjack this morning that seems to have been written under the mistaken impression that there's a multiplayer component that is separate from the Reach maps being released with the game - that "it's the original Halo with online support and a new engine, marged onto the Reach servers." Huhwha? (This thread at N4G has a response from Giddens, the author of the piece, which contains the comment "There is a multiplayer component to Halo Anniversary beyond the Reach multiplayer. I know, I played it.") Thanks to NeoGAF's wwm0nkey for noticing this - and to anyone actually READING it, please don't believe that there is ANY multiplayer in Anniversary beyond the Reach-based maps. Because there isn't.

Halo: Last Stand Trailer
The Duo Group released a trailer for a vid they're not planning to make - sadly. (In their words, "this is just a taste of what could be.") Really nice work, regardless! Thanks, Sqorck. (Louis Wu 17:32:10 UTC) (permalink)

This Week's Halo Bulletin Kicks Some Serious Glass
A pleasantly surprising early edition of this week's Halo Bulletin has just hit, and has something awesome in store for Halo fiction fans... the second chapter of Halo: Glasslands, the upcoming novel by Karen Traviss. Also, thanks to Hypertrooper for pointing out that you can also read the Prologue & Chapter One of Glasslands at Tor's website. What are you waiting for? Go and give it a read or two! [As usual, it's in our Halo Bulletin Archive, even if Grim hates me so much he never mentions it. -lwu] (GrimBrother One 16:31:44 UTC) (permalink)
