Mythic Tips and Tricks Vol VI: Killing Promethean Knights
The Tyrant has released another episode of his Mythic Tips & Tricks series - this one focuses on the Promethean Knight. Some things in here might be familiar to you - but some won't be! Take a look. (Louis Wu 21:28:16 UTC) (permalink)

GDC Vault Frees Up Bungie Design Talks
The 2010 Game Developer Conference contained a talk by Jaime Griesemer in which he described why the time between shots for the Halo 3 sniper rifle was increased from 0.5 to 0.7 seconds - and right after the event, Bungie released his slides in their Publications archive. (Unfortunately, that archive seems to be offline at this point; we've put up a local copy of the file, but we can't reproduce the entire archive.) The wonderful thing is, Gamasutra has made the video of that talk free - go watch it! (They've also posted a followup, presented at GDC 2011, called 'Design in Detail: Tuning the Muzzle Velocity of the Plasma Rifle Bolt on Legendary Difficulty Across the Halo Franchise' - watch both!) Update: I completely forgot about the halo.bungie.net subdomain; kornman00 reminded me, and clarified that the Publications archive IS, in fact, still online at B.net. Yay!

Buy a Master Chief Sculpt for Christmas
Jason Evans has been casting sculpts of Master Chief for a few years now - I bought a couple from his 2011 series. This summer, he posted pics of a Halo 4 version - and he's back, with a Facebook page that you can use to buy a new version that will be shipping in time for Christmas. It's available in cold-cast nickel, cold-cast bronze, or white epoxy - you choose! Pretty awesome. (I still plan to give away at least one of the older ones.) (Louis Wu 20:18:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Escalation Details: Eps 2-3
mikimarquez returns with more info about Halo: Escalation, the Dark Horse comic series about the ongoing adventures of the UNSC Infinity. Episode 2 (search the page for 'escalation') is due out on January 8, while Episode 3 (again, search) is coming February 5. Cover art for Ep 2 and Ep 3 are both pretty impressive (unless you're tired of Sarah Palmer...). (Louis Wu 20:14:29 UTC) (permalink)
