The World is Your Oyster
Not to be overlooked in all the news today is a brand new community site based on the Calamity Clam and Beach map variants. From the Community Custom cohorts comes Calamity Clams, the next evolution in Halo custom carnage. Get out of your shell and check it out! (GrimBrother One 21:40:06 UTC) (permalink)
Yes, it's true. Bungie loves you.
I definitely have to question Sawnose's timing... but I tip my hat to his attitude. Over on Bungie.net, he posted a tutorial showing how you can keep your Reach player model updated on Bungie.net, even though Bungie no longer has access to any of the back-end data. They've put in a tool that will allow you to MANUALLY update to your current model - now THAT'S fan love! (The Bungie.net version is higher-res than the 343 version, and has your Spartan holding a DMR instead of an AR. In addition, the B.net model has the potential to be downloaded as a rotating video, though I haven't been able to test that yet, since it requires seeing the updated avatar first, and I'm still waiting - on both B.net and Waypoint.) Go read his post for full details! Thanks to bobs99 over at NeoGAF for noticing. (Tom Van Sinden 16:58:23 UTC) (permalink)
Keep it alive!
uberfoop played some Halo 3 yesterday. He made a 4-minute clip from a Social Big Team CTF game on Standoff. For nearly 3 minutes, the flag (and the action) remains in a 20-foot radius... and yet the entire clip is eminently watchable. Makes me want to jump back into Halo 3!

MLG Anaheim 2011 - WB Finals
If you enjoy watching pro Halo events, but don't have the money for MLG VoD, swing by Halo Waypoint this morning - the Winners Bracket Finals from MLG Anaheim last year are now available (all three games). Watch Status Quo take on Instinct! (This championship matchup was revisited in Columbus last week, with somewhat different results.) (Tom Van Sinden 15:58:25 UTC) (permalink)
End of another era
Forward Unto Dawn, a stalwart member of the Halo fan community and supplier of some great fan content, has shifted directions; they've kept their acronym (FUD), but the focus is quite different. Go see. (Tom Van Sinden 15:48:15 UTC) (permalink)
