Project: Conquest
SnowJP 360 wanted to see if he could launch himself to the top of every 'Tier 1' building in ODST (the buildings in the main gameplay area). There are 33 of these. He did this, so he decided to document it; the launches are all pretty similar, but the feat's quite cool. Check it out! Update: SnowJP 360 clarified that this was done by Anakade - my bad!

Halo CE Goodness
Dwood dropped us a line about an Ivory Tower remake for Halo CE; at the moment, it's for multiplayer, but a single player version is planned. (He's hoping for feedback to see whether the added features are worth the effort.) Check it out, and let him know! He also mentioned something pretty cool - swing by YouTube to view a Zombie Test from CtrlAltDestr0y. It's... go watch it. Update: apparently there's a link to a public alpha of the single player version of the Ivory Tower map in this thread on Halomaps. (Louis Wu 21:27:37 UTC)

Halo Theme Song
odious T (gotta love that gamertag) sent word of a video he'd found on YouTube - it's a fan playing the Halo theme. Starts slow... but MAN is it great. Take the 3 minutes and check it out; you won't be disappointed. It's incredible what 40 fingers can do! (Louis Wu 15:46:21 UTC)

DXS3 Episode 2 Part 1
CROSSFIRE is back - Dimension X Season 3, Episode 2, Part 1 is now online. (Ten minutes long, to conform with YouTube limits.) Episode 1 was mentioned back in July of last year; there have been some issues with the crew over the past couple of months, so future sections are uncertain. This is a shame, because the cinematography, voice acting, and storyline are all worth watching! (You gotta love crazy scientists.) Check it out. And let him know if you like it; maybe that'll help with the next sections!

MLG Forge Forum Map Pack 2
The MLG Halo 3 Forge Forum has put together a 12-map pack with some gorgeous work inside - swing by the MLG Forum for info and screenshots, or just visit the Forge Forum's Fileshare to download the maps. (Actually, the count is a bit suspect; the PR and the MLG Forum post both say 12 maps, but there are 18 maps marked 'MLG H3FF MP2' in the Fileshare. Either way - there's a lot of play options.) Check it out! Thanks to both urk, who posted this on Bungie.net yesterday, and Rehn Miller, who contacted us directly, for the heads-up. Update: apparently, we got our link from Bungie.net, which had it wrong; they used the link for the FIRST mappack. The correct link has been swapped in above (and right here, too). Also: "the map pack contains 12 featured 4v4 maps, with 2 more 4v4 maps being up to the judges standards of gameplay, the rest are FFA, 1v1 and 2v2." Hope that clears things up!

Tuesday Vids from Bungie.net
Some videos that showed up in Bungie's Comm Chatter today:
- Out of Work Spartan Ep 4 - this is a fun series. Spartan Z06 is doing his best to show you how to make French Toast. Nice mix of live and videogame footage.
- Capture That Flag 3D shows you a flag cap with stereographic video - cross your eyes and check it out!
- Master Chief Theater 3000 Episode 404 covers the ODST Kizingo Boulevard cutscenes. (We forgot to mention this earlier today.)
- Betrayal is a Halo 3 Dualtage from FoMan123 and Hawkeye543, and has a lot of betrayals. (You'd never have guessed from the name, would you?)
Go watch! (Louis Wu 22:21:35 UTC)

Firing Neurons, and GIFs you can't unsee
We didn't post this last night - but you should go read the Bungie Weekly Update, cause there's lots of good stuff in it. There's a recap of the Reach reveal this week (with some tantalizing comments about changes in how things work), along with a summary of the cash raised for Haiti, some information about ways you can win cool stuff for Reach by participating in the sendoff for Halo 2, a reminder of the 1 vs 100 show with Marty and Frank last night (did you watch?), and some Valentines goodies from Stosh. Check it out! As always, you can find a copy in our Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose. (Louis Wu 13:18:48 UTC)

Runnin' n' Gunnin'
Team Scoog is back with a new montage - the thing I love about these montages is the epic camera movement. in "Runnin' n' Gunnin'", Phatcorns manages to make regular gameplay look deeply important! (There's a moment when a hog flies gloriously off a Sandbox base... only to land and explode immediately; it made me laugh out loud.) Check it out - definitely worth the time.

Halo Hoodie - much cheaper
A few months ago, we mentioned a Halo hoodie from Mark Ecko - it was $88, and sported a 'Noobs Get Pnw3d' shoulder patch (with the UNSC Eagle carrying a teabag). If you sort of liked it, but couldn't stomach $88... check it out now. It's $19.99 plus shipping. (Still has the stupid shoulder patch, though.) (Louis Wu 18:20:11 UTC)

Spoiled for Choice
TeamXbox has interviewed Frank O'Connor about 343 Industries, the Halo franchise, and what has and hasn't worked in the past (and where that might lead in the future). Overall, a fascinating read - I was a little disappointed with his response to ODST (he was relieved, in a way, that it wasn't more successful than it was, because that would have made his job harder this year as Bungie ramps up to the release of Reach), but mostly he was pretty open and frank with the interviewer about some of the potential avenues for Halo development going forward. Check it out! Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 16:18:26 UTC)

Vintage Fisticuffs: The Grand Canyon
If you're over at Halo Waypoint to check out Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, Part 2 (don't miss it), there's a new feature, as well: Vintage Fisticuffs, a series of videos that will look back at some of the epic battles in Halo's campaigns. First up: The Grand Canyon, the battle on Two Betrayals leading up to the destruction of the second pulse generator. What a great idea, Waypoint! It's all nicely narrated (and played, one would assume) by fan-turned-Waypoint employee Vociferous. Check it out! Thanks, Morpheus. (Louis Wu 19:52:37 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update: The Smoking Jacket Edition
The Bungie Weekly Update went live about an hour ago - some tantalizing details about Reach's development, a followup on the Help for Haiti campaign (nice job, community!), an announcement of a way for you to get your own artwork into Reach, some obviously pressured kind words for the older contingent of the development team, and a picture that would horrify me... if I could stop laughing long enough to be horrified. Check it out! (It's in our Weekly Update Archive, as well, of course.) (Louis Wu 01:40:28 UTC)
