Recon Clarification
There's been a LOT of confusion about Recon armor, and the Mythic Map Pack, and how it all works together, ever since it was made clear yesterday that you'd be able to earn Recon armor through Achievements once Halo 3: Recon is released. We went to SketchFactor for some answers - you should go read 'em. (Louis Wu 19:38:33 UTC)

TTL: Gunnin' for Tail
XerxdeeJ stopped in with word of new content at Tied the Leader (Tuesday is Tuesday, after all, holiday or not). Check out an interesting article on the different types of warthog gunners you might encounter if you fancy yourself a wheelman. (There's also a new article on Gears of War 2 - but that might be for another fansite.) Go read! (Louis Wu 19:32:38 UTC)

Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough: The Covenant
On this quieter-than-usual Veterans Day, we'd like to offer you another chapter in the ongoing Solo Legendary All Skulls On walkthrough from Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris - this one is huge. It covers the level 'The Covenant', and the nearly 20 videos add up to almost 400 mb worth of visual aid. (Once again, these are split between two pages.) Go read... and go watch!

The Not-Friends List
Over at Hawty McBloggy's, there's a guest article looking at the political correctness of simply not liking someone. Do you have people on your Friends list that aren't really friends? Go read the article, and see what category they fall under! (Louis Wu 13:40:57 UTC)

Pete the Duck: Sharing is Caring
urk has continued the 'Average Joe' interviews over at Bungie.net - first we had Bryan the Singer, today, we have Pete the Duck. That name might be more familiar to HBO readers than B.net readers... but not after this! Go read the Q&A - he talks about what keeps him involved in the Halo community, and more. There's even some media (provided by Pete himself!) that shows off what a good sport he is. Go read! (Louis Wu 19:15:54 UTC)

Waxing Eloquent about Multiplayer
Narcogen took exception to the points made in yesterday's editorial, over at Cinema Blend, that Halo is 'killing console gaming'. When Narc takes exception to something, he often offers a rebuttal - and this time he doesn't disappoint. Swing by Rampancy.net for a well-written, 2200 word treatise on where multiplayer stands in the heirarchy of factors that determine a game's popularity. He occasionally gets off-topic (at least with respect to the original editorial), but he keeps coming back to why the problem isn't really a problem, and solutions to solve the problem if it IS a problem for you. Go read it. Comments can go straight on the blog post, or back to our forum.

A quick look at the work of Tobias Buckell
When it was announced, back in June, that Tobias Buckell was going to be writing the next Halo novel, I visited Amazon and picked up his existing work; I wanted to know what we were getting into. What with new novels from Richard Morgan, Alastair Reynolds, Jim Butcher, and others, I didn't finish the last of Buckell's novels until this month - but I've put up a short look at his work, as it might pertain to a Halo fan. Mini-version: I'm looking forward to November 25th! Go read the slightly longer version. (Louis Wu 19:21:51 UTC)

Are Critics Gamers?
There's a pretty interesting read over at
Gamasutra - Keith Boesky, a game agent and attorney, former president of Eidos, talks about the disconnect between reviewers and consumers. The interesting thing to me was his point that in most fields of entertainment, stuff with mass appeal is simplistic, while the critics love the quirky, the obscure, the deep... whereas in games it's the opposite. Halo gets a couple of mentions, though it's nowhere near the center of his article. Go read - and then stop by our forum to discuss! (Louis Wu 15:50:49 UTC)

Balls!
Been frustrated by the Alas, Poor Yorick achievement, and the scarcity of oddball games on appropriate maps? Be frustrated no more - the latest Double Experience weekend has just kicked off... and it's 3 Ball. An entire playlist devoted to gametypes involving 4 teams and 3 balls... yummy. Go read about it at B.net, or play it (until Monday morning at 2 am PST) on LIVE. (Louis Wu 18:04:18 UTC)

Congrats, Urk. (And Thanks, Marty!)
Today's iteration of the Bungie Weekly Update is actually quite full of content - there's a File Share FAQ (one that should have been posted a week ago) - with even more info from Stosh, a cool trick for viewing screenshots (seems to be broken on Macs), more info about Bungie Cards, tips for maximizing your Bungie.net enjoyment, info about the Art of Halo book, the welcoming of a new Bungie employee, recruited directly from the community, and a bunch of fan questions (and Bungie answers). And the track from the Halo 3: Recon trailer, courtesy of Marty. (You rock, Marty.) And a scary, scary picture that should probably never have seen the light of day. Go read! (And listen.) You can, as always, read this in our Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 02:19:39 UTC)

Why do games have to kick each other's butts?
GameDaily has an article entitled 'Why Gears of War 2 Kicks Halo 3's Butt' - but anyone who calls Marty's Halo music 'wimpy piano nonsense' can't really be taken seriously. Go read the other 7 reasons; they're equally silly. (Marcus Fenix is deeper than Master Chief? C'mon...) (Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC)

Flag Planted.
Hawty McBloggy couldn't let a story with a focus on sex and Halo simply fade... Last week, we mentioned a Dutch study which suggested that men who were quick on the trigger in video games might be... quick on the trigger in other areas. Hawty has taken it upon herself to help those guys out. Go read.
