Halo: Contact Harvest
Bungie.net has an interview with Joe Staten, the author of the next Halo novel, 'Contact Harvest', coming this fall. It's the story of the first contact with the Covenant - told from the point of view of many, but primarily "a young UNSC Staff Sergeant named Avery Johnson." There's lots more - go read! Thanks, Stuntmutt. (Louis Wu 19:30:54 UTC)

All Tied Up
XerxdeeJ pointed out that new Tied the Leader content is now up - a ginormous 22 Questions interview with Epileptic Gaming (it's really 3 interviews in one, so bring a big mug of coffee), and a discussion of spoilers, and why you should avoid them. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:12:02 UTC)

Should Microsoft Acquire MLG?
Over at Nation of Gamers, there's an article suggesting that it would make good business sense for Microsoft to purchase MLG. (Personally, I think that not only is this not true, but I doubt EITHER party would be interested in the attempt... but that's just a personal opinion. Go read the article for another one.)

Jolly Green Giants with Guns
Another Tuesday, another Tied the Leader update. Dweezle hits on another gamer chick - this time it's Becky 'Aktrez' Young, part of far too many websites to list here - and XerxdeeJ waxes poetic about Halo - again. (Great graphic, too.) Go read! (Louis Wu 16:17:17 UTC)

Oh yeah, he totally went there.
The Weekly Update is up (and has been for a few hours now) over at Bungie.net. Lots of info on the upcoming beta, control schemes, a bunch of rumors busted, a bit of teaser info on a new map, and an absolutely stirring Mister Chief. Oh, and some art. Go read! MasterChief2829 was first on the forum with the heads-up. (mnemesis 07:44:14 UTC)

Wow, really? 400?
The Bungie Weekly Update is up, as you may have already noticed (JawReich and calmkiller sure did) - it's short, but it's pretty informative. For the folks having trouble downloading the new maps - you should be able to get 'em by Monday, it looks like. And there's some decent info about the upcoming beta. Go read! (Of course, it's here, too, in our Weekly Update Archive.) (Louis Wu 02:00:30 UTC)

H2Vista at Kotaku
Kotaku posted a (sort-of) review of Halo 2 Vista - except for the nausea, I think he enjoyed it. Go read. Update: And another review at AppScout - I guess today is the day for reviews. (Louis Wu 13:52:35 UTC)

TTL Tuesday
There was no Tied the Leader update last week, because the TTL crew was overloaded... which means there's extra stuff now. In order: a 22 Questions interview with 8Bit Hero's Kerri Sharp, a look at Halo as an overarching connector, a 22 Questions interview with blogger Colette Bennett, a tribute to Kurt Vonnegut (not Halo-related, but absolutely worth reading), a Community Profile of VideoGameNews.com, and a challenge to the Halo community at large to meet the Gunslingers on the new maps, for death and destruction. Go read! (Thanks, XerxdeeJ.)

Updatedness
The Bungie Weekly Update discusses the two big Halo newsbits this week - the Vidoc, and the Matchmaking changes that will occur as soon as Tombstone and Desolation are available next week. Good stuff, all the way through. Go read! (As usual, you can read it at Bungie.net, or in our Weekly Update Archive.) (Louis Wu 00:59:02 UTC)

May 16 - B-Day.
Over at Bungie.net, a new top story has gone up - and it's a doozy. The Halo 3 Beta finally has fixed dates: May 16 through June 6. (If you don't have a calendar handy, that's three weeks, Wednesday through Wednesday.) To give you a tiny taste of what's in store (tiny as a percentage of what's coming, not tiny at all in real terms), there's a new Video documentary - this Vidoc focuses on multiplay, and is CHOCK-FULL of tasty tidbits (including that elusive X Button functionality). You can grab it from Bungie's site in smallish form (320x180 or 640x360), or you can download it for free from Marketplace in glorious 720p hi-res goodness. Go read, go download, and get ready for May 16! Update: GhaleonEB noticed that Frankie put up a post in the NeoGAF forums - it's worth reading, if you're worried that the graphics in the Vidoc look weaker than you'd expected, or that there aren't any water effects, or that the frame rate seems shaky... Keep your shirts on, folks. While what you can see in the Vidoc is pretty darned cool in its potential, it does NOT show the state of Halo 3 as it exists today (and by May 16, it will be even MORE polished).

Eric Clapton in Spartan Armor
KP might have discovered the next big thing in Halo play - or maybe not. Either way, his narrative is hilarious. Go read. UPDATE: Bothari has uploaded pictures and a short, low-quality movie of the epic event. These have been amended to the bottom of the post. (Louis Wu 12:47:19 UTC)

A plutonium/nitro-filled Faberge Egg
The Bungie Weekly Update is now available at Bungie.net - a nice look at the Halo 3 fusion core, some critical information about Halo 2 Matchmaking (be sure you read this before next week!), and some tidbits we've come to expect about the Halo 3 dev process. Go read! (As usual, it's also available in our Weekly Update Archive.) (Louis Wu 03:38:03 UTC)

Tray and Play
PsychoRaven noticed a new Hired Gun blog - it's a look at the 'Tray and Play' feature of Halo 2 Vista; the ability to play during install. HBO's take? It's an interesting feature - and really cool for getting you RIGHT INTO THE GAME as soon as you take the disc out of the box - but after that first day, it's sort of irrelevant, right? Since there's no real downside, though, it's definitely a nice little feature. (Moreso for the developers, as shown by the initial story; for most of us, once the game is installed, we're done installing it.) Go read! (Louis Wu 20:50:41 UTC)

And I run, I run so far away...
Bungie Weekly Update is up (Trindacut, in IRC, beat Frankie, on the forum, by at least a minute) - lots and lots of fun stuff, including physics to make your eyes glaze. (I kid - I have an undergraduate degree in physics. But YOU probably don't - so maybe I don't kid.) Water Lovin', even after today's One One Se7en - that Frankie's a courageous guy. And cool AI stuff. Go read! (I'm a little sad that the thumbnail aspect has changed, with the new B.net layout - I had to crop the image for our Weekly Update Archive version. Such is the price of progress, I suppose.) (Louis Wu 00:55:29 UTC)

Ramping up to one every two seconds
Over at Bungie.net, there's a new Top Story - a look at the making of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition packaging. I know what you're thinking - 'wtf, a story about PACKAGING?' Go read it - it's pretty interesting. According to Jeff Sanborn, one of the Microsoft guys responsible for the production, they'll be making more than 450,000 helmets before Halo 3 rolls out. That's MUCH more 'limited' than the Halo 2 Limited Edition (which shipped 2.5 million copies, and sold the vast majority of them) - if you want one of these bad boys, you better pre-order it. Go check out the rest of the details at B.net! Thanks to Tyger, who was first getting us this news yesterday. (Louis Wu 12:22:04 UTC)
