Guide for MLG Beginners
Hehe - Vapor wrote up a short little guide for surviving in MLG Custom games (mostly for folks who can't). A couple of things I wouldn't have thought of in there (like the fact that even though it takes 4 bursts to the head to take out an opponent with a battle rifle, it STILL only takes 4 bursts if the first three hit the body; only the last needs to hit the head).

What is, and what might have been
Narcogen looks at the Halo franchise from a slightly different standpoint today - it's a system staple for the Xbox, yes... but would it have been what it's become without the help of Steve Jobs? Go read. (Louis Wu 10:55:24 UTC)

The Disposition of Intellectual Property
Flashman has written up a rebuttal to the recent article at HaloDev about 'ripping' - his argument is that creative expression (and free speech) is being stifled by fear of infringement of intellectual property. I almost didn't post this; we've had a pretty substantial email conversation this morning about the subject, and I was pretty sure at the outset that he had simply missed the point of the HaloDev article... but I was wrong; he understood it, but believes that once you release material into the world, you're obligated to live with what the world does with it. (I STRONGLY disagree with this sentiment; I believe that the intellectual property owner should have final say about the use of their creation... but my disagreement shouldn't stifle the discussion itself; it's a blog, there are built-in tools for making your views known.) Go read - then let him know what you think! (Louis Wu 10:56:21 UTC)

The Lowdown on Glitching
There's a nice article on glitching, and the problems it's causing for Microsoft, over at Wired.com. Nothing really new for the hardcore Halo fan, but it's a nice introduction to the concept for the general public, and it contains great quotes from Ducain and Dark Helmet (and prominent links to High Impact Halo). Go read! (Louis Wu 10:14:27 UTC)

Ripping in the Halo Community
There's a long article over at HaloDev, discussing the ethics of 'ripping' - removing content directly from one game (in its original form, without degradation) for insertion into another game (or the same game, in a different context). It's well-written, and has some decent arguments for why intellectual property should be respected. Go read. (Thanks to several folks for pointing this out - looks like SRG was first.)

Short? He said that was short?
Bungie's Weekly What's Update has been posted; the big news is that the Map pack (originally slated for a June 28th release) is now coming out on July 5. They're not happy about it - but that's how it goes sometimes. On the bright side, if you're at E3, you'll be able to play them. There's more stuff, too, of course - I was amused by the suicide penalty story. And oh, yeah... the second volume of the Halo 2 soundtrack looks to be on schedule for an early July release. Awesome Mister Chief art, too. Go read! (Louis Wu 02:05:47 UTC)

I miss Mister Chief.
A tad late, because of family obligations, but it's time to let you know about another Bungie Weekly What's Update, posted over at Bungie.net. It's a pretty big one - it contains information about the new maps to be released in June (including two new teaser screens, of Relic and Backwash), as well as plenty of tidbits about the new playlists, and rank, and employee-shaped clouds. Go read! (Louis Wu 02:14:29 UTC)

A Bag of Angry Cats
Bungie's side of the story for last night's Halo Humpday Challenge has been posted - it's an entertaining read. It's okay to have awful stats if your team wins anyway. I'm not sure I like the title 'Anti-MLG' that was tossed at HBO... but I can't deny we like chaotic gametypes (monosnipe CTF is positively tame compared to some of the stuff that gets played).

HBO Lekgolos vs Bungie - HHC
The HBO Lekgolos played Bungie last night in the Halo Humpday Challenge - and prometheus got the jump on Frankie with a writeup on our forum. There's no Mister Chief artwork, but otherwise, it's a great post. (Hmm... come to think of it, the lack of Mister Chief artwork does it GOOD.) The Lekgolos lost - but by a pretty slim margin; looks like it was a good matchup! Go read. (Louis Wu 12:24:51 UTC)

Stats Reset, Playlist Updates - coming soon!

Details about the new playlists can be found in the article, so go read! (Details about the stats reset are pretty straightforward - they're getting reset, so you're starting at Level 1 again tomorrow.) Thanks to the eight billion people who wrote to tell us about this.

DLC Confusion
There seem to be a number of questions folks have about the new Downloadable Content, and what's covered (and NOT covered) when you buy it. Major Nelson, Director of Programming for Xbox Live, has posted a DLC FAQ over on the Xbox.com forums (free registration required to see it). There are a number of questions and answers (and he'll be updating as needed) - but the big stuff boils down to the fact that downloadable content is tied to an Xbox, not a gamertag or a Live account. If you have 5 Xboxes, you need to buy the content 5 times. (Alternatively, you can wait until June 28th, and buy the DVD - once.) If your Xbox dies, and you need to replace it - you lose all downloaded content. And so on. Go read the FAQ for more info. Thanks, CYBRFRK. (Louis Wu 22:26:02 UTC)

New(er) maps described
Ender Illes followed up his first post about Luke Timmins' Halo presentation at the University of Utah with a second one - this one focused on the maps coming out in June. (No, there's no info about Backwash here - Bungie's doing a good job of keeping that one out of the public eye. The other four, however, are detailed nicely, though without pictures.) Go read!
