Fans Were Given Choices, ATLAS Shrugged, and 12pm Said Hello
Yesterday evening turned out to be a pretty good news night on the Halo front, with the New York City Comic Con yielding some nice tidbits...
- 343 Industries formally announced the inclusion of High Noon/Hang 'Em High to the lineup of maps coming out with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Check out the IGN Interview with Max Hoberman from Certain Affinity.
- Also shown off was some of the very cool new upgrades and features coming soon to Halo Waypoint, across all mediums. Gamespot has a feature previewing what's coming, including a very interesting new program called "ATLAS", which streams data from any multiplayer game you are in to an app on your Windows Mobile Phone in real time, potentially giving you an armored-leg up on the competition. Also discussed are the new Custom Challenges that you can create for your friends to attempt in Halo: Reach. Sweet!
- HBO Member Simpsons Rule also left us an awesome write-up on our forums detailing his first-hand experience and impressions at the Halo Panel from the NYCCC. If you weren't there, and want a great fan's perspective, definitely check this out and offer your own thoughts!
We will of course be adding more as the various news sites start making their own reports, but until now, enjoy! (GrimBrother One 18:13:50 UTC)

Anniversary Achieveables!
Pretty much top news of the evening last night was the revealing of the Achievement List for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. There are some absolutely great ones in there, as well as a few that will certainly provide a challenge for many. ElzarTheBam was also kind enough to use his 343rd post to start a discussion about it on our forum. Check it out! (GrimBrother One 15:12:46 UTC)

Best Fronking Comic Ever.
The illustrious JDQuackers has brought to us a beacon of hope for all those who wake up in the morning with the insatiable hunger for a taste of sweet Hedgemony. Like Moses on the mount, JD has brought forth words from the man himself; a brand new adventure featuring our favorite fighting fish, Samurai Fronk. The adventure starts here. You won't regret this.

Title Update Health Glitch?
Nak3d Eli pointed out what seems to be a glitch in how health is handled in the Reach Title Update - you might not have what you think you have. Watch his video, and decide for yourself! (The thread he started has some interesting discussion and further testing.) (Louis Wu 14:20:02 UTC)

Halo: Reach Stat Checker v1.1
Shadow8P dropped in to announce an update to his Halo: Reach Stat Checker - now it shows Grifball stats, and lets you look at more stats at once. Windows-only. Go grab a copy! Update: dang, it's already up to 1.2! Now it has a new screen that doesn't rely on scroll bars. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:27:57 UTC)

Halo Wars: What Might Have Been
OXM UK has put together an article about what was cut from Halo Wars during development - one of the big things was splitscreen gameplay. Unfortunately, the actual article is behind a paywall (you can download it for a fee - if you've got a credit card with a UK billing address). Thanks to ElzarTheBam for the heads-up.

Baffling Early Prototypes of Video Games
Cracked.com looks at games that ended up pretty different from how they started. Halo makes the list. Thanks, Ibeechu. (Louis Wu 18:19:16 UTC)

It's Bungie Day! Er...
The Title Update Beta Hopper is online on Xbox LIVE - go play and see how 85% bloom suits you! If you want the gametypes for customs, FyreWulff has your back - 85% Bloom Slayer is already available in his Fileshare, and more variants will be coming soon. (The title for this newspost comes from the fact that when you log in to Reach today, you get a message welcoming you to Bungie Day - oops. Don't let this put you off - the new gametypes are a lot of fun!) Update: Der Flatulator6 has added three more gametypes to his Fileshare: 3 flag CTF, 3 Plot Territories, and Zero Bloom Slayer DMRs - go grab copies! Update 2: the splash screen's been updated with a REAL Title Update splash (looks like this). (Louis Wu 14:37:23 UTC)

Reach Customz Ep 1: Double Rainbow
Timgie stopped in with word of a new series called Reach Customz - it will feature a new custom map every week. First episode looks at Double Rainbow, which starts with the standard Writer's Mind/NASCAR gametype, removes the infection, and adds sniper rifles. Go give him feedback! (Louis Wu 14:17:42 UTC)

Custom Arbiter Thel 'Vadam [Reach Scale]
Kaidon continues to amaze with his custom action figures - this time, he started with a Halo Wars Ripa 'Moramee (from McFarlane's Series Eight), and customized it to look like Bungie's Arbiter. Awesome!

TU issues cleared up
So as anyone who's played Reach online recently knows, the Title Update went live a few days ago - and a small group of people were suddenly locked out of Matchmaking, inadvertently. (Folks who participated in a LIVE beta recently received a 'preview disc' with Halo: Reach on it - this version was supposed to be identical to the retail version, but turned out not to be.) It took a couple of days, but a fix has been settled upon - people with the preview disc received an email with a code for a Games on Demand version of Halo: Reach. (Thanks to Vlad356 for the screenshot.) If you're in this boat, be sure to check for this code in the email account linked to your Gamertag. (Louis Wu 18:46:23 UTC)

The Ultimate Jump - a CVG look at Halo Tricking
Computer and Video Games has an article about the Two Towers trick, which finally fell to Halo tricksters this past June. It's a surprisingly in-depth article; I'd have thought this sort of activity wouldn't earn attention like this from a general gaming mag... but I'd have been wrong. Give it a read - pretty cool stuff! (ElzarTheBam started up a discussion thread on our forum, if you've got comments.) (Louis Wu 13:30:52 UTC)

Data Drop #2 from the Office of Bellybutton Awareness
Meanwhile, back on the Front Page™, Grim was busy putting up the latest news on Data Drop 2 from the spooks over at the Office of Nav- I mean Halo Waypoint. Definitely an interesting read. Go and check it out! If you would like to discuss, ElzarTheBam also started a thread about it on our forum. (GrimBrother One 13:12:21 UTC)

GameTrailers GC and TGS vids
ZZoMBiE13 pointed out a few vids at GameTrailers, courtesy of Gamescom and the Tokyo Game Show - there's an interview with Dan Ayoub, recorded at Gamescom (we MIGHT have covered this already; I'm not willing to watch through the half-dozen interviews Dan gave to OTHER news outlets to figure out if this is original or not), there's a copy of the Headlong video we mentioned yesterday (in case you aren't happy with IGN's player), and there's some off-screen footage of gameplay on Installation 04, the new Firefight map. (The japanese announcer isn't anywhere NEAR as epic-sounding as Jeff Steitzer.) Go catch up! (Louis Wu 14:08:29 UTC)

Welcome back, Master Chief
In addition to the Headlong (sorry, Breakneck) reveal, 343 has also released a few screenshots from the remastered Pillar of Autumn - you get a great look at the new Master Chief. Thanks to Moorpheusl9 for posting this on our forum. (Louis Wu 20:17:24 UTC)

Instillation OH!-Four
While we are on the subject of fabulous artistic expression, you should check out what Hedgemony was able to do with the aforementioned screenshot from the Instillation 04 Firefight map from Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. The results are breathtaking, creating an ocular ecstasy that is typically only reserved for the third sphere of Heaven, sunrises in the Australian bush, and my wife. You might want to slip into something more comfortable before clicking this. (GrimBrother One 16:08:19 UTC)

No Thanks Necessary
Leviathan was inspired by the recent screenshots from the Installation 04 Firefight map to create another masterpiece highlighting the gas giant of Threshold's more subtle hues. Simply breathtaking. (GrimBrother One 15:35:19 UTC)

This Headline Is Not A Natur... Ahh, Nevermind
We start your HBO news Friday with this week's Halo Bulletin, courtesy of the lovely bs angel from 343 Industries. You'll find talk of costumes that look to the future, and a Firefight map giving nods toward the past, all wrapped up in one kitten-loving package. You can also find it locally in our archive. Go read it! (GrimBrother One 04:05:31 UTC)

Engineering Awesome Screenshots
We interrupt this news day to bring you two awesome images from HBO forum denizens. From BlueNinja, a gorgeous shot of Huragok in the night. From AngelicLionheart, a Mk V Spartan ready to wreak havoc within a Covenant ship. Both are gorgeous, and well worth the look! (GrimBrother One 13:39:04 UTC)

First - make a million dollars.
Physics Remastered is back with a tutorial showing how to get into the Ice Cave on The Package. (I'm amused by the fact that it STARTS with what might be the hardest glitch to activate in the game.) Pretty cool, if you can pull it off! Thanks, Carnage A51. (Louis Wu 17:55:04 UTC)

The end... and a beginning
TDSpiral is starting college, so he's probably done with Halo-related fan art... but he's going out with a bang. Check out Red Rocky Goodbye. (And wish him luck in his next stage!) (Louis Wu 14:42:41 UTC)

Movie Movie Movie INTERVIEW
Lots of cool vids are available over at Halo Waypoint. First up - Assault on Squad 45, Part 3 went up a few days ago. This amazing stop-motion Mega Bloks-based series has been fun from the start, and this episode is the best yet. I want more toys! (The Hunter doing a Nixon impression is priceless.) When you're done with that one, check out the Halo Fest Machinima finalists - and the overall winner (HBO's own Bryan Newman!). Finally, a new Grifball Highlight vid from GrifballHub is live - these guys are amazing. If movies aren't your thing, Waypoint's STILL got you covered - The Halo Book Club just published a Q&A with Tobias Buckell, who wrote both the novel Halo: The Cole Protocol and the Halo short story Dirt. Great read! Go spend some time over there. (Louis Wu 14:23:04 UTC)

Spartan Cosplay
nam found a cool video from Otakuthon 2011 in Montreal - starting at about 1:45 is a fun little enactment by a pair of Spartans. Check it! (If people around you have sensitive ears, turn the volume down; the song's lyrics are not very SFW.)
