The Return of Master Chief
MGS VP Phil Spencer talked to IGN about what's coming - including a bunch of discussion about Halo. Two interesting tidbits: a HD version of Halo 2 MIGHT be in the works... and the Halo 4 engine started life as Reach code. Go read the rest! Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 15:43:07 UTC)

Bungie Day - A Love Letter to YOU
2011 is a huge year for Bungie. It's the 20th year of their formation as a game company. It's the 10th anniversary of their most powerful creation - the Halo franchise. It is also the year that they are turning over that franchise to the 343 Industries team at Microsoft, and heading out for a new universe. To celebrate all this, they're having their biggest Bungie Day blowout ever. In-game gifts, connectivity tools, information, awesome buying options, and even the possibility of a full steak dinner - for real. They love you - and they want to show you how much. Visit Bungie.net and get all the details... and prepare for the ramp-up to July 7 - a ramp-up that starts in just 10 days! (Louis Wu 02:40:21 UTC)

Flavor of the 'Weak'
Jack and Geoff are back for their 38th episode of "Fails of the Weak." There's plenty of campaign and multiplayer fails here, including a suicidal Brute and a high-flying glitch on Hemorrhage. Am I the only one who absolutely loves Geoff's laugh? Especially at the Revenant campaign fail. Every time I hear it, I start smiling. Go watch! (Hitmonchan 17:41:15 UTC)

Guess who's back, back again.
What better way to cap off a day of exciting Halo news than to envelop yourself in the whimsical prose of Thy Great One, Frank O'Connor? Head on over to Halo Waypoint to read "The Halo Bulletin: The Inaugural Frankie Edition," which includes tidbits on the revamped graphics overhaul, why we won't be able to play "Halo: CE" competitive multiplayer over Xbox Live and more. Here's to a great start with 343! Thanks GrimBrother One! ;-) (Hitmonchan 23:56:09 UTC)

Awake
It really feels like anything I can write in this post is going to be incredibly underwhelming, but as you may have heard, there were two megaton announcements at E3 for Halo fans. First up was Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a completely remastered and faithful return of the game that started it all. Maybe the biggest surprise was Microsoft closing the press conference with the announcement of a new Halo Trilogy, starting with Halo 4. Keep tuned here and of course to Halo Waypoint for all the latest as we can give it to you! (GrimBrother One 19:12:10 UTC)

Romeo: One Shot
Hedgemony's long-awaited Romeo: One Shot comic is now online (five pages per post, just follow from the first). Makes me want to boot up ODST, I'll tell you that. (There's even a Fan Tribute section - a Romeo tribute vid, plus screenshots and artwork, all submitted by HBO artisans.) Worth your time! (Louis Wu 18:26:52 UTC)

TSW Map Code Competition Update
MaxRealflugel tried to give away a Defiant Map Pack last week - but nobody wanted it. :( So he's adjusted the contest parameters; he's looking for a cool screenshot from Halo: Reach. His favorite one will win the submitter a Defiant code, and have their work featured in Volume 2 of Halo: Revolutions. What do you have to lose?

Halo Community Tournament: The ties that bind, the night starts here
A light crackle fills the air, raising the hair on their necks. Fire and fury pumps in their blood. Twenty-eight communities will charge into battle. Only one will reign supreme.
On the other side of the river, a large commotion rings in the air. Smoke, pops and laughter rise from the jubilant crowd, cheering on their favorite teams and enjoying the company of others.
Tonight, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST, the Halo Community Tournament will bring together groups from all corners of the Internet for one night of cavorting and celebration. For almost 10 years, these stat-trackers, news-rakers and mapmakers have built this community into what it is. We're expecting more than 430 people to participate in all.
If for some reason you can't join in the fun, Tashi0106 will be livestreaming NeoGAF's run in the tournament. The stream can be found here.
I'd like to give a special thanks to Daniel Duncan (ncsuDuncan), without whom none of this would be possible, and a very special thanks to David Ellis and Jessica Shea (bsangel). I think the Halo franchise is in good hands.
Good luck everyone, but more importantly, have fun!

Of Hardpoints, and Such
Running a bit late this morning - sorry. Black Six noticed yet another update to Isaac Hannaford's blog - check out the Sabre concept art! This one started in 2D, but was mocked up in 3D because he wanted to be sure the model held up from all angles. (Louis Wu 16:36:39 UTC)

Does That Count As A BeTrayAl?
So, remember that "Buy A Laptop, Get an Xbox 360" deal that Microsoft just started? Well, their accompanying marketing campaign just got a whole lot better. So... where do I get the free Spartan Laser? (GrimBrother One 18:41:05 UTC)

Fails of the Weak 35
Is there a better way to start off your weekend than a video full of fails? Have you ever seen a monkey knife fight in international waters? There's no comparison. But I guess this will do. Thanks, Sparkypinball, for letting us know!

Reach for Success
Sgt Hartsock let us know about a news piece from back in March on a Sacramento TV channel - it focuses on a boy with muscular dystrophy, and how Halo: Reach is helping him improve his life. While the story is still up on their website, the video seems to be offline. Never fear, though - Sgt Hartsock recorded it off the screen. (Louis Wu 14:42:42 UTC)

New discovery supports old rumor
It's time you start believing in destiny.
Tracing the paper trails of Bungie employees, I discovered Podophobia Entertainment, a dummy corporation formed by company president Harold Ryan and composer Martin O'Donnell. And wouldn't you know it, a quick trademark search for the company revealed a listing for "Destiny."
Does that name sound familiar? It's the title an ex-Bungie contractor leaked to Kotaku after he said he was fired. He also said the game blends together first-person shooter, MMO and sci-fi elements.
The trademark describes the game as "[c]omputer game software downloadable from a global computer network."
NeoGAF member Willeth noticed strange symbols on a Bungie employee's T-shirt in a recent video from Penny Arcade. The small symbol on his left shoulder matches the logo in the listing.
According to Trademarkia, the trademark was filed July 20, 2009, and it was granted a second extension on March 7.
Podophobia Entertainment goes back to May 8, 2006, according to the Delaware Division of Corporations. It is now listed as inactive.
The company has a second trademark filed, "Be Brave," which was also granted a second extension on Feb. 24. The description for the trademark is nearly identical to the one for "Destiny." (Hitmonchan 13:38:25 UTC)

I feel bad for Jeff Stanler.
Starting May 22, if you are a student and you buy a Windows 7 PC over $699, you will receive a free Xbox 360. To promote this deal, Microsoft has posted an ad called 'Guess who's coming to college?', featuring some pretty nice Spartan armor. Heh. Thanks to Gundamguy for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:33:59 UTC)

High Speed Halo Hijinx
RC Master provided a nice wrapup of recent goings-on over at High Speed Halo:
- Dark Devastation whipped through Reach's New Alexandria in Mythic mode in 12:12 at the end of last week.
- RC Master took down ODST's Kikowani Station with nearly 550,000 points on Legendary.
- zusaij set the new speed record for ODST's Tayari Plaza on Normal - 2:03.
- Then he did the same for ODST's Uplift Reserve, on Easy - 2:24.
- KroKus beat Reach's Winter Contingency on Heroic in 8:48.
- Finally, GevarM96 and GewehrM48 flew through Reach's Tip of the Spear on Easy in just 7:02.
This last run debuts a new format for videos - just one screen at a time, flipping back and forth between players based on who's doing the most interesting stuff. They're looking for feedback on the change - swing by their forum and talk to them! (Louis Wu 14:22:33 UTC)
