The Headshot Heard 'Round the World
You'd think with all these giveaways and contests, it would be December, or something... nope, still October. We've got a new one for you - KontrolFreek wants to see your most impressive headshot clip. In return, they're giving away a whole bunch of FPS Freek Legendarys (they're controller enhancers - they'll make you play better), and some bigger prizes as well. Check out the full details on the contest page. And start domin'! (Louis Wu 19:48:54 UTC)

NeoGAF delivers the fun
I've been a little slack in my reading of NeoGAF's Halo thread (it's usually chock-full of pass-onable goodness), so I went through the last 750 posts or so this morning. Here are some of the morsels I found:
- DancingJesus found a video showing just how bad Kinect for Halo: Reach would be...
- Dani posted screenshots and a download link for Ghostbusters, an Infection gametype that looks to be a whole lot of fun.
- Sai-kun posted a rendered film of his friend getting a badass-looking kill on a hog - doesn't sound like much, but watch it. It's epic.
- IGN posted their Top Ten Kill video for October 6, and aesop noticed - because he's in it. (Maybe this should be subtitled 'lots of betrayals'...)
- wwm0nkey found a YouTube vid showing what the various maps look like when fog is turned off - it's obvious why the fog is there in the first place (especially on maps like Reflection), but MAN those are some gorgeous areas. Nice job, Bungie artists!
I'm sure there's more I missed - but hey, that's a start! (Louis Wu 19:13:36 UTC)

Devin-Sent - a Giveaway
Devin Olsen has decided to start up a giveaway series of his own - and the first round is simple. He's looking for a title for the series! If your creativeness leads to a new name for this series, you win the prize... but if he doesn't find a title he likes, the winner will be chosen at random from all entries. What do you have to lose? Toss your name (and your idea) in the pot! (Louis Wu 17:33:45 UTC)

Turns out Starlight was wrong.
That bombshell from yesterday? About 6 new games and a movie coming from 343 Industries, starting in 2 years? Yeah, that might not be fully accurate. In fact, according to Frankie... it's hogwash. For those who were worried about the downhill slide of quality that this sort of content schedule would inevitably incite... breathe easy. (Louis Wu 16:24:46 UTC)

Two new trilogies and a movie? Wonga.
Hmm... during a panel discussion at New York Comic Con last night, Jeff Gomez, President and CEO of Starlight Runner, a PR company, previewed a slide showing some of the upcoming stuff from the Halo franchise - "two new trilogies starting in 2012/2013 with a major motion picture set for release by 2014." Wow... that's a lot of content. Thanks, Exanubisleader. (Louis Wu 20:16:01 UTC)

I will not buy this record - it is scratched.
Anton P. Nym just threw down the gauntlet for what looks like one of the more entertaining contests out there - he's looking for a particular (staged) screenshot, and if you're the first to provide it, he'll provide 15 render minutes for your finest Halo shenanigans. Go see if you can give him what he wants! Update: Whoa. HQHB answered this challenge in under 2 hours. Insanity! (Louis Wu 14:48:55 UTC)

Forging Ahead
GhaleonEB has decided to start a blog about Forging - he's focusing on how a map comes into being, rather than the nuts and bolts of actually building it. His opening entry is now up at Forward Unto Dawn - go give it a read! And bookmark it, because I'm betting future installments are gonna be fascinating. (Louis Wu 14:39:39 UTC)

Prettifying the already pretty
Hedgemony stopped by to say that he's taking submissions again - and he includes an example of a recent screenshot he enhanced a bit for a fan. Dang. (Louis Wu 14:34:03 UTC)

What if the world... persisted?
Not really Halo-related, but we don't have a site up yet for Bungie's next title... looks like Joe Staten has started some speculation with a comment he made yesterday at his GDC Online talk. Hmm... (Louis Wu 17:51:09 UTC)

Halo: Reach Fan Trailer
NeoGAF's Popeck put together a trailer for Reach that started with the premise, "what if you played the game as Master Chief?" Interesting piece of work! (Spoilers abound, of course.) (Louis Wu 17:49:30 UTC)

Halo Movie Rumor Surface Yet Again
According to IGN, Stephen Spielberg is interested in obtaining the screen rights to make a Halo movie based on one or more Halo novels. (He's staying away from the games themselves to avoid a lawsuit from Fox/Universal, apparently.) Interesting to see if this goes anywhere... thanks, Gilver. (Louis Wu 16:12:54 UTC)

Frankie Talks Halo
OXM's Ryan McCaffrey let NeoGAF know that the latest OXM podcast contains a monster interview with Frank O'Connor - talk ranges from Halo merch to universe canon, with lots of stuff in between. As Ryan says, the Frankie interview starts at 40:00. Go listen! (Louis Wu 11:53:52 UTC)

BWU - on time, even if we don't say so
Bungie's Weekly Update went live on Friday, as expected (and in fact even made it into our Weekly Update Archive on Friday) - but the newspost has been a bit delayed. If you haven't read it yet, go do so - there's info about upcoming matchmaking changes, corrections of bad intel released last week, advice to install your copy of Reach to the hard drive (and some teases at DLC that might be coming soon hidden in the screenshots for that section), advice on voice tweaks, discussion of credit limits and similar topics, melee info, cool vids, cool screenshots, and more. It's chock-full of nutritious goodness! (Not too many calories, though.) (Louis Wu 00:55:25 UTC)

Terminator: Salvation Trailer
JIMBOTHY decided to try and reproduce the Terminator Salvation theatrical trailer (the third one, to be precise) in the Reach engine. He did a pretty impressive job! (If you want to see them side-by-side, try this link; the synch is a touch off, but you can get a pretty good sense of what he was doing.) (Louis Wu 19:30:57 UTC)

GameOverCast Talks Reach
Catching up - going back over our forum, picking out the gems you might have missed. (Certainly ones WE missed.) The only order here is chronological. I've got 7 so far, starting on Thursday morning, running through Thursday midday. After I post these, I'll go back and pick up another 7, and continue until I'm current. (There's also a ton of email to get to.) First up: GameOverCast has posted Episode 16 of their podcast, and it's devoted to Reach. You can read a summary in radarhead's forum post. (They're already up to Episode 17, so scroll down to 16.) (Louis Wu 19:28:50 UTC)

HaloCharts Screenshot Contest Winner Announced
Firestream sent word that HaloCharts held a Halo Reach Elite
Assassination Screenshot contest - and they've announced the winner. 72 entries came in - some are spectacular! Go see 'em. (Louis Wu 05:55:31 UTC)

Sculpey Noble Team
Antithesis sent along a bunch of pics of new models he's been making - we've added them to his gallery here. Some are a month or so old, but the last few are brand-spankin-new. Start here, and step through to the end. The man's amazing. (And... with that, I'll call it a (very early) day; leaving for the airport in less than 30 minutes, so no more Halo news for a bit. Try to be good.)

Tag and Release: Elite
w00t! Tag and Release is back at Bungie.net - which means two things: cool screenshots are a link away, and (more importantly) the B.net tag search is fixed! Yay! Go look at what 'Elite' brings up. (Louis Wu 18:28:56 UTC)

A Brief History of Halo
KP was the first to point out a screenshot-based History of Halo at Time Magazine. The piece itself is nothing special - but the fact that it's 15 pictures long in a huge national magazine is pretty impressive!

Reach Armor Permutation Glitch
Dojorkan found a way to glitch some funky armor permutations out of Reach; you can't use 'em in the regular game, but you can certainly grab some cool screens. Give his post a read!

Reach: a couple of views
We haven't been posting reviews of Halo: Reach, because there are lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of them (Metacritic currently lists 60 critic reviews, and 127 user reviews), but here are a couple of items - one local and one not - that are not quite reviews, but worth checking out. G4's Adam Sessler talks about Reach in the context of the buzz it's created - it's a decent watch. (Minor spoilers, if you watch the screens behind Adam.) Thanks, Morpheus. And Cody Miller writes four thousand words on Reach, and how it feels to him. You can certainly disagree with some of his points, but you can't deny he explains his positions. (Spoilers abound.)
