Awesome Xbox Up For Auction
Max pointed out a really cool Weta-created Xbox being auctioned off right now (proceeds to go to charity). Go by and look - bids started at a dollar yesterday, but it's already up over $520 AU (about $481 US), with four days left to run. Gorgeous! (Louis Wu 22:21:02 UTC)

Most Creative Use of a Crate Contest
Halo 3 Screenshots wants to give you stuff - just enter the 'Most Creative Use of a Crate Contest'! That's right - use a crate creatively in Forge, snap a screen, and you could win a copy of Red vs Blue Reconstruction, or the DK Halo Encyclopedia. What a long way we've come from STC!

Tuesday Afternoon Movies
Quick recap of the vids available on Bungie's Comm Chatter today:

- MLG Pros Neighbor and Hysteria have put together a dualtage that shows off some of their lives, as well.
- Muggsy's 3rd Halo 3 Montage is a standard slayer montage - sniper mania, with a few other weapons tossed in for variety.
- More Then [sic] Just Hogs is a Rocket Race montage from the H3 Wheelmen. Boom!
Go watch, if you haven't already! (Louis Wu 21:19:22 UTC)

I gotchyer archetype right here...
Over at NOW Gamer, an interview with Crysis 2 writer Richard Morgan (known for some really fantastic novels) went live yesterday - he has some negative things to say about Halo's characters. Interesting viewpoint - you can chime in with your own thoughts in the thread on our forum started by mattroe.

Brian Sharp Teaches Leadership
Yesterday we ran seriously behind, so we missed a bunch of new content on Bungie's Comm Chatter - let's get started with a cool presentation given at this years' Game Developers Conference by Lead Engineer Brian Sharp - it's an hour-long talk giving some solid tips on becoming a better leader. Worth watching! (Louis Wu 03:44:05 UTC)

Custom Lightmaps in Halo CE
In other Halo CE news, we got word of Precipice - it's one of the first maps to benefit from custom lightmaps. The team has managed to import Tool's default lightmaps into 3ds max - and can now render some gorgeous maps that are much better than what you can get out of Tool. The bar continues to be raised!Update: Siliconmaster482, the mapmaker for Precipice, clarified that though custom lightmaps are PLANNED for the map, the screenshots visible now are using the lower-quality Tool-generated maps. Oops! (Louis Wu 10:57:32 UTC)

Halo 2 - in Halo CE
MattDratt pointed out a post at Halomaps.org showing off (well, letting you download, but also showing off via screenshots) some Halo 2 maps remade for Halo CE. They look AMAZING; it's hard to tell you're NOT playing Halo 2. (Louis Wu 10:56:55 UTC)

Out of Reach, Chapter 3
The next chapter of 'Out of Reach' (the wish list for the game being created on Kombo.com - we mentioned Chapters 1 and 2 Thursday) went live yesterday - it focuses on starting weapons. Most of the discussion is about the Assault Rifle, with some pistol speculation tossed in. Give it a read! Coming later today: Chapter 4, Power Weapons. (Louis Wu 10:56:34 UTC)

Out of Reach, Part 1 and 2
Kombo.com started up an article series they call 'Out of Reach' - it's full of things they're hoping to get out of Halo: Reach. (Geddit? Out of Reach? Geddit?) Part 1 went up on Monday (we missed it, sorry), Part 2 is live today. They're expecting to post Part 3 tomorrow. (Louis Wu 21:42:54 UTC)

Improvement on a daily basis
Two new posts went live last night on the Reach Developer Blog - Marcus talked about improved AI, 'ambient moments', and assassination animations... and teased with a clip of a screenshot that shows off some pretty nice trees. Sounds like things are really coming together! (Louis Wu 12:01:26 UTC)

Personalizing Your Heroes
JeuxVideo.com has interviewed Luke Smith and Brian Jarrard about the Player Investment system in Reach - the interview is in French, but Google does a tolerable job translating, and there are a bunch of new, pretty, screenshots. Thanks, Overdoziz.Update: MagniHarvald has done some nice translating, if you don't feel like wrestling with Google. (Louis Wu 19:51:51 UTC)

Voices in your Head
In a masterful piece of storytelling, urk takes us back to the early days of Halo's development, and the evolution of the Flood - where the idea came from, what it started as, how it looked before being fleshed out (so to speak). It's a fascinating read. And it comes with some great concept art that you may not have seen before. Go read! (Louis Wu 12:36:29 UTC)

Playing with Hunters
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte has created another pair of renders ('Pan_test01' and 'Pan_test02') using the Hunter and Marine models he started working with a few weeks ago. The second one includes some Elite renders that add some killer atmosphere to the pic! Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 20:28:17 UTC)

Without End - Part One
Tommy92L is back with a new film - it's called 'Without End - Part One' and it tells a story of a Spartan escaping a crumbling, polluted civilization, hoping to start fresh. Nice cinematography - intrigued to see where this goes! (Louis Wu 13:26:16 UTC)

Spherical Panorama: Valhalla
HaLo2FrEeEk is back with another cool panorama - this time, it's a 20mb version of Valhalla. Check his forum post for details on how it was created, then swing by to his panorama viewer to play with it! (The Little World version of the map is pretty cool, all by itself.) And if you have a PC, and like the idea of this as a screensaver, he's posted download links for both this panorama and the last one (Epitaph). More are coming! (Louis Wu 15:43:54 UTC)

Buy Oonsk - 5000 cR
Back a bit earlier than expected - time to summarize the cool news of the day. The reveal (as expected) was Halo: Reach's Player Investment System - it's the way Bungie's going to keep you playing Reach... a LOT. Info, as it showed up for me:
- The initial reveal happened at G4TV - an article, coupled with a 7-minute video (mostly just a discussion between two editors), explains the system, and how it's going to work.
- Tied the Leader wrote up a glowing recommendation of the system, and why it shows that Bungie loves you. (Thanks, urk.)
- A large discussion involving lots of cool stuff happened on our forum - join in. (Thanks, BuzzJuice, for kicking it off.)
- G4TV updated their image gallery with 12 shots of the system at work - thanks again, urk.
Go absorb it all - pretty cool stuff! (Louis Wu 20:39:30 UTC)

Kerlo's Old School Montage
Quick catch-up on news from Bungie's Comm Chatter before the clock rolls over... starting with a pretty nice montage from a Polish Halo 3 player, Kerlo. The man is scary-good with a sniper rifle. 11 minutes long - but quite watchable.
