MLG Forge Forum Map Pack 2
The MLG Halo 3 Forge Forum has put together a 12-map pack with some gorgeous work inside - swing by the MLG Forum for info and screenshots, or just visit the Forge Forum's Fileshare to download the maps. (Actually, the count is a bit suspect; the PR and the MLG Forum post both say 12 maps, but there are 18 maps marked 'MLG H3FF MP2' in the Fileshare. Either way - there's a lot of play options.) Check it out! Thanks to both urk, who posted this on Bungie.net yesterday, and Rehn Miller, who contacted us directly, for the heads-up. Update: apparently, we got our link from Bungie.net, which had it wrong; they used the link for the FIRST mappack. The correct link has been swapped in above (and right here, too). Also: "the map pack contains 12 featured 4v4 maps, with 2 more 4v4 maps being up to the judges standards of gameplay, the rest are FFA, 1v1 and 2v2." Hope that clears things up!

Community Spotlight: Mythic Photographers
There's a new Community Spotlight up at Bungie.net - in the spotlight this go-round are the Mythic Photographers. As you might guess, they're big on screenshots. Read about what drives 'em on B.net's front page, and then check out some of their favorite files in the Bungie Favorites section!

Wednesday is Movie Day at Bungie.net
Tons of new movies highlighted today on Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- IGN's Top 10 Halo 3 Kills for the week of February 10 is full of funny moments.
- Frantic is... well, frantic (it's a minitage). I have a headache.
- Remembrance is a Campaign Screenshot Montage from whitesoxrule.
- Community Carnage: The Show is a Halo 2 montage designed to remind you about all the awesome stuff in that game.
- Arby 'n' the Chief in LA is up to episode 6 (we last mentioned Episode 3, so we missed 4 and 5, I guess). Say hello to Sonic, Mario, and more.
That's a lotta videos! (Louis Wu 17:51:58 UTC)

Bungie Talks Reach to Waypoint
This went up yesterday, but there were problems with audio synch - looks like this has been fixed. The Halo Waypoint team interviewed Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard (in a funkily-lit space) - the discussion is different from many of the other interviews we've seen recently. Looks like cutscenes are going to be scarce (or nonexistent) in Reach! Also, don't start thinking you'll be moving around the universe; Brian confirms that the entire game takes place on Reach itself. (Louis Wu 16:30:16 UTC)

Hittin' on that crack pipe
pete_the_duck has decided to try and suss out what the first level of Halo: Reach looks like, based on the screenshots we've seen so far. It'll be a while before we know if he's right or not - but it's a pretty cool thought experiment in any case! (Louis Wu 15:18:53 UTC)

McFarlane 2010 Offerings
Toy Fair 2010 happened yesterday - and the news out of McFarlane is Reach-filled. GrimBrother One started the party with a link to Kotaku, but InnerRayg pointed out a lot more pics at Figures.com, and later came back with pics from Cool Toy Review. Go get your fill! (I gotta say, the VISR stuff looks weird.) (Louis Wu 12:48:41 UTC)

Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots: Partners for Life
Not surprisingly, the Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection this week is love-themed... go check out 'Partners for Life'. Mostly safe for work (seeing as how they're all wearing armor).

Grifball: Expansion - coming to Waypoint
T51b noticed that a new Rooster Teeth series is coming to Halo Waypoint, starting next week - the trailer for 'Grifball: Expansion' is online now, and the first episode will be aired on February 20. We've put up 720p versions of the trailer on the web, for folks who want to see what they'd be missing: grab it in either WMP9 (32 mb) or QuickTime (26 mb) formats. (If you watch it on Waypoint, don't miss other goodies, like Valentines screens, or the unsegmented version of Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, or the new Reach ViDoc... or tons of other stuff!

Territory Captured.
In all that drooling while we waited for the Bungie ViDoc, we neglected to notice the start of the Team Control Double EXP weekend playlist yesterday - swing by Bungie.net for a full rundown of the gametypes and maps. (Louis Wu 20:42:10 UTC)

Starting bid is $165, and there are about two and a half days left on the auction. (Louis Wu 15:29:51 UTC)

Reach Beta: It's coming soon!
So if you're not cool enough to be invited to the X10 event in San Francisco today, you might want to swing by Bungie.net - they're showing off new screenshots, new art assets... and a date for the Halo: Reach Beta. Is your calendar open on May 3, 2010? WELL, OPEN IT, SOLDIER! (Louis Wu 21:39:47 UTC)

Hint and ye shall receive
A couple of hours ago, we posted that one of the Hide, Seek, Snap images from Round 10 was still unsolved - and provided a second clue. Almost immediately, chris101b sent us a screenshot. Nice work, Chris! We've posted two NEW shots for you - this time, there's one each from Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. Go reproduce them, and get your OWN Johnson code! (Louis Wu 17:41:28 UTC)

Hide, Seek, Snap - Really? You're stumped?
Folks STILL haven't come up with a solution for the latest Hide, Seek, Snap image - so we've added a second clue. And we've had word from the first Round 10 winner that Sgt. Johnson codes do, in fact, still work, even though the original cards said that they'd expire on January 31 - so reproduce our screen, and win your own! (Louis Wu 15:21:19 UTC)

1 vs 100 Extended Play - Halo Edition
Yesterday there was a Halo-specific version of 1 vs 100 on Xbox LIVE - if you missed it, FyreWulff streamed it on Livestream. (It starts in this video, about 9 minutes in, and finishes up in this video.) You can't win anything by playing today - but you can see how up-to-snuff your Halo knowledge is!

Goodies on Halo Waypoint
Don't you just love it when weekends turn out like you planned 'em? Back for a little bit, to update you on a few of the things that have been going on since Friday. Let's start with Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian, Part 4 - it went live, as expected, yesterday, and finishes the Frank O'Connor-penned short story Waypoint started 3 weeks ago. It's a great piece of work, and if you'd rather see it in one unbroken run, it'll be up on Halo Waypoint next week in its complete form. While you're there, don't forget all the other stuff they've got for you! (Louis Wu 15:55:51 UTC)

Grand Valley
TDSpiral also whipped up a gorgeous piece of artwork - this one's concept art rather than promotional, but it's just as nice to look at. (He started a thread about it on our forum, as well.)

Hide, Seek, Snap: Round 9 over, Round 10 live
The two Halo 3: ODST screens for Round 9 of our Hide, Seek, Snap contest were successfully reproduced (congrats, Mushroomy and bhwrice - you both have new Sgt Johnson codes!) - and two new screens (from Halo 3 again) are available for Round 10. Still missing a Johnson code for ODST Firefight? Here's another pair of chances! Go find 'em!

Congrats to leafman343, who reproduced the remaining Round 8 screenshot from our Hide, Seek, Snap giveaway - another Johnson code, out the door! Swing by the contest page for a pair of Round 9 images - these two come from ODST, rather than Halo 3! Get to work! (Louis Wu 15:55:49 UTC)

Tools, Tech, and Team - all Advanced
Last night, Bungie.net posted 'Halo: Reach - 3D Art Evolved' - it's an article which details the development of various assets through the years, with some great comparison shots. 3D Art Lead Scott Shepherd discusses how Bungie attacked the asset issue in Halo: Reach. Go read the rationale behind some of the changes - and look at the pretty pictures! (There's a large thread on our forum, started last night by Minime637, if you want to toss your two cents in.)

Inspiration for the DMR?
Crackshot53 recognized a brand-new (in OUR world) gun called the 'Kel-Tec RFB' when he looked at the new DMR in Bungie's Reach assets. Screenshots are in his first post, and a video of the RFB firing can be found here. Seems like a pretty solid gun! Maybe Bungie liked it too? (Louis Wu 19:24:44 UTC)
