ODST Campaign Opening from Gamersyde
Gamersyde released a 15-minute ODST presentation that they recorded at Gamerscom last week - it's filmed off the screen, but the HD downloads are quite watchable. It shows off the first cutscene from the game (if you've been watching ODST release info obsessively, you've already seen this, but it's nice that it's all in one place, and viewed at a nice resolution), and looks at a some of the early campaign gameplay. Again, all of the areas covered by this film have been seen in other show presentations, starting with E3 - but the comments from CJ Cowan and Brian Jarrard contain lots of interesting tidbits you might not know (cutscenes are rendered in real time, as you play, so that lip-synching by the characters matches up regardless of language - nice!). Use BitTorrent, if you can, for the downloads - it's the nicest option for the Gamersyde guys. Thanks to NeoGAF's Major Williams for the heads-up on this. (Louis Wu 14:32:45 UTC)

Cheap Prints, from Staples
Cody Gordon noticed that for the next few weeks, Staples is offering a promotion (jump over to Offer 4) that might be of interest to Halo fans; for $10, they'll print your digital picture at 18"x24", laminated and mounted - it's an inexpensive (albeit somewhat limited) alternative to the Halo3Screenshots.com printing service, for a short time. Cody sent along a couple of examples to see what you'd get: one | two. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:51:02 UTC)

Early Intel: Rally Point
Bungie's posted an article they call 'Early Intel: Rally Point' - it's basically a pair of new screenshots from the Campaign, along with a little bit of setup for them. (There's also word of a new ViDoc, seeing the light of day at Gamescom in Germany this week, but hopefully coming to the web soon.)

Just pick a direction, and go.
Bungie.net has posted 'Citadel In-Depth' - it's a look (an in-depth look, not surprisingly) at the upcoming Halo 3: ODST multiplayer map Citadel. Designer Lars Bakken, art director Justin Hayward (no, not the one from the Moody Blues) and artist Blake Low discuss the layout of the level, and how it came to be. Tossed in for good measure are a few new action screenshots. Go look it over! (Louis Wu 21:18:05 UTC)

BRs up, pinkies out!
HC Redemption wrote up a new review of the HaloScreenshots.com service - swing by HaloCharts to read it. It does a great job of pointing out the reasons you might want to avail yourself of this service - and then gives you a pretty straightforward set of instructions for doing just that. Thanks to urk for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:25:49 UTC)

ODST Content Dump
Looks like the press embargo on ODST content has ended; 1UP, IGN, and TeamXbox all have new previews up. The focus seems to be the last three Mythic maps (Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore). GameVideos has HD clips showing all three maps, while IGN's clips (at least for non-Insiders) are SD. All three previews contain boatloads of new screens. Look for more previews from other gaming sites as the day goes on! (Louis Wu 17:21:08 UTC)

CornuBungiea
Out all morning, half the afternoon - just enough time for Bungie.net to churn out a Prowler-load of new Halo content:
- The Running Riot Podcast is broadcasting live again on August 18, 9:30 pm EST. Guests are Jironimo and Cocopjojo from Ascendant Justice - should be fascinating!
- A Deaf Boy whipped up a new screenshot montage - this one focusing on the Halo 3 campaign. Gorgeous!
- phatcorns whipped up another one of his 3rd-person montages - I gotta say, these are my absolute favorite class of montage, and phatcorns does an amazing job; go look at Rocket Blues Sunset Hues.
- Phurion and Hyena (and friends) put together a 'Ninjatage' (lots of backsmacks) - it's called Ninjitsu. Timing's nice, though the material gets a bit repetitive after a while.
- The latest Tag and Release feature uses the tag 'The Cutting Edge'. Looking at the results, I'm not sure I understand the connection... but I can't deny they're cool shots!
Well, that ought to do it - go catch up! (Louis Wu 19:06:01 UTC)

Risk: Halo Wars Trailer
wraps52 noticed a trailer showing off the Risk: Halo Wars edition game over at TeamXbox. I think this could have been done just fine with screenshots... but hey, I'm not in marketing. Go read the promo text, and watch the vid. (It's only 2 minutes.) (Louis Wu 18:34:33 UTC)

A Halo movie... from Steven Spielberg?
PsychoRaven came by to tell us about an article on IESB.net (I can't find ANYTHING about who they are on their website, or anywhere else for that matter, but they sure do get the word out) that claims that Steven Spielberg is in 'active negotiations' to develop Stuart Beattie's Halo spec script for the big screen. Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp used the opportunity of SDCC a couple of weeks ago to say that the Halo movie looked dead dead dead... and now we've got another big name rumored to be interested in making yet another version. Will anything come of this? Your guess is as good as mine. Stay tuned! (Louis Wu 15:23:05 UTC)

She's probably not lookin' for Jack the Ripper...
Hawty McBloggy let us know about a new community project she's started up over at Halo3Screenshots.com - Halo Historic Scenes. Build a famous scene within Halo... what can you think of? (The example pic shows the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, but there are plenty of other options. What can you come up with? (Louis Wu 22:56:04 UTC)

Haloscreenshots.net - still here, but slowing down
Back in April, 2008, we took over the hosting of Haloscreenshots.net, sorahn's handy-dandy screenshot collection site. At the time, it was a 20GB package - I don't remember how many screens were there, but it wasn't that many. Fast forward 15 months... and this beast is half a million screenshots, 130GB in size. It's beginning to reach a point where we can't handle it any more. I'm not taking it down - but we HAVE turned off updates for the time being, and sorahn is looking for anyone interested in taking over the hosting. If you've got a ton of space (and a decent amount of bandwidth) - let him know! (Louis Wu 17:50:20 UTC)

CMT SPv2 A10 Public Beta
Dratt, on our forum, and TheGhost, via email, were nearly simultaneous about letting our community know about a new release of the Custom Mapping Team's SPV2 mod. You can check out the public beta by downloading the first map, The Pillar of Autumn, at Modacity. (You will, of course, need Halo: Custom Edition, a free add-on to HaloPC.) Dratt also pointed out a mirror at Halomaps, and a few screenshots he cherry-picked from XFire.

Who wants Grif jerky?
Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 7 - Bon Voyage - is now online for sponsors, and will be up for everyone else in a couple of hours. Sarge, Grif, and Caboose head out together... while Simmons, Donut, and Lopez try not to get in too much trouble. I think it's a wash. Of sorts. Go watch. Cause it's funny. UnSilentSlayer started a thread in our forum. (Louis Wu 23:46:49 UTC)

It's not the heat... wait, no, it's the heat
Whoa - looks like Bungie's going underground today... so the Weekly Update has been posted pretty early. They were so light on new content that they recycled an old soapbox article written by CJ Cowan almost exactly 6 years ago (you can see it in its original format over at Archive.org, if you're so inclined). There's also a reminder of the ViDoc that dropped yesterday... and a passel of new screens, in nice hi-res format. And some warnings about bans and such. And a very cool screenshot
(BOLL, are you still reading these? You should check this out). You can, as always, read this in our Weekly Update Archive (which, unlike Bungie's version, actually validates). (Louis Wu 17:00:28 UTC)

Happy... Shishka Day?
Bryan Simon has declared today, July 27 (or maybe July 26, when the video was posted - I'm not sure) National Shishka Day, and made a video to celebrate. There are a few Halo-related things about the vid (there's a Legendary helmet, a Halo 3 screenshot, and a picture of my couch from a Halo LAN party), so I suppose this can be justified as 'Halo news'... Happy Day, Shishka! Update: oops - looks like this is unwanted. Sorry, Shishka. (Louis Wu 15:51:36 UTC)

Retrograde Episode One
Silvac pointed us towards Retrograde Episode One - it's a Halo CE-based machinima about a solitary man suffering in lonliness. Interesting start! (Louis Wu 17:23:20 UTC)
