Pro Tips with TSquared
Looks like earlier this month, G4TV's X-Play started a feature in which MLG's TSquared provides tips about various multiplayer maps. So far they've posted Blackout (May 6), Ghost Town (May 13), and Foundry (May 20). We'll have to keep an eye on this! (Louis Wu 13:15:25 UTC)

Happy Easter, Marty.
So, yesterday's news of a brand-new egg in Halo 3 got me thinking... what if there are more? Well, there are. Lots of people know about the Seige of Madrigal egg at the top of the structure at the end of the Covenant level... but did you know that there's ANOTHER egg on the OTHER side of that same structure? (Same location, but on the right, instead of the left.) This one wasn't found before now, it seems, because there is a time factor in the trigger; if you stand in the right location, you can hear a number of computer-generated voice clips, but they don't start for two or three minutes after you arrive (and each additional one takes ANOTHER two or three minutes). I've made a short movie showing the location of the trigger (and the various clips you can hear) - grab it in WMP9 (14 mb) or QuickTime (11 mb) formats. Judging from the content of the clips, this one looks to be aimed at Marty O'Donnell... by the audio crew. Hi, Marty! (Louis Wu 17:26:52 UTC)

Halo Wars Update
This month's Halo Wars Update is now online at HaloWars.com - info about the Alpha (including LIVE play), a mention of an article in this month's GamePro mag, some tidbits about the Campaign, and a higher-res version of the screenshot that was mentioned in our news this week. Omega was first with the word. (Louis Wu 22:01:51 UTC)

While ZZoMBiE13 is on a break, Another Halo Comic Strip will have some guest strips running. The first one is up now - Thanks to Keith Jones for a fantastic start. (Comments are, and will be, disabled for guest strips, by design; if you want to discuss these, you can use our forum.) (Louis Wu 17:03:23 UTC)

When did YOU start cheating?
ab1 noticed an article on the Hitwise blog (aimed at internet marketing) discussing trends of game-related searches, specifically looking at release dates and cheat searches. Halo 3 is used as a prime example. Looks like a lot of folks actually play the game first, and don't start looking for cheats for at least a week... (Louis Wu 13:31:39 UTC)

Halo Wars - a new screen?
Psychophan7 noticed an article at Kotaku discussing a claim at GamerCenterOnline.net that they'd put up 3 new shots from Halo Wars. Two of the three shots are quite old (the Sparrowhawk shot was first released in March 2007, and the ridgeline with Banshees comes from the original Halo Wars cinematic trailer released in September 2006)... which makes me a bit suspicious about the third shot. I can't find a source for it... but it looks 'old' to me. If we get confirmation, either that this is a new shot or that this is old, we'll update this news post. Update: Thanks to Mr Sprout, over at Halo Wars Central, for pointing out that that third shot is, indeed, old. (Louis Wu 13:59:40 UTC)

The Riot 98
Sigafoos wrote to say that The Riot 98 is now online - 23 minutes, 9 mb, full (of course) of community talk, deal of the day websites, and (not so expected) 'foos drinking hot sauce on the video show. Which you couldn't watch live, because they forgot to press record at the start of the show. (And which you really have to hunt for, because there is no friggin' link to the video stuff on their front page, or in the show updates. n00bs.) (Louis Wu 15:06:10 UTC)

Republican Space Rangers
A million and one people are pointing out the TV show 'Republican Space Rangers', an egg of sorts in GTA4. (It's one of the shows available on the TV in your room.) gunluva started a thread about it a couple of days ago, and opinions range from 'it's obviously a total parody of Halo' to 'it has nothing at all to do with Halo'. (Personally, I'm leaning towards the "not so much" end of that spectrum. The marines wear armor that bears a superficial resemblance to Mjolnir armor, and there IS an obvious tip o' the hat to Halo with the ring-shaped environment shown at one point... but past that, nothing.) In any case, it's now been duly noted, so you can stop sending email, okay? (Louis Wu 11:25:55 UTC)

Halo Screen Shots - new code, and a new home
Sorahn's Halo Screen Shots is a great place to store your Bungie.net screenshots - all the thumbs show up on a single page, there's no rigamarole involved in viewing the large versions, and you can see many collections quickly. And now, Halo Screen Shots is part of the bungie.org family - we're hosting them. (This doesn't mean their old hosting was unreliable - it simply means that as long as we're around, they have a home.) If you haven't visited, now's a good time! We've added a random screen, along with some statistics on the collection, to our Spotlight box over on the right; keep an eye on the growth! (Louis Wu 18:11:15 UTC)

Their armor's too strong for blasters!
It's not the first AT-AT built with Forge - but it looks to be one of the most playable. Lucifer7 dropped off a bunch of screenshots of his latest project - a fully-playable Star Wars-style AT-AT, on Avalanche. Lots of cool little details - read the post! (Louis Wu 14:48:03 UTC)

Halotography
Destructoid noticed a Flickr stream of Halo screenshots, enhanced to be more photorealistic - the creator, joshuadamon, felt that his work, which he calls 'Halotography', gives "a much needed breath of fresh air to Halo". Whether or not you agree with that statement, the pictures are absolutely worth a look - great job! (Louis Wu 23:19:43 UTC)

Hints of Bungie's next Halo title?
Solidly in the 'rumor' category, 1UP.com has some gossip it's pushing from Quartermann's Rumor Mill:
[W]e've heard rumblings that the first one will be a Halo spin-off due in late 2009. Our spies tell us to expect a third-person action/adventure shooter hybrid that takes place before the original Halo, chronicling early skirmishes between the ODST troops and the Covenant. This may or may not be the oft-mentioned "Peter Jackson Halo Project" -- though apparently Microsoft is hiring a seperate team for that -- but WETA is definitely involved in some capacity. Look for a massive reveal around the time Gears of War 2 ships this fall...
Bungie HAS been really busy of late - but this is the first I've heard of a "third-person action/adventure shooter hybrid". Don't get all excited yet - it may turn out to be true, or it may turn out to be a bit of undigested beef. (I found this in my Google Alerts mailbox, but I just checked the forum, and it looks like Red_Breast started a thread about it about an hour ago.) (Louis Wu 14:03:49 UTC)

When Missiles Go Rogue
PaulMc's friend was playing on Valhalla, and took a shot at a Banshee with his missile pod, from pretty close range. He missed, the Banshee boosted in and splattered him. Pretty standard, right? Well... the missile ALMOST got a lock... so it decided it was gonna follow that Banshee after all. The 'shee had headed for the enemy base, looking to see what it could hit... the missile caught up to it as it rounded the spire. It started down for the kill... and then it found a new target. This one was moving more slowly, perhaps, or maybe it was the peanut-butter coating on the Elite armor. We'll never know. The missile flew into the ground behind the running Elite that had just spawned, killing him. The cool part? That running Elite was PaulMc's friend, back from purgatory just in time to be killed by his own missile. Check this post for HD download links of the 24-second film clip, if you don't want to download the Fileshare'd Saved Film Paul put up. This one needs a special medal, I think...

Inside Halo 13
Whoa, that was quick. Inside Halo 13 is now online - The Dead Pixel shows off some cool screens, details a new request for submissions (you'll have to watch it yourself for specifics), executes some mailbag hijinx, and gives you a taste of the endtimes. Go watch! Thanks, Adam Kovic. (Louis Wu 20:12:10 UTC)

Pretty Pictures
I've said it before - we're not going to get into the habit of front-paging every screenshot (or screenshot collection) that comes to our attention; the risk of being flooded is too great, and there are already great places to see cool screenshots (try I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots or haloscreenshots.net, for example). However, there are occasionally collections posted on our forum that I like a lot - Leviathan stopped by this morning with a handful that are pretty cool. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:27:09 UTC)
