Halo: FTW
zugy pointed out a mod for Halo PC that basically reskins every level. Halo: FTW is (mostly) the work of Pepsi and Nessa, and adds shiny new textures to each level of the game. The HaloMods forum post contains a billion screenshots, or you can watch a fly-through movie for more dynamic info. (Louis Wu 14:56:16 UTC)

Could Halo 3 have been as good as we wanted it to be?
1UP Features Editor Jeremy Parish, has been posting his personal Top 7 games of 2007, and a couple of days ago he listed Halo 3 as Number 6. What makes this news is the insightful way he's chosen to pin down the hurdles Halo 3 faced before it even hit the stands. His discussion of the story presentation, too, might help you to focus your thoughts about how good a job Bungie did (or didn't do) to bring the Halo universe to its fans this time around. There's more good discussion in the comments following his article, and more still in the thread on our forum started by LoneRanger 2.5. (Once again, I'm struck by the absolutist terms a lot of posters use when ranting on the internet... but if you look beyond the hyperbole, there are many decent points made.) (Louis Wu 13:51:45 UTC)

Halo 3 Spitfire
deftangel found a video which appears on YouTube, GameVideos, and Mythica.org. It's a montage - but it's not like any montage I've ever seen. It was created by UnfilteredNoise (his YouTube handle)/krushedNsorted (his GameVideos/1UP handle), and although the music grates strongly on my nerves, the camerawork is amazing. It's not about awesome snipes, or triple kills, or unreal sticks - it's about Halo gameplay, shown in such a way that you just want to pick up a controller and start playing. Go watch. (The YouTube version is crap; download the higher-res version from Mythica or GameVideos.) (Louis Wu 19:22:47 UTC)

Trolling the web, so you don't have to
Hawty McBloggy has a whole bunch of goodies to show you; starting off, there's a Master Chief helmet created in Forge. (I thought I'd seen this before - but I can't find it in our news.) Then, she mentions an auction for an item she does NOT want you bidding on - because she wants it. Finally, she points out an auction for a custom Halo 3 Guitar Hero III for the 360. Nice!

MLC Armor - the underpinnings
Xavier sent us a few 'preview' shots of MLC's fiberglass armor under construction; they start here, and run through leg pieces and the assault rifle. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 12:47:07 UTC)

Halo: Last Resort
Spartan 501 created a standalone comic (in the 'filter a screenshot' style) telling the story of a lone ODST Helljumper. The text is a little hard to read... but there's a lot of work here! The entire series is hosted (41 images, over 150 panels) at Photobucket.

Dean's Top Ten
Dean Takahashi posted his Top Ten Games of 2007 - Halo 3 came in #3 (he said the only reason it wasn't first was because of originality, and "that's the problem when you're building off such a solid base from the earlier games." Yeah, Bungie, next time start with crap, okay?

The Fine Art of Suiciding
Heh - this is pretty cool; Evlmidget25 built a Foundry map in which he and a plasma grenade start at the same point, take entirely different paths, and end at the same point. It's a pretty complicated suicide. Check it out! (Louis Wu 12:10:49 UTC)

Halo 3 Stats on your iPhone
appSafari.com has a small web app you can use to check your Halo 3 Stats from your iPhone. Take a look! (You can use it from any browser, actually, but it's formatted nicely to fit an iPhone screen.) Update: Rob, from myedgenet, wanted us to clarify that the app was not created by appSafari, but by him. (I thought it was pretty clear that appSafari was just an aggregator, but maybe not.)

Fiberglass Armor - with construction notes
A few days ago, we mentioned some fiberglass-based Halo armor, being created by MLC. We've been sent some higher-res pictures to start a collection here, and will add to it as the armor takes shape. For now, check out the helmet, along with notes on how it was created! Thanks, Xavier. (Louis Wu 19:34:45 UTC)

More lady spartans for sale
You might remember a custom female Spartan figure for sale on eBay back around the time Halo 3 launched; the artist is back, with two new versions. One's pink and one's green; they've got different weapons this time out, and they're missing the fishnet tops... but beyond that, they look pretty similar. Bidding starts at $159, you've got a few days. Thanks, bs angel! (Louis Wu 19:13:34 UTC)

You've got some cliché on your shirt
Today's episode of Another Halo Comic Strip started life as a joke about the ongoing writers strike, but thanks to my highfalutin influence, it's degraded into sexual humor. Stick with me, ZZoMBiE13, you can't go wrong. (Louis Wu 19:05:21 UTC)

Just a reminder...
You've got about 32 hours left to submit your wicked-cool screenshot to our Seven on the Seven(teen)th contest (though, I must tell you, if you describe it as 'wicked-cool', we will not only disqualify it, we will hunt you down and kill you) - don't you want some DLC lovin'? (Louis Wu 21:08:19 UTC)

Halo makes people spend big
Hawty McBloggy wrote up her experience at the Childs Play Charity Dinner Auction a couple of nights ago - her focus was on the Halo-related items, of which there were many for sale. A chance to use Bungie's 'Flaming Helmet' armor on Xbox Live went for $740, a bag of schwag (along with Recon armor) went for over $5000. All the proceeds went to Child's Play, the charity started by the Penny Arcade crew to bring games (and smiles) to hospitalized kids everywhere. Go read about it all! (Louis Wu 21:15:35 UTC)

Prophecy Episode 1
Lordstemplar1 let us know that Prophecy Episode 1: The Threshold of War has been posted on the 508th Brigade. Biggest complaint seems to be the rather long credits section (about 3 minutes, right in the middle of the movie), but other than that... it's a pretty impressive piece of work. Nice CGI work, good voice acting, an intriguing story... this one has a lot going for it! Check it out. (Louis Wu 03:07:13 UTC)

The Riot 77
Sigafoos let us know that The RIot 77 (!!) is now available for download. 31 minutes, 12.5 mb. Community news, predictions, and odd commercials from across the pond. The video show will run constantly today, then will alternate between this week's and last week's show starting tomorrow. (Louis Wu 02:42:30 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update, Spartan Soccer
First off, apologies for the sparse updating; I'm out of town, and free time is rarer than I'd expected. Let's barrel through the biggest new stuff for you. As expected, there was a Bungie Weekly Update last night (available, as always, in our Weekly Update Archive as well) - reminders of things to come, a summary of Live playlists changes you'll see over the next month (starting next week), and more info about the DLC maps coming on Tuesday. There's also a link to another story on Bungie.net - SketchFactor wrote up a piece on the Spartan Soccer game that a number of press and fansites saw last week. Beyond the intriguing game itself, the article shows you some of the potential you can expect from Foundry... and from playing games in Forge. Go read both of these! (Louis Wu 11:31:36 UTC)
