Uncharted artist comes to Bungie
Split-Screen has an article about Rob Adams - he's the Senior Environment Artist on Halo Reach. If you're wondering what his bona fides are... he was Lead Environment Artist on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune before this. Some pretty nice artwork in that game... portends well for Reach! Thanks, Domino Theory. Update: urk pointed out that not only did Bungie.net highlight Rob Adams' existence at Bungie in a January Breaking In article, he managed to do it with a TON of Uncharted references. There's nothing in there about Reach, of course (it was written 4 months before Reach was announced) - but I still lose points for forgetting. (Louis Wu 20:51:52 UTC)

ODST making new friends
CaptainTony pointed out a bit of ODST fanart he discovered at the Military Photos forum - done by someone who wasn't much of a Halo fan before ODST was announced. Pretty cool! (Louis Wu 13:00:40 UTC)

Halo Reach footage at TGS? Not likely.
Yesterday, over at NeoGAF, Domino Theory stumbled across a newspost from Gamezine.co.uk that suggested that new Halo Reach footage would debut at the Tokyo Game Show (September 24-27). Everyone got excited until SketchFactor informed the board that Bungie neither created this footage, nor knew of its existence. Bummer! (Louis Wu 10:16:02 UTC)

RC Warthog in Action
mr.sci-fi dropped in to announce he'd created a short video review of the NKOK radio-controlled Warthog - the video quality's not the greatest, but you can get a sense for how it moves, and what its limitations are.

ManKitten's 5th Annual Halo Treasure Hunt: Solved
I didn't even get a chance to post a front-page note for the clues ManKitten posted last night for his Treasure Hunt - there was a message this morning declaring that pete_the_duck had successfully solved the hunt. Although no prizes were announced at the start (it was all for fun), ManKitten is sending along a McFarlane Hunter model - nice!

Morpheus closes multiple contests
Morpheus has closed his multikill contest (we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago); you can swing by that forum post and vote for your favorite option. He's ALSO closed his 'Recon Challenge' contest (play through Halo 3's campaign as slowly as possible) - do NOT send in new entries after this point. (Resubmissions from existing submitters can be re-sent until the 10th.) If you have questions, you can email him (email is linked at the top of his forum posts). Winners will be announced on the 15th.

Halo3 ODST Rookie Figure
Bigsauce got his hands on some early Halo 3 ODST action figures from McFarlane (Front (2048x1536, 689k) | Back (2048x1536, 688k) | out of packaging (2048x1536, 689k)) - if you'd like to buy one yourself, he's offering three on eBay. Another interesting tidbit for collectors - the back of the card shows off a Spartan Mark IV (from the Halo Wars collection) - this hasn't been announced by McFarlane yet. (Louis Wu 18:59:13 UTC)

Wild French ODST - a followup
Kotaku got a bit more information out of Microsoft about the French ODST leak we mentioned Wednesday. Looks like there might have been a 'small breach' in the distribution process. They confirmed that they "will take action against those [they] believe have procured copies of the game illegitimately." (It's unclear how you can consider the purchase of a game at a retail outlet 'illegitimate'... but maybe they're not talking about those guys.) Requests for clarification of the MS France announcement CaLL Me ZeNy posted (stating that those caught playing before the release date would be banned from LIVE) were met with 'no comment'. Update: a further clarification today says Microsoft will NOT be banning 'legitimate customers'. That's much more reasonable. (Louis Wu 11:24:44 UTC)

We're responsible for global warming, too.
In the wake of the announcement that Future Publishing will be bringing you a World of Warcraft magazine, deftangel wonders about the possibility of a Halo magazine at some point. (His conclusion: it won't happen, and we're to blame.) Read the article, and comment either directly there or on his HBO forum post with your own opinions! (Louis Wu 17:08:36 UTC)

Top THAT!
Two Top 10 acronym vids for you, courtesy of the BungLog™:
- Anoj is back with Episode 39 of his Top 10 Halo 3 Series - this one focuses on WTF moments. Laaaaag...
- Kampy's Multi-Kills are the subject of the latest Ten FTW vid - I think the announcer might need some throat tea after this one.
Twenty clips, 12 mintues. Go watch. (Louis Wu 17:07:12 UTC)

Killakatari, dude.
Morpheus announced a little contest on our forum - he's looking for names for the next three multikills in the Halo universe (after Killpocalypse (9) and Killionaire (10)). Can you come up with cool names for 11, 12, and 13 kills? Winner gets a 1600 point card. Read his post for full rules.

Halo Evolutions: Essential Tales of the Halo Universe
Whoa. This press release announces a book that (as far as I know) has had ZERO press up to this point - 'Halo: Evolutions' looks to be a short story collection with contributors that include veteran Halo novelists Eric Nylund and Tobias Buckell, Bungie employee Robt McLees, and Halo newcomer Karen Traviss (she's got plenty of videogame/sci-fi writing experience under her belt; Gears of War fiction, Star Wars fiction, and original stuff by the score). There are 'a number of other writers', as well - but no word at this point who they are. This book is scheduled for a November 2009 release. (Louis Wu 19:18:16 UTC)

RumorBusting - It's not just for breakfast any more
Kombo.com has posted a shot of the back of the Halo 3: ODST box... and is speculating that the inclusion of 'content download' blurb in the features section could point to something unrevealed... like multiplayer or campaign content. Remember, Bungie's already announced TWO different types of DLC for Halo 3: ODST - the Johnson skin for Firefight, and the Halo Reach Beta. There might be more... but there might not. As recently as last week, Lars Bakken told French journalists that Bungie has no plans for downloadable maps for ODST. (Louis Wu 18:43:14 UTC)
