High Score Halo
Cody Miller announced the opening of High Score Halo, a subsite of High Speed Halo whereby you can win fame and accolades (or at least your initials on a cool retro high score list) by garnering the most points in a Halo 3 campaign run. Go see! (Louis Wu 15:40:52 UTC)

Blackout - From Venezuela, with Love
The third map in the Legendary DLC pack has been announced over on Bungie.net - Blackout is a straight-up remake of Lockout. (For all you people screaming that this was going to be Lockout - you were right. Doesn't make the faked magazine cover any more real, however...) Paul Russell, Dan Miller, Blake Low and Allen Murray discuss how this map came about, what's changed from its Halo 2 predecessor, and why the entire structure is not on the back of a llama. Go read! (High-res pics are in the B.net gallery, as well.) (Louis Wu 18:47:57 UTC)

Pre-Game Lobby: O Hai
On our forum, Harabek announced a new machinima series: Pre-Game Lobby. Interesting bunch of characters, an ongoing Matchmaking-based storyline. This first episode is 19 minutes long, viewable on YouTube in two parts, or downloadable from Filefront in hi-res (almost 300 mb). This one shows potential! (Louis Wu 11:43:00 UTC)

MLG/ESPN Halo 3 Top Ten #2
synide stopped by to announce that the second MLG/ESPN Top Ten is now live - you gotta see these clips. They're all downloadable on from the 'MLG Video' fileshare, so you can watch 'em in hi-def... but Chris Puckett's commentary is classic. Go watch! (Louis Wu 11:16:51 UTC)

Halo Custom Edition Mod Contest
Wave of Lag stopped by to announce that h2vista.net is running a mod contest; as part of the High Res Halo project (bringing a total graphical overhaul to Halo 1, via Halo Custom Edition), they're building an enormous map originally designed by Mrs Doublefire (who went on to work for Bungie). It's got a lot of space - so they're looking for help filling it. Enter your 'detail object' models, and win both a place in the map, and possibly cash. (More details in the post.)

Halo 3 in WCG 2008
Halo was a part of the World Cyber Games in 2003, 2004, and 2005 - but they dropped it in 2006 and 2007. (2001 and 2002 were PC-only competitions; Halo wasn't even eligible.) It's back now - Halo 3 was announced yesterday as one of the fourteen games (four console titles) in WCG 2008. Nice! (We mentioned the possibility in October, good to see it's panned out.)

X-Play's Sarkathlon - Results
We've made a couple of mentions of the obstacle course set up by Mr Sark, over at G4TV (when it was announced, and about halfway through); Thursday, final results were posted, and I'd have to say High Impact Halo played an enormous role. One of the three honorable mentions hails from there... as well as first and second place runners in the actual competition. Congrats to all winners! (Louis Wu 19:11:36 UTC)

Punch it. Get us close.
I posted this last night, but forgot to mention it; we'll probably be posting another one later today, so I wanted to get this announced: Field Expedient is now available in HD in the Halo 2 Cutscene Library. Mirrors, as always, include Infectionist Machinima and Wraith-Ops. (Louis Wu 12:15:58 UTC)

Problems
Sometimes Mondays are comic-heavy, even in this post-Stuntmutt age - today is one of those Mondays. TTL Demag0gue stopped by to apologize for the downtime, promise that it probably won't happen again soon, and announce that Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Ten is now up. He's adjusted the look, and would like some feedback... he's also brought both Viper squads together for the first time! (Louis Wu 15:14:21 UTC)

I'm hosting a 'take out my garbage' contest.
Blinding stopped by to announce a 'Forging Contest' - he's looking for a Forged map he can use to make machinima, and (for now, at least), the winner will get to have their map used in a Halo 3 machinima. (Eventually, if he makes enough money from Google's AdSense, he'll offer other goodies - but for now, it's the pride of winning.) Read all the details, including what he needs, in his forum post.
