You got Halo in my Political Protest!
So both DeGrouch, on our forum, and Richard Beer, via email, let us know about a new video from Greenpeace... but for different reasons. DeGrouch pointed out that the Master Chief makes an appearance, 11 seconds in. Richard Beer felt that the entire thing was inspired by the Halo 3 Believe diorama. Either way, watching it will give you a sense for why Greenpeace wants you to convince LEGO to break off their partnership with Shell Oil. (No, that part's not Halo-related.) (Louis Wu 18:22:10 UTC)

Nightfall Wraps Up Shooting in Iceland
SegmentNext noticed an article on an Icelandic site that mentions that filming has completed on Halo: Nightfall, the digital series to launch with the Master Chief Collection. The Google translation of the original Icelandic is lacking, a bit... but with a little effort, you can get the gist of the quotes from Kiki Wolfkill (who is renamed "Kiki Kill Wolf" by the translator) - Iceland is beautiful, it's worked its way into the personality of the film, and even non-Halo fans will enjoy the final product. There will be more info revealed about Nightfall this month at San Diego ComicCon. (Louis Wu 15:26:56 UTC)

To (1080)p or not to (1080)p
Over at Inquisitr, there's a summary of a post Frank O'Connor made on NeoGAF recently - he was explaining why the E3 shots of Halo 2 Anniversary weren't a full 1080p. It seems that the build we saw earlier this month was only 900p, because the second frame buffer (the one that allows you to be able to switch back and forth between original and new graphics) is eating a bunch of the available resources. They're still planning for the final version to be 1080p - but there aren't any promises. (All OTHER products in the Master Chief Collection are 1080p; it's just H2A that has this issue.) The article spawned a discussion on our own forum (thanks, Moorpheusl9) with some pretty firm convictions being expressed... go throw your own two cents in! (Remember, though, that the goal, in November, is an H2A running at 1080p - so keep in mind you're discussing ideas, not facts.) (Louis Wu 20:38:47 UTC)
