Gamespot disses Halo 3
December 30th, 2007
Avi Levin let us know that Gamespot has posted their Editor's Choices for their Game of the Year Awards, and Halo didn't win anything it was nominated for. (That includes Multiplayer, Shooter, 360 Game, and GotY, as well as the Bungie Microsoft split for Biggest News.) Ouch!(Louis Wu 21:40:05 UTC)

December 30th, 2007
Z let us know about a Halo 3 gameplay montage from Luck is Taken - it's about seven and a half minutes long, and weighs in at 171 mb. Plenty of sticks and snipes - but lots of other weapons too. Take a look.(Louis Wu 21:30:55 UTC)
Recon Armor – worth stealing accounts for
December 30th, 2007
A pro gamer who was awarded Recon armor by Bungie for a pretty cool suicide he filmed has had his account stolen by a jerk who wanted the armor. The story on Joystiq suggests his account was 'hacked', but if you read the thread on Team vBi's forum, it becomes clear that the account was stolen by someone who called up Xbox Customer Support and somehow convinced the person on the other end of the phone that the account belonged to him, and that certain info needed changing. Having had my own personal run-ins with tech support over there, I find this totally believable - and I'm curious to see how this turns out. Hopefully, the upshot will be better phone security for Xbox Live accounts down the road.(Louis Wu 21:24:37 UTC)
Epic Machinima Trailer
December 30th, 2007
AnTi PRO, from Arm The Flag, let us knwo about a trailer for their upcoming movie, 'Epic Machinima'. I'ts a spoof of every overdone idea in machinima, all in one place. You can find download links (and comment on the project) in this HaloGrid thread.(Louis Wu 21:14:55 UTC)
Trolling the web, so you don’t have to
December 30th, 2007
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!(Louis Wu 21:10:22 UTC)

It was a very good year
December 29th, 2007
Today's episode of Another Halo Comic Strip isn't NSFW... but it's close. Still... I like it. And it WAS a very good year. That's it for AHCS until 2008!(Louis Wu 11:45:40 UTC)
Falling Sand Challenge
December 29th, 2007
Ouch. So a couple of days ago, gunluva brought a challenge from the Falling Sands Game forum - some Halo lovers over there wanted to challenge HBO regulars to a few rounds of Halo. Apparently, they're better at the Falling Sand Game than Halo - the HBO team (made up of gunluva, Major Silva, and Spartan Jag) went 5-0 in the competition. Congrats, guys!(Louis Wu 11:39:44 UTC)

Wow, awesome. If you're on the right list, apparently, you get a giant chocolate Master Chief from Microsoft. Now THAT'S pretty. Thanks, Peronthious.(Louis Wu 11:31:26 UTC)
McFarlane Series 2 – Arbiter Pics
December 29th, 2007
There are some great pics of McFarlane's rendition of the Arbiter over at Kotaku - this figure won't be for sale until June, but you can see what it'll look like now. I'd agree with Luke Plunkett's assessment - those feet are HUGE. (These are, of course, also available at their home site, Spawn.com - it's just that I found them first at Kotaku.)(Louis Wu 11:18:27 UTC)
