    Bungie.net’s posted another Halo 3 Humpday writeup – a 2v2 match of old guys vs young, fit (well, okay, young) contractors.

    elessar787 noticed a comment by Ninja 0n Fire on the Bungie.net forums – looks like Team Brutes is disappearing from the BTB Slayer playlist when Matchmaking playlists are next updated (which, according to last week’s BWU, should be in the next couple of weeks).

    What’s the most accurate thing you can think of? Probably this laser. The answer is a weapon so versatile it can snipe infantry or fry vehicles. It even makes coffee at a thousand yards. It is the Spartan Laser, the heavily-censored subject of KP’s latest treatise on the weapons and vehicles in Halo 3.

    The big news this morning is the Bungie.net article on the Spartan Laser, posted last night. Even censored as it is, it’s chock-full of tasty morsels, not just about the Spartan Laser, but about the upcoming world of Halo 3.
