Day Two of 1Up’s massive Halo 3 coverage is now up – a post-mortem interview with Tyson Green and Lars Bakken about what was learned from the beta, a quick look at Guardian and Last Resort, and a blog entry that looks back at Halo 1. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 21:44:19 UTC)

Tech demonstration. HALO 3 campaign videos from GC07. Cool factor.

Halo Grammar
This is something that had driven me crazy for too long and I have to get this out of my system. It’s dual wielding, not duel wielding. Plural for Mongoose is Mongooses, not mongeese, not mongoose. Let me know if you guys have any other beefs.

Yes, I know it sounds strange, but the wireless racing wheel is only wireless in regards to how it communicates with the 360. You need to plug it into the wall to experience the surprisingly strong force feedback…

Avateur (and Menelven) point out that over at Gamersyde, there’s a shakeycam version of Neil Blomkamp’s second Halo live-action short. This one shows combat between ODSTs and Brutes, and I’m guessing it was shown (and filmed) at Leipzig this week. As w…
