Wow. The Zune giveaway was announced just 3 hours ago, and already we have 31 people registered to be able to submit, and two actual submissions. Just wanted to remind everyone, the submission deadline is June 10 – over two weeks from today. There’s ab…

The Bungie Weekly Update is (predictably, in the middle of the Halo 3 Beta test) all about the Halo 3 Beta test. Good stuff. Go read! (It’s here, too, of course, in the Weekly Update Archive.) Looks like LoneRanger 2.5 got to it, finally. (He got it w…

Don’t say we never gave you anything… you know those cool Zunes with the Halo art and the movies and the other stuff? Thanks to Bungie, we’ve got a bunch of ’em to give away – and we want you to have one! (And you, and you, and you too.) All you’ve g…

Halomega’s changed to Halownage, and to kick off the change, they’re got a clip of hte week with a $25 reward. (Warning – that thread is not safe for work.) They’ve also got a 1v1 montage and H3 gameplays.(Louis Wu 19:06:28 UTC)

Everybody loves lists – MSNBC has the top 5 first-person shooter weapons (thanks, a paramedic); Halo’s Pistol makes it in… and GamePro looks at the 11 Worst Trends in Video Games (thanks, SG); Halo’s in there for 4 of ’em.(Louis Wu 18:25:55 UTC)

We got word from trigger119 that there’s lots of new content at GamingTV.org; there’s a Director’s Cut of blackouTT’s Hemisphere, a video called ‘Snowblind’ showing Halo 3 Beta gameplay from blackouTT as well, and a new section being fleshed out – Mov…

Paul Maestri has found a way to look on the bright side of the Spartan Laser (if you aren’t holding it yourself) – made me laugh. Check out Halo Heads #59.(Louis Wu 18:08:15 UTC)

One of the new Matchmaking features you can experience in the Halo 3 Beta is the ability for a group to veto a map. What happens when you expand this idea? Check today’s One One Se7en for an answer.(Louis Wu 15:47:54 UTC)

Devrous has posted FS2H Tour Video #1, which (as you might expect from the name) is a tour of some of the assets in his Freespace 2 Halo mod. Looking great! (Louis Wu 15:18:19 UTC)

Last night, JAY132 stopped by to say he’d gotten a banshee into space. What does that mean? Well, it means Bungie bothered to make the sky above Valhalla high enough that if you actually GET there (which you’re really not ever supposed to do), you can…

Busy week in the Fan Fiction section – 14 new entries. (Including a scary film script from Dave Luck.) Go read.(Louis Wu 14:57:28 UTC)

Okay, he’s getting out of control – Mid7night posted a new X-Plane import… a Warthog. THAT’S NOT A PLANE! Check it out.(Louis Wu 14:37:57 UTC)

HookMeUpImLocal stopped by to post the latest acronym from Bungie – this one’s on the Halo 2 Vista box, and reads ‘DTARAGS’. He’s got some ideas about what some of the letters stand for – go see what you can add!(Louis Wu 14:30:08 UTC)

You might remember Gravemind – when he decides to analyze a subject, he doesn’t hold back. (There was the Halo2/Halo comparison and a look at the graphical evolution of Halo, among others.) He’s back – and this time, he’s set his sites on the Halo 3 Be…

WolfSavior was the first to point us to an article at Gamespot about the projected financial impact of Halo 3 on Microsoft’s bottom line… Goldman-Sachs seems to be suggesting that Halo 3’s earnings in the first 5 days of release should be somewhere …

So the really big news in the Halo community this morning appeared on the Next Generation site yesterday – an email from a Microsoft representative read, in part,It has come to our attention that an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes par…
