    Over at halowiki.net, there’s an article from XyonsWrath about ‘The Crazy Method’ – it’s a description of a strategy that has a good chance of working against your average Matchmaking opponents. As someone who ‘acts crazy’ a lot, I can see where this is useful! Thanks, PEZ.(Louis Wu 13:24:25 UTC)

    Interesting article at 1Up.com – Luke Smith reports that according to Phil Spenser, Head of Game Development for Microsoft Game Studios, Microsoft would like to spread Bungie’s matchmaking code around to most (all?) first-party 360 games; the reason it didn’t make it into Gears of War was a timing issue, not a code protection one.…

    I’m way too uncool to even know what that means, but that’s how Frankie described Halo 3 in an interview with Eurogamer. On a more intelligible note, he also said: Well, we haven’t lost a single [new] weapon thus far, but we’ve improved a few. Our test process is simple. Play it, play it some…

    PEZ wrote to point out that halowiki.net has no information about Quick Scoping (a technique which takes advantage of the built-in auto-aim by scoping just as you fire) – but there are plenty of Halo players out there that understand it really well. If you’re one of them, swing by halowiki and add your own…
