    The Thunderstorm skull is found the the level, The Covenant . It turns all grunts into spec-op grunts (I forget if it increases the rank of brutes and jackals but I doubt it does).

    Interesting – FirstShowing.net has news of a new Peter Jackson/Neill Blomkamp project, called ‘District 9’ – a live-action sci-fi flick. FS suggests that this might be a way to stir up interest in the Halo project again… not a bad theory. Thanks, Anton P. Nym.(Louis Wu 17:10:18 UTC)

    Good stuff over at Rampancy.net – there’s a new episode of the Anger, Sadness, and Envy podcast, and there’s a new page for the Weapon Guide – this one covers the Halo 3 Pistol. The podcast covers Crow’s Nest, but spends a lot of time discussing voice actors and acting. (Louis Wu 17:00:40 UTC)

    InAmb3rClad let us know (with not inconsiderable scorn) that someone is selling the service of beating two levels of Halo 3 on Legendary – all you have to do is pass along your gamertag and password, and then once he’s finished, you can recover it. Before you jump in on this one, read this timely…
