Pete Cooper stopped in this morning to unveil the latest – and last – piece of concept art for the ‘Operation Chastity’ project. These pieces are so spectacular, we’ve collected them to make a small gallery; they deserve close attention. Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 19:22:46 UTC)

Goodies via the Bungie Blog: ‘First Contact’ is a Halo machinima with some great graphics and a taut story. The date work could use a little help, but mostly, this is top-notch.

New comics released today: we heard from TTL Demag0gue that Reclaimer 148 (“Veil”) is live – and Ferial runs up against more than he expected. We also heard from Rob Tracy, who pointed out that the last of the Halo/Grifball comics (“GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL”) went live at Remedial comics today. (He also mentioned that his thoughts on…

The Halo 1 Tricking continues apace. Latest cool trick: slYnki has managed to get a Scorpion Tank onto one of AotCR’s suspension bridges. A trick long thought to be impossible… now on film! I heard about this one from lots of people – Dark Helmet even posted it in our forum.(Louis Wu 13:34:37 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has kicked off a community eValentine project – create a cool Halo-themed eCard you can give to a loved one, send it along to Hawty, and she’ll publish it on Friday.

Worth a read, if you’re considering building maps! It also contains every Forge object that will be available in Sandbox – and the list includes…

Anton P. Nym noticed that Halo Wars got a review at CTV.ca – it’s pretty positive. Take a look. (Louis Wu 13:22:15 UTC)

Spawn.com likes to make mini-sites for their collections of action figures; they’ve already done one for the Halo 3 Series 1 and Halo 3 Series 2 (never frontpaged here) figures.
