Year: 2009

Hawty McBloggy let us know about a new community project she’s started up over at Halo3Screenshots.com – Halo Historic Scenes. Build a famous scene within Halo… what can you think of? (The example pic shows the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, but there are plenty of other options. What can you come up…

Leviathan and UNSC Trooper are back with Page 2 of their Ghosts of Onyx Preview – and this time, Leviathan’s included a step-by-step timeline showing how the work was created. Pretty cool stuff (and a great Page 2)! Check it out.(Louis Wu 20:00:31 UTC)

OboeCrazy sent us links to her newest offering – a sniper montage, cleverly disguised as an ad for Joe Jim Bob’s Sniper Superstore. Fun footage, nicely packaged! You can stream it at YouTube or WeGame (WeGame also has a 300mb HD download available).(Louis Wu 18:47:52 UTC)

Kombo.com has posted a shot of the back of the Halo 3: ODST box… and is speculating that the inclusion of ‘content download’ blurb in the features section could point to something unrevealed… like multiplayer or campaign content. Remember, Bungie’s already announced TWO different types of DLC for Halo 3: ODST – the Johnson skin…

NeoGAF’s Kibbles ran across a couple of videos recorded by fans at the Sydney event this week – this one has an intro by Curtis Creamer, and then the opening custscene of the game… and this one shows off the first level’s gameplay. (All of this has been seen before – but whenever you watch…

Hopefully it’s not too late to remind you that it’s August 7, which means Bungie’s running its special 7 on the 7th playlist on Xbox LIVE – and this month, it’s full of community-formed maps. What are you waiting for? Get online! (Eazy’s map doesn’t suck.)(Louis Wu 18:06:22 UTC)

It’s been a little while since the last Aesthetic Artist Interview… but the series is back, with a mole. TheMoleN1, to be precise. Go read about how he got into this business… and check out a huge collection of his work! Thanks to COL0NEL SANDERS for the interview work this time out.(Louis Wu 17:58:34 UTC)

Back in April, 2008, we took over the hosting of Haloscreenshots.net, sorahn’s handy-dandy screenshot collection site. At the time, it was a 20GB package – I don’t remember how many screens were there, but it wasn’t that many. Fast forward 15 months… and this beast is half a million screenshots, 130GB in size. It’s beginning…

GivinTats built an entire Halo world… for his fish. You can read about the construction, and check out his Flickr stream showing off the work, on Bungie.net. Lucky fish!(Louis Wu 17:38:49 UTC)

Friday afternoon’s video roundup on the BungLog™Rogue Modder submitted a SLASONK run – Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On, No Kills. Before you pooh-pooh that it’s just Floodgate… try to do the run yourself. (It ain’t easy.)Pissed Iguana’s back with Spartans Versus Beanies: Episode 2 – just when you thought it couldn’t get any sillier.HIH’s BigGruntyThirst…
