Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 6 is up for Sponsors right now – it’ll be up for everyone else in about two and a half hours. If you haven’t been paying attention to the various Red vs Blue series up until now, this episode will be really, really confusing. (Usually, that’s not a problem, it’s…

Still more info from Peter Jackson’s camp – his manager, Ken Kamis, told the LA Times today that the Halo Chronicles project (announced at X06 almost three years ago) was killed back in January, as part of a series of Microsoft budget cuts. Ah, well. Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5.(Louis Wu 21:52:58 UTC)

AfroRyan noticed a new remix of Nick Singer’s third Marathon Halo mix (we mentioned previous versions of this mix in February 2008 and August 2007). I like it quite a lot. Downloads (currently) available from 4 sources; if they dry up, we’ll host it ourselves.(Louis Wu 21:39:40 UTC)

A couple of days ago, we mentioned a conversation Peter Jackson had with Joystiq – looks like he also talked to IGN. They filmed theirs – and got some footage with Neill Blomkamp, too. Interesting tidbits about the Halo movie – did you know that Blomkamp actually worked for five months on the project before…

Nabsuh has released Reach, Episode 2 of 4 of his Emerald machinima miniseries – lots of CGI space fighting. More info is on the AVCOM website – powerful stuff! Definitely worth watching.(Louis Wu 21:20:09 UTC)

Tyrant’s Summer Mythic Recon Challenge continues – this week (which is half over, sorry) the level to complete is Sierra 117. His Bungie.net post contains lots of info to help you compete – go read! (When the Sierra 117 page of his Mythic Walkthrough v2.0 is ready, we’ll post again.)(Louis Wu 21:13:22 UTC)

PlanetXbox360 is giving away three Mythic Map Pack codes – if you still need one, swing by and register on their forums, so you can post in the right thread! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 21:10:29 UTC)

This week’s Tag and Release feature on Bungie.net is called ‘Light’ – and it shows what you can do with (um…) light. As OboeCrazy says, it can make you want to play.(Louis Wu 21:03:47 UTC)

If you’re not sure about the whole Anime idea with respect to Halo, check out this monster post by Jordan117. He’s gone to the trouble of finding decent examples of the work from each of the studios involved in the Halo Legends project – you can judge for yourself whether you think they can tell…

Nathaniel Hysong has created a Halo 3: ODST case mod for his Xbox 360, and documented the creation process. Swing by Facebook for details!(Louis Wu 16:01:28 UTC)

Futur Life visited the Bungie ODST preview in Paris last week, with staff from Halo.fr and Halo Destiny, and created a montage of the day. The music is a little hard to handle… but the video’s fun.(Louis Wu 16:01:01 UTC)
