sorahn has put up a couple of posters on his wall – these were created from the content to be released on the Zune in a couple of weeks. Check out Cortana, and the Chief. (Yes, these were rendered from the 320×240 versions on the Zune. Amazing, huh?)(…

Dennis Powers, of HaloMaps.org, pointed out two new maps for Halo 2 Vista from NiTrOuSoXiDe2k (who was part of the H2V team, actually), showing off how easily new maps can be made using the Halo 2 Map editor tools. Check out Beach Battle and Earth Cit…

The latest rumor floating around is that Halo 3 is so huge, as a game, that it can’t fit on a single disc. Joystiq has a story about it, CVG has a story about it, Xbox360Fanboy has a story about it. (Actually, now that I read CVG’s entry again, it’s j…

We have a very special One One Se7en for you today – as of last night, Stuntmutt is a daddy! He’s going to be taking some paternity leave, but don’t fret – he’s lined up some awesome guest artists for the next few weeks. We’ll start rolling out those …

Over on Bungie.net, you’ll find an interview with SmokedYeti. Who’s SmokedYeti, you ask? Oh, nobody… he’s just the first guy to gain ‘General’ rank in the Halo 3 Beta. Over 20,000 kills (in over 1100 games) – it’s unlikely you’re gonna catch up to h…

xMixMasterX pointed out a new stats site – it’ll take a while to grab your Halo 3 Beta data, and it’s switching back to Halo 2 on June 11, so if you haven’t registered yet, you’ll be doing it twice in a week… but if you want someplace that can add u…

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge had a bunch of Blizzard guys meeting a bunch of Bungie guys on the field of battle – but not along company lines. They split up every game, making it really hard to tell who was challenging whom (and why). The writeup…
