HC Redemption has a new challenge for you – this one is a part of the HC Community Challenge Series, and it features GrifballHub. The lower difficulties seem reasonable… but things get pretty tough near the top of the scale! Do you have what it take…

New comics are coming from Marvel – Halo: Fall of Reach – Invasion debuts early next year, and IGN has some cover art to whet your appetite. Thanks, Leviathan.(Louis Wu 15:25:20 UTC)

kornman00 let us know that Game Developer magazine’s December issue has an interview with Bungie’s Hao Chen – which led Hedgemony to point out a short but intriguing preview for that interview at Gamasutra. What have they learned about game engines fr…

Evil Otto stopped in with word of a Halo mod for Empire at War – it’s a total conversion, including new models, effects, sounds, music, gameplay mechanics, and more. If you like what you see, voting for Mod of the Year is active!(Louis Wu 15:16:03 UTC)

SEspider put together a few Halo characters in a new style. Adorable! (Louis Wu 15:13:14 UTC)

Frank O’Connor spoke to OXM UK recently – he was surprised by the love for Master Chief (to the point where folks were unhappy he wasn’t in Reach). Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 15:07:52 UTC)

Hey – it’s not Halo news, but we’re still the most active bungie.org subsite, so this is a fine place to mention that Bungie is once again reminding people to sign up for their Beta testers list… you never know what sort of goodies you’ll earn!(Loui…

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris finished off his final video for his LASO Challenge Walkthrough – Pillar of Autumn has now been posted online! Just over half an hour, lots of new tricks. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:14:46 UTC)

Heh – this made me laugh. Thanks, bs angel.(Louis Wu 20:46:49 UTC)

Rockslider has STILL not finished with Jun’s Falcon – stop by our forum for the latest details. I’d hate to be a mouse living in his house; I’m betting there’s NOTHING left on the plates when he’s finished.(Louis Wu 20:41:55 UTC)

Interesting – if you’re eligible for Verizon FIOS internet, check out a new deal that gives you Halo Anniversary and 12 months of LIVE for signing up. Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 20:39:00 UTC)

In October, 2007, our Halo 3 Cutscene Library went live, and a year later, we upgraded it with HD versions of the scenes. Due to limitations in recording equipment, however, audiophiles have always been shortchanged… until now. Cody Miller has graci…

Leviathan was playing with the concepts of space and time – and found inspiration in the final cutscene of Halo 3. The art itself isn’t necessarily Halo-related – but it IS Halo-inspired… and it’s gorgeous. Check it out.(Louis Wu 14:28:34 UTC)

Lara is a cosplayer, and a video game music afficionado. She’s also really good on violin and piano. Hawaiian Pig pointed out her rendition of the Halo theme on the former. Superb! (Louis Wu 14:27:09 UTC)

Gaming Union is giving away video game music, but you have to guess the origins of tracks to win. Last week’s challenge had a Halo track in it – this week’s doesn’t, but it’s still a pretty fun contest! Go play.(Louis Wu 14:24:11 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, FyreWulff pointed out a reddit post from a Project Director at Harmonix who mentions trying to get the Master Chief into Dance Central 2. Heh. (Louis Wu 14:22:22 UTC)

RC Master has put up another Achievement Guide – this one will help you find all the Elites that need killing on Keyes to get the ‘Tying Up Loose Ends’ Achievement on Halo Anniversary. Nice work!(Louis Wu 21:16:58 UTC)

GamePro took a stab at convincing you that The Library is a worthwhile level to play. If you’re one of the crowd that never believed that – give it a read. Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 19:21:09 UTC)
