Bungie’s Comm Chatter pointed out that the IGN Top 10 Kills series hasn’t gotten much love – the last couple WE mentioned were back in February! To make up for that, here are direct links to the recent ones – March 17 and March 23. Some fun tidbits i…

Halocharts has announced the entries to their BTB Map Making Contest – 46 maps for your playing pleasure! Go see. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 17:13:23 UTC)

Raaascal has another Map Spotlight for you – Sanctum was created by D4RKF1R3, a symmetrical map inspired by Halo 2’s Sanctuary. Go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 17:12:54 UTC)

Stephen Loftus continues in his quest to eradicate all low-res understanding of Halo signs – there are almost two dozen new images up in his Signs collection here today. In case it wasn’t clear, Stephen recreates these himself, using vector tools, sta…

Industry Gamers scored an interview with Marty O’Donnell – who would love to score the (not “a”, but “the” – interesting) Halo movie. He’s not too confident of his chances, though. (He would, of course, “certainly answer the phone if somebody called -…

nam was at the Toronto Wizard World Convention, and saw some pretty cool stuff from Halo Mega Bloks. The embedded images he included don’t show up (the site doesn’t allow deeplinking), but you can follow the link he provided to a lightbox slideshow, or…

Hedgemony posted a teaser for his next comic series, Halo: SPD last night around 12:30 am Eastern… and then posted the first part of the series itself 8 hours later. I guess Hedge doesn’t believe in long teases! There are already 21 pages online (st…

Both Hedgemony and Mazz dropped new panoramas on our forum last night – good stuff all around! (Louis Wu 14:25:08 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 let us know about Achievement HORSE #16 – this one has Geoff going up against Rage Quit’s Michael. As Mankitten noted on our forum, it’s rather profanity-laced. Doesn’t make it any less funny, though… and a couple of those maps look pretty…

If you’re lax about visiting Halo Waypoint, never fear, bs angel has your back. Stuff you might have missed this week so far: A 3D screenshot of a jackal on LNoS (awesome!) A Halo 3/Reach montage from HwnT called ‘Forever’ – loved the clutch exterm …

I blame Mankitten for this. He heard the music before it existed.(Louis Wu 15:43:47 UTC)

During the PAX East Grifball panel, the crew previewed a trailer for a new Rooster Teeth Grifball miniseries, called ‘Double Agent’ – I couldn’t really tell what was going on, because the acoustics in that room were awful. It’s up on Waypoint now, th…

TTL Demag0gue stopped in to tell us about the latest Reclaimer – looks like there’s more to Viper’s immunity than we thought…(Louis Wu 15:33:37 UTC)

Back in October, Leviathan kicked off ‘A Fistful of Arrows’, a really special piece of work following Jun (and all of Noble Team) before the events of Halo: Reach. Since then, he’s been posting new pages in our forum – but our forum is really not worth…

CVG is milking that interview they did with Frankie – a second page is up today, and Frank’s talking about going deeper. Next up from 343i: Halo: Inception.(Louis Wu 13:50:55 UTC)

Kotaku got hold of a machinima made as part of an application to 343’s cinematic team. (The creator didn’t get the job.) Interesting piece of work… thanks, BlueNinja. (Louis Wu 13:49:52 UTC)

nomis78 whipped up 12 Reach panoramas for your viewing pleasure – some really great stuff in here! (Louis Wu 13:48:49 UTC)

If you’re in the market for Halo (the original), as a downloadable game, there ain’t no better time than right now (thanks, bs angel) – jump over to Xbox.com and you’ll find that masterpiece selling for a mere 800 spacebux (that’s $10 to you and me). …
