Once again, by early morning there are multiple Halo comics updated around the web:Elnea has posted Episode 155 of Halo Action Figure Theater (Baby Doctor (plus some french stuff)) – I can sympathize with the problem in this one, since I have kids too.The Catfish told us about 2501 Episode 20 (Counter-Attack), wherein a strange…

pete_the_duck put together a montage of ‘random little moments’ – there’s nothing spectacular, per se, but watching it brought a smile to my face multiple times. No music, just gameplay. Enjoy! In the same vein, Avateur put up a summary of some HBO-regular-attended gaming nights during the month of February, complete with pics and a…

FireDragon04 has updated his ‘Halo Wars Movie Poster’ (the first draft was mentioned last week), and has produced a collection of variants – you can see them all in his forum post. (We’ve put up local mirrors down at the bottom of the post, in case the originals stop working someday.) I think this one…

Red vs Blue has put up a walkthrough, of sorts, of Assembly – go watch it. Thanks to AvatarAang for the timely heads-up last night. (Louis Wu 14:38:47 UTC)

The ‘Applied to Life’ guy is back with another vid – this one adds some actual Halo footage ‘so it would be easier to relate to Halo’. Personally, I think it would have been better with just the live footage… but hey, he’s the guy making the cool vids! Thanks once again to urk for…

Bootstrap Boon created a Ghost Transformer – wouldn’t it be cool if your Elite could morph like this?(Louis Wu 21:34:23 UTC)

AmX15 created a tribute to Bungie Favorites – screenshots, some short film clips. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 21:32:41 UTC)

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another Community Spotlight at Bungie.net, and a new batch of files in the Bungie Favorites section – this week it’s Black Water Ops, a Bungie.net group dedicated to fair play and fun. Go read about how they formed, and get a look at the files they’re proud of in…

The goatnet boys went up against some other Mythic holders last night on Orbital… and Devin Olsen posted a bunch of screenshots and a gameplay vid for your viewing pleasure. Go watch! (Louis Wu 21:28:27 UTC)

For the lucky few that have the Mythic Map Pack a bit early, Bungie has put up the Team Mythic playlist – Team Slayer, Team BRs, Team SWAT, Multi-Flag BRs, Neutral Assault, and Grifball. Enjoy! Looks like CaLL Me ZeNy was first on our forum with the news.(Louis Wu 21:28:06 UTC)

Kongregate is hosting a Halo Wars sweepstakes – all you need to do is play (and beat) Battalion: Nemesis by March 2, and you’re entered. One winner will receive a 360 plus a copy of Halo Wars, four others will win a copy of the game. Thanks, elpolloguapo.(Louis Wu 21:27:17 UTC)

Wow. So we wanted to give away a few Mythic Map codes yesterday… little did I know how much interest that idea would generate. The next giveaway is gonna be a bit simpler (on the back end), I think. In the six hours that the contest was open, the official thread received 943 responses, with…

Tony ‘ubald’ Marcotte sent along another Halo render – this one’s a gorgeous little shot of a mongoose and its pair of riders. Check it out in his gallery here! (Louis Wu 17:55:42 UTC)

Adam Grumbo sent word (two days ago!) that a 405th regular, Ruben, had created a truly beautiful ODST helmet – you can see the finished pictures on this page, and you can jump back to the start of the thread for the beginnings of the project, back in mid-September. Astounding work! (Hawty McBloggy has her…
