Full details can be found at BWO’s website (see above…

  • Scaling Death

    Just one montage today on Bungie’s Comm Chatter – ‘Scaling Death’ has some great gameplay, though if you’re not a screamo fan, you might want to use your computer’s volume controls before you start it up. The gameplay… wow.(Louis Wu 19:29:46 UTC)

  • Reach concept art surfaces

    serpx pointed out some concept art by Gary Huang, showing off an in-game model for a human soldier. Awesome work!

  • Some mods are FUN.

    Hawty McBloggy ran across a video showing off a Halo 3 mod that would be a BLAST to play with; a couple of guys created a functional 1950’s style UFO, and removed the killzone between the Sandbox Sky Bubble and the main level. Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:02:02 UTC)

    Morpheus put together a quiz that asks you about the names of Halo series medals. How good is your multiplayer memory?(Louis Wu 18:56:59 UTC)

  • Brokeback Time

    Yesterday’s Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection is called ‘Brokeback Time’, and there are some AMAZING screenshots in there. I think ‘Fractured’ and ‘Demoralized’ are my two favorites – but there’s really not a bad shot in the group. Go look.(Louis Wu 21:48:16 UTC)

Video Game Speed Dating takes a funny look at various video game characters, and the trials they might have to endure. Master Chief is present.(Louis Wu 21:33:07…
