Don’t forget – the first segment of ‘Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian’ went live today on Halo Waypoint. ONE’s animation, coupled with Frank O’Connor’s story (and some interesting voice-acting) results in a pretty nifty feature! If the story’s unfamiliar to you (it shouldn’t be, because the Halo Evolutions collection is some of the best…

According to an article at G4TV, the reason Dark Void is available this week, rather than last fall, is Halo 3: ODST. When Capcom found out that ODST was being released in late September, they bumped Dark Void forward to January, so as not to have to compete. (Louis Wu 15:22:57 UTC)

Check ’em both! (Louis Wu 15:22:21 UTC)

Phoenix-06 continues his Operation Chastity concept artwork (we mentioned an older piece in September) – he’s posted a sketch of Robert Savage, a character in the movie. (This is apparently a small piece of a larger pic.) Looking good! Thanks to NoobToob for noticing.(Louis Wu 20:10:46 UTC)

Game Informer is continuing their release schedule of Reach coverage – as promised, a new article is up. It’s not Reach-related, though; it’s a look back at Halo 3: ODST, with some help from Joe Staten. I was interested to read that Firefight was planned for Halo 3, but didn’t make it in because of…

Mendicant Bias discovered a pretty cool model over at DeviantART – it’s called ‘Bonecrusher’, and it was created by RobertoGamez. It’s not NECESSARILY an Elite… but it sure shares a lot of features with one. (A warning, if you explore – the rest of the artist’s gallery is NSFW.) Update: cheapLEY points out that this…
