Wow, I’m a little disappointed – my Google Alerts folder for Halo this morning is full of articles showing off leaked gameplay footage for ODST. I hadn’t realized so many sites would post this stuff. On the plus side, it means if you WANT to see it, finding it is pretty trivial; it’s everywhere. We…

Z sent word that Zola is editing one final montage, and wants it to be community driven. He’s looking for lots of clips – you can see a trailer for this project at Halo3Forum.com, and get an idea of where he’s going. (The man has got some editing skillz, I’ll tell you what…) Got something…

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another Community Spotlight – this week, Bungie.net is focused on The Spartan Special Ops. There’s a group interview and a bunch of new files in Bungie Favorites – check ’em out!(Louis Wu 17:38:51 UTC)

Two new vids for you, courtesy of The BungLog™: Dutchy whipped upa 4 minute montage called ‘The Payback’ (he kills a lot of people – some of them are even playing), and Stewie2552 released Fail/LOL Montage V (the best bits really are lolworthy, but it’s awfully long – the best clip is right at the…

Zeouterlimits pointed out another nice piece of ODST fan art – this one is a speed painting by DeviantARTist Orkimede. Five hours of work – nice job! (The DA image is 762×850; the version linked in Zeouterlimits’ post is quite a bit larger.)(Louis Wu 16:28:45 UTC)

I’ve seen Xbox underwear before… but this is the first example of Halo boxers in the wild I know about. Thanks, Black Six.(Louis Wu 14:09:08 UTC)

Who says a genetically-engineered fighting machine has to be svelte? Not Hawty, that’s for sure. (While you’re there, the disturbances continue with a foetal MC.)(Louis Wu 12:42:02 UTC)

Samus 117 stopped in yesterday with a link to the Bungie forums – Teltaur created an image you can print out and use as box art for the second ODST disc, if you choose. (The two disc set comes in one box, on one spindle; many people will want to separate these to minimize scratching.…

Pinkuh’s back, after a long time away – she’s whipped up a gorgeous piece of work that will eventually be printed, and signed by Bungie employees, and sold at a Child’s Play auction by Laird. For now, enjoy the artwork in her HBO Gallery!(Louis Wu 19:03:28 UTC)

Gonna be in Seattle on September 21? Join Bungie for an ODST Launch Party! Preliminary details are available at Bungie.net – more to come in the days to follow.(Louis Wu 19:03:06 UTC)

Tyrant is pretty unhappy about leaked copies of Halo 3: ODST hitting the net – he’s going to make it his business to find users who’ve grabbed a copy this way, and turn them over to Bungie for high-altitude nukeage. I seriously doubt he’s alone – so think twice before downloading that torrent. (Louis Wu…

This week’s Average Joe is Hawkeye, a Bungie fan who has the good taste to read this site. Go read about him! (Louis Wu 19:02:19 UTC)
