MasterChief2829 noticed that DailyGamerBlog has impressions (including gameplay vids) of the Mythic Maps. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 14:10:14 UTC)

Shacknews has a funny PR mixup – CrispyGamer received some concept art from the Halo Wars team… but it included some unexpected placeholder text. (The final version is displayed as well, for comparison.) Thanks, KP.(Louis Wu 14:05:38 UTC)

Bry received his copy of the Halo Wars Collectors Edition yesterday, and posted some vague (potentially spoiling) tidbits from the 46-page graphic novel written by Eric Nylund that’s included with the package. Go see what’s there!(Louis Wu 14:05:20 UTC)

Forge Hub has put up a Mythic Map Pack review – go take another look at these maps from the viewpoint of mapmakers. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 14:04:57 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue stopped in with Reclaimer 157 – it’s Part 6 of Reclaimer: Mythic Edition, and it gives you a final look at Orbital (and a bit about Ferial).(Louis Wu 14:04:40 UTC)

Just two new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week… go read!(Louis Wu 14:02:28 UTC)

Wow… I don’t know how much time is left on the contest… but OXM UK is giving away 20 codes today – register and answer a simple question, and you’re entered. This contest went live yesterday, and they say the winners will be announced today… but it’s still open as of this writing. Get over…

Okay, because we’re gluttons for punishment, we’re giving away ANOTHER 5 Mythic Map Pack codes. This time, the process is much, much simpler: visit our giveaway page, give us your name, email, and gamertag (once – read the warning on the page about getting yourself disqualified), and tomorrow night we’ll randomly pick 5 valid entries…

Rooster Teeth has added their Orbital Walkthrough – go watch. Thanks, T07WRX5.(Louis Wu 20:05:08 UTC)

According to Joystiq, the Guinness Book of World Records has created a ‘Top 50 Console Games of All Time’ for their 2009 Gamer’s Edition – and Halo comes in at #6. Nice! (Joystiq thinks there might be shenanigans involved.) Thanks, RevDotNed.(Louis Wu 20:02:21 UTC)

I left for a couple of hours, so there’s a lot of catching up to do, thanks to urk’s tireless blogging over at Bungie.net. Here’s the new stuff:ArmTheFlag has created a Halo music video, using Bryan Simon’s ‘My New Home in Halo’ as the soundtrack. I’m wondering how they got that Spartan’s armor off him…The…

BlueNinja put up a few new panoramas – many of which include Forged maps. check ’em out!(Louis Wu 14:49:05 UTC)

Adam Grumbo let us know that his Podcast #4 is now up on YouTube. (The first three, which we didn’t know about, are in his YouTube channel if you’d like to watch them.) This focuses on making a Marine helmet (using the ODST helmet we mentioned yesterday)… and also contains a pretty cool contest that…

Matthew Rivera stopped by last night with some links to videos showing a team of four friends running the final level of Halo 3… on foot. Yes, on foot. (No, they couldn’t COMPLETELY finish; you can’t make the final jump without a vehicle. But other than that one… wow.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 14:42:24 UTC)

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)
