CaLL Me ZeNy was the first on our forum to notice that the Mythic Maps are now included in Bungie’s Heatmaps. Now’s a good time to check out their layouts… while the maps are still clean! (You can, of course, always look at a version filtered for some obscure death – try Elephant Turret on…

Last night was pretty productive for urk, over at the Bungie Blog – lots of local content, and even one new fan bit:The Sandbox screenshots that were unveiled in the recent IGN/T3 interviews (sometimes in really small sizes) are now all available, in beautiful hi-res, in the Halo 3 Screenshot Gallery. Swing by and feast…

Pete Cooper stopped in this morning to unveil the latest – and last – piece of concept art for the ‘Operation Chastity’ project. These pieces are so spectacular, we’ve collected them to make a small gallery; they deserve close attention. Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 19:22:46 UTC)

Goodies via the Bungie Blog: ‘First Contact’ is a Halo machinima with some great graphics and a taut story. The date work could use a little help, but mostly, this is top-notch.

New comics released today: we heard from TTL Demag0gue that Reclaimer 148 (“Veil”) is live – and Ferial runs up against more than he expected.

The Halo 1 Tricking continues apace. Latest cool trick: slYnki has managed to get a Scorpion Tank onto one of AotCR’s suspension bridges. A trick long thought to be impossible… now on film! I heard about this one from lots of people – Dark Helmet even posted it in our forum.(Louis Wu 13:34:37 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has kicked off a community eValentine project – create a cool Halo-themed eCard you can give to a loved one, send it along to Hawty, and she’ll publish it on Friday.

Last night, Bungie put up a question and answer session with Tyson ‘Ferrex’ Green and John ‘JonnyOThan’ Cable, about the limits in Sandbox… or more accurately, the limits in Forge. Worth a read, if you’re considering building maps! It also contains every Forge object that will be available in Sandbox – and the list includes…

Goodies courtesy of the Bungie Blog: a ‘Goosetage from Nysco and iScotteh entitled ‘Twisted Metal’, a very cool Average Joe segment (It spotlights TTL Demag0gue, and the interview is built as a comic), and a new song from Bryan Simon – this one focuses on Neighbor, the pro Halo 3 player.
