There’s a new piece over at Tied the Leader – it’s a discussion about how games can keep the interest of players who have achieved all there is to achieve. Halo doesn’t have a ‘Prestige’ system like Call of Duty… so some players resort to a second gamertag to extend their interest in the game.…

For those having trouble understanding how Sandbox’s Sky Bubble and its ground floor will interact, Fyrewulff made a simple but elegant diagram. The only bit of info that isn’t really conveyed by the picture is that players CAN pass downward through the kill volume… just not alive. (Louis Wu 13:39:09 UTC)

Sarge Tomzilla was the first to notice that the first episode of Rooster Teeth’s newest miniseries, ‘RvB: Relocated’, is now online (for sponsors and the general public alike).

Rob Tracy let us know that the second Halo/Grifball-related ‘Remedial Comics’ ep is now up – those hammers are dangerous! (And while it’s not Halo-related, the blog entry for today is a writeup of the New York Comic Con, which took place this weekend; give it a look!)(Louis Wu 19:11:14 UTC)

Xbox Life has pulled the Halo Wars trailer we mentioned recently – probably because the bandwidth demands got too great. De Laal pointed out a re-encoded version (they cropped out the black bars that contained no info except the Xbox Life watermark)… but we think it’s a little fairer to the original host to put…

Pete Cooper is back with MORE concept art for the upcoming Halo Fan-created film, Operation Chastity. If the quality of the film comes anywhere NEAR the quality of the concept art, Hollywood’s gonna be jealous. (Louis Wu 18:26:37 UTC)

We’re a touch late to the party, but GameDaily’s John Lichman let us know that they’re premiering the Halo Wars soundtrack at AOL Radio today.

Over at Blast Magazine, there’s another Halo Wars Hands-on, this time from a non-RTS player; give it a read if you’d like to see how a beginner in the genre views it all.(Louis Wu 18:17:21 UTC)

2900d4u was the first of many to let us know about a new Halo Wars cinematic montage that can be seen at a Taiwanese Xbox site. (If you’re having trouble there, there’s a lower-res version at Gametrailers.com.) This is FULL of spoilers for the Halo Wars story (mostly inferred, but pretty clear)… but if you…
