A few days ago, we mentioned a pretty fun goal the Halo community could shoot for – 7 billion campaign kills by Bungie Day (July 7). GhaleonEB, over at the NeoGAF forums, has been crunching the numbers each day since this challenge started… and it’s not looking good, at the current rate. Unless we pick…

Hawty McBloggy found another Halo-themed 3D Steregraphic video – this one shows some cool action on High Ground, and if crossing your eyes is too much work, there’s a section of the video that let’s you see the action with standard 3D Glasses (Red and Blue lenses). Check it out1(Louis Wu 13:41:45 UTC)

Bungie’s posted the June 27 Bungie Weekly Update quite a bit earlier than usual (it’s been up since before 4 pm, their time) – it contains more exhortations for anticipation of Good Things on both Bungie Day and PAX Weekend, a recap of the Content License Transfer Tool we mentioned yesterday, new overhead screens of…

Captain Spark was playing Campaign, and started hearing a bunch of new Grunt dialogue. He’s not coming out of retirement – but he sent along nearly 50 new snippets for our Halo 3 Dialogue Databank. Some of them are simply priceless. Go listen!(Louis Wu 14:37:08 UTC)

A few inquisitive souls have already found the new links… but for the rest of you, I’m (tentatively) pleased to announce that our Halo 3 Cutscene Library has just been upgraded with HD versions (thanks, once again, to Cody Miller) – this leaves only the Halo 1 scenes in standard res. (That’s almost completely my…

Simpsons Rule noticed that Amazon has The Cole Protocol available for preorder – current price is $10.17, and posted release date is November 25, 2008.
