PaulMc was playing on Valhalla, and took a shot at a Banshee with his missile pod, from pretty close range. He missed, the Banshee boosted in and splattered him. Pretty standard, right? Well… the missile ALMOST got a lock… so it decided it was gonna follow that Banshee after all. The ‘shee had headed for…

ZZoMBiE13 looks at the naming of the Halo Map Packs to date, does some extrapolating, and lets you know what might be coming next, in the latest installment of Another Halo Comic Strip. Here’s hoping he’s wrong.(Louis Wu 20:20:03 UTC)

Whoa, that was quick. Inside Halo 13 is now online – The Dead Pixel shows off some cool screens, details a new request for submissions (you’ll have to watch it yourself for specifics), executes some mailbag hijinx, and gives you a taste of the endtimes.

If you live in Omaha, NE (or nearby, I guess), you might be interested in a Halo 3 tournament to be hosted this weekend at Heidelberg’s Sports Bar by Ahman Green, an NFL running back with the Houston Texans. Details (and an application form) are available in the Omaha World Herald story linked above.(Louis Wu…

The Chairleg Productions crew is planning on releasing some new machinima in HD, and to test whether their server can handle the load, they’re releasing a Halo 3 cutscene (the ending of Floodgate) in QuickTime H.264 HD format. Swing by Squarecoin’s forum post for details and a download link. (Louis Wu 19:22:51 UTC)

We got new pics of GhettoMole’s Scout helmet – he’s finished up the grey and black painting, looking forward to the violet highlights and the visor! Go look.(Louis Wu 19:22:02 UTC)

SPU7N1K was doing some searching, and stumbled across a blog post from back in September, showing off photos of a couple of Halo 3 caps I don’t recall seeing before. I’m not sure I’d wear ’em – but it’s interesting that they’re out there.(Louis Wu 19:21:37 UTC)

xenøs was messing around with some map building, and ran across a pretty bizarre glitch; apparently, you can pick up an overshield by traveling between a pair of teleporters that has that overshield near the path that connects them. Huh? Watch his movie for more details (downloadable saved films linked in the forum post, too),…

Phatcorns dropped in with a link to a little montage vid showing off some brotherly love. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.(Louis Wu 19:20:29 UTC)

I hate days like this. Sorry for the lack of news. Rockslider wrote up an easy way to hijack banshees on The Covenant – swing by Bad Cyborg for details.(Louis Wu 19:19:19 UTC)

Joystiq (and the MTV Multiplayer blog before it) are discussing some new job postings on Microsoft’s Careers website, that point to (and this is now confirmed) an expansion of the team for Peter Jackson’s ‘Halo’ project. Does this mean that the game is just now getting into the engineering phase? Or has it just grown…

PEZ let us know that there’s a new Team Doubles strategy guide posted up at Halowiki.net – go give it a read!(Louis Wu 21:12:09 UTC)

I’ve said it before – we’re not going to get into the habit of front-paging every screenshot (or screenshot collection) that comes to our attention; the risk of being flooded is too great, and there are already great places to see cool screenshots (try I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots or haloscreenshots.net, for example). However, there…

Free at Last noticed an NPR piece on machinima – and two major Halo players (Red vs Blue and The Codex) get mentions.(Louis Wu 16:15:58 UTC)

Some nice goodies over in Hawty McBloggy’s little corner of the net – she found a fun site that shows you what might get lost in translation… and while her Halo 3 pickup lines might lose some of their efficacy, they absolutely gain some hilarity. She also found a truly gorgeous set of customized input…
