Craig Mullins dropped off a new image today – not really NEW, I guess, but the inclusion of a piece of it in the new Bungie.net design has generated quite a bit of new interest in it. (It was originally published in the Halo Graphic Novel, last year.) It’s an awe-inspiring image of carnage on…

RVideo found a fantastic video posted on the HaloGrid forums (yep, they’re back) – it was done by the the guys over at Chaos Films, and it emulates a standard turn-based RPG using the Halo engine. These guys did an amazing job compressing the vid – the original is in WMP9 format, but I couldn’t…

This is… weird.(Louis Wu 19:53:09 UTC)

Nomi found some really cool paper recently, and to celebrate, she decided to make a Hunter (it doesn’t use any of this new, rare paper). Right after she finished it, ManKitten showed her a new piece of artwork he’d created (it’ll be in the next Misc Art update), so she decided she needed to make…

Veegie and HawaiianPig have teamed up again – their latest piece of artwork is a scene that could be out of the level Halo. A poignant look at the human side of the Master Chief. It was announced by HP in a forum post, and you can also find it on Veegie’s gallery page here.…

Laird stopped by with some shots of a custom fighter for his upcoming Halo Unyielding Part 2 – a single seater that can operate in space or in an atmosphere. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:15:24 UTC)

Spartan Erik pointed out a Flash game at Newgrounds – Halo Snake v2. Nice update on a 30 year old game!(Louis Wu 17:01:57 UTC)

DocOctavius announced a new map he’s finished for Halo CE – Hydrolysis. Water-based (as you might guess from the name) – looks pretty! Check it out.(Louis Wu 16:10:09 UTC)

Kiaffex stopped by to point out that Podtacular 106 has been released; they focus on Halo 3 this time around. 1:19 long, 74 mb. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:27:42 UTC)

Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #24 is now available – you gotta wonder if morality can be governed by the same rules as friendly AI…(Louis Wu 14:00:53 UTC)

Rooster Teeth has posted Episode 92 with Director’s Commentary for sponsors – swing by to see how they did some of the trickier shots in that episode! Good stuff. (Heh – how long until some of this pops up in a dozen Halo machinima pieces?)(Louis Wu 02:00:52 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update is up (Trindacut, in IRC, beat Frankie, on the forum, by at least a minute) – lots and lots of fun stuff, including physics to make your eyes glaze. (I kid – I have an undergraduate degree in physics. But YOU probably don’t – so maybe I don’t kid.) Water Lovin’, even…

Brand-new Hired Gun blog post over at IGN – interesting discussion about bringing Halo 2 to Windows Live. Give it a read! Thanks, PsychoRaven.(Louis Wu 23:51:50 UTC)

Bungie.net has fixed the Windows Live ID login problem – read about it here (and yes, you probably can – w00t!). Thanks, JeBr0nie.(Louis Wu 23:47:44 UTC)

Wow. The marketing blitz has begun. Kotaku has a story about Master Chief-branded Mountain Dew. (They’re calling it ‘Halo 3 Game Fuel’. I suppose that’s better than ‘Cyborg Sweat’, which is the vibe I get from ‘Spartan Dew’…) Thanks, Neo-genesis.(Louis Wu 23:45:22 UTC)

New content up over at MLGPro.com – player commentary from Tsquared, and an interview with Str8 Rippin (and their new hot Tsquared/Foulacy/Legit/Naded lineup). Thanks, Tyger.(Louis Wu 23:42:37 UTC)

Jason Borne has created a couple of fantastic pieces of Halo artwork – you can see them in our Miscellaneous Art section. Yesterday, he sent along a piece (513×792, 92kb) he did for his brother-in-law’s birthday – the title comes from his gamertag. Great stuff! (This will be in the next Misc Art update, whenever…

LazarusCayde stopped by to show off a new Master Chief tattoo – check it out!(Louis Wu 17:13:46 UTC)

In preparation for tonight’s Weekly Update, Stuntmutt takes a shot at Frankie in today’s One One Se7en. (Or maybe it’s just at one of the environment artists… I can’t tell.) Whatta title!(Louis Wu 13:20:20 UTC)

Nomi has continued her Paper Spartan-making madness (This… is… PAPER!) – she’s got new Spartans for mejp44, Blackstar, and TheDonWan… along with a paper Jackal, a dual-wielding Elite, and some cool mini-weapons. Check ’em all out!(Louis Wu 12:54:39 UTC)
