Bungie should thank EA
For the last two weeks Halo 3 has been the most played game on Xbox LIVE. For most of this year, Call of Duty 4 has been the most popular game on LIVE.
So why has Halo 3 surged to the to Major Nelson’s most played list? Battlefield Bad Company is drawing war-sim gamers away from Call of Duty 4.
It would be interesting to see if the number of gamers playing Halo 3 has gone up during this time. (Surely some fan has a website tracking the number of daily Halo 3 gamers).

Halo Pen from ComicCon
Praxis Solomen noticed an auction on eBay for a pen, collected during the 2008 San Diego ComicCon, which is labeled “The Battle Begins Fall 2008” and lights up. The title is ‘Halo Movie Pen’ – there’s no information about where this name came from. (Seems more likely that we’re talking about something like the Peter Jackson project than the Halo movie, but again, there’s no other information included.) Auction ends in just under a week.(Louis Wu 10:12:23 UTC)
