Cody Miller is kicking off a 4v4 double elimination tournament – you need the Mythic disc from Halo 3: ODST to play, and you can win some cool t-shirts (that I assume he’s making himself). Swing by the High Speed Halo forum for all the details!(Louis Wu 22:10:13 UTC)

The Double EXP Playlist this weekend is Team Control – Land Grab, Territories, and King rule until Monday. Swing by Bungie.net for a full list of gametypes and maps!(Louis Wu 19:53:57 UTC)

rolandk73 stopped in with word of an arrangement of the Halo theme, for clarinet and bassoon, created by a friend of his. You can download the 5 pages off of TwitPic, or you can grab local copies from us: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5. If you play this… record it and send it in!(Louis Wu 18:37:40 UTC)

urk let us know about a fan-made puzzle game – go read the blog post to find links to the game and map variants, along with the solution (for those of you who simply can’t wait).(Louis Wu 18:36:55 UTC)

Ready Up Live has a Sgt. Johnson Firefight code to give away – so they’re hosting a screenshot contest. Bungie.net has all the details.(Louis Wu 18:35:25 UTC)

Late start here… let’s begin with the daily video offerings of Bungie’s Comm Chatter:

• Kblocker and Outcold have a montage for you to watch – lots of sniping, not too heavy on the editing. Just under 5 minutes.
• Ten FTW modified Halo 3: ODST cutscenes by adding some bleeps and pixellation – changes the whole tone of these things! Obviously, don’t watch these if you haven’t played the campaign through.
• Chilled Chaos put together ‘You Said What?! Episode 1’, a Halo 3 machinima – think “Miss Lucy had a steamboat” updated for today.

Go watch!(Louis Wu 18:33:15 UTC)
