Halo 3 Mythic Guide Version 2.0 – Tsavo Highway
As we mentioned yesterday, the next phase of Tyrant’s Summer Mythic Recon Challenge involves the level Tsavo Highway – so to make your life a little bit easier, his revamped guide to the level is now up in the Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough V2.0. Not only is there a set of suggestions for a relatively safe completion of the level – there’s a ‘Kamikaze’ version that whips you through the first half of the level in 4 minutes. Go read, and watch! See if you can beat his times.(Louis Wu 14:20:54 UTC)

Breaking In – Chris Opdahl
There was a new Breaking In article posted last night – Chris Opdahl (Campaign Design Lead for Halo: Reach) discusses how he got his current job (and I gotta say, there’s potential for a sexual harassment lawsuit in there), and what you can do to increase your chances if you want to follow him.(Louis Wu 14:00:51 UTC)

RT: Dumbledork
My only problem with today’s comic is that I didn’t get to be in it. In reality, I’d have been pushing Matt AND those little bastards out of the way.

One Final Effort (Hard) – For Piano
This is a modified version of Jonathan’s excellent transcription of One Final Effort for the piano (also available on this site).
As the title states, this is a harder version, and is meant for peope who want more of a challenge. Do enjoy!
Much credit goes to Jonathan for the original transcription, as parts of this score are still the original. Pedaling is left to the pianist’s discretion.
UPDATED VERSION: Added some more parts mostly, and a bit of fingering added as well.
Attachment contents:
Sheet music (.pdf)
Finale notation file and backup (.mus, .bak)
Midi playback (.mid)Note: The midi doesn’t sound that great at the end, mostly because I didn’t put pedal marks into the score. Also there’s some wierd problem at the end in which one a tied note gets played again. Any help would be appreciated.
Another note: In the final few bars, I actually intended that the left hand be ignored (I didn’t find them very nice in my opinion), hopefully that should sort out a few things. I just left it there for anyone who liked it.

It’s Thursday, Baby!
Cool stuff in the Bungie Blog this afternoon:- The latest Double XP Weekend is live now – in honor of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s 4th of July Weekend, with Flag, Rockets, and VIP. Get to playin’!
- Tyrant continues challenging you to complete sections of Halo 3 on ‘Mythic’ difficulty (Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On), and offering you Recon armor for doing so. This week’s map: Tsavo Highway. His 2.0 walkthrough covering the level should be online by tomorrow – giving you plenty of time to study it and get yourself through the level in record time. Go read all the details!
- There’s another Community Cartographers feature – this one highlights a map called ‘Tartarus’, from Sikamikanico – go see why he made it, and why you should add it to your Custom Games rotation!
Lots of good stuff for filling up your Thursday afternoon!(Louis Wu 20:00:23 UTC)

Sarge… I never knew…
Albetta sent us this link; normally, I’d have nothing to do with a RickRoll-type video, but that’s not really what this is. It’s… well, you have to watch it. Yes, it’s got Never Gonna Give You Up. No, I’m not RickRolling you. It works surprisingly well (despite the horrible video quality).(Louis Wu 19:27:32 UTC)
