Assembly… boring?
PC Magazine put up a review of the Mythic maps today… and while they loved Sandbox, they found Orbital and Assembly to be disappointing and tiresome. I guess it takes all kinds!(Louis Wu 17:08:26 UTC)

Wonder if he paid full price?
Schedonnardus went to his local Gamestop last night in College Station, Texas, and ran into a Spartan-clad fan with a Brute Spiker. I dunno… the salesguy looks a little intimidated… (Louis Wu 14:51:42 UTC)

Hawty’s Goodies
Hawty McBloggy has a couple of goodies for you today – she’s put together a set of eight Halo-themed 360 mods (some are great, some are awful, some are just plain funny), and she’s uncovered a true Halo transformer on eBay – it’s a Warthog that transforms to a Spartan (well… sort of a Spartan). Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:50:05 UTC)

Pod TV Campaign Runthrough – The Covenant
After discovering Truth’s plan to activate the Halos, you must breach the barrier he has activated and stop him. As you make your way to the first tower, you encounter heavy defenses that you can take out with your Spartan Laser. Make your way up to the first tower and deactivate the tower. Meanwhile, the elites take out the second tower, and Johnson is pinned down trying to get the third. You must head back to the beach and grab a Hornet and fight your way through the arial defenses to the third tower. After deactivating the third tower, flood-infested High Charity comes through the portal and starts to rain down on the Ark. You must fight your way back down through the flood and meet up with marines ready to breach the barrier. After taking out the two Scarabs, you are joined by the flood to stop Truth from activating the Ark. After doing so, the flood turn against you and you must make it out alive. After escaping the flood, Guilty Spark reveals the replacement Halo for the one destroyed in Halo 1. There are three terminals on this map: one in each tower, and don’t forget the Thunderstorm Skull.

Halo Wars Universe Expanded: Act 3 – Ascension
Impervium was the first on our forum to notice that IGN has posted Part 3 of the Universe Expanded series of Halo Wars documentaries – this one is called ‘Ascension’. It’s a nice closeout of the series. A quote from Frankie: “Every time we add, we embrace.” The Halo Story canon is definitely expanding… (Louis Wu 01:15:57 UTC)

Catching up to McDonalds
DarkSky Forever noticed it Sunday morning… but Bungie got around to posting fun stats on Monday afternoon. Sometime this weekend, the one billionth online match of Halo 3 was played, and recorded by the tireless databases living under the bedrock of Redmond. (Okay, I know they’re not really in Redmond. Shut up.) RocketMoose did some calculating, and figured out that since Halo 3 hit the net a year and a half ago, more than 64,000 years of playtime have been spent playing Halo 3 by fans on LIVE. (Bungie also gave away two more Mythic codes in that newspost… all the more incentive to read closely!)(Louis Wu 01:12:50 UTC)

Sometimes, you just gotta go for style points.
The latest episode of Red vs Blue: Relocated is now online – Part Three shows what the Rooster Teeth boys can do with the Mythic maps. (Caboose is starting to worry me, too.) I’m wondering if Lopez’s Spanish isn’t getting WORSE, over time…(Louis Wu 23:24:21 UTC)
