…or is Sarcastic Gamer just happy to see you? More of you than they can handle, apparently, since the site is no longer accessible, leading me to depend on a report from Kotaku that the site, along with CVG, is citing the usual “sources” that a new Halo game will be announced at E3. Halo Chronicles? Halo 4? Lego Halo? Nothing at all? Time will tell.

UPDATE: This one continues to make the rounds: ActionTrip, Fragland, Xbox360FanBoy, and NeoGAF. The last seems to focus more on the “Superintendent” image and a possible non-Halo title.

UPDATE: I couldn’t open SarcasticGamer when I posted this item, but it is visible now, and the editor assures us below that the site has been running the entire time. Specifically, the site claims Halo 4 will be announced at E3, and they’ve added a link to the story at CVG as corroboration of their original claim.

Apparently some readers disbelieve the rumor because it’s “too early” for the announcement of another Halo game. SG replies that there’s a difference between announcing game development and announcing a release date– but in this case it really may be too early, as Halo 3 wasn’t announced until 18 months after the release of Halo 2, and the release of Halo 3 was only nine months ago. Unless this game is really a content release for the Halo 3 engine, or Bungie has magically figured out a way to halve its development time for Halo games (three years per game, give or take) it means that the wait for Halo 4 will seem even longer.

I arranged Leonidas for my jazz band for the end of the school year. Unfortunately my band teacher didn’t have faith in us and decided to not even try the piece even though we just stood around and did nothing that day. Anyway I wanted this piece to be used by someone so I am putting it up for anyone to use. I hope that someone can play this with a band or just enjoy the music. Thanks!

The word on the street (or at least in the Bungie.net update this week) is that Cold Storage, the remake of the classic Halo 1 multiplayer map Chill Out, will be released this July 7, Bungie Day, for free.

Part of what keeps this community alive is having this web site where we can all come together and hang out, and part of what keeps that going is paying the bills. I’ll spare you the details, but if anyone can spare a few dollars to help us keep things rolling, it’d be greatly appreciated by the entire community.
