Halo: Orions Spartans I
Samir Patel was the first to let us know about ‘Halo: Orions Spartans I‘, a new Flash vid at Newgrounds. Very high production values, and this one’s unusual in that it’s a serious story, not a comedy. Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:26:11 UTC)

It’s just shooting and running and throwing grenades.
Cinema Blend has put up an article about how Halo 3 ain’t all that… and it’s our fault.Gamers are overly excited about a game that doesn’t give us anything new, so it won’t get more exciting than it already is. This is gaming standing still, and we are happy with it.
It’s an opinion, that’s certainly true…(Louis Wu 13:03:39 UTC)

I highly recommend you check out Podtacular’s latest podcast about Bioshock.
“This show we talk all about one of the greatest games to come down the pike in a long time: Bioshock. Joining JVB and [Foo Mo Jive] are Immortal Three from the Podtacular crew and Mintz from Halo Portable. Hope you like it!”
There are no spoilers. There are, however, major THX plugs.

News Summary For September 16
—
by
The second-to-last Bungie Weekly Update before Halo 3’s official release date is well worth the read. The highlights, though, are you should stay out of random Bungie.net player profiles from now on, since you may end up seeing screenshots taken by people who’ve gotten copies early. Also, Miguel Chavez, invited to play through the game last week, says the ending is “perfect”. You’ve heard it from Bungie’s #1 fan.
Of course, Halo 3’s street date has been broken about two weeks early.
Rumors are flying that the missing clan features in Halo 3 may be supplied by an XBL update.
Kotaku wonders if Halo hype has gone too far, and I can’t help wondering the same thing– even if I am, for the most part, isolated from it.

Guys like Jason and I are dirty and gross enough to pull off never shaving – people expect it. When clean cut dudes like Burnie start trying to get in on the action…it makes you wonder. What’s he thinking? Does he have some sort of nefarious plan? I’m…

Norway enters the ‘break the street date’ club
This was first reported to us by Thomas Wendelborg, but there’s an article in English up now on Product Reviews Net (thanks, Avateur); a Norwegian game shop has sold at least 2 copies of Halo 3 to customers, so beware, as always, of spoilers.(Louis Wu 15:15:44 UTC)

New B.net next week. Screenshots spoilers in some user profiles. Miguel says ending to H3 is “perfect”. Series of tubes ablaze.

by
In this week’s Bungie Weekly Update, we get a healthy dose of HALO 3 and where it stands. A new Bungie.net will roll out next week with lots of new features. Some users will be playing the game before the game’s official launch. Since a new feature in HALO 3 is the ability to upload screenshots to your B.net profile, there will be spoilers at B.net. This could include shots of the entire last battle. It is safe to bet that spoilers will be all over the internet next week.
Community stand-out, Miguel Chavez, is quoted in the BWU as saying the ending to HALO 3 was “perfect”. This should be taken as a good sign for all of us as few people take the HALO storyline more serious that Miguel.

Halo on TV
A number of people have been letting us know that the Discovery Channel has started advertising a special Halo episode of their Future Weapons show. (Samusaaron3 was first with the news a couple of days ago.) This episode should air Monday. Major Silva noticed that the Sci Fi channel is airing something similar, the day Halo 3 is released – it’s called ‘Halo 3: Sci vs Fi’, and will be on the air at 4pm, according to this guide. (Of course, you can’t forget the SpikeTV and G4 specials that will be running on September 24…)(Louis Wu 11:42:42 UTC)
