Campaign B-Roll
ElzarTheBam pointed out some Halo Anniversary B-Roll Campaign footage released by GodisaGeek.com – 10 minutes worth. No gameplay of note – just a chance to see some campaign scenery you might not have come across yet. If you’re staying dark to experience this fresh on November 15, pass on this one.

Both Inside Pulse and Kotaku have articles about McFarlane’s Halo Anniversary Series 2 figures – though neither site has pictures. (The press release can be found on Spawn.com, too, if you want to go straight to the source.) (Louis Wu 14:43:48 UTC)

You make my skull hurt
GameFront has a little tidbit from Chad ‘Shishka’ Armstrong, the guy who hid Halo: Anniversary’s skulls throughout the game. He wanted to make the skulls hard to acquire – but he learned the lesson from Halo 3 that just making the triggers complicated won’t work, because modders can just read them out from the code. Grabbing some of THESE skulls is going to be tough – even if you know where they are. Hmm… (Louis Wu 16:41:23 UTC)

10 Over-Hyped Video Games that Disappeared too Quickly
GamingBolt thinks two things: that ODST was overhyped (huhwha?)… and that it disappeared too fast. (Not sure I buy that; I was playing it until Reach came out. But hey… they’re entitled to an opinion.) Thanks, Urban Reflex. (Louis Wu 16:39:51 UTC)

What’s Long And Purple With Sticky Blue Balls?
Surprisingly enough, this post has nothing to do with Hedgemony, so your first guess was wrong. Instead, Halo Waypoint added the most recent addition to the ordnance tech in the Waypoint Intel by bringing us a closer look at the Covenant Plasma Launcher. Go and check out some technical specs and well-rendered angles of the Sangheili’s favorite sticky-shooter!(GrimBrother One 15:46:39 UTC)

A Fistful of Arrows – The End.
I’m thrilled (and a little sad) to announce that Leviathan has finished A Fistful of Arrows, his epic (and yes, I’m using that word correctly) tale following Jun after the events of Halo: Reach. The last time we mentioned the main comic was just before PAX – he was up to page 57. The tale ends on page 77 (yes, he made sure that would happen), and I can’t imagine a better way to finish it. You can read the final act on our forum (he’s provided a helpful summary of events up to that point), or on his dedicated site – or, if you remember where you left off, you can jump right in at Page 58. Whatever you choose – read this. It’s a fantastic story, with fantastic artwork. (When you’re finished, there are some credits, and a summary of what’s still to come, in this post.)(Louis Wu 13:26:00 UTC)

The Ultimate Disc
Mid7night has created what might be the coolest frisbee… ever. It’s a Marathon symbol, and he made sure that the off-center hole was balanced against the extra material below it so that the center of mass is right in the center of the disc. He hasn’t actually bought one yet, to see if it flies… but it SHOULD. Shapeways – bringing dreams to life! (If you love this, you can buy one for yourself – as always, Mid7night makes no money on them. If you do, and it flies – please let us know!) Update: Mid7night posted a bunch more pictures on our forum – check this out! I REALLY want one now.(Louis Wu 13:08:40 UTC)
