Halo: Faith Updates
Hitmonchan collected a bunch of new links about the Halo: Faith project – but he didn’t get around to posting them to our front page. I guess I’m gonna scoop him with his own work. Check out some concept art of Hunters in action (we pointed out the model a few days ago), an interview with one of the Faith actors, and a call for Visual Effects Artists – they’re churning along! Go explore.(Louis Wu 14:01:00 UTC)

Loving Tribute
Today, I received a pretty cool sculpture in the mail – fansites can leave such a strong imprint on their creators that they want to honor the memory with a gorgeous piece of custom art. High Impact Halo will not be forgotten, for at least as long as my Halo shelf is visible…(Louis Wu 21:19:11 UTC)

Comm Chatter Goodies
It’s kind of a slow news day, so I leave it to Bungie to pick up the slack:- Halo biggest fan painted a portrait of B.net’s omnipotent overlord, the Bungie Webmaster.
