BWU: Mythic Info
Bungie posted its weekly update, as usual, last night (and we made it available in our Weekly Update Archive, as usual, last night) – but it didn’t manage to make the front page until now. Just because we’re tardy about letting you know, don’t think you shouldn’t read it – it’s full of useful tidbits. It does a lot of clarifying of information made available over the past week – busting rumors before they’ve really gotten a chance to get rolling, as it were. Most of it involves Sandbox, the big reveal of last week – so go check it out! (For what it’s worth, urk’s coy hint about the release date of the Mythic Maps as DLC can be deciphered using our Halo Story Timeline.)(Louis Wu 15:44:56 UTC)

H3ITWP Remembers the 80’s
The latest group montage from Halo 3 in the Workplace has been highlighted on the Bungie Blog – swing by for fun gameplay plus music from Magnum P.I., CHiPs, Knight Rider, and Hawaii Five-O. (Yes, I’m that old. And for what it’s worth… Hawaii Five-O ran until 1979; it had a final year, in 1980, but was called McGarrett. I’m not sure that qualifies as “80s”.)(Louis Wu 20:03:56 UTC)

Halo Wars Demo Discussion
I am really enjoying the Halo Wars demo. The only console RTS I can compare it to is LOTR:BFME, which I also really liked. I think Halo Wars does everything that LOTR:BFME does, and does many things better.
1. Set in the Halo universe. Cut scenes are informative and canonical.
2. Base entities must be built on pre-determined “pads.” Keeping track of buildings spread all over the map is difficult. This simplifies things.
3. Collecting resources is as simple as building a supply pad. Great way to introduce resource management without making us chop down trees.
4. Select multiple units by holding down A and using an expandable “bubble.” This is much better than the LOTR:BFME paint brush.
5. Thorough use of circular menus with thumbstick selection. Quick and efficient.
6. D-pad hotkeys to return to your base or your troops.
7. Menus and look follow Halo 3 themes. Very nice to have multiple games within the Halo universe so consistent. I wonder if ODST will be the same?Overall I’m very pleased with the controls and content. I’m sure we’ll have the usual complaint about being limited by lack of a kb+m, which is probably true. In my case, I don’t give a shit, so it’s a moot point. I will be purchasing Halo Wars on release day.
