Halloween Goodness and DLC

Over at Bungie.net, Frankie’s weekly update talks about a few things that are coming up. First there will be some sort of “seasonal addition to the matchmaking playlist”. Sounds interesting, I’m in. Secondly the crew over there is hard at work on some new multiplayer maps. He notes that he’s not too fond of one [...]

Covenant Costume on eBay

It’s the perfect accessory to go with the rocket launcher replica Wang Chi posted about earlier this week. It’ll reach a bit deeper into your pockets, though, and I can think of at least two things I would rather spend 900 bucks on (at least). I found this posted over on [...]

Just for fun, let’s look at my gamerscore: 3,637

Forge + The Pit = Good Time

The Pit is a good time all by itself, but when you start editing in Forge, it get’s a lot better…
bumpkinlord, Lo Pan and I started changing the map a bit. We added a large number and variety of grenades, gravity lifts, sniper rifles and special power ups.

Yep, some Halo 3 fanboy in Des Moines, Iowa built this thing out of empty pizza boxes and Mountain Dew Code Red cans. Check out these details:
Up for auction is an EXTREMELY RARE (1 of ONLY 3 EVER made) life-size replica of Halo Master Chief’s ROCKET LAUNCHER made by Nightmare Armor Studios.

Halo 3 Campaign Scoring

What is Campaign Scoring?
In the new Halo 3, you’ve got a chance to play the campaign (even co-op campaign) with old school, arcade style scoring. Just another way to keep everybody playing Halo3 for a long, long time. (Until Halo 4 perhaps?)
