Death by intelligence.
Cheating Elites Dodge Sniper Rounds
Also at the Escapist today, a Microsoft "perception engineer" confirms something about Halo I've long been terribly annoyed by: the tendency of enemies that are far away and do not see you to luckily dodge just as you are about to shoot.

Best Of The Worst
1Up.com obviously didn't get enough Bungie in their "three weeks of Halo 3" coverage, because now the company is getting a mention again-- this time for Marathon.
Unfortunately, it's not a flattering mention. Marathon 2 is featured in their Best Worst Ads 3 feature, on page six, which shows their ad from 1996 that compares video games to a skinner box.

FASA Head Wanted Bungie Kept In Chicago
The Escapist has a nice piece on how Microsoft has gone from being a puppy to a big dog in the computer and console game space, and how often that has been achieved through acquisitions.

Want to hear More Music
More music transcribed by Halo fans on www.vgmusic.com.
It is only midi's so there is no sheet music but they do have some really impressive stuff. For those of you who wanted to hear what siege of madrigal sounds like they have that there too.
Anyways click on the music menu (the thing on the bottom right side of the video game music archive picture) and scroll down to xbox. Then click G-R or classic style and scroll down to Halo. The first music you should see is A Walk In The Woods.

It Rings A Bell
1Up's latest Halo feature is a retrospective on the Halo series. The teaser on their three weeks of Halo 3 microsite mentions the "Halo/Marathon universe" but there's nary a mention of Marathon there, and as we all know, the two universes are separate anyway. Right?

Bungie Announces Halo 3 Public Beta
[image:42829 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0] Bungie commemorates the fifth anniversary of the release of Halo with an announcement that touches on both Halo 3 and Halo 2.
First, there will be a Halo 3 television commercial airing during Monday Night Football on December 4th.
Secondly, in the spring of 2007 there will be more Halo 2 maps available. They won't be free, and you'll need a 360 with the hard drive (required for Halo 2 backwards compatibility anyway).

Happy Birthday Halo
Five years ago today, Halo shipped to eager Bungie fans and the unsuspecting masses of Xbox early adopters around the world. To commemorate this (and whet your appetite for whatever big news is to come later) Frankie has put up an Anniversary Panel of game journalists and fansite editors (including HBO's own Louis Wu) to ask them about what they're looking forward to in Halo 3 and what their favorite things about Halo and Halo 2 are.
