OldNick is at it again. His latest blog entry is about Bungie's controversial story addition to Halo 2, the playable Arbiter-- and how his omission from Halo 3 may have been a crowd-pleasing move that left the game with a less rich story.
Ahead of NPD data, Microsoft is claiming that Halo 3 has sold over 8 million copies so far worldwide, and the 360 console 17.7 million, according to GameDaily.
Second Foundation, home of the Halo community podcast The Riot, is holding its 2007 community awards. Voting will be open until midnight GMT on January 13.
In the interest of full disclosure, yours truly was nominated under "Biggest Community Contributor (Individual)" but I'm up against Louis Wu so if I don't win, no hard feelings. Then again, if you want to vote for me, don't let me stand in your way.
Rampancy.net reader and games programmer OldNick (MobyGames profile) expands on some complaints observations made about Halo 3's NPC behaviors during the last podcast episode; namely, that sometimes getting marines to do what you want (or even what seems reasonable) seems unreasonably hard:
The website for GRR, the animal news network, has officially launched. The lead article is a blog entry about a Las Vegas-based scandal touching one of the candidates in Hail to the Chimp. Looks like [i][Ed. Omitted][/i] is the new [i]censored[/i].
Be sure to check it out! It's already 2008, and coincidentally, that's the year Hail to the Chimp is being released in-- in the first quarter, no less. Not long to wait now!

Sergeant Johnson says:
"When I was a kid, we didn't get any fancy-schmanzy Spartan lasers for Christmas. We got two sticks and a rock! And we had to share the rock. Buck up, kids... you're very lucky Marines."
Okay, here's a crazy idea.
Like more than a few people, I was puzzled by Bungie's return to independence following the release of Halo 3. It didn't seem to make much sense.
Sure, it made sense for Bungie to want more autonomy. Even the friendliest chaperon is still something one would rather do without. Why did it make sense for Microsoft, though? Why negotiate for a sweet discount with the goose who laid the golden eggs when you used to own it lock, stock and barrel?
Avateur in the HBO forum pointed out a Halo Wars Q&A with Ensemble Studio's Graeme Devine over at GameTap. Devine is the lead designer on Halo Wars.
In addition to mentioning how Ensemble must simultaneously respect the Halo canon and being free to make the best Halo RTS game Ensemble could make, rather than the best Halo RTS game Bungie could make, the article touches on the touchy issue of console controls:
First GameSpy, now TeamXbox shun Halo 3 when it comes to top honors in its year-end awards roundup. Crackdown-- the game that at first people thought might only be bought by people who wanted into the Halo 3 Public Beta, but then turned out to be good in its own right-- was dubbed best action game.
Mass Effect took the overall Game of the Year award.
