In addition to the annotated version of Bungie.net's own Halo 3 FAQ, posted at the same time as the announcement release and the trailer, we've now started a separate Rampancy.net Halo 3 FAQ. If you have a question to suggest, please add a comment! Both FAQs are on the Halo 3 Articles page.
CVG has a recap of some of Microsoft's E3 goings-on, focusing primarily on the advantage that Shane Kim believes Xbox Live gives to the 360, as compared to Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3.
Of course, some recently announced games also got mentioned:
"Hopefully we've put to bed any concerns or confusion about what Bungie is doing with the Halo universe. They're very focused on Halo 3 and they're going to make it bigger and better and everything everyone expects."
Louis Wu at HBO pointed out a short video interview that Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb did, presumably for his unofficial Xbox blog, MajorNelson.com.
We've put up a second copy of the Halo E3 2006 Announcement Trailer; this one weighs in at a much lighter 25 megabytes and is encoded in DivX 5, suitable for Macs or PCs, for those who don't like QuickTime or whose computers (like mine) have a bit of trouble keeping up with the high-resolution H.264 version.
Just a note in passing: with the spike in interest in Halo caused by rumors of the impending announcement of Halo 3 at E3 this year, Rampancy.net passed the 10,000 registered user mark; runLIKEhell1393 became user #10000.
Louis Wu at HBO has put up a summary of links to interesting forum threads; many of them touch on issues I mentioned in the Annotated FAQ, which also included a short analysis of the Announcement Trailer. And before everybody goes nuts, I had to go ahead and do that without checking any of the forums first because I was already behind by 12 hours, so no, I didn't steal anyone else's speculations or screenshots.
We've opened up a few new pages as a result of Bungie's Halo 3 admission at E3 this week:
Rampancy.net will have its own Halo 3 FAQ of course, but in the meantime, we've taken the Bungie.net FAQ and read between the lines a little bit, just to whet everyone's appetite.

As everyone else living in a normal timezone already knows, Bungie announced that Halo 3 is in development for the Xbox 360 and is expected to be released in 2007. The announcement says in no uncertain terms that this is the final game in the Halo series, confirming what others have suspected: that about nine years is enough to make even the most interesting scenario boring to developers that aren't SquareSoft.
Welcome to level 3: The Slammer. Unfortunately, I don't really like this level. It is pretty short, and not too interesting. The parts that are meant to be great fights end up being a little too easy, and retracing steps is always a no no in a game (except for Resident Evil and Tomb Raider... I still don't know why anyone likes them). Here is how to beat level 3, although there is less strategy needed than there is shooting accuracy.
Also, if you notice a lack of lovely 800x600 captured content, my apologies. My capture card is fubar, and to the extent that it likes to drag my whole computer down with it. So for now, no more nice pictures, but if I ever get the chance, I will go back and old ones.
A side note to the rest of you: I hope you read this guide incorectly, and that in doing so, you have trouble beating the level.
The Slammer
Kill all of the prisoners! Once you leave the lineup room, there will be three detectives. I usually just fart, because it is embarrassing to die this early on in the level. Right out of the lineup room, go right twice (into the room for viewing the lineup). Just to the right of the door is the first of what seems to be very few hippos in this level (Commentary 1). Push your zombie army (should be about 6) into the next couple of rooms to help clear out the cops.
