Wired: Why the Halo Movie Failed to Launch [via destructoid]
An interesting read on why there hasn’t been a Halo film (mostly due to Microsoft’s unwillingness to compromise).
Above I’ve attached the first live-action Halo 3 game promo by Neill Blomkamp (known for District 9) that was also a proof of concept for a feature film. There have also been live-action promos for all the Halo games since: Halo ODST, Halo Reach: Birth of a Spartian, Deliver Hope, and Remember Reach.

My Halo Reach Rendered Video
A video I made of a sword kill spree I did a while ago online. I don’t have a Bungie Pro account, but for some reason they rendered it for free. I thought it was kinda cool.
Halo: Reach - Noble Map Pack Trailer
Look what I got last night!
I had pre-ordered at the right time and gotten the only console bundle at the store for launch. Also by pre-ordering at a little chain called “G2K Games”, instead of GameStop, I was the 3rd person in line out of maybe 15 people.
I’m normally an Amazon shopper for games, but I had credit at the local store and like to support smaller businesses who don’t rip you off on game trade-ins.
I hung-out with my friend at the GameStop in the mall for a while before leaving to get my pre-order. We had hoped there’d be some event made of it like back in the day, but it was just a bunch of nerds sitting on the store floor until midnight and it got a bit crowded. The Halo 2 EB Games launch I went to in Tucson AZ (Nov 9 2004: my last midnight launch) was actually an outdoor event with hotdogs, a raffle, and a projector setup with Halo 1 multiplayer.
On the down side, I’m at work today. If money was no object I would have taken the day off to sleep-in and play Halo Reach. I just hope the work day goes by quickly.

Another new Halo Reach live action trailer: “Deliver Hope”
I bet their marketing budget is huge for this game.
Halo Reach ‘Remember Reach” - live action short
I’m guessing this is just the first in a series of shorts. Again someone should make a feature length Halo film. The last Halo live action short was very cool.
Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo Reach console sounds
Kinda silly but fun feature of the Halo Reach Xbox 360 console.
Halo: Reach ViDoc - Forge World
It’s like the LittleBigPlanet of FPS games. Forge was fun in Halo 3 but hard to work with. This looks like something I could get into.
