Luke Smith posted one last Frankie Photoshop on Bungie.net - and it’s an amazing piece of work. Looks like Don was first on our forum with the news. (Louis Wu 00:29:24 +0000)

Psychophan7 noticed an article at Kotaku discussing a claim at GamerCenterOnline.net that they’d put up 3 new shots from Halo Wars. Two of the three shots are quite old (the Sparrowhawk shot was first released in March 2007, and the ridgeline with Banshees comes from the original Halo Wars cinematic trailer released in September 2006)… which makes me a bit suspicious about the third shot. I can’t find a source for it… but it looks ‘old’ to me. If we get confirmation, either that this is a new shot or that this is old, we’ll update this news post. Update: Thanks to Mr Sprout, over at Halo Wars Central, for pointing out that that third shot is, indeed, old.(Louis Wu 13:59:40 +0000)

Planet Halo noticed a blog post on a blog called ‘The Space Oddity’ which suggested that Gearbox is working on a new Halo game, a prequel to the existing Halo trilogy. This is strongly into ‘rumor’ territory, so take it with a grain or two of salt… but it’s something to keep an eye on.(Louis Wu 15:42:27 +0000)
