Friday afternoon brought its customary a href=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnewsamp;cid=17091Bungie Weekly Update/a - but it’s not as chock-full of sink-your-teeth-in goodness that last week’s was. A little bit about the Mythic Map Pack (thunder stolen by gaming sites around the world, beginning with Austria), a little bit about ODST’s development (intriguing, but vague), a sad memorial to the passing of a character that will be missed… and a random shot at an unfortunately ineloquent Bungie.net denizen. Oh, and the recognition of an HBO regular. w00t! Go read - either at Bungie.net, or in our own a href=http://halo.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=213Weekly Update Archive/a.(Louis Wu 00:31:57 +0000)

Wow… ANOTHER Plasma Pistol montage? I’m amazed there’s enough footage for ONE, let alone two. (This one, unlike the a href=http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=25042last one/a, actually has people fighting back… which makes the deaths all the more funny to watch.) Go check out a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgYL_SqAmiMconor2020’s HD ode to the blobshooter/a. And hope you’re not in the next one.
