The Halo Movie is officially declared dead. Before there was a shimmer of hope from Peter Jackson when he said that he thought that Halo 3 may resurrect this dream but that is all gone now…

Halo 3 is without a doubt the fastest selling video game in the history of gaming. Like Halo 2 and the Beta, Halo 3 is the most played game on Xbox Live.

Bungie has posted good-sized skull guide on their news page. Here you go
Have you all noticed that there are two maps in the Team Slayer playlist (High Ground and Narrows) that you always seem to get? Also there hardly is a normal Team Slayer match. It is constantly Shotty Snipers which I personally think is a great gametype but am more than tired of it. A fellow Xbox Live subscriber had the idea for Bungie to make it in its own playlist and I agree that that is the best method here.
Valhalla by far is the most universally disliked map. Bungie hurry up and give us the REAL Blood Gultch/Coagulation.
