A few weeks ago I had to say goodbye to a good friend of mine when my Xbox 360 suffered from the 3 Red Rings of Death. Thankfully I knew that Microsoft had extended the warranty on the product for this issue. I shipped it off and only now received it back. Everything went well the only thing I could have wanted more was faster delivery time(three weeks seemed a bit long).
So I opened it up as soon as I got home. I was expecting to receive some sort of compensation for it breaking down unexpectedly. Inside there was a 1 month free trial to Xbox Live. Although it is not a bad thing to have (I can save like $6 now) I would have rather just never had to send my xbox off.
Naturally since I just got back my favorite console and got another copy of Halo 3 ( I wont go into the tragic story of how my other one died) I decided to play with some friends of mine over Xbox Live. What I really wanted to try out was some of those maps form ForgeHub.com like I mentioned in the last post. My friends and I were really pumped to try out the map title Tunnel Raid 2.0. We were not disappointed even the slightest. We had a blast playing to be frank. Below is a picture of one of the first rounds we played. The only problem we had with the map is people breaking outside of the manmade part of the map. Jordan had an idea to fixed it in forge and we got it all sorted out to further ward off their attempts to making the game unfair.
We also played some Big Team Battle which is remarkable faster than it was in Halo 2. One problem with it is having to press up on the d-pad though so I don’t like that part of it that much… What we use Big Team Battle for is to find player for custom games. It works extremely well. We just send invites to our recent players list and they join.
All in all today was a super day of Halo that I must admit I have missed.
If you can’t wait until the book hits the stores then maybe this will substance for a little. Read the prologue after the break. (more…)
Bungie breaks off from Microsoft and is once again an independent game developing studio. Frankie writes, “Bungie will become an independent company and will retain a long-term publishing agreement with Microsoft Game Studios for “Halo” titles.” This is admitting that there will be more Halo titles then, which of course is great news for all of us.

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…
