I almost forgot to post a little reminder about this section in our rules for the forums,

No posting of leaked or stolen material related to Halo. This includes but is not limited to; Screen shots, Source code, Magazine scans, and information obtained from said illegal sources.

The Swedish magazine LEVEL has a lot of info about Halo 3 in their latest issue. This issue however is only available to subscribers at the moment. There are some scans floating around the net on various sites and people are dissecting what they can tell from the pictures.

I guess the issue will be available in stores this coming week (I tried to find it today but could only find the previous issue) and then I will do some translation of the new information. 'Til then you can discuss what people know at this moment in our forums.

On Monday night/Tuesday morning, October 24th at midnight Pacific Time we will be performing server maintenance.

There will be approximately 30 minutes of downtime during this scheduled maintenance.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

It's once again time for IGN's tradition of letting their readers pick the Top 100 Games of All Time. Halo: Combat Evolved can be found on place #14 and Halo 2 ended up on place #25. Two years ago Halo 2 could be found on place #19 and Halo: Combat Evolved on #18. So during the last two years we could draw the conclusion that Halo: Combat Evolved's popularity has increased while Halo 2's has decreased.

This weeks BWU is a nice mix of different content. There is as expected some more insight into yesterdays news about Fox and Universal backing out of Halo The Movie. There is also some talk about the medias visit to Bungie a few weeks ago, a roundup of what's happened in the community the last week and a Q/A with Mat Noguchi. Check out the full update at Bungie.net.

ENiGMA made a topic in our forums about a news news-post he had found over at comingsoon.net. The site is reporting that Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox have backed out of co-financing the movie. Discuss this in the forumtopic ENiGMA created and read more on the comingsoon webpage.

The day before yesterday a new episode of Podtacular got released. They are as always keeping a high standard and it's definately worth the download. Check it out!

Last weeks BWU was a Q&A; with questions from the community. There is a pretty big mixture of topics for the questions which should promise an interesting read. Perhaps especially the confirmation of some upcoming Halo 3 information that we've already been talking about in previous news stories. Read all questions and answers over Bungie.net.
