Silent Cartographer on Legendary

Fresh off the press-
Our Legendary Walkthrough section now has a new chapter: The Silent Cartographer. Even if you've beaten this level on Legendary, the screenshots are at least worth a look. My personal favorite- five Elites vs. one rocket.

Gone For A Bit

I'm going to be out of the office starting tomorrow, through all of next week. Don't worry though, I'm leaving you in the more than capable hands of Matt and Candyman. They'll be watching over news and event submissions, chapter submissions, and all of the other little things. If you need anything please contact one of them.

New Caption This! Screenshots

Everyone enjoyed the Halo Caption This! screenshot feature so much that we've added eight new strange and ridiculous shots. Go flex your captioning might.

Short server downtime today

All Bungie web sites will be offline for approximately 10 to 20 minutes for some quick maitenance. This downtime will occur sometime between 4:00 and 5:00pm Pacific time.

You Asked For It...

Short sleeve Seventh Column T-shirts, that is. See, we do love you. We now have a shorter version of our Seventh Column shirt available in the Bungie Store. This might be a good time to try out your 40% off discount!

Bungie Store Stock Updates

The Bungie Store has had several notable changes over the past few days. First, the Halo Soundtrack is now in stock! Second, we've restocked the surprisingly popular Fishing Bob cap and the "Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass" Bungie shirts. Third, we now carry XXL size Bungie shirts! Quantities are limited, so get yours now.

Write Your Own Captions

Damn, that's a lame news story title. I guess I wasted all my creative energy coming up with captions and posting them for the world to see using our brand new Halo Screenshot Captions feature! That's right, now you can tell us what's really going on behind the scenes. You can even rate other submissions. We have our first batch of four new screenshots waiting for subtitles, so get busy!

New Job Openings

Here at Bungie, we've created 3 new [url=/Inside/Page.aspx?section=Jobs&subsection=Main&page=1]job openings[/url] that may be of interest to all, even if you have no intention of applying. If you think you have the skills, then by all means, don't pass this opportunity up.

New Stuff This Week

At long last – the walkthrough you've been waiting for is now available. Level 3: "The Truth and Reconciliation." This massive (and I mean massive) walkthrough goes through all the detailed instructions on how to beat this level on legendary. The only thing holding you back now is pure skill.
We've also added a new desktop to our wallpapers section, the art from the new halo T-shirt. A big thanks to Bungie's own Lorraine McLees and Chris Barrett for the design.

Orders For Myth?

Myth.bungie.org is reporting that Team Marius.net and MythForums have teamed up to support Orders for Myth and Myth II on the Marius.net server. Now wouldn't it be helpful if we had a global account system shared between Bungie and all fan sites? Psyrixx thinks it would be.

New Poll

I just posted a new poll on the front Bungie.net page. This one is of special interest to Halo fans, so be sure to vote!

And the security patch said NO!

Well, we had a little problem today. All of our servers had to be rebooted for a quick little patch this evening. Apparently, though, the web server didn't handle it very well and we got some extended downtime. Everything is now working. We apologize for the downtime.
