Halo Wars is one of those odd games that should be better received, an RTS set in the Halo universe featuring tons of units and vehicles from the expanded Halo canon and told with an interesting series of cut scenes and some fairly fun RTS missions. Unfortunatley I think far to many of the twitch oriented Halo gamers out there just can’t wrap their heads around strategy like an RTs and the RTS fans don’t live on the console, even if Ensemble Studio’s game does a pretty good job of translating the traditionally PC oriented experience to the console.

Regardless, those who found the swansong of the studio an enjoyable diversion will have more maps to play around with. The latest downloadable content pack includes 4 new maps and 4 new achievements for you achievement hounds out there – totaling 100 additional points. The new pack, called – “Historic Battles” will be available July 21st for 800 MS points.

800 Points for 4 maps? Seems a bit steep to me… maybe its just because of the extra achievements.

The Forge is one of those features that you wouldn’t naturally include in a console shooter but as the portion of the Halo 3 community who are not spending their time cussing while “p0wning n00bs” or griefing their own teammates on Orbital will tell you Forges’ map redecorating functionality allows for some pretty awesome redesigned Halo 3 combat maps.

To commemorate the growth of the Forge Cafe community over at Bungie.net, a collection of folks interested in taking the tools and sharing tips tricks and creations with each other, hitting its inaugural 75 member mark the organizers have announced their first map making challenge/contest.

Members of the Forge Cafe community can compete to create a themed Halo playground. Seriously a playground built up like a theme park using the tools, items and environments of the established maps. The map design contest is not centered around a playable experience however, merely an aesthetic goal of making a map in Forge that will allow players to see the fun of an Adventureland setting. Details of the contest and a link to the Forge Cafe can be found after the jump.

Desirai and John met while playing Halo in 2004, and come January 2009 they will be getting married. While this seems like nothing out of the ordinary, Desirai suggested that they have a Halo themed wedding with a guy dressed as Master Chief officiating. Now how cool is that guys?

The invitations have a Halo theme, instead of a first dance they will host a Bride vs. Groom Halo tournament that is open to the public. Desirai even considered dressing up as Cortana but instead will wear a more traditional wedding dress.

You know, its nice to see gamers sharing their love of each other and gaming with their family and fiends. Let’s all wish them the best of luck.

You can read more details on this and see pictures of the happy couple over on MTV.

Tor Books has announced that the next Halo novel, sub-titled The Cole Protocol, has officially launched today. The new book — penned by Tobias S. Buckell, an award-winning writer and huge Halo fan — will reveal the first days of the Human-Covenant War. The title is derived from the directive issued by the UNSC to hide the Earth and some of its colonies from the coming alien onslaught. However, the plot will focus mostly on a three-man squad sent to wreak havoc on the Covenant from behind enemy lines.

The last two Halo novels were instant bestsellers, so there’s probably no doubt that this one will be as well.
You can pick up a copy of The Cole Protocol at just about any bookstore.

BringIt is setting up a service with a secure site where gamers can compete for cash online 24/7. Any game platform with Internet connectivity can get in on the action.

“BringIt is going to transform the videogame landscape by allowing individuals to compete online for bragging rights and real money through skill-based gaming,” said BringIt CEO and founder Woody Levin. “Gamers have shown great interest and support for competitive gaming, so we are pleased to offer BringIt as a player-driven service that quickly connects gamers, allowing them to play legally for cash while getting a more intense competitive rush.”

Some of the titles in the service during the beta period are Madden NFL 2009, Gears of War 2, FIFA 2009, Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, Rock Band 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart. BringIt will accept PayPal and major credit cards for bets between $1 and $100,000. Read more about the terms and conditions from the press release after the break.

I should think that mixing videogames and betting will seriously up the danger factor for gamers with addictive personalities. It should also make BringIt a lot of money.
