The latest Bungie weekly update may not be packed to the brim with exciting things like upcoming playlists or talk of yet more new maps, but there are definitely some tasty morsels for Halo fans out there. First and foremost is a collection of some of the funniest Halo 3 screenshots out there. We’re particularly enamored of the one above. We have dubbed it “Cojones” for reasons that we don’t care to elucidate. Secondly, the update enumerates a few of the more interesting statistics about Halo 3. Our favorite is the number of people who have completed the Legendary campaign with every skull turned on. How many people have done this? Two. We can’t figure out if those two people are insanely good or insanely patient. Either way, they’re insane. Finally, the update points gamers to Ascendant Justice, a blog that has posted a three part series exploring the story revealed in Halo 3’s terminals. Fans of the series should definitely read it.

It’s time once again for another 100% Bungie approved and X3F certified Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend! This Double EXP Weekend, we get to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a new Legendary Map Pack required, ten person, social, free for all, Fiesta gametype playlist called “Cinco de Mayo”. How appropriate, right? For those who aren’t familiar with Fiesta, it’s pretty much Slayer but every time you spawn you’re given a random weapon or two. Kinda like a drunken, super violent fiesta … get it? Also, since it is May, Bungie rolled out all the new Halo 3 playlist changes including the addition of a full-time (and ranked) Team SWAT as well as making Social Slayer a 4v4 playlist. Check out the matchmaking updates, go play Fiesta and celebrate Cinco de Mayo the Bungie way.

Today is yet another lazy Sunday, so we find no better time than now to visit the pile of random Halo 3 videos to bring you yet another video gem.

We have here one of the most complicated Halo 3 kill steals we’ve ever seen, complete with sniper action, fusion core explosions, a splatter and a missed melee. It’s best to just watch the video to get the full kill stealing experience, but the gist of it is that a player snipes one of the other team’s Spartans, then that same bullet hits a fusion core, which explodes next to another player who (by chance) is milliseconds away from being assassinated but gets knocked into the wall giving the sniper player a splatter kill. It’s random and totally delicious! These videos also make us want to plead with EVERY game developer to incorporate some kind of record functionality in their games. Moments like this are too priceless to waste.
