Halo 3 doubles the EXP with Team Snipers
The new (and weekend limited) Halo 3 Team Snipers double EXP matchmaking playlist is live right now, will end sometime during the early morning hours this Monday and requires both the Heroic and Legendary Map packs. Secondary requirements for enjoying Team Snipers is a steady hand, a talent for shooting people's heads and we're sure a previous preference for the sniper rifle would help too. Have fun, rack up the EXP and earn that General Grade 3 already.

Bungie update: funny screens, Halo lore explored
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. Hit the "read" link to explore the entire update.

Video: Halo 3 kill stealing with fusion cores
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.
