In an interview with TeamXbox, Bungie.net development lead Chris Gossett reveals all the new Halo 3 implemented features, upgrades and spiffiness that will be rolling out on Bungie.net this Wednesday and be warned ... it's a doosy. Among the new Bungie.net features (of which all can be seen after the break) are ways of sharing videos and screenshots, voting on the community's best, keeping track of your campaign stats and keeping track of your multiplayer stats as well. Speaking of which, multiplayer stat tracking Halo 3 is off the hook, crazy insanely crazily detailed to the twelfth power. Seriously, the new Bungie.net's Halo 3 stat system blows Halo 2's out of the water and around the moon. And since there's too much to mention we advise looking after the break to read all the new upgrades and making the jump to check out a the full interview and a few screenshots too. The new and improved Bungie.net will roll out this Wednesday, prepare your eyes and mind ... it's going to be an information overload.
Oh, and did you notice there will be special Bungie.net medals? Oh yeah!

Sent this in as a tip...guess you guys got the break before me...
Also...I'll be commenting, but will try not to read comments until Halo 3 is released. Good luck to everyone in preserving their secret.

(I know I said I wouldn't read, but it's TORO and I can trust him. Let me rephrase what I said before... I'll go thru the comments just in case someone reputable like Fontez, Magic, or TORO comments, read that and maybe comment.)
You're right TORO...I don't see how Bioshock could beat out Halo 3 and its boatload of features for GOTY.
Also, I will abuse the Bungie.net website when I'm at work, flagging things for download and maybe even getting my brother to turn on my 360 when he gets home @ 3 (whilst I get home @ 5:30...)

HOLY SHIT!
Halo 3 isn't just a game-it's an experience! The whole Halo 3 experience has GOTY written all over it. My gawd, and I thought Halo 2 had long legs...this kind of dev support, online support, LIVE interfacing, it blows everything else away. I can't wait.

Haha Dj, yea too much talking being done about H3 ending. I feel for X3F cause I know people are trying to ruin it for them too. Sadly the kind of work X3F does, it's really hard for them to completely block off the interwebz. I'll barely be on this site discretely until I beat H3.

Better watch out for Bungie.net the, Dj. Comingin Wed. when it goes live there's going to be all sorts of spoilers from the MVP's and whatnots that already have and are playing the game.

If Bungie hadn't proven themselves capable of of delivering on things like this in the past, this slew of new features would worry me.

How do you send a tip to X3F? Wanted to know if they have seen http:\\iammasterchief.com, but can find a way to email them.

@14 I've been using http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/contact/comments/
actually the first time was to mention that there should be an easier way to find that link ;) just to a control+F and search "contact" on the page.
- So I've been debating getting H3 but this and the 4 player coop seems just too good. Wish SR had this kind of stat tracking ;) ;)
Too many games! B/t Bioshock multiple play thru, H3, Orange Box, and Mass Effect I will not have any time! Ah well if a 360 drought comes I'll be prepared.
