Siege of Madrigal Song Hidden in Halo 3 – Just Like Halo 1
Turns out, the Siege of Madrigal song from Myth made it into Halo 3, in a similar fashion to how it was hidden in Halo 1.
On the level, “The Covenant”, near the end of the level (right after defeating the two scarabs, but before going inside) you can get to the top left of the Citadel, and if you stand still and listen closely, you can hear the song. Defeating the Scarabs may not be required, but will make it a lot easier to hear. You may need to enable the energy bridge, and wait for the main game music to stop before being able to clearly hear it.
Great easter egg! Very nice find
Halo 3 Skull Locations coming soon
I’d like to inform our viewers that we plan to have a comprehensive list of all of the Halo 3 Skull Locations… hopefully by the time the game releases on September 25th. We’d like to hold the information off until the game is actually released, just so that we are responsible for any Pre-release spoilers.
We managed to grab a few copies of the game early on, and have been spending a lot of our time finding various Halo 3 Easter Eggs, as well as the skulls (which play into the meta games of Halo 3’s campaign). Using skulls will now multiply your score in the meta games, making it easier (although we use this term very loosely) to achieve specific score achievements.
Free Pass for 2, Halo 3 Premiere IMax in London
We are giving away a free pass to the Halo 3 Premiere in London to any of our visitors from the UK! Just let us know if you’re interested in going, and we’ll randomly select a winner!
We mentioned this contest a while back and we ended up winning a ticket for ourselves. Fortunately for you, we are not going to be able to attend this night, which is why we are giving our seat, and a seat for a guest away.
Let us know if you want these passes! We need to know very soon!
Bungie’s Blue Filters to hit the B.net store soon!
From Bungie.net:
One of the many bonus features shipping in Halo 3’s Limited and Legendary Editions is the Audio/Video Calibration tool. While it’s not remotely necessary for an enjoyable Halo 3 experience, those who want to fine tune their visual calibration will want to pick up the Blue Filter. We’re planning on making these filters available in the Bungie Store as soon as possible and at minimal cost to consumers. When they are available and/or we have more details about their availability, we’ll update you here at Bungie.net.
This blue filter (or a similar one) can alternatively bought by some photo retailers according to some Halo fans. The blue filter is no an essential item, but along with the AV Calibration tool that comes with the Limited and Legendary Edition, it supposedly will make for an even BETTER playing experience.
We’ll update you when the Bungie Blue Filters get to the online store.
Get Halo 3 Early?
Want to get Halo 3 before all your friends? Well, it’s possible, but is it worth $1000?
A week or so ago, we saw a few PAL copies of the game go on Ebay for less than $200, but now there is a new auction up with the buy it now price set to $1000. The starting bid is $150.
No proof of authenticity, so we are skeptical. We’ll look into it a bit more to see if this is for real.
Update:
The Seller got back to me with some photos of the game in hand.
How are people getting this game early? It appears to be authentic.
Halo 3 “Believe” Ad Hits the Interwebs a bit early
Earlier today, someone uploaded the Halo 3 “Believe” ad to YouTube (part of a series scheduled to show on Yahoo all week). The “Believe” ad follows yesterdays “Mueseum” ad. The YouTube version has since been taken down, but you can find it over at GameVideos.com
The rest of the series, and other videos will all be available on Xbox.com/believe, and the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, the 14th.
The central element that much of the integrated marketing campaign centers on is a painstakingly accurate replication of a key moment from a climactic battle set in the “Halo” universe. At over 1200 square feet, reaching a height over 12 feet above the ground and with each handcrafted human and Covenant figure standing eight to twelve inches high, the diorama was large enough to fill an entire studio…
Shooting the campaign took several days as the individual soldier’s stories were told, and as the camera spanned the landscape, finally resting on the mountain top where Master Chief appears to have been conquered by the Covenant enemy…or so it would seem. Viewers quickly realize that there is much more of the story that’s yet to be told – and the game will tell all.
Nice little write up over at TeamXbox.
