While surfing YouTube I remembered my insane death while playing Halo 1, take a look.

Forge Variants in Real Playlists!
Ever wished you could play matchmaking on your maps? Well Bungie has announced it. Bungie will make you fill out a few guidelines and you can give them your map. They will then check everything on it and edit it if necessary. Then you can play that map in Matchmaking! You read it here first.
New Map!!!!!
Recently beta tested at PAX, Codename purple reign is now known as Assembly. Yes, Bungie gave us screenshots.
Bungie didn't say when they would release the map, but it will probably be around the time of the September update. The only thing I realize here is the mistake of Bungie not including vehicles. Although I don't see a need for vehicles on an indoor map, if you notice how absolutely large this is you will agree... Forge will probably allow for the same Ghost and Mongoose, or maybe more... Some new Vehicles have been rumored.
Read the post on Bungie.net.
On a larger note, Bungie appears to still be working on Halo 4. The good news is, a bit of information has been leaked. The graphics are supposedly done with a newer and better graphics engine. Master Chief gets an even better suit, and a new race of Aliens are to be fought. A new map codenamed "Genocide" has also been leaked. The layout is supposed to be even and simple. Similar to the Halo 2 map "Burial Mounds."
I'm sure we are all anxious to hear from Bungie about the three new projects they are working on, two of which aren't Halo related.
Whether Bungie announces a new Halo game, or a completely different game in the Halo universe, or even three completely unrelated games, remember: you read it here first.

Halo 1 Loves You, Bungie
As a tribute to Bungie and Halo 3, A group of modders has decided to create a Valhalla map for Halo 1. These modders seem very good at what they do, and so we should be seeing Valhalla in Halo PC very soon. Watch the progress here.

AHA! I am finally back on my computer! Just in time, too!
Well, Bungie recently announced some Halo 3 updates. The main ones were four new maps: Epilogue, Boundless, Sand Tarp, and Pit Stop.
These are simply changed from the maps Epitaph, Snowbound, Sand Trap, and The Pit. For Epilogue and Boundless, they simply have most of the energy shields removed as well as some weapon changes. Sand Tarp is Sand Trap without the Elephants, the bases are also changed so when you play one sided games defenders are at the vehicle base and the attackers are in the old flag spawn. Not much has been said about pit stop, simply the following line of text:
They are also changing up slayer a bit. You now spawn with a pistol and AR.
The playlists are going to be completely different. You will notice on September 16 that Ranked Big Team has been replaced with "Squad Battle" which is six players to a team.
You will be very disappointed to lose some doubles partners because you now need EVERY map to play in the Team Doubles playlist. Yes, Heroic, Legendary, Cold Storage, and the new maps released Sep 16.
You do get Big Team in the DLC playlists so you may be happy yet again, but no more Valhalla Heavies...
You can read the post here.
You will notice the new Halo 3 Tricks youtube player on the bottom of the page, this plays a Halo 3 Tricks episode of your choice. A new theme for the page will also come soon.

Added Pit Stop – The Pit with inaccessible spawn hives. Added alongside default map variant.

Halo 3 Blog
Well, it has been years since I blogged. I had gotten a bit carried away since I made that walkthrough for SM64DS. I'll delete those two-post blogs when I am back on my refreshing iMac and off of this iPod touch. Well I decided to pull out my 360 and start a blog about the future of Halo. I'll be the first to update you on the new maps like Moonlight Sonata, Halo Wars, Halo Chronicals, Halo 4, and even the Halo Movie. Check daily as I will post right away. I will talk to Bungie employees to get the latest info. And yes, I will fix the freaking background when I am on my iMac and off this touch. This is Nate signing off. See you on XBox Live.
