Posted by urk at 2/8/2010 11:03 AM PST

Out there, past them trees. You see it? I see you.

Hot on the heels of our Guardian Postmortem it's a good time to take a traipse through the wooded spaces that encompass Guardian's ancient platforms. This week's Tag and Release features a set of images that show off the surrounds. Hopefully, they also show off our community files collection.

If you don't like what you see, then you probably have terribly bad taste. Not a problem though, you can find tons of images in our community files collection. There's bound to be something you like tucked away in our forest of fan crafted content.

Firefight Friday: Lost Zoo 

Posted by urk at 2/5/2010 9:08 AM PST

Up for a challenge?

HBO's FyreWulff prepped a new menagerie designed to deal death to any ODST daring enough to drop into Lost Platoon. No matter what difficulty you play on, he's got an animal that'll keep you engaged.  Jump into the ring!

"First week after launch, a new challenge for all difficulties! Drop into Lost Platoon and battle it out on foot - no vehicles are allowed. And have fun with the Wraith - the Laser has been banned from use.

The site is still in beta at the moment, but it's got a spiffy layout now. Should be out of beta in not too long."
