Go read! Then (if you…

  • Zombies 101

    Cramesta submitted ‘Zombies 101’, a film which walks the viewer through some of the potential pitfalls of the popular Zombies gametype, to the MPRRS – they didn’t pass it, but it pretty much came down to a single review that kept it from passing, so I’m posting it anyway. It’s nicely filmed, has great music…

  • IGN breaks down Halo 3 trailer

    IGN posted ‘IGN Weekly Episode 10’, a look back at E3 for the most part. It’s 30 minutes long; the relevance here is that the entire last half is devoted to the Halo 3 trailer. Much of the discussion has already been hashed out on our forum, and large chunks are seriously debatable… but it’s…

  • Playing for Time

    According to sawnose (a Bungie.net superuser), yesterday afternoon saw a pretty impressive milestone passed on Xbox Live – 3,333,333,333 player-games recorded. (A player-game is one game played by one player – so a head-to-head match would count as 2 player-games, while a full 6v6 match would be 12 player-games.) 3.3 BILLION player-games… at let’s say…

  • Nice Halo 2 Devmode Shots

    synide took a bunch of pics using a screenshot trainer – Devmode in Halo 2 gives you some pretty incredible angles! They’re all hosted at Flickr.
