Year: 2000

Fan Fiction page updated with a story snagged off our forum… thanks, MacGuyver!

Faust sends word that the Halo clan page for Black Death Union is online. Still needs a bit of filling out… but go on by and check it out!

The Halo SETI Marines climb another notch to 106. Next up, a group that… oh, wait, wrong update. Anyway, here’s the 24 hour stats.

Seems Stomped might have gotten upset over ballot-box stuffing… There was a furious spate of activity at roughly 6:30 UT today, in which the Giants vote increased by over 2000, and the Halo vote by about half that… then the poll was reset, and soon after, the Stomped E3 site became unreachable. Stomped! Pax.

No prisoners! The Halo SETI marines climb two places to position 107 in the Battle of the Teams. Witness total carnage. Join up before you get left behind!

Seen on our forum: Stomped is hosting a new poll: “which upcoming title interests you the most?” Go Stomp ’em! Pax.

Interesting thread on multiplayer motivations and some options to make gameplay better can be found on our forum. Check in and contribute!

Posted yesterday, but forgot to mention… the Fan Fiction section has been updated again. Thanks, DJ!

Snagged off b.org’s hotline server, <hl.bungie.org>, this image was originally part of an Inside Mac Games feature called gMac. (The feature is about building the ultimate mac gaming platform… appropriate picture!)

Derk Bil (aka Chaos) Senior Editor at Gamers Central defends his Halo preview in a letter to Mr. Matrix. Mr. Matrix posted it to our forums. You can read it here. Pax.

The Halo SETI Marines fly up to 109th place in the Club Team listings.. you guys are amazing! Read about the 24 hour stats.

Shamelessly snagged from the Core… World Online has a new Halo preview. This one is entertaining reading-the author took, um… a few liberties. Examples: [on the locale] Imagine the planet Saturn with its rings of debris floating around it. Pretty spectacular sight eh? Well, imagine encountering another Saturn, but this time the ring is made…

Take no prisoners! The Halo SETI marines move up two places to 113 in the Battle of the Teams. We welcome back Steevil and two new recruits yuko and dDave to the top 100. The 24 hour stats reveal our crunching power! Stand aside or be roadkill!

Somethin’ funny goin’ on over at HALO-NET… Pax.

Woo-hoo! In response to an undisclosed offer that may or may not have involved beer, Steevil has returned to the Halo SETI Marines. We’re back on track for a March break-in to the top 100 club teams!

The clan formerly known as U.S.C.M. has moved to a new server, and gotten a new name: Massive Damage Incorporated. They’re currently looking for new members… so if you’re looking for a group to join, take a look! Pax.

A new German news site has come online. Check out the Fightin’ Guardians… they’ll keep you informed! (If you want to skip the flash intro, you can jump right to the Halo site.)

Halo SETI Marine goes AWOL! The loss of a 445-unit member hits the team hard… We need to make up for it! (Welcome to Frog in a Box, who brings in 45 units… definitely softens the blow!) Details to be found on the 24 hour stats page.

Thanks to Damien Sorresso, who sends us a new desktop pic for our Wallpaper page. Very simple… but noone’s submitted it before. Pax.

Mark Naylor writes to tell us that there was a small review of Halo on the (presumably British) TV program Cybernet. If anyone has more information, we’d love to hear about it!
