Year: 2000

A day for contemplation… Andreas Nasri speculates on the Covenant, and raises some interesting questions as to their motivations. This, too, can be found on our Theories page. Thanks, Tycho!

Kudos to Damien Sorresso, who sent us some thoughts on the possible connections between Marathon and Halo. You can find them on our Theories page. Thanks, Damien!

The Halo SETI marines gain some new members and increase their unit crunching. Halo SETI team are going places. Don’t get left behind. Join now!

Kudos to Jonathan Pearce for mirroring the 15 meg Halo clip from Day 3 of Bungie TV at ftp://158.111.61.86/halo.mov. Not working yet… give him a chance.

Aaron Sommer writes to say that his mirror of the 15 meg Halo clip is getting hit really hard (as are we). Please-if you have a really fast connection (DSL/Cable Modem/School Tx), download the full file from the bTV archives… leave the “little” file for slower-connection folks who can’t get the big one. (And if…

Robert Cox writes to tell us that iHALO is now recruiting. If you’re interested in joining, send mail to iNoddy99. (They’re getting new transmissions from somewhere daily, so stop by to take a look.) Pax.

Very nice new art from Stas “Shizo” Tsires for our Miscellaneous Art page. (Jump to the Bungie Mods section, then back up.) Thanks, Shizo!

Demand for the Halo-only footage from bTV’s Day 3 broadcast has swamped us! Luckily, others are coming to the rescue… Aaron Sommer is the first with a mirror. Think you have the bandwidth? Let us know! We’re serving something over 100 megs/hour of this movie, we could use your help!

For those of you who can’t handle a 211 megabyte download, we’ve cut out the 15 megs that’s pure Halo, and put it up for you to see. We’ve also added the transcription of Joe Staten’s intro, so that you know exactly what you’re getting. Go take a look!

The Halo SETI marines gain back all their lost units with an amazing 752 unit increase. Today’s 24 hours stats reveal all. Check the Halo team position in the Battle of the Teams.

“If you would like to see the real HaloHQ check it out at http://www.halohq.8m.com… …there is only room for one HaloHQ and I don’t intended on giving it up.” says DarkHalo. Whoa! Fighting words!

Want to watch the new Halo footage from Day 3 of bTV but a 32MB download is too much for you? Then check out JosephAW’s detailed Halo only clip taken from the bTV movie. (removed)

And it keeps on pouring in… Stryker writes to let us know that Halo HQ is a new site dedicated to Halo rings. They envision this site as a meeting place… and are soliciting feedback, at an early stage. Stop by and let ’em know what you think!

Matt Gilford writes to let us know that The Oxygen Tank has put up another transcript of Joe Staten’s Halo backstory narration from Day 2 of bTV. Loads a lot faster than the 177 meg quicktime movie!

Some sort of strangeness going on over at iHALO… cryptic messages seem to be the order of the day. What are they planning?

Day 3 of Bungie TV has just been posted. Day 4 is coming. Thanks to Yeroen (Bungie Software) for the heads up!

SETI server grinds to a halt. The Halo SETI team fail to gain any points due to a server problem. But individual team members keep crunching away.

Clash of the Titans…mmm… well Claude Errera interviewing Matt Soell anyway. Watch Matt squirm under a battery of questions about Halo, Oni and Bungie in general. The Matt Soell Interview.

The Marathon/Halo link is discussed on the Marathon’s Story page. Not for the faint of heart. As Joe suggests take some popcorn and a warm cuddly blanket. 😉
