Year: 2002

It’s not often any more that new behavior pops up in Halo. Ritalin, on our forum, discovered some that is pretty hard to explain. He was playing on the Maw, and found a spawn site for sentinels. I did some experimenting, and learned something odd; in this one particular location, the position of the player…

Mark Faruolo dropped off a sketch of the Halo cover art – you can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

One of the biggest complaints we have here is that uploading a file is quite difficult. We’ve finally made it easier. If you’ll check our navbar, there’s a new link in the ‘Admin’ section – HTTP uploads. If you’re having trouble using the FTP uploads link, try this; it works much better for browser uploads.…

Thanks to Pez and vector40, we’ve added a few mirrors for the Haliens movies, in both .wmv and .mov formats now. Check out the mirrors list… and feel free to add your server to it!

The ACM Microsoft Michigan Halo Tournament took place last Thursday. Over 100 players came together for the largest team event to date… and Team PS walked away with the prize. Check out the website for details on the individual rounds, plus pics, prize listings, and more! Thanks to Steve Messinger for the heads-up.

It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly watchable. Thanks to the work of Cybrfrk and customsex, and a little help from Apple and Sorenson, we’ve got a decent version of the recent Haliens movie for you in QuickTime format. Anyone who had trouble with the .wmv version… this puppy’s for you. Currently, it’s only at Mythica.org…

Whew – a productive Saturday morning! In between recycling, and kid-shuttling, I’ve managed to bring the Movies, Interviews, and (most importantly) Miscellaneous databases up to date! Boy, does that feel good. More than 2 dozen miscellaneous items have been added, along with half-a-dozen interviews and about that many movies. Enjoy! (Time to clean the windows.)

Vector40 has let us know that Rampancy.net is providing a mirror for Crocodile Bungie’s Speed video – we’ve added it to the Mirrors list. We’re still working on the Haliens format issue…

Lorraine Reyes (via Matt Soell) points out on Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation that G4Tv’s Filter program has given Halo a few nods; Number 1 in their Top 10 Arsenals program, and Numbers 1 (Warthog) and 3 (Scorpion) in their Top 10 Coolest Vehicles program. Not too shabby!

5 months ago, ‘The Matrix (Halo Remix)’ hit the streets; it was a movie that recreated the entire first scene of The Matrix, within the Halo engine. (It did a bang-up job of it, too.) Now, c0ld vengeance and demonelite have taken on a similar task… check out Haliens, a kickass new movie that recreates…

Ecko dropped off a new desktop for our Wallpaper collection.

Friday’s Fan Fiction:A Halo Novelization: Chapter 1, by MarioMTO Shadows of Archon II, part 26, by Wado JENKINS, by Dyn Off to work on art stuff…

Thanks to Pez, who has resurrected his FTP server, and added new mirrors for the Speed movies (both sizes) and Heaven and Hell. Speed’s capped at a pretty low figure, but it should be fine for slower links. Thanks, Pez!

We haven’t mentioned the next Halo novel in a while – since September 9, to be precise. At that point, we knew that the title would be ‘Halo: The Flood’, the author would be William Dietz, and the release date was set for sometime in April 2003. Now, thanks to Dave Candland, we know what…

How much would you pay for a Master Chief patch? How about a Legendary one? Warbow’s just designing them, not actually producing them, but I bet if there were interest…

In 1998, when people were stil playing Quake, a group of insane people decided to not only see how fast they could get through the entire game, but to put together their results in attractive, viewable packages. The result was Quake Done Quick. Now, nobody’s EVER going to run through Halo in under 15 minutes…

The boys over at Battleground: Halo have wrangled a bit of time with the Master Chief, and have posted an interview with the guy. Always nice to get a view behind the curtain!

GJ, of Fantazm, drops us a line about a mirror for Heaven and Hell… which is good, because there’s another movie coming today. Let’s hope Mythica can hold up to the demand!

Eclectic? Yes. For your viewing pleasure today, we’ve got a poster for a movie we’d rather not see, an early Christmas present, and an astounding (and huge) battlefield sketch in our Miscellaneous Art collection.
