Whoa – pretty cool. Nathan Falslev has built a dropship (and warthog) out of Legos… nicely done! (There’s also a page devoted to the Warthog itself.) Thanks to Leo Shklovskii for the heads-up.

Ack! A piece of artwork came in a couple of days ago – slipped by in the confusion. Recovered, now… you can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. What the Master Chief is doing in his off hours…

Dogsounds builds a new MC for your desktop – find the result in our Wallpaper section.

A couple more movie mirrors… arcor pops the Ultimate Warthog Jumps vid on Xbox4uweb, and Nukedude mirrors the wmp9 version of the Halo 2 trailer. These have both been added to the mirror lists. Thanks, guys!

Nice. vector40 points out a post at the Junkyard forums from someone building a Halo-based mode for Tribes 2. There are shots of the MC model, an Elite, and the assault rifle. (All need to be pasted into new browser windows to load properly.) Check it out!

After 56 days of drought, the Tricks page gets updated through the end of July. Only 3 months behind! Gah. Anyway, go check out the 6 new tricks posted in the Gameplay Tricks section. (I’ve decided to leave out Frogblast’s tricks until I’ve cleared the rest of the queue – there are just so many…

A pair of colorful desktops have been added to our Wallpaper section. Update: Random Hero just dropped one off – you can see it here, or with the other two here. This one’s dark. 🙂

Halo Orbit, in Germany, has put up a mirror for the Ultimate Warthog Jumps film, as well. We’ve created a mirror list, to make your life easier.

The banners come alive! Patroclus submits an animated banner extolling the… um, virtues (yeah, that’s it) of Halo 2. Check it out in our Banners section!

vector40 writes to point out that Rampancy.net has mirrored the OXM UK Ultimate Warthog Jump movie. If you haven’t grabbed this yet, and the existing mirrors are tight… go visit R.net. Thanks! Update: Note to self: read all the incoming mail before posting… StarWarsFanMan has put up a copy at his Forerunners-hosted Green Marines, as…

The October cover disc of the Official UK Xbox Magazine contained a Warthog Jump competition. They solicited innovative warthog jumps from their readers, then rated them on Height, Landing, and Originality. The 18 jumps included in the video ranged from a score of 12/30 up to a pretty impressive 27/30. Even the duds are pretty…

Ross Mills sent in a desktop image he’s been using for a while. It combines one of Bungie’s wallpapers with a poem called ‘The Reaper’ – written by T. GhostWolf Davidson and used in a fake ‘Cortana Letter’ that circulated recently. (You can read more about the situation in this forum thread.) Ross’ desktop, meanwhile,…

Continuing with the banner theme, Warbow sends in one of his own. You’ll find it in our Banners section. Update: the image is considerably smaller now.

Pair of new desktops avaiable… in our Wallpaper section.

Justin Bernard turns in another piece of artwork promoting the squad Delta Force – this time it’s a banner. We’ve reduced the display size (so that it fits on the page), but the original is available as well.

FunkyCheesMunkey draws another Halo pic for our Miscellaneous Art section. (It’s really, really big, so if you load it and see only white in your browser window, realize you have to scroll a LOT to get to any content.)

Okay, I guess this is sort of Halo-related… Matthew Ramos created an Xbox Yahoo Messenger skin, and the MC has a prominent place in it. You can see a preview he sent of the skin in action (42K), or you can download the skin itself (172K). I’m not sure we’re the best place for Instant…

Heh – in an article from the Houston Chronicle’s Sports 2 section front page last Sunday, tossed into the middle of a pretty funny discussion of what happens when real-life football players run up against their electronic doppelgangers is a tidbit of Halo goodness.On the other side of the room, a group of offensive linemen…
