The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2002

  • Chiron for UT

    Mad Cow points out that he’s working on a version of the Halo multiplayer map Chiron for Marathon: Resurrection, an Unreal Tournament mod. Check out some screens!

  • Pinning down those dates…

    Yeroen, over at Bungie.net, points out that at the G4 website there’s an episode of ‘Arena’ called ‘Halo Tournament’ – this is likely when the HNC finals will be broadcast. Friday, November 20, at 11 pm EDT. This make it more likely that the earlier link we provided is just for the Halo 2 trailer.

  • Light Tuesday Reading

    A pair of Fan Fiction pieces for you today: Revolution, part 5, by Gruntkiller Shadows of Archon II, part 8, by Wado Take a look…

  • G4 film date

    Randy Glass points out that G4 (the guys who filmed the Halo National Championship finals) is airing a special Halo episode of their ‘Cinematech’ show on September 4, at 8 pm PDT. There’s no synopsis posted yet… but if any HBO readers get this cable channel and would like to tape it and send it…

  • Labor Day Reading

    For your perusal, more Fan Fiction:Revolution, part 4, by Gruntkiller Rise To Honor, part 23, by Shadow Unexpected Surprises, part 2, by JediKnight114 Titan, part 5, by Jaywhit10 Last post for the day, methinks…

  • Love that bulletin board…

    A new desktop image from Dante – you’ll find it in our Wallpaper section.

  • HJP comes online

    This came in Saturday, but due to the holiday weekend, it was overlooked. HaloJuggaloProductions has gone live – it’s a Halo site with Halo news, some downloads (ENORMOUS gameplay movies – 80 mb for under 4 minutes of rockets on Blood Gulch, for example), an upcoming forum. Check ’em out!

  • Seven sources, concatenated

    Took a little while to get it up to the mirror sites… but we’ve put together a mirror page for Dan Chosich’s Seven video, with multiple sources for all three versions. Thanks to all the bandwidth donators – and if you’d like to add yourself to the list, drop us a line. Go see this…

  • Seven is Darker

    Thanks to the kind folks at Been Mawed, we have another mirror for Dan Chosich’s Seven video. Slick gameplay editing at its best! Grab the movie here. A full mirror list will definitely be up tomorrow. Enjoy!

  • Another cool movie

    Dan Chosich has created yet another vid – they just get better and better. The most troubling thing about Halo Seven is the need to stop the film to see if what you think you saw was really there. (That’s not a bad thing.) There’s some fantastic stuff in this one – but don’t watch…

  • Eep – overlooked art

    DOH! More box art came in yesterday – and we almost missed it! Inspired by a comment by Jason Jones, created by Razorback. Nice piece of work. It’s in our Miscellaneous Art section, too.

  • Whoa – our very own flyer

    *Ar-Isildur of WP* has created a flyer to advertise this very site. It’s available in a hi-res PDF file in both black and olive… we’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. We’re touched.

  • Who are those guys?

    For those who want a slightly better picture of the Bungie Dream Team, you can find it here – the only member missing is Max Hoberman. Having seen some of these guys play together a couple of times, I have to say I’m really impressed that the Finalists (a group of guys who never played…

  • HNC Finals in print

    A quiet day at HBO yesterday, becauuse we had a 14-hour Halo lanfest going on here. (Well, okay, the first two hours were pretty slow, because we had some configuration problems that turned out to be user error… but there was a lot of gaming, anyway. 🙂 ) In the meantime, mnemesis finished his writeup…

  • 7 is the loneliest number…

    Wow. A whole MESS of new miscellaneous art showed up today. And it sure is miscellaneous… take a look.

  • Beautiful musings

    A short writeup about the Halo trailer (due on Wednesday) has been posted to our forum, by mnemesis. No footage, unfortunately… but a glowing review and a promise of more (over at b.net) soon.

  • Alex is gone…

    Back in July, we mentioned that Alex Seropian was leaving Bungie. Yesterday, this came to pass. Good luck, Alex – and thanks for all the great games.

  • So who won?

    A HNC pseudo-update from Matt Soell – no real details… but the Bungie Dream Team is aiming for a win. Check it out at Bungie.net.
