Year: 2002

More movie info – Rampancy.net (now at rampancy.synfibers.com, since the dns is still hosed) has put up a 9 mb, 480×320 version of ‘Halo: The Movie’ – it’s actually 240×180 doubled, but the compression’s decent, and it looks good. Nice choice for limited bandwidth users. It’s been added to the mirrors page. Also, Brian Towne…

Three more tricks for you in the Gameplay Tricks section – pete_the_duck does some exploring on Halo and Silent Cartographer. More coming soon!

LaZ_EyE has submitted another pair of desktop images – this time in muted greys. Check ’em out in our Wallpaper section.

StormSinger turns in another great render – this time it’s pistol ammo. You’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

When it rains, it pours… we’ve got another one, and this one’s worth watching, too! It’s a gameplay vid, not a cinematic piece… but it’s got some laugh-out-loud footage in it. It was recorded by Ian Haddock during last weekend’s Battle of the Bay… and man, now I wanna play 16-player rockets-only on Blood Gulch!…

Mirror, mirror, everywhere… if the 27 mb version of ‘Halo: The Movie’ is too much for you, we’ve added a 9.4 mb version that’s just a bit more compressed. (Still pretty good to watch.) In addition, CYBRFRK has re-encoded it to .wmv format – this one’s only 5.6 mb, and is probably the way to…

Another The Halo Movie mirror – this time in France. Thanks, Firfin, of Halo-game.com! (We’ve added it to the mirror page.)

The (temporary) End of an Era. Vector40 announced that The Repertory is down, until the silliness invoked by his web host can be fixed. It’ll be back… but in these times of high-bandwidth-need… we’ll miss her.

Okay, enough with the hate mail – here’s the dang movie. (There are at least 2 more mirrors coming soon, and quite possibly a couple of other formats/sizes for the film – so if you have trouble with a 27 mb .mov, be patient.) This is Brian Josselyn’s nod to Final Fantasy… and to Halo…

Two new Fan Fiction bits – Jehkoh has written another poem, and Vector40 has written… well, an ode. (An uplifting one, even.) Read ’em both in our Fan Fiction section.

Brian Josselyn, of Blackstar Productions, has created a new Halo vid – it’s a trailer for Halo, the Movie. (Okay, it’s a trailer for Aliens, mostly – but let’s not nitpick.) Masterful use of existing Halo footage (including some fantastic inclusions from older stuff), topnotch moviemaking skills, and high-quality sound make this a film to…

Whoa – six, count ’em, six new desktop images submitted in the last day or two – go take your pick in our Wallpaper section.

Four more stories for you: Aftermath, Part 3 by Alex Cross Operation: False Prophets, Part 7 by Ian Barnes The Eyes of the Enemy, by Gasmask After Halo, Part 2 by Black_Jackal These, and many, many more are in our Fan Fiction section…

Heh – Peter Marks, Bungie Troublemaker Extraordinaire, points out an article at MacGamer which might make some long-time visitors chuckle. Apparently, though… not Matt Soell. Ah, well… can’t please everyone.

Due to an amazingly boneheaded mistake I made over a month ago, every Gameplay Trick uploaded since late February has taken twice as long to load on your computer than it should have. (Maybe more than twice.) The problem has been fixed, finally… and we’ve added three new ones – okay, three parts of a…

Bobble-headed Halo toys… what’s next? (I want one.)

We thought it was too much to ask… but those miracle workers at Bungie never sleep. The Bungie Store is open! Go buy your Grunt Plush Doll today!

Halo Babies! Bungie takes the wraps off their newest project, an animated television project scheduled to debut this fall. Check the Tru7h and Reconciliation website for all the details! (Video clips are coming – we can’t wait! (Thanks to Djof, on our forum, and Jester, via email, for the heads-up.)

A few descriptions of the carnage that took place at the Hilton Towers in San Francisco (yesterday’s Battle of the Bay) have been posted on our forum. Thanks to Psyrixx, Appleicious, and Tarrsk for their input… hopefully there’ll be more!

Wh00t! (As of the time of this post, the Mac version is incomplete – you won’t be able to unstuff it, because the Binhex file didn’t completely upload, it seems. This will likely be fixed soon. The Windows version is fine, though… the Error message is a riot.)
