Year: 2002

Thanks to Firfin, who pointed out a couple of French articles – a Halo review at Jeux Network (this has been added to the Reviews database), and a preview at VosJeux. Check ’em both out!

Spotted on IGN was this article on the Japanese release of Halo, which contains this tidbit: … would go without Halo, IGN`s game of the year for 2001… I can’t tell if this has already been announced to IGN Insiders (I don’t have an account) or it’s an editorial slip of the tongue. Any subscribers…

The Halo Story Page has been slowing down a bit lately… Word from the management is that they are understaffed and overworked, so they have put out the call for additional hands. If you have some spare time and you know and love Halo’s story, head over to this post and drop them a line.

What Count Zero said recently was true – I’m pretty much out of touch right now, and database updates are gonna be hard. However – I’ve found the time to add a couple of submissions to the One-Shots page, as well as a collection of images to the Tips and Tricks section. Yes, there are…

Posting this is probably futile, but it’s been a slow day… Yet again, a confirmation of the PC/Mac version of Halo has been posted. Perhaps a secondhand report from some random forum poster (no offense, Jager) will satisfy those who will not believe the official statements from Bungie.

Another mirror for Siva(W’rk)’s movie with the really long name has appeared, on the Subnova Satellite. I’ll set up a page to gather the mirrors soon(tm).

Mirror update: What Goes Up has appeared on Forerunners.org HL, and Bravehamster has had to pull Warthog Jump after 8,000 downloads and 160G. Thanks to everyone for the help!

Anyone who has submitted a gameplay tip/trick or a one-shot image may be wondering why it hasn’t been posted yet. Louis has been slowly converting the site to a très swankèy database setup that’s a vast improvement over the old applescripts-and-BBedit platform we used to run. The downside is that second-level grunts like me don’t…

There’s yet another HMV in town: Siva (W’rk) has made a fast and furious video named “How I Learned to Stop Playing and Love the Halo”, set to the heavy sounds of Napalm Death’s “Incendiary Incoming”. Mirrors have sprung up here (thanks to Mr. Zarquon) and here (thanks to the Psyjnir Complex). (I’d been holding…

Frogblast has posted a short video of a neat trick for taking out Banshees. Major Sack on that lad…

A new mirror for What Goes Up has gone up (heh) at Rampancy.net’s web site, to complement the copy on their Hotline server. All the mirrors so far can be found on our WGU Mirrors page.

This was spotted on the Marathon’s Story forums. I’m speechless.

More mirrors are appearing as What Goes Up hits Hotline on our mirrors list.

The fan fiction continues to roll in as dyoung92 sends in Part 3 of his take on possible events in Halo 2.

Need something to pass the time until the Bungie Store reopens? How about voting for what you want? Remember that Bungie browses these forums…

Another mirror for Warthog Jump has surfaced, hosting both the low and high-rez versions.

The fruits of the Halo video revolution are beginning to bloom… Aikidoka and Halorigin have put together a piece named What Goes Up, featuring more Warthog tomfoolery in the style of the original Warthog Jump (although these guys claim prior art with this post). But, since the movie is 35MB, we have the same problem…

Just a heads-up… I’m headed out of town for a bit. Count Zero’s on the case… but please don’t get on him if things take a bit longer than usual. Good help is SO hard to find. I’d hate to lose him because you folks chased him off…

Some good stuff over at the Halo Story page… even the homework assignment. Eep!

The One-Shots page gets a shot in the arm… or 4. Check it out.
