Month: July 2003

A couple of days ago, SouthPaw posted a note on our forum, asking about an odd shape on the top of the pistol. Shishka grabbed a pic – and identified it as a Japanese ‘7’. (BOLL later got a better shot.) Looked like an egg… and lo and behold, that’s exactly what it is. Check…

Wraith writes that Halo: Shadow Ops is up and running over at Forerunners.org. The hook? Check out the Sounds page, with 45 genuine Grunt WAV files, recorded in-game. (7mb download.) Nice!

The CPL Winter 2003 Championships has been announced – Dallas, TX, December 16-20, 2003. Three tournaments, including a $30,000 Halo PC (team) tournament. Nice! (Thanks to kappa, who noticed it on Cached.net.)

Marathon again… and some other good stuff. Check out the Halo Story Page. Yeah, baby.

One One Se7en looks at Covenant naming standards. Um… yeah.

SketchFactor has posted a note to Bungie.net – if you’re interested in pre-ordering Halo Action Figures, you can do so now at the Bungie Store. Oooh… I want that Warthog.

The Fan Fiction authors have just become guinea pigs again. I’ve made some changes in how the Series name gets chosen; it’ll be much, much harder to forget to add it (or to add the wrong one) now – you’ll have to work at it. 🙂 Of course, it hasn’t been rigorously tested yet -…

NazdaH has put up another driver-jumping movie (this one FOCUSES on the driver jumps) – lots of places, lots of heights. Again – as we mentioned a couple of days ago, this is a single-person trick; all you need is a warthog, and something to bounce off of. (Basically, you’re translating your forward momentum you…

A surprisingly deep collection of artwork today has been added to the Miscellaneous art section, including a nice faked Halo2 shot, an interesting take on Cortana, and a pair of simply gorgeous comic-style MCs from ZZoMBiE13 (I’d love to have these last two hanging on my wall!). Check ’em all out!

mehve has updated the Bungie community on the Halo Action Figures – they’re on their way out of the factory right now! They should be hitting the Bungie Store (and other outlets) by early August. Go read about the details! Update: mehve points out that the key points of this news bit have been added…

c0ld vengeance and BOLL have put together another Halo Hide and Seek; identify where, in Halo, you’ll find the images posted. There are currently 12 images, in 4 separate posts (to keep from totally overloading dial-up visitors)… in the half-hour since the contest went live, already 2 of the 12 images have been identified! Jump…

Telefragged has put up an interview with Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox, about Halo PC. Much of the info is already out there, but there are some new tidbits. For example, there will be a ‘Classic’ mode in multiplayer that leaves things exactly as they are in the Xbox version, for the purists. (No banshees…

Dave Writz of Halogamers.com has found a new place to use the ghost jumping trick on Sidewinder – it’s a pretty fast in-and-out when you’re headed for a flag capture! Take a look; 6.4 mb in MPEG2 format. (If anyone has real trouble with the format, let us know – I’m sure Dave would be…
