Another film for you – we haven’t seen this style in quite some time, but I felt it was pretty well done. It’s called ‘Can’t Wait’, and it’s an adrenaline pumper for Halo 2. Made up of stills and clips from existing movies, it’s cut together pretty nicely. (It fills its small niche pretty full,…

IGN has posted 11 new Halo PC screens (mostly multiplayer) – they’re only 800×600, but they’re still beautiful. (Nobody over there has Dave Candland’s setup skills, though…) They’re available to everyone – check ’em out! Thanks to strato99l for the first heads-up. Update: There’s an article that goes with these, available to all. Thanks to…

More mirrors: Blade, of Ice Team, has mirrored the three FTC vids (already mirrored by Mythica a couple of days ago and That Weasel more recently):FTC Vid 1FTC Vid 2FTC Vid 3If you need descriptions, follow the Mythica mirror link for more info. Remember, these are in .avi format, DivX5-encoded. New mirrors rock – they…

Halogamers has put up the character intro for their Sidewinder Saga series – go visit their movies section. It’s in two flavors (640×480 QT, 14 mb and 320×240 QT, 4 mb), so both broadband and dialup folks should be able to see this. As described on their front page, Sidewinder Saga is filled with guys…

Not to be outdone, IGN has put up a Halo PC preview as well. It’s not 5 small clips – it’s one mongo one, and it’s only available to insiders. It comes in two flavors (400×300 QT, 84 mb and 320×240 QT, 55 mb), and it’s 5:29 long. It’s not all multiplayer footage – it’s…

More Winning Isn’t Everything news: The mirror that Blade put up earlier has been yanked (because of a directory name change) – it should be back up by tomorrow. Newly online is a copy at That Weasel Television (who points out that he’s also got the three FTC vids we posted a little bit ago).…

Another new job opening at Bungie… this time it’s Editor for Bungie.net. (Man, if they weren’t in Washington…) Can you write? Do you have a passion for Bungie games? There might be a place for you! (Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up.)

DOH! Probably pays to actually have your email client running – Slashdot posted a note about (among other things) Winning isn’t Everything, but luckily, included a BitTorrent mirror for it, so Mythica didn’t get hammered. if you haven’t downloaded WIE yet, and you’d rather use BitTorrent, head on over to GameTab and grab a copy!

The Dialogue Databank is up over 350 snippets – we’ve already got stuff I’ve never heard in-game. (Have you heard Sarge saying this?) Browse away! (I’m beginning to realize that ‘5000 snippets’ counts some things 6 or 7 times – both Sergeants and all the marines (plus, in some cases, the crewmen) have their own…

Gamespot has put up 5 new Halo PC clips – but all are behind the Gamespot Complete wall. If you don’t pay, you don’t play. (I no longer have a Gamespot Complete membership, so I can’t even describe them to you.) Thanks to strato99l for the heads-up.

Folks have bandied about the ‘3 million sold’ figure for Halo for the last couple of months… but today, Microsoft and Bungie have announced officially that that number has been reached. From the official press release:Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today annnounced that the critically acclaimed "Halo: Combat Evolved” for Xbox has sold over…

Six months ago, Mike Miller put together a film called ‘In Too Deep’. It rocked. Well, he’s back – the new one’s called ‘Winning isn’t Everything’, and it rocks, too. 19.2 mb of QuickTime goodness – it’s just over 4 and a half minutes long, and it’s filled with a combination of tricks (most of…

Ross Mills has begun a contest – design a Halo menu, win a cool Halo poster. Rules (and they’re somewhat intricate) can be found in this post. You’ve got two weeks.

The Weapons Respawn chart, begun almost a year ago, has now been completed – thanks to Annihil8or for the help! If you ever needed to know how long it would be until that Shotgun appeared again… this is the page to see.

MC tries out his new capabilities in today’s One One Se7en. I’m thinkin’ he’s not enjoying himself very much.

The Dialogue Databank has swelled to over 300 snippets (with more coming in every day) – if you have recording equipment, grab your own! You can get all of today’s additions here.

GameFaqs is running a one-day poll; Master Chief vs Felix (from Golden Sun). Go vote.

A week ago, Chris Bryan submitted a photograph of a gun he’s built – pretty amazing stuff. We’ve recently received two MORE photos from him – so we’ve tossed together a small page for this project. Now THAT’S a Halo fanatic.

There’s quite a lot of good stuff in the Miscellaneous Art section today… but I’ve got to draw your attention to the final image of the group, entitled Melee Madness. It’s simply stunning. (This is not to say the rest isn’t worth seeing – it’s a pretty eclectic mix today. Grab it all!)

Another (very large) banner has been submitted to our Banners section – sure looks a lot like the one underneath it, though there doesn’t seem to be any relation between the submitters…
