Month: July 2003

Continuing the trend of posting 3-month-old screenshots, Gamespot put up 12 new pics yesterday, as well. They’ve all been seen before – but some of the Prophet variants they put up are larger than any alternatives posted to date. Worth a look, if you’re an avid collector. Ross Mills was the first to notice on…

Looks like a bunch of US servicemen stationed in Iraq organized a Halo tournament over the Fourth of July weekend… not a bad way to spend it! TeamXbox has the details (and a nice pic). Thanks to Caligula Caesar for the heads-up.

Dylan Velasquez writes to tell us of a recreation he’s made of the Halo map Longest for the Half-Life engine (for use in Counter-Strike) – check out this preview (105K). Lookin’ good!

Okay, so Mythica’s been back online now for 44 hours. In that time, it’s served 260 GB of movies to you greedy bastards. What are you trying to do… kill it? Well, fine. Chew on THIS. It’s a 12.4 mb QuickTime version of a movie released by MaverickJ back in late June (originally in both…

Wow. That didn’t take very long. About 20 hours ago, I posted a note about a contest sponsored by gwdp….to, involving getting in to the separated room on Chill Out. Almost 2 hours ago, Macegac posted a movie (with BOLL’s hosting help) showing the completion of that challenge – and this is something that folks…

Devin Olsen has created a Mountain Dew parody – you can find it on Lion’s Truth and Reconciliation site. It’s just under a minute long, and weighs in at 7.7 mb. If you haven’t seen the original it’s based on, don’t fret – it’s included. QuickTime format.

Captain Spark has turned in another 39 snippets for the Dialogue Databank. Along with the bits submitted by Jamirus99, Gholsbane, and Wraith yesterday, these bring the total up to almost 210 samples. There are some good ones in there! (If you choose to record – do your best to get clean samples, without a lot…

ToTheGame has ALSO put up ‘new’ screenshots; again, these are pre-E3, and most have been seen before. However, the first shot (a Brute model) and the last (a nice shot of the new Warthog) are really new. Check it out! Thanks to Eclarap, of Halo-Game, for the heads-up.

Team Xbox has put up 7 ‘new’ screens from Halo 2 – actually, they’re digital versions of some images posted in the June issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. (Three have appeared online, in a slightly smaller form, already – check our Screenshots section for details.) Thanks to CuBaNo for the heads-up.

gwdp….to went on a movie-posting spree last night; he was kind enough to organize all the links in one post. They’re all pretty small (none of them are over 7.5 mb) and show a variety of things. Descriptions can be found in the thread that post resides in, if the movie’s not self-explanatory enough for…

In the continuing process of clearing out the Movie queue, we’ve got a 14.7 mb QuickTime for you of the second episode of Salmon vs Teal, the first Red vs Blue parody. It’s 4:3 long, and ranges from hilarious to totally incomprehensible. Take a look! (This was released on the RvB forums almost 3 weeks…

Darksage was playing some Rockets-only Race with a bud, who tags him first, but then Darksage gets revenge with a pretty amazing shot. It’s 22 seconds long – the first 15 seconds are only there to prove that the shot wasn’t set up ahead of time. It’s only 1.4 mb – check this out for…

dolbex reminds everyone that early registration for Halo50K2 ends this Saturday; if you register now, you save $100 on the team’s fees. If you’re gonna be there, think of all the beer you can buy with $100!

Do you consider yourself a Halo god? Could you stand to be $20 richer (in shwag)? guy who doesn’t post…too often has a challenge for you – get a live Master Chief into the separated room, behind the glass, in Chill Out, and he’ll pay you for it. Read the details in this forum post.

Hehe – you knew this would happen, didn’t you? Today’s One One Se7en shows pretty clearly why the MC needs to get his sorry self back out on the battlefield… pronto. I blame Jason.

Well, Mythica’s up to 18.2 Mbit/sec (35 gigs in the past 11 hours), so what the heck – here’s another movie for you. This one hasn’t actually been released anywhere, yet. It’s called ‘Hall of the Sidewinder King’, and it tells the story of a red soldier (well, pink) getting the flag. Set nicely to…

Sam writes to point out a Halo tournament in the Kansas City area, at the National Video Gaming League on August 2. Top prize is $500. More information can be found at Team Viper’s Bungie.net chapter.

Do you find yourself using our forum without actually figuring out whether your time would be better spent checking for the answer in FAQs first? c0ld vengeance is working on a new site feature that might help.

Derek Tick points out a link to Evolution Gaming’s Summer Leagues, a Milwaukee, WI Halo-playing group. They list full stats for each member of each 3-man team (there are 8 of them) – it’s not clear what all the acronyms are, but it’s for certain that they’re serious about ranking their players. Check it out!
