The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Month: September 2003

  • Oooh… Safari

    Yesterday, we mentioned Dogsounds’ armor variants – well, today, there are three new ones. Check this forum post for details – or view all variants on one page, here.

  • UNSC.net runs out of bandwidth

    UNSC.net has run into bandwidth problems – they can’t host any more movies until they find a sponsor. Anyone interested in helping should contact admin@unsc.net. (They hope to offer hosting, as well, to anyone willing to sponsor them.)

  • Games Domain looks over Halo PC

    Games Domain has put up a Halo PC Preview; not a lot new (well, they’re apparently MUCH better with a sniper rifle than I am), but 10 additional screens (added to the Screenshots database, as well). Thanks to ash, who noticed it at Blue’s News.

  • Silent Wonders

    Mikey-Cd is back as a Guest artist for One One Se7en… don’t tell me this never happened to you.

  • 343 Candles

    The Hushed Casket had a one-year birthday… and they celebrated with a lan party and a cake. Pretty cool cake, too! Check out the pics! (Then chime into the forum thread.)

  • Get your sunglasses, baby.

    Forum regular Dogsounds did some reskinning of the Master Chief – it’s unlikely that his work would be approved by the UNSC, but we liked it enough that we added a page to our Miscellaneous section. Check it out.

  • Another Flash-animated logo

    Bluestone, of 343 Guilty Spark, submitted a new Flash-animated Halo logo. We’ve linked it on our Logos page.

  • They’re still coming…

    Clint has turned in a new Halo 2 cover concept, which we’ve added to our still-growing Halo 2 Cover Art collection. Take a look!

  • Hosting, and not hosting…

    Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve found time to rummage through the submissions – and for that, I apologize. Lots of people have been waiting for substantial chunks of time to see their work displayed for the Halo community… and I’ve been lax about getting it up there. However, our uploads folders (and email)…

  • Friendhammer.

    Too much time getting toasted by the Halo PC beta testers, not enough time updating this site. Hmm. Anyway, before hitting the sack, here’s Wednesday’s One One Se7en, from Stuntmutt – continuing in the Flash Pelican theme. I know where that lady is coming from…

  • The New Breed released

    Dwain Faithfull writes to point out that UNSC.net has the second installment of their exclusive video, The Beginning of the End. WMP9 format only. This one’s called ‘The New Breed’, and it’s available from their Videos page.

  • Entertainment Depot previews Halo

    A brief Halo PC preview was published (along with 25 screenshots) over at the Entertainment Depot yesterday. Thanks to Cash, on the Gearbox forums, for the heads-up.

  • Homelan Fed looks at Halo PC – again

    Last Friday, Homelan Fed put up a followup article to their Fanstock Impressions article we mentioned a bit ago. (I blame our missing it on the Labor Day weekend. Yeah, that’s it.) A few new screenshots (now in our Screenshots database as well), and some comments about the beta version they’ve been playing with… worth…

  • Red vs… Who Part 1

    Remember Salmon vs Teal, the Red vs Blue parody? Now there’s a SvT tribute strip in the One One Se7en series. This place gets more and more like Deliverance every day…

  • Halo Tourney in upstate New York

    Nick the Roadie points out a Halo 3-man Team Slayer tourney at Cyberjocks, near Buffalo, NY this weekend. Entrance is $45/team, and prize money is based on the number of entrants. (The site is framed, so you might want to go in through the front page; the Halo tournament is listed at the bottom in…

  • My eyes hurt.

    Goodness – looks like everyone stayed inside during Labor Day, and wrote. 21 Fan Fiction pieces today: The Battle of Evermore Part 2: Break, by Gruntkiller Chapter Two: TF Resolution, by Blue Jaguar The Alliance: Part two, by pooman Attack on ERISTOCK-Part 1: Introduction, by xitWOUND117 Spartan III’s, Part III, by FOrunnER Halo Trilogy: Destroy…

  • Summer Slaying video posted

    Woohoo! Blackstar has posted a huge movie (48 mb, 720×480) showing highlights of a lanfest held here at HBO HQ last weekend. Read about it in this forum post, go pick up the movie at Blackstar Productions. Image quality is up to Blackstar’s usual standards. Format is MPEG-4; you’ll need the latest drivers for whatever…

  • Flash Pelican, Revisited

    Timing rocks, sometimes. Stuntmutt turned in a One One Se7en strip referencing BOLL’s Flash Pelican game – I worried that by the time it aired, folks would have forgotten about the game. Skavenger reminded the world just a day or two ago, though, with his monster forum tale…

  • Lion reports from the iGames Regionals

    Forum regular Lion spent the day at the iGames Summer Season Regional Tournament yesterday, in Tennessee – he’s written up his experience on his website. Check it out! (Notification was here, on our forum.) Update: Ernest Miller, of Game Jockeys, points out another writeup, this time of the Regionals in Southern California. Check it out!
