Year: 2003

Hmm. There was a Halo Reclaimer paintball scenario game in Colorado last month – and the writeup before the event includes a long-winded summary of (the beginning of) Halo’s plot. Weirdness. Thanks to Donovan for the heads-up.

Bungie’s very own Marty O’Donnell has posted on his Chapter page that an announcement is coming soon about a large Marty Army get-together in honor of Halo’s 2 year anniversary. More to come on Bungie.net’s front page!Those of you that live near the Maestro will have quite an opportunity to pump him for info on…

Hehe – Finn calls it a drop in the bucket… but it looks pretty big to me. Check out the Halo Story page for the latest speculation.

Sometimes, because of the long lead times on strips, One One Se7en is a bit off-topic; its relevance decreased from the moment in which it was written. Today’s doesn’t fit that mold at all. Timing couldn’t be MORE perfect, I don’t think.

The sensitive side of MC? Halo: Resolution isn’t afraid to bare the truth.

Quick status update on the HBO-GameDaemons server, for those confused by recent events… GD is moving us from the initial (pretty haphazard due to its early implementation) server setup we had with them to a more standard install. There were a few glitches in the process (some of which are still to be resolved). All…

Thanks to Blade, who’s mirrored yesterday’s release of ‘Lethal Rage 2’ at Team Ice.

TT Gamer has put up a very nice Guide to Tweaking Halo; lots of good information. Thanks to Djof for pointing it out.

Forgot to post Fan Fiction yesterday, so today’s update is 22 stories big: The Death of Ensign Lovell, by Walker Halo Poetry 101: Killing Stuff, by Brian Alexandrowicz Plasma Burns and Bullet Shells- chapter 8(finale), by Myth Halo 2 Rise of a Hero Chapter 2, by CovieKilla Halo Trilogy Side Story: The Grunt Interrogation (comedy),…

Gah. Chris Macias uploaded a picture of his Halloween costume a couple of days ago… we didn’t get to it. Better late than never! He went as an Xbox (240K), and the costume was good enough that he received a copy of Halo from the Microsoft employee that lived at one of the houses he…

Yesterday’s big news in the Xbox world was that Microsoft has decided to go with IBM’s PowerPC chip for the next iteration of its console. (This isn’t Halo news, so we didn’t bother reporting it.) As Miguel mentioned on our forum, one of the big hurdles to be overcome is the thorny issue of how…

Cyber Slam is an Australian Halo tournament starting this Friday, November 7th. 16 national finalists will be flown to Sydney to compete in the finals on December 6 – and the winner will pocket $1000 in cash and be flown to the US to play in the International Halo Championship tourney in January 2004. You…

HUNTR-KILLR writes that his clan, ..::DFA::.., has issued an invitation for tryouts; if you’re interested, check out their webpage!

endrom has drawn today’s guest One One Se7en strip… I’m at a loss. It’s a RvB nod, I can say that much.

Okay, I’m ready to call it a day. Or a month. Or whatever. On October 6th, we kicked off The Great Halo Scavenger Hunt, and with the help of a whole bunch of Halo-related websites and Bungie, we set up what we thought was a fun, thought-provoking contest. Seems like we went too far, though…

Pico submitted a new movie, called Lethal Rage 2, recently. The first time I watched it, I felt that he spent too much time trying to get that ‘cool cinematic shot’, and not enough time advancing the plot. Watching it again, I see that part of my problem was the confusing flag colors. (Seems to…

Ben Roth has compiled a list of HBO forum regulars, and the HPC handles they play under. If you’re looking for folks from our forum when you’re online playing Halo PC, this is a list you should read!

Halo Ops has put up a Halo PC Vehicles Guide – and though the screenshots are quite nice, some of the info is a bit questionable. (I thought ‘Phade’ was a typo, at first, as the name of the Shade – but it’s used more than half a dozen times.) As a discussion-starter, this article…

Titanium Designs, a modding group for Unreal Tournament 2003, has released CTF – Bloodgulch 2, a map design based on Halo’s Blood Gulch. You can see screenshots on this page, or grab a 17 mb WMP9 vid of the level from their Videos section. (Personally, I’m having trouble seeing the resemblance…) The 3 mb map…

Okay, this one’s weird. tjc2k4, a forum member over at xbox-scene, has managed to get injected models to work on his modded Xbox. (Not yet for Halo PC, unfortunately.) It’s not ready for release yet, but there’s a proof of concept movie showing a warthog with wings flying around. He didn’t have the bandwidth to…
