The Halo PC demo is now available over at IGN – go grab it! (131 mb…) Update: 3D Gamers has put up a mirror already – we’ll probably create a mirror page later today. Thanks, Frans.

Yesterday, we mentioned a blog written by Mat Noguchi, a Bungie programmer. He’s added another Halo tidbit to the mix; he explains WHY the infinite ammo/camo glitch (one we chronicled pretty thoroughly in the one and only Keyes’ Corner entry to date) comes about. Way cool. (Thanks to Rampancy.net, who noticed the RSS feed for…

Gah – I haven’t been making my rounds. (Been a busy week.) Lots of new knicknacks over at Rampancy.net; this news post summarizes the enhancements to the user experience.

It must be Friday – time for another roundup of Halo reviews (thanks again to Blue’s News). Lessee… we got GamerDad, Gamer’s Hell, Gameguru Mania (with 60 screenshots), and Wicked Toast. The first three thought it was okay, the last one hated it. Well, ‘hated’ might be too strong a term; the final summation was…

Maybe I’ve just been around too long… but today’s One One Se7en made me laugh out loud. I miss that game…

The Master Chief is just like you – he’s too busy to pick up his clothes. Or so says Halo: Resolution today…

131 mb of Halo goodness… Friday at 10 am PST! (That’s 5 pm UTC, or 1 pm Eastern.) Check out the article at IGN – The Halo PC demo (Silent Cartographer for solo play, Blood Gulch with limited vehicles for netplay) will be released (exclusively, they say) at IGN Downloads. Thanks to the former Huntr-Killr…

This morning, on CNN Headline News, there was a piece showing a CNN reporter taking over the Editor in Chief’s job for the day over at Electronic Gaming Monthly. According to Blackstar, They played a bit of Blood Gulch multiplayer; not a bad job to have! And now you can read the story on CNN.com…

Whoa. It’s been announced. The Halo for Windows Worldwide Tournament will kick off on November 15 – you have to be registered by then to play. (Registration opens today.) Play will take place in iGames member centers around the world. Go read the B.net page for full details; prizes look pretty cool.

Leave it to Miguel to make things accessible to the world. Sometimes we forget that not EVERYONE reading this website has been here since Bungie opened its doors 12 years ago. (Okay, truth be told, NONE of us have been here THAT long… but you get the point.) Read this forum post for some pretty…

Hardcore’s Hardcorner, a column over at Xbox.com, covers Halo this time round. Check out ‘They Call Him MASTER Chief’. Tactics discussion, then a look at Halo 2. Thanks to Rendar for the heads-up.

Chelsea Bridge, in a break from her standard obscure references, almost gets specific in a Great Halo Scavenger Hunt clue. Whoa.

An IRC chat with representatives from Microsoft, Bungie, and Gearbox will take place on October 29 on the channel #CPL on GamesNET. Details are here, on the CPL site. Topics will include HaloPC and the CPL Winter Championship coming up in December. Thanks to kappa for the heads-up on our forum.

Holy moley. Mat Noguchi, Tools and Sounds programmer for Halo, dropped a small note in our forum, pointing to a new blog he’s started up… the relevant entry (for now, and for this community) is here. He’s explained WHY Object Overload is allowed to happen in the game. For those who don’t pay attention to…

The Wallpaper contest at Halo Bunker that we mentioned a couple of weeks ago has ended – and the three winners are posted on the site. Check ’em out! (Thanks to The Elite Spartan for the heads-up.)

synide is organizing a team of HBO regulars for the next SeeMePlayMe tournament (to be held online this coming Monday). He and jayWHY (who killed me a LOT of times yesterday, btw) need two more people for the 4v4 team. You can contact him on SeeMePlayMe, or our forum, I’d guess.

Grenadiac writes to point out that SparkEdit 1.1 (an Xbox Halo map editor/viewer) has been released. You can edit cache files to move player spawns, scenery, weapons, flags, hill placement, and more. There’s a movie demonstrating some object placement here, and the app itself can be found here, on HaloMods.

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Limax – who takes a closer look at those hunters.

A whole bunch of clan/news sites in our mailbox recently… Grunts with a Vengeance (Halo PC clan) Clan 93rd V.S.D. (Halo 2 clan) Alpha Base (7th Column chapter, Halo PC squad) Bravo vs Delta (Comedy series, trailer available) Got Halo (General site, not finished yet) I’m sure there are more on the way – that’s…
