Month: March 2004

Ross Mills posted an interesting tidbit to our forum recently; ‘The Art of Halo’, a book we mentioned a few months ago, is ‘basically done and is undergoing review’. Looking forward to it!

Halo Babies has posted some new avatars (100×100) – they’re almost entire HB strips on their own. Take a look..

Viper, over at Battleground: Halo, has put up a new mailbag article – lots and lots of dumb people.

da_masta_chief writes to point out his Halo blog. Take a look!

Even after pruning the duplicates and removing the inappropriate, there are still 21 new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section: The Iron Hands of the Prophets (Part 4): Dark Horizons, by MadJackal No Hope, by someone that you dont know The Forerunner: Chapter One, by Steele From the Other Side: Homeworlds Tie-In, by…

We got mail from Blake about a movie he’d made, and posted. It didn’t meet our posting guidelines, but our general policy is that if someone’s willing to host the movie themselves, we’re willing to put up a news post about it – so here you go. It’s called ‘Halo Stunts’, it’s 3:29 long, in…

Alpaca writes to point out that [HOH] has added a new Articles section, and the first article (“Noobery vs Stupidity”) is up. It looks at the difference between people who haven’t learned and those who CAN’T learn, and shows you how to keep yourself out of the latter group. Check it out!

Yet another analysis of the multiplayer screens – this time over at Echo-413. Click on the ‘Media Mintz Article 2’ link in the Community News section of the navbar to read it.

Gamers Gallery has posted a VERY high resolution version of the new multiplayer shot – 2468×1851 (weighs in at 452k). Go visit if you want this!

So, the Fan Fiction section is open again… and Stuntmutt has wasted no time taking a shot or two, via One One Se7en. Of course, he’s missed the target – the innocent victim in this case is poor, maligned Halo PC. Trust Stuntmutt to gang up on the downtrodden.

Today’s Halo: Resolution tries what we’ve ALL wanted to do, at one point or another…

Okay, the flood of screenshots on our forum is simply too much for me to keep up with. I guess I was planning to post a daily ’roundup’ – but there are well over 20 posts with screenshots in them since the last time I posted; some people post a few, then follow up their…

WOW. Gil27 and Devin Olsen have created a multiplayer version of the Maw’s Reactor Room – there is a short (25 second, 2 mb) film as well as a few screenshots in this forum post; no map yet for downloading, but we can hope!

Back in early February, Burnie Burns and Geoff Fink of Red vs Blue were interviewed for TechTV’s Unscrewed. We actually had the footage uploaded to us by Sniperman27, and we contacted Unscrewed to find out if we could display it; the answer came back that they would do it for us… but they never did.…

Benny, from Xbox Ottawa (part of the team behind the FTC videos) has submitted a new Flash game – Madda Cheeb: Golfer. We’re hosting a copy here, but there’s also a copy up at Newgrounds, which probably has way more bandwidth than we could hope to have. (It’s big – over 4 and a half…

So over the past few weeks, we’ve had a number of submissions that we simply haven’t had time to post. I’m going to try and get some of them out there. First up is a pair of speeches modeled on ones given by Winston Churchill in 1940; you can find them, along with transcriptions, in…

It’s still coming in… New Mailbag!

Homefront, the Battlefield 1942 mod, has put up new pics of an elite, their new AR (the MC looks BIZARRE without gloves on), and the scorpion tank. This picture is a joke – they’ll have him holding plasma weapons soon. (Good thing, too – Covenant would rather die than use human weapons…) Thanks to Spartan-39…

Interesting. XBCTourneys is promoting ‘The Ultimate Halo Tricks DVD’, coming soon. ‘Every trick for every map’, in DVD quality. The page says ‘Price coming soon’ – but if you click on the Preorder button, you’re paying $14.99, so one might assume that the price will be $14.99. (I’d be impressed if they really do manage…
