Year: 2004

Halomods.com is back up (well done, Grenadiac!), and one of the more impressive new releases comes from BorgScooby; it’s a reworking of the central underground area on AotCR, and it’s called ‘The Chasm’. A lot of thought went into this; you can get a decent sense for the level in the movie in this thread,…

Thanks to the lots and lots and lots of people who pointed out the mistake I made in yesterday’s Nightmare Armor news post. That’s not a Grunt mask, it’s a Jin-Roh helmet (from the Japanese animated movie of the same name). My bad. First correction came from TigerHawk, on our forum. You can stop writing…

Nice find by Ross Mills – Yomary Cruz, the voice actress for Sheila the Tank in Red vs Blue, has a website up, and on it is a movie containing all the Sheila lines in one place. Nice!

MasterNeoChief has created a mod called Halo Elite Battles; you play as an Elite, and your job is to wipe out the Human forces. (There’s even a destructible Pelican mod.) A trailer can be found in this thread, the mod itself in this one (both at Halomods). If the links don’t work, try again later;…

A month ago, Project Halo closed its doors as a Halo-related game. They didn’t dissolve as a team, however; they’re now working on a project called ‘Supreme Conflict: The Enna Wars’, and have recently put up a new forum for discussion. They’re hoping to have a Halo-based mod of their game at some point, even.…

Whoa – bunch of new stuff at Nightmare Armor… Easter Egg helmets (hehe), and some pics of NEW work; a Grunt helmet? I want, I want! (Also, a very nice pair of shots of the Rocket Launcher. Coming along!) Thanks to {SS}Zag1 for the heads-up. Update: AAAA, I’m jealous. Dolbex visited the Nightmare Armor guys…

Tina Leyk has been busy recently… we’ve got a bunch of new stuff from her. On the Fur-Lo comic page, you’ll find a new pair of single-panel strips, ‘FETCH!’ and ‘Mission Invisible’. On our general art page for her, you’ll find two new doodles (I found them both quite funny), and a pretty awesome plushy…

Updates will be light today, due to the fact that it’s Easter… but we’ve got a couple of things, at least. First off, Stuntmutt turns in a new Sunday One One Se7en strip (which also, nicely, works as a Holiday strip… not bad). Apologies to the poor MC, who found the WRONG person to rile…

Webshift dropped into our forum to point out a couple of pretty cool things over at the Nightmare Armor site… first, there are photos of the blue armor, in all its glory, worn on a deck in the beautiful backwoods of Georgia – pretty snazzy! Second, there’s a new raffle going on, this time for…

Looks like you can get your hands on one of those Halo 2 calendars without doing anything except filling in your name… Forerunners.org is giving away 5 of them, as well. The catch? Some browsers can see the page… others get an error; 500 has been seen, as has 1060. All I can suggest is…

There’s a pretty cool new page over at Red vs Blue – a history of the group, as written by the resident psycho, gFunk. It’s a sad tale of loneliness and betrayal, but with an uplifting message at the end. Or maybe that’s just the alcohol. Credit for the find goes to pilotelite, who seems…

Devin Olsen and Gil27 have completed work on The Reactor Room – a multiplayer level based on the Maw’s Reactor Room. It’s downloadable at Halomods.com. Check it out!

Gustav Larimore writes to say that Effervescing Blue Productions has a new movie posted, as well – a Warthog Jumping Tutorial. (You might remember that there’s already one posted here at HBO… but more info is rarely a bad thing.)

Icetiger writes that he’s posted 3 new Halo movies on his website, Icegames; they show footage recorded on the HBO-COERCE server. Check ’em out!

Yesterday, we mentioned an article in the Wall Street Journal about the Red vs Blue team. We couldn’t post the article itself, because we don’t post print articles that are still for sale on the newsstand. (We did give you an online link that works for non-subscribers, so reading the content itself was doable.) It’s…

It’s been since Monday that a Fan Fiction update has been posted. My bad… now there are 28 stories to read. I’m sorry. Halo 2: Operation Dream Knife (Chapter 1: Hallway), by System Failure Chapter 4, Hell’s Bells, by The Silver Spartan The Spartans On Reach: Part 1 , by SpartanFortyFour Fall of Rye: Chapter…

One One Se7en, as well, was passed over… and that’s a sad thing, because it iMC is back.

DOH! Yesterday was busy enough that the standard comics didn’t get posted… they’re up now. Halo: Resolution gets to a punchline it’s been working towards for a week.

This week’s Bungie Update is over at Sector 7… and it’s a tasty one. No screenshots… but some tantalizing info. Go read!

Information about the Bungie Fanfest at E3 2004 has been posted at Bungie.net – go now and see! There is room for only 50 signups, with slots assigned by lottery… so if you’re planning on being there, go now to sign up! (There’s no benefit to signing up more than once, but there IS a…
