The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2004

  • I don’t like where this is going…

    The latest Red vs Blue episode (29) is available for Sponsors (on the sponsor forum, not the standard page) – and it’s the best in a while. First swearing I’ve heard all season, too… New logo, goes nicely with—nope, not ruining it. Go watch. (If you’re not a sponsor, this will be up on Sunday.…

  • RvB on WSJ Front Page

    Whoa. Seems like big-time, to me… the Red vs Blue crew is on the front page of today’s Wall Street Journal (print edition) – according to Gus Sorola, “A reporter for the Wall Street Journal came down and watched us produce an episode recently (27 if I recall properly) and wrote a story about the…

  • The Call Comes In

    Halo Babies continues with their new plot series this week… I must say, seeing a kid in an undershirt is bizarre. Check it out!

  • Movies

    Couple of movies for you, hosted outside… WaLKa point out a movie he made called ‘Killing Spree’ over at Halomods; 3:36, 13 mb, WMP9 format, it’s mostly what it says (killing sprees he’s had in HPC games). There are a few very funny sequences (the ‘kill the entire enemy team with flag melee attacks as…

  • Tsunami: Great Expectations

    Jake ‘Evergreen98’ Billo of the Junkyard has written the first of a 3-part series about the next iteration of Xbox Live, and it looks at how Halo 2 fits into the equation. Frankly, I’m confused by many of his conclusions… but maybe I’m just out of the loop on this stuff. Go check it out!

  • Win a Date with One One Se7en

    Short notice, I know… but sometimes, you just gotta grab the bull by the horns. We’ve got a new contest for you: come up with a brilliant one-liner using BOLL’s Automagic 117 StripMaker, and win a cool prize! To help you along, BOLL has added 31 new panels to the collection; let your creativity go…

  • When the original was good…

    Calvin and Halo is hardly Halo-related at all today; I don’t think this is a trend (at least I hope it isn’t), but it was a great strip when it was new, so go and check it out.

  • Dancin’ MC

    Gutupio did some playing with green-screen effects; the end result is a movie he calls ‘Halo 2: DDR Remix’. Not ever having played DDR, the joke is mostly lost on me… but reaction seems to be positive. Hosting has been handled by COERCE.net. The vid is 3:32 long, 14.1 mb big, and is a DivX-encoded…

  • It’s a mod, mod, mod world

    Much general-interest modding info over at Halomods recently… there’s a downloadable copy of Blood Gulch with Hunters, Elites, and human snipers (a movie showing the action can be found here, the mod itself is in this thread), the outside portion of Keyes is now available as a multiplayer map (with a movie in this thread),…

  • I think Donut was robbed.

    That Weasel, of That Weasel Television, writes to say that after running for 15 days, the TWTv Poll asking about your favorite RvB character has come up with Caboose as the top choice (266 votes) with Church (156 votes) and Sarge (107 votes) running a distant second and third. A new poll is up, asking…

  • Get on the Grid

    Once upon a time, HBO participated actively in the distributed search for extraterrestrial intelligence – and the Halo SETI Marines continue today, though at a much slower pace than when they were front-page news here every day. A year or so ago, Ross Mills started the HBO Researcher team at grid.org, aimed at using distributed…

  • …he couldn’t go…

    …they all would know, he’d lose all his street cred. This is getting totally out of hand. I blame Sep7imus for starting it… and Stuntmutt for making it much, much worse.

  • Corn on the Halfshell

    It’s April 7, which means it’s time for another update of the One One Se7en Archive… we’ve got 12 strips for you today. Things will be changing soon… but for now, enjoy!

  • Military Intelligence – A Contradiction In Terms.

    One One Se7en brings the venerable knock-knock joke to new lows.

  • Smells Like ADD

    Halo: Resolution gets back to a slightly damaged piece of machinery today.

  • You win some, you lose some.

    Halo Phenom, a website we mentioned once, has decided to hang it up. G’Night, guys…

  • Just in time for the NEXT one…

    Not sure why it takes me so long every week… but last week’s Bungie Update has finally been added to the Bungie Updates archive. When you want to know whether Frankie has mentioned Zoe or Lorraine more… we’re here for you. (Lorraine wins this one, hands down – 8 to 4.)

  • haloTV – they like it.

    The CAL Season 1 Championship aired as planned on haloTV last night – but most of the 500+ people who tuned in to watch had to be turned away. (They had no idea how popular it would be!) The haloTV crew capped the viewer list at 50, but a higher-res, edited version of the match…

  • Halo 2 at E3

    Halo7 (with some help from Owm109) points out a page on IGN’s Playstation 2 site that contains a list of ‘official titles being shown’ at E3 this year… and Halo 2 is on it. No word about what SORT of ‘show’ we’re talking about…

  • Halo – it brings us together

    You gotta love it when the editor of the largest Mac magazine decides to write an editorial about how fun it is to play Halo (and how you can join him next weekend!). Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling… (thanks again, Ghôlsbane)
