The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Month: April 2005

  • Last Stand Page Ten

    Phoenix_9286 has posted Page 10 of his Last Stand comic – Montoya takes off. I can’t tell – is it getting more serious? Is this just an anomaly? You decide.

  • More Halo Rap

    Okay – this one needs a MAJOR MPAA Explicit Lyrics warning… but it’s pretty darn funny. Coaxke posted the latest offering from Futuristic Sex Robotz, a ‘Gangster Nerd Rap group’, on our forum; there’s an MP3, as well as a music video in both QuickTime and WMP9 formats. We’ve mirrored all three items, to save…

  • April Fools Strip Returns

    Many, many, MANY people have complained that they never got to see the original strip that started the April Fools joke about Stuntmutt leaving One One Se7en. It was originally pulled because the content was inflammatory – intentionally so, in fact. I’ve reinstalled it… but I’ve added a disclaimer to the page itself, so that…

  • Strategy Guide – Ascension

    UNEXPECTED62 wrote up a strategy guide for Ascension – you can find it on Clan LND’s website.

  • Chiefman

    mtusk is working on a new flash animation/comic based on Halo: Resolution’s released sprites. The start can be found at DeviantART. There’s not much there yet… but what there is is pretty polished. Check it out!

  • The Majesty of Space

    Awesome HUDless widescreen shot of Cairo Station, from the outside, by prometheus. If you like what you see, be SURE to explore the Halouvre – there are more items like this.

  • Not Just for April 1.

    Meant to post this earlier this morning – but there’s been a lot to do. Posting it now because I need to head out for a few hours, and didn’t want to forget. Today’s One One Se7en is another apology, of sorts.

  • The Plains of Marathon

    Rampancy.net has fired up a new column, called ‘A Sistematic Approach’ – staffer Sistematic is writing about Halo in the context of older Bungie games. The first column is called ‘Marathon Lessons’, which looks at Halo 2 and the lessons that can be learned from the first Battle of Marathon (fought in 490 BC).

  • Resurrection Recap, Part 1

    The first few writeups of the lanfest here are posted – nukedude put up a bunch of pics, KP blogged it, goatrope got in on the action. I’m sure there’ll be more (I’ve even got some stuff of my own to write this time around)… but this is a decent start.

  • One One Se7en – Still Going

    Stuntmutt comes clean – yes, the falling-out last week was an elaborate April Fools joke that took a few days to build up. I, too, would like to apologize to anyone who felt stressed by the idea that One One Se7en would be disappearing any time soon (or worse, would be taken over by me).…

  • Spring Slaughter – planning underway

    AltoDarkNight has put together a web page for the Clan HBO Tournaments in general, and Spring Slaughter: Lively Death 2005, the first tourney, in specific. Rules are up, Round 1 starts next week. Go check it out!

  • teamhalo Halo 2 party

    teamhalo writes to point out another Online LANfest, coming up this Saturday.

  • Unfair Advantage

    Ross Mills found a Halo-related episode of Reverend Fun today. Halo is even finding its way into Bible humor!

  • Prometheus – the REAL update

    While we weren’t posting, there was an update that Project Prometheus, the multi-game Halo editor, was cancelled. Turns out it was a belated April Fool’s joke. A new update today answers a bunch of questions, and has a small movie showing some of the stuff Prometheus can do. Go check it out!

  • Friends Watcher with Benefits

    Ben Hollis points out his new Xbox Live Friends List watcher, XBList. Runs on Windows, displays your Live Friends list in a buddy-list style. Incorporates player emblems, and double-clicking on a friend loads their stats.

  • Time Enough to Consider

    Dennis Powers writes to let people know that Episode 9, Time Enough to Consider, of the Halo CE Chronicles has been posted at HaloMaps.org. 8.4 mb, Flash movie format. The Spartan and the AI find the drop pod they’ve been looking for – and a few things they weren’t.

  • Stubbs, Exposed

    1UP.com has a sizeable article on Stubbs the Zombie, the upcoming Halo-engined game from Wideload Games. It’s a pretty interesting read – go check it out! Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Mapmaking contest

    Team Tabula Rasa is running a contest for new map content – create a new map, win a beer stein. Read details on their contest page.
