There was a montage mentioned over at High Impact Halo, as well – Dark Helmet put together a single player Hog Launching montage from Halo footage. Halo, Silent Cartographer, AotCR – some classic jumps, some stuff you may never have seen before, he makes it ALL look easy. (I watched him pull out a controller…

Another montage, this time from the original Halo. MPRRS reviewers loved the audio/video synching, which is very impressive. Check out YourDogM1H1, from RHSSE89 – 15.3 mb in QuickTime, 14.9 mb in WMP9.

Rampancy.net has put up yet another music transcription – this one is ‘Covenant Dance’, from the original Halo soundtrack, transcribed by Devin Eastman. You must be logged in (free) to download – the archive contains a MIDI file, a PDF of the score, and a PrintMusic file. Go grab it!

Last week, we released a trailer for a full-length (80 minute) documentary, created by a pretty obsessed Halo fan. I posed a question on our forum – would folks be interested in downloading the entire thing (400+ mb)? The response was pretty positive – so here you go. We’re providing two BitTorrent links – one…

A couple of days ago, we posted Jamie98s’ ‘Oh So Beautiful’, an ode to the gorgeous scenery in Halo 2 multiplayer maps. He’s done it again – ‘Oh So Beautiful II’ looks at the pretty stuff in the newest maps, again with Jack Johnson providing the soundtrack. WMP9 (9 mb) or QuickTime (10.3 mb) -…

Reinsoft parodies Akon’s Lonely – poor 12-year-old XBL players! Go listen.

Mintz continues his Halo for PSP content series with a bunch of recent articles, formatted for reading on a PSP. Details are in this forum post.

Recently, the processing time for videos in our Movie Peer Review Rating System climbed to almost a week; right now, there’s a vid which has been in the queue for almost 11 days. (All the rest of the current crop are below 2 days, so that’s an anomaly, but the problem is still worth noting.)…

trigger119 posted a montage he made on our forum – it’s hosted on his halomachinima.com website. 35 mb, WMP9 format, called ‘Definitely Luck’. retsamolah gets killed a lot.

Phan7om has created a PSP-friendly version of Biohazard, an extremely popular machinima project. (If you’ve never seen it, and don’t have a PSP, you can find download links in this news post, from March.) Now, if you want to see this vid, but need it on the go… you’ve got it!

The Mexican Pirate posted a link to a video showing the Slipspace drive, as realized in the Freelancer engine. 3 mb – check their progress!

Count Zero has submitted a transcript of ‘High Charity’ – you can find it on the Halo Story Page.

GameTrailers.com has coverage from Video Games Live, the concert tour that kicked off in LA a few days ago. 31 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats. Thanks, Mr.Cynical.

Wow – Briar’s Armor got an update – check the top 5 shots on the Halo page. Nice looking stuff! Thanks, beetlecrazy12.

We’ve been getting a lot of mail, asking us when ‘Another Day at the Beach’ (the cinematic that can be found on the Map Pack disc) is going to be added to the Cutscene Library. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be. Bungie would like for this scene (and the Killtacular video) to remain, for the…

Gamespot has posted their review of the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack at this point, as well. There’s a 2-page written review, or a 6 minute video review – your call. Thanks, KP.

Frankie’s back, and this week’s Weekly What’s Update is full of info about the new maps, cheaters, and a secret golf tournament. Go read!

Another MPRRS-passed film for you today – this one is a montage called Tag Team Roboto, amde by MikeMan27 and his buddy, Dan. This went through several iterations, getting feedback at each step from the system; the final product is light-years beyond the original submission. You can grab a WMP9 version (47.2 mb, mythica.org |…

Wow – this is a new one for me. 2old2play is hosting a LAN party in Chicago… and they’re charging $60 to get in. They’re shooting for 32 gamers (on 16 TVs) – but if they get more, they have a second venue that can handle up to about 70. And oh, yeah – you…

The Halo CE Chronicles have kicked off Season 2 with Episode 10, now available from the HCEC video page. Many new characters, but the focus remains on the Spartan and the station AI – very nice use of repurposed footage. Go check it out!
