The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2005

  • He wants a pony.

    Red vs Blue Episode 68, ‘Getting All Misty’, has been released for sponsors. (That means it’ll be free for everyone tomorrow night or so.) I can’t tell whether I should be scared… or laugh my butt off. I guess I feel a little sorry for Tucker… but not really. Go watch! Thanks to Psychophan7 for…

  • Stuff I wish I didn’t have to say

    We recently had an incident where someone attempted to submit footage from a montage video that didn’t belong to them to the MPRRS – this was caught by a reviewer, and deleted, but I wanted to remind EVERYONE out there: the percentage of the overall Halo community that reads HBO is pretty darned high… and…

  • Little Boy’s Rooms and Stats Wiping

    The Weekly Upate has been posted over at Bungie.net – lots of stuff about the 360 (problems, and some solutions), plus a major Playlist update (read this if you care about your rank – don’t complain after the fact that you didn’t get to it), plus a little bit of Halo Movie stuff (no, nothing…

  • Lost the Lead – now live

    Pinkuh’s Lost the Lead comic finally has its own site – check it out! (Comments can go here.)

  • More Bungie Schwag for Charity

    I nearly missed this – but the goodies on the table for the Child’s Play Fundraiser Dinner Auction, to be hosted by Penny Arcade on December 13, have been augmented by a number of items – one of which is an intriguingly-titled ‘Bungie Gift Pack’. There doesn’t seem to be anything more complete than that…

  • Next Up, Martin Luther.

    Stuntmutt shows off his knowledge of religious history trivia, and bad puns (was that ever in doubt?) in today’s One One Se7en.

  • Friday Fiction

    Just six stories today in the Fan Fiction section. Slowdown?

  • Coming Full Circle

    Dyslexia’s written up Part 1 of his MLG Atlanta Review, over at MLGPro.com… powerful piece. Go read! Thanks, 3Suns.

  • ArKiVe’s Montage, and StatsReloaded

    A couple of bits from Z, over at Halo2Forum.com: There’s a new montage from ArKiVe (WMP9, 92 mb, lots and lots of fun sticks), and a new stats site has been launched: StatsReloaded.com. What this has that many existing sites don’t have is room for new members; they’re pretty sure they can handle 25,000 members…

  • Die-Cast Hogs

    LadyRziha posted a link to a site that sells die-cast warthogs… pretty cool-looking! Check ’em out. At $5 a pop, they’d make great stocking stuffers, wouldn’t they?

  • Overheating Plasma Rifles

    Joystiq has a pointer to an article at The Brig.org, looking at the top ten ways you know you’re playing too much Halo. (Yes, there’ve been dozens of these lists on our forum… but hey, this one got referenced by Joystiq, okay?) This one definitely seems aimed at an older crowd.

  • Halo Movie News

    Father Hartley was the first to point out a short piece over at Dark Horizons – which, in turn, references a post at IESB which suggests that Peter Jackson is talking to Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Blade 2) about directing the Halo movie. If true (and independent info suggests that it very well may be),…

  • DoA4 and Halo – at IGN

    Eep, almost missed this. IGN’s got an article up about Dead or Alive 4, and the second page includes a mini-interview with Team Ninja leader Tomonobu Itagaki about the inclusion of Halo material in the game. No new screens, as far as I can tell (that haven’t already been released on other sites). Thanks, Wolfy.

  • Forgotten Heroes.

    Captain Spark has come out of self-imposed dialogue recording retirement to serve up another 11 snippets to the Halo community. These are pretty darn funny. You can grab them from his website, or browse them in our Dialogue Databank.

  • Podtacular Ep 34 – Tips

    Podtacular Episode 34 is up – n00b tips, general tips, tips for Foundation (the map of the week) – these are just the tip of the iceberg. (Sorry.) 22.8 mb, 33 minutes. Visit Podtacular.com for more details.

  • Xbox Cooties

    The latest Halo Babies introduces new characters… and definitely moves away from the ‘Babies’ part. Still… it’s pretty funny! Go read.

  • Yaargh.

    Heh. Both EvilAvatar (thanks, Target4Hire) and Gamespot (thanks, T3muJin) have picked up on the wording of Bungie’s latest job listing. Could Bungie REALLY be making Pimps At Sea, using the Halo 2 engine? Your guess is as good as mine.

  • Halo SETI Marines to be retired

    Daniel wrote to let us know that SETI@home, the organization that uses member computers around the world to help analyze radio telescope data in an attempt to find extraterrestrial computers, will be shifting to a completely new infrastructure in 2 weeks, and current groups will have their totals locked. From 1999 through 2002, the Halo…

  • A funny ad that never was.

    A few days ago, Dustin Kaufman sent us a link to a movie at break.com, showing an Xbox360 commercial that never got released. It’s not really Halo-related (though you CAN say it’s FPS-related)… and break.com seems to be having some trouble with bandwidth issues, but it’s available on YouTube now, as well. Thanks to Pinkuh,…

  • Is it real? Maybe.

    Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, has gotten his hands on the script reviewed by El Mayimbe last month – and asserts that it’s credible. Interesting read!
