Hogmasta put together a Halo 2 gameplay vid called ‘Broken’. Lots of folks on our forum liked it – but Hogmasta was pretty afraid of the bandwidth rush. Two kind souls have leapt to his aid – PLEASE, use these links instead of Hogmasta’s. Thanks to the DJ, of HaloImpulse (hmm… that link doesn’t seem…

Stuntmutt pins down a nagging paradox in today’s One One Se7en.

Fourteen new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section today – and an apology. There was a story in German I needed to reject – we made a rule almost two years ago that we’d only accept fan fiction in English, just from an administrative perspective… but I never added that to the rules…

Recently, we posted a bunch of pictures of a Master Chief suit created by Alan James – today, we’ve got a helmet from Germain Couët. It’s possible he’ll continue with the rest of the suit – but for now, he’s got some nice headgear!

Some of you may have noticed that the Halo Story page had some strange rearranging of news posts. We had a database glitch, and needed to input a few lost records – the upshot is that the newest entries, from mnemesis, are now well down the page below Jillybean’s recent work. They’re the last two…

TheTaintedOne has created a pretty massive gameplay vid; it’s 12:22 long, in widescreen format. Timing is quite good; composition does a nice job of moving you from kill type to kill type. Movie ends with another melee-only oddball clip (just like the very first release I ever saw from TheTaintedOne) – all in all, if…

I HATE making posts like this one – but I think it’s become necessary. Recently, we’ve received a mountain of video announcements and submissions; some bits are quite good, and we’re happy to host them, or point them out if others are hosting them. Others are not great, but okay… and as long as they…

Outpost: Coagulation was announced last night – there’s a trailer and Episode 1. (The trailer was sent in a few days ago – I apologize, it got lost in the shuffle.) Heavily inspired by Red vs Blue, it’s the story of a team of Spartans on Coagulation, living and working under the threat of Covenant…

Yesterday, we posted BitTorrent links to synide’s MLG DC Aftermath vid – and almost a thousand people grabbed a copy. Those torrents are still open, and seeded nicely; if you want the vid, and have access to BitTorrent, this is really the fastest way to get it. If, however, you can’t use (or don’t want…

The HBO Helljumpers are holding a tourney – rules and details can be found here. If you’re European, and you’re interested… swing by their forum – there’s plenty of room!

MasT3r would like very much if you’d take a look at his gameplay vid, currently hosted at That Weasel Television. Gameplay is decent… but it’s pretty long (9:35, with more than the first half devoted to slayer-type play on Lockout). 39.5 mb, WMP9 format. There are a couple of threads on our forum for comments…

There’s a new Public Service Announcement posted over at Red vs Blue – it’s called ‘Cold and Flu Season’, and it uses the RvB team to pin down what causes the illnesses we come down with around this time of year, and some of the best ways of combating them. Well, okay, not the BEST…

The Halo CE Chronicles continues over at Halo Maps, with Episode 5 – ‘Thy Pain be Mine’. Definitely a different view of human-Covenant interactions… this ain’t your standard Spartan. Flash format, 6:16, 7 mb.

Wow. Webshift (the original webmaster for the Nightmare Armor website, but someone who left the team a ways back) is selling his personal Master Chief full body armor on eBay. Starting bid is $2000 (less than half the price a set would have cost you direct from Nightmare Armor, even if they HADN’T stopped selling…

The Weekly What’s Update has been posted at Bungie.net. Summary: Downloadable content is coming, cheating fixes are coming, you can be banned for being stupid on the b.net forums, and they can’t answer the questions they want to answer. If you are one of those people who don’t want to read an update that basically…

MLGPro.com has released its Aftermath video from MLG DC. (synide says it’s lame, but I think he’s biased.) It’s about 4 and a half minutes long, and will give you a taste of what MLG’s tournaments are like. WMP9 is 34 mb, QuickTime is 33 mb. If you’re a Video on Demand subscriber at MLG,…

lAbsolutel pointed out that his speed run of the level The Arbiter has been posted at High Speed Halo; quality’s not great, but you can certainly see the action. While you’re there, check out Flechette’s amazing Uprising run; 2:25 from opening to closing cutscene. Wow!

We recently got a rather odd submission – Zytz grabbed a copy of Cortana’s Core, a recently added desktop image created by Demonic Spartan, and altered the hue – a dozen times. All 13 images are in his Cortana’s Core Mod Package (3.5 mb, zipped); the idea is that you use them as rotating desktops.…

Hehe – today’s One One Se7en was originally scheduled to be a Wednesday strip, so that it could properly whinge about the Legendary Walkthrough chapter that had been released the day before. We did some shuffling recently, and I guess I screwed up. Pretend it’s Wednesday. In fact, pretend it’s Wednesday a few weeks ago,…
