Covenant Boarding Craft, Up Close
Stephen Loftus sent along another analytical article, this time with the help of Dojorkan (who took some awesome pictures). This one looks closely at the Covenant Boarding Craft – that remora-like vehicle which attaches itself to any enemy structure and allows the troops inside to burn through a hull or outer wall to gain access…

MLGPro – Content Overload
3Suns pointed out quite a bit of cool content over at MLGPro.com; you can find a bunch of new photo galleries (new in that they weren’t there before – but the pics are from old events), a focus on Saiyan as Player of the Week, some cool pics from Synide’s journal showing the equipment they…

Needler for Auction
A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned an auction on eBay in which someone was selling crystals for a fan-made needler. Bungie mentioned it, as well, and pointed out that had he been trying to sell the needler, he might have run into trouble. The needles sold for $60 (well below what they cost the…

Does Rage Fade With Age?
It’s not totally Halo-related, but he DOES have the messiest desk at Bungie, and it’s entirely possible that large chunks of the Halo bible are buried there, lost forever… so we’re gonna wish Mat Noguchi a happy birthday today! (Thanks to our resident Bungie stalker, mnemesis, who found it on Mat’s brother’s website.

Sound Spoof
Brad decided that it might be fun to play with some of the people who like to swear at you in pre-and post-game chat; he modded his headset to allow input from his computer. It’s amazing how much anger Mr. Rogers can inspire. He’s got 91 recordings online right now, with a couple of hundred…

I’m not a freakin’ alarm clock.
Awesome. Heroes & Heretics Flashback 2: Time & Temperature has been posted over at Slacker Entertainment (thanks, Construct-III). LaFonda has got to be the best AI in the Halo universe. Available in QuickTime and DivX on their site; apparently, there was a codec problem so we’re offering WMP9 versions locally (high | low). Nobody should…
