Year: 2006

Stephen Loftus has released a couple of new images of his ‘In Amber Clad’ scratchbuilt model – we’ve added them (and his descriptive text) to his progress page here at HBO. Check it out – fiber-optic lighting looks pretty slick!

TheGhost has moved his pretty amazing collection of links to HaloCE tutorials to a permanent home at Halomaps.org, courtesy of Dennis Powers – swing by for links to every fan-created tutorial related to content creation for Halo: Custom Edition you can think of! There’ve been a number of significant updates to this project since we…

The First Contact Half-Life 2 mod has released a large group of renders – go check out everything from vehicles to characters in their image gallery (the news post is here). Thanks to AngelicLionheart and xJayx for the heads-up(s)!

Stuntmutt mentions an update to his blog a couple of days ago – pictures, movies, guest strips… what more could you want? (Don’t answer that.) Go read!

Over at Team3D.net, F13ND sat down with Saiyan to talk about the upcoming MLG season opener, and the upcoming season. Go read!

SIRBOE created a really amazing-looking Halo sword (you gotta take a close look at the handle), and sent us a bunch of pics. At first glance, there are a lot of dupes – but he wanted to get a bunch of different angles to show you all the details. (For each pic, there are a…

Mostly from Psychophan7. Egg-lovin’, Halo-fan style.

Funky. Bloody Grunt and Black Sky Productions are putting together ‘Endurance Halo’ – fourteen players will face off in smaller and smaller teams, until only one from each team remains; finally, until only one remains. The entire thing will be filmed, and cut into an ‘unscripted combat gameshow’. It won’t be happening until this summer,…

Slacker Entertainment has posted Heroes & Heretics Flashback 4: Short Circuit. In Episode 3, you met the Helots – unaugmented soldiers wearing modified Spartan armor. Except for getting killed a lot, they seemed like a competent bunch… but Short Circuit tells a different story. A significantly more entertaining one. And I LOVE the medic. Swing…

Very nice – Hypersoldier has put up a Mjolnir Armor basic drawing guide over at LiveJournal. Give it a read! Thanks, HavokBlue.

We missed this, but back in December, corpseguy posted a note on the HaloPlanet forums about a full Master Chief suit he’s building (we’ve got a record of the helmets he’s been working on, but we missed the suit post). He came back yesterday, because he’s interested in using the suit in a live action…

Narcogen takes a long, analytical look at the E3 2003 demo, and how it differed from the game we eventually got. No, this isn’t one of those ‘omg they promised us Earth!’ rants – it’s actually pretty thoughtful, and looks at the difference in story-telling techniques between that piece and the final game. He makes…

Rooster Teeth has a new PSA up for sponsors; they’re looking at the current price of gasoline here in the US. It’s pretty funny stuff – if you’re a sponsor, go grab a copy! If you’re not, it should be available to everyone by Sunday or so. Thanks, Speedhuntr.

Weekly Update went live a couple of hours ago over at Bungie.net; there’s not a ton of new info there, but you can get a small glimpse inside Bungie Studios… and a look at Mister Chief on the can. Frankie was first, and you can read it locally in our Weekly Update Archive, if you…

Ninja on Fire posted an update about the XBL Halo 2 Playlist on Bungie.net; it’s not set in stone yet, but it’s close. If all goes well, they’ll deploy it in the next few weeks. Lots of changes – go read! Thanks, Sith.

Jillybean trawled (not trolled) our forum for some choice tidbits to sprinkle on your Story salad – swing by and read what she found.
