The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2006

  • One One Se7en – The Book

    Stuntmutt’s finally gone and done it; he’s compiled the first 200 strips into an actual book, tossed in some exclusive content – and is selling the finished product. Looks fantastic! For a huge dose of corn all in one convenient place, stop by his blog for ordering instructions.

  • No Remorse Released

    NeuroKoNeza stopped by our forum to point out that No Remorse, a very cool-looking HaloCE map (we mentioned it here, and more screens showed up on our forum a few days ago), is now finished and ready for download. There’s a screenshot in the new forum post (more in the one from last week), and…

  • Halo – the MMO

    We got a press release from Jagex, the Runescape guys. There’s a new MMO in town, folks! Check it out; not coming anytime soon, but geez… I’m drooling.

  • Team3D Gearing Up Again

    Team3D is getting back into shape after taking some time off – F13ND interviewed Hotshy about what’s coming up for them. Discussion of the MLG2006 season, and more. Go read!

  • Halo on the PSP – finally!

    Mintz sent us a link to an article on Halo: Portable that shows how a team of hackers got Halo running on a PSP. Check it out!

  • Halo at I-Con

    Devastator (who we’ve mentioned in the past) went to the I-Con Sci-Fi convention in New York last weekend – and won first prize for his MC costume. Check out the pics!

  • New Vids at H2F

    Two new movies of note over at Halo2Forum.com. The first is a dual montage from Wedow and Vinny Jones; it’s pretty cool, because Wedow did a fantastic job of color-coding the clips to let you know who was playing. (Watch it – it’ll make more sense once you do.) This one’s 128 mb, in WMP9…

  • Who was MC’s Grandfather?

    Pak noticed a Halo 3 mention in yesterday’s Press Start to Play. Don’t tell Shishka.

  • Shut Up.

    The Bungie Weekly Update is up – and though the date on the top of this page reads April 1, this update was posted on March 31 at Bungie.net – which means you should be pretty safe from April Fools-type jokes. Frankie debunks a rumor, sort of debunks a second one, tosses fans a REALLY…

  • Episode 56: Podtacular Update

    Download | Show Notes I know, we’re early. We’re getting back on track for a early in the week show release. So you’ll get episode 57 early next week, hopefully Monday. So this is the update show, where we talk about some community news, some Halo news, and read back some “you know you play…

  • What Number Strip Is This?

    In honor of the 458th One One Se7en, Stuntmutt takes another look at Nicole… though not the look he’d like to take.

  • Light Reading Week

    Well, after deleting the first 6 instances of The Meep’s first chapter (why do people have to go all postal on the submit button?), the solid blocks of unformatted text, and the speculation that belongs on the Story page or our forum, we’re left with 9 Fan Fiction entries this week. Go read.

  • You coulda built Rome a few times.

    Over at Subnova, Funkmon found an article with some stats about Xbox Live – and while it focuses mostly on how the 360 is more tightly integrated with XBL than the original box was, it contains a Halo stat that’s pretty amazing: one third of all hours logged on Xbox Live since the service went…

  • IGN: The Rumor Guys

    Gah. When sites as big as IGN post rumors about Halo 3 release dates, our mailboxes fill up with speculation. According to them, Halo 3 will be released in March 2007, with more info coming at E3. This might be true, it might be garbage… we can’t say. Bungie is still keeping mum about whether…

  • Podtacular Pro clans are evolving

    This is only for the pro clans. If you are in a rec clan or you’re not in a Podtacular clan, everything stays the same. The pro clans are a good idea, no doubt. But they weren’t working in most cases because some small teams just didn’t gel together. So some teams just never played…

  • Lego Zanzibar

    Kooberz has been building a model of Zanzibar out of Legos for quite some time – but he’s run out of money. He sent along a bunch of pics of the project as it stands… pretty cool stuff! Take a look.

  • Zany troupe, indeed.

    Heh – the Rooster Teeth crew will be doing a film and Q&A session at the upcoming San Francisco Film Festival, in April and May. The title of the film? ‘Cock Byte: Masters of Machinima’ – you should definitely get tickets if you’re in the area. (They go on sale to the general public next…

  • Podtacular’s new audio editor: Ciclonic!

    Big congratulations to Ciclonic (aka ll Jurassic ll) for winning the audio editing contest and being the new audio editor at Podtacular. It was a really tough decision as we had some good entries. Also I’d like to give an honorable mention to the others who tried out: Quality Jeverage, GMan, Fuzy Bunny Feet, and…
