The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2006

  • The Halo-Related Art of Luke McKay

    Well, I haven’t gotten EXPLICIT approval, but he’s linked to it from his Red vs Blue profile… so I guess he’s okay with it. If you visit Red vs Blue for anything other than the videos themselves (that is – if you avail yourself of the community tools provided by the website), you’ve almost certainly…

  • This Spartan Life: Travelogue

    Swing by This Spartan Life for Episode 3, Module 2: Travelogue. It’s a really quick overview of some glitches accessible in Halo 2 levels. If you’re a regular at High Impact Halo, you won’t see anything new – but the composition is quite nice. There’s another new ep coming soon, as well!

  • Banshee battle engineering

    Rockslider continues his Halo Level 2 expansions with Banshee Battle Engineering, allowing you to pick the spots for your battles. Check out his forum post, and follow it to his website!

  • MPRRS movie ranking exposed

    This has been asked several times and always dismissed since we have seen that publicly viewed ranking systems can be bad things. However, as a movie “watcher” and “submitter” you may find it interesting in what your fellow community members find to be the top ranked movies. This shows the percentage that each passed movie…

  • Bungie’s next game: Forerunner

    This showed up in our forum a couple of days ago, and was quickly debunked by Frankie… but we’re getting plenty of mail right now, so it’s probably time for a front page post. The April issue (April? That month should send up flags) of Game Informer contains a story about Bungie’s next game -…

  • Tons of Halo goodies for cheap

    Speaking of eBay… this is pretty nice. Sulaco is selling his Xbox goodies – a Halo Special Edition Xbox, copies of Halo, Halo 2 (the Limited Edition version), Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Splinter Cell, hi-def cables, the Xbox DVD remote, a communicator headset for Live, and more – current bid is $51, and there’s no…

  • Plasma Pistol for Sale

    Gryponosiris found a Covenant Plasma Pistol replica (heh – as though there’s a REAL one I need to differentiate from) on eBay; two days left, starting bid of $99. I guess this is becoming big business! Bungie has said, more than once, that the day might come when they crack down on this stuff… so…

  • Stern comments on Halo 2

    Someone sent me this link, I think it’s pretty hilarious. It’s a 2 minute snippet from Howard Stern’s Sirius radio broadcast of 3-15-06 where one of the staff explains his adventures in XBL playing Halo 2. It’s interesting to see how others who are not clued in about XBL, Halo 2, and console games in…

  • Halo TS tourney in PA

    If you’re in or near Philadelphia, check out Cyberzone – they’re having a Halo 2 2v2 Team Slayer tourney this weekend. More details can be found on their website.

  • Halo 2 Sites – your way

    PEZ writes to point out that halowiki.net has revamped their Halo 2 Sites article – it gives you an overview of many of the sites in the Halo community, and if there’s a site you like that isn’t on the list, you can simply add it. Swing by and take a look!

  • It’s A Zinger.

    Remember all that talk about Delta Halo’s QuadWings last week? Stuntmutt does – and looks at the logical conclusion; check today’s One One Se7en.

  • MC Figurine, Revisited

    Yesterday, we mentioned a figurine that agdTinMan found on the web – he was unsure whether it was real or not. Mortalis pointed out that not only was it real, but he owned it – and he sent us some pics for you. Check it out!

  • SONY: PS3 end of 2006

    SONY is finally talking. PS3 out in November – worldwide – with a 60GB hdd, netword card, and running LINUX. Oh wow. Linux. This thing is a mini PC. I can’t wait to see all the hacks that will come out. It’…

  • Pistol replica fersale

    Gryphonosiris found yet another one of those cool fullsize M6D replicas on eBay; folks who’ve bought them so far seem to have been pretty satisfied. This one’s got 2 days left, with a bid price of $100, and a buy-it-now price of $140.

  • Bungie Cribs

    Running behind today – first up, a new top story at Bungie.net. It looks at the AV setups used by some of the Bungie guys in their own houses… and man, some of ’em must go hungry to afford this stuff. Pretty cool pics – and of course, Frankie was first. Check that thread for…

  • HCEC: Valley of the Forerunners, Part 3

    The Valley of the Forerunners, Part 3 has been released over at the Halo CE Chronicles website. Harrington encounters stiff resistance from the marine contingent… and the first real sign of trouble appears. 7:29 long, available (as always) in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash formats. Go watch!

  • Meet The Chief

    Thomas Reynolds submitted a film called ‘Meet The Chief’ to the MPRRS – and they liked it, quite a lot. It’s rather unique; I’m not sure how to describe it without stealing any of its thunder, so I’ll simply post the description Thomas gave it when he submitted it:A Halo 2 obsessed fan gets drawn…

  • No, I mean shut up Grif!

    Red vs Blue Episode 75 – ‘Things Are Looking Down’ – has been posted for sponsors. The Red Team is reunited with Lopez, and the Blue Team introduces Andy to Doc (well, sort of). If I ever join an armed force, I hope nobody like Sarge is anywhere above me… thanks, DirePhoenix.

  • More German Elite Articles

    About a month ago, we pointed out an analysis of Elites, written in German and hosted at Halo Orbit (Part 1 (pages 1-3) | Part 2 (page 4)). Recently, we received word about two more parts; I’m not exactly sure when they came in, because the date stamp on the emails says 1997… but they’re…

  • Sex, Drugs, and Halo Pros, Part 2

    A million years ago (okay, last April), Team GAG released a movie called ‘Sex, Drugs, and Halo Pros, Part 1’ – the first half of a chronicle of the team’s road trip from Chicago to Houston in order to participate at MLG Houston, last March. They’ve finally released Part 2. If you ever wondered how…
