    Okay, so this isn’t really Halo news, but it’s an issue that’s taking over our forum, so it’s worth giving a bit of space to. If you hit up the new Bungie.net, and you get a message that “The page is unavailable or no longer exists,” you’re being bitten by a Windows Live ID problem.…

    Ouch – I’ve seen a lot of reviews of Halo 2 Vista, and most have been pretty positive (even the ones that say ‘well, the graphics are 3 years old now’) – but there’s one over at Voodoo Extreme that… well, doesn’t sound so good. That dual-wielding issue sounds pretty strange!(Louis Wu 18:39:22 UTC)

    Lone Ranger was the first to notice a writeup of last week’s Halo Humpday Challenge – Bungie employees (and friends) took on the guys from Industrial Light and Magic, and (with the exception of Frankie), acquitted themselves nicely. The game links are wrong (except for the first one) – they all point to the first…

    Wow, nice. Leviathan is building a version of Halo for RPG Maker 2000 – he’s posted a LOT of pictures in this forum post. Check out how far he’s gotten!(Louis Wu 18:29:11 UTC)

    Stories circulated yesterday that Bungie.net might have been hacked, and Xbox Live accounts compromised because of it. (Hanchen Lu was the first to mention it to us.) Major Nelson was quick to shoot the rumors down (thanks, JeBr0nie) – and Frankie put it up at Bungie.net, too. Bottom line – if someone asks you for…

    Bungie.net’s Recent News

    Recent rumors that Bungie.net has been hacked, and that your personal data has been compromised or stolen, are utterly false. Bungie.net has not been hacked, and frankly, there’s nothing to hack. Bungie.net’s database does not contain any of your personal information other than your Gamertag and Halo 2 stats.

    Awesome. agdtinman (who used to work for Bungie) has put up a page that contains all the Top Story icons he had a hand in creating – since they won’t be seen any more on Bungie.net. Gawjuss!(Louis Wu 18:19:44 UTC)

    Pro-G noticed that Halo 2 has seen a total of 4.75 million unique gamertags, according to Bungie’s latest stats. Now, Narcogen wrote a lot of words recently about Xbox Live, and its 6 million user milestone (and why the raw numbers aren’t that useful) – but this Halo 2 number is pretty darned impressive… almost…

    Apologies for the lack of news; things here have not been… good. Yesterday, we received a cool little vid from Benjamin Tuck, a Lego enthusiast from the UK. He’s expecting to create longer animations over the spring and summer, so think of this as an appetite-whetter. It’s quite small (about 3 mb), in either WMP9…

This comes soon after a not so smart beta tester decided to break the NDA and post a video of himself playing the…
