Red vs Blue Episode 49 has been released for sponsors… and for long-time Bungie fans, this one’s fantastic. (It’s great for everyone, actually – but the Marathon nod is awesome.) This is one of the funniest episodes I can remember; I think I like it when the whole team is feverish while recording. If you’re…

Walshicus continues his work on coloring the Hall of Mural tablets; he’s redone the third tablet (basically just a recoloring of the Prophets’ headdresses) and finished off the fourth. You can find them in his forum post, or on our Hall of Murals page.

Last week, a movie showing Ogre 1 participating in a KotH game on Lockout and racking up an amazing 41-0 kill record started making the rounds. It crushed Boomerica.com for the month, in less than a day. It looks like if you haven’t seen it, you can grab a copy off of Halo-Pro.com – thanks…

Week 13 of TalkXbox’s Halo 2 Strategy Series covers Colossus CTF. Thanks again to 3Suns for the heads-up.

Dennis Powers writes to point out that Episode 4 of the Halo CE Chronicles is now online at Halo Maps. Conceived as a showcase for Custom Edition works, this flash-based series is pretty different from most Halo-based machinima… it’s a lot less violent, for example. This episode continues the development of the Spartan and AI…

AGoldElite points out that W00tness (a comic we’ve followed in the past, and one we’ve unfortunately helped to take offline occasionally, due to bandwidth overages), has a new episode out – and Halo once again features prominently. It’s a serial strip, so you might have to go back a while if you haven’t been reading…

Yesterday evening, Bungie posted its weekly What’s Update – general answers to common questions, with a few oddities tossed in. A hint that a cheating fix might not be too far off, details on when you can and cannot use Halo-related artwork, when downloadable content is NOT coming out (Feb 14), and more. There’s also…

KingFarnox and the rest of Chronic V1RU5 Studios have created the first episode of a new machinima series, Delta Squad. Episode 1 is called ‘Zanzibar: Hostage Rescue’. Camera work is very nice; has the feel of wartime journalism, at least at the start. Nice timing, nice moves. Originally a 23.7 mb WMP9, I created a…

Hehe. Stuntmutt took his inspiration for today’s One One Se7en from today’s Halo Babies – how often do you get a chance like this? Made me laugh, anyway.

18 new pieces in the Fan Fiction hopper today – clears out the week. Go read! The weekend’s coming.

ICDedPpl is hosting a new contest – Photoshop Halo into a real-life picture, win cool schwag. (Okay, you don’t need to use Photoshop – any image editor will do, including MS Paint. But the Halo part has to be there.) Go read all the details – including the $250+ in prizes – over at his…

On and off, folks have talked about ‘custom gametype collections’ – websites where folks could get (and share) custom game settings for entertaining multiplay. Halo2Customs just opened its doors – and in addition to maintaining a reader-expandable collection of custom gametypes, it’s gone one step further; it’s offering Action Replay downloads of the most popular…

New strip over at Halo Babies… Gruntsbane makes clear his opinions of at least one possibility for a director for a Halo movie. Ouch!

Skeletor transcribed The Maw (from the Halo Soundtrack) for guitar some time ago, but forgot about it until he saw a recent news post. He’s made it available in Power Tab Editor format, and included a short recording of himself playing it. Grab them in his forum post.

Another Wednesday’s gone by, another Halo Humpday Challenge – this one was against the Halo2CE team (who are NOT, as a matter of fact, affiliated with HaloMods.com, no matter what the Humpday Challenge writeup says). Bungie actually WON this challenge, 2 games to 1… but check the stats for the WHOLE story. Nice playing! (Anyone…

trevor i presume points out a vid he made showing off Fusion Core jumping. It’s being hosted over at Team Dirty Tricks. 11 mb, WMP9 format.

BitMaP sent a note about a transcription he’s done for Remembrance (a beautiful piece that can be found on the Halo 2 Soundtrack). Looks like there’s quite a bit more on the way, as well… keep an eye on the site!

I find this intriguing… recently, GamaSutra offered a Question of the Week, in which they asked readers to discuss the most creative games of 2004 (thanks, Rampancy.net). What interested me was that out of all responses, only one person is quoted as having anything good to say about Halo 2 – and that person prefaces…

Michael Greenwood writes to let us know that H2 Advanced Stats, an online Stats aggregator we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, has moved to new digs, with a new site design, more options, and personalized pages coming soon. Take a look!

Looks like there’s a new Subzero Rivalries up over at Evilburger.net – and someone has a bone to pick with random team matchmaking. Thanks, MarkHawk.
