Microsoft’s Halo 2 splash site (Halo2.com) has been updated – all the new Game Informer screenshots have been added, as well as that amazing Eddie Smith artwork that showed up in the Swedish SuperPlay print article. (It can be found under ‘Screenshots’, which is sort of silly… but I guess they don’t have a ‘Wallpaper’…

Red vs Blue has put up a HUGE collection of viewer-submitted artwork; icons, wallpaper, random pics… go check it all out. Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up.

Holy moley. You whine in an intelligent manner, things happen. I posted a note here earlier about the new story summary at Xbox.com, and complained that it had some non-canon ideas in it. (There was a forum thread that went into more depth, as well.) I sort of wish I’d kept a copy of the…

The Weekly Halo Update is over at the 343GS forums today; Frankie says it’s short, but man, it seems more to the point (and with more luscious detail than usual) than most. Go read it, it’ll make you drool.

New Frontline with Suzie – this week, it’s called ‘A spot of bother’, and has commentary from Suzie in the middle of a rockslide megabattle. Thanks, rockslider…

There’s a new article up at Xbox.com – it’s called ‘Halo 2: Storyline’, and it summarizes the plot of Halo for folks who haven’t played it. Hardcore story fanatics will be unhappy (it’s chock-full of… um, inconsistencies), but as a short summary of where things stand, it’s fine. Thanks to Cullen, via irc, for the…

Stuntmutt takes one last shot at our poor, defenseless, maskless grunt in today’s One One Se7en. Good thing it’s the weekend coming up. That guy needs a break.

Has Fuzzy run out of ideas for Halo: Resolution? Check today’s episode and find out.

Bunch of new stuff over at Halo Babies – it IS Friday, after all. There’s a new strip, of course (pretty funny, I’d say), a bunch of new artwork, and, in an attempt to clean up their comments section, some pretty stiff rules about abuse. (Given the abuse our Fanfic comments section sees, I can…

Eep – been a few days since I remembered to update the Fan Fiction section – now there are 26 stories for you. Go read!

SEspider has fired up another contest in our forum – come up with a Wallpaper using images from Miniature Halo, win some cool action figures. Details are in the post – deadline is July 10. Get cracking!

Wow – this is some amazing cojones – selling cheats for Halo 2 on eBay. (Even better – someone paid over $30 to buy ’em.) In case it gets pulled for the fraud that it is, there’s a local, no-links copy here. Thanks to IXIGhandiIXI for the heads-up.

Sparkypinball put together the first of what looks to be a series of How-To guides for Halo; this one is called ‘Sparky’s Guide to Vehicle Handling’. It covers such topics as Warthog/Ghost jumps without flipping, the differences between Halo PC Hogs, and how to maximize your forward progress in a Ghost. Nice read!

The MorningStar has written up a guide explaining how to connect your Xbox to the internet for Xbox Live. This gives you plenty of time to absorb the wisdom before Halo 2 is released. (Mind, there’s plenty to do on XBL RIGHT NOW, and this information can be used to get you there… but this…

moddedcyborg has put together a few 3D screenshots – the kind that need those cheesy red and blue glasses to see properly. Reaction is good, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy ’em as soon as I can find my kids’ copy of Spy Kids 3D…

Dan Chosich posted a short (52 second) but very sweet movie that basically gives an overview of his body of Halo filmmaking. If you’ve never seen Dan’s work, watch this film – it’ll make you want to watch more. If you HAVE seen Dan’s work, check this out for a quick thrill. It’s 15.5 mb…

Cunbelin has posted the second of his weekly bi-weekly updates on the state of Halo Custom Edition and the Editing Kit, over at Bungie.net. Seems a little rushed, but it points out a few very nice maps, and gives a little background on some upcoming stuff. Thanks to haloguesser for the heads-up.

Teehee… Chilton Webb points out the stuntrider on the far right of this concept art. Who says Bungie’s not expecting you to have fun?

Calvin and Halo shows why it’s not always a good idea to try and outsmart your parents.
