Hehe – seems some people have had trouble with the new bungie.net… Preston the Cyberdog discovered a hard-to-find secret feature of the new site, and took a screen (203K). Only from Microsoft…

MonoxideC (in what may be his last act as a member of the Halo modding community, sadly) has released Halo Map Tools 3.5, an update which provides easy Single-Player to Multiplayer conversion, model injection, and a detailed tutorial for both. it’s a 1.3 mb download – get it now!

Halo50k3, a new event from the organizers of the first two Halo50k events, has now been officially announced. (The press release can be found on their website. The highlights: A minimum of $10,000 will be presented to the winners, the tournament will take place in Atlanta on July 24th and 25th, and Major League Gaming…

You’ve been waiting for it… the day has come. The new Bungie.net has launched… and it’s beautiful. Totally new navigation… new content, new forums, and not one, but TWO new top stories: one details the new tidbits available on Bungie.net, the other takes a serious stroll down memory lane, looking at pre-Xbox Halo (with tons…

The submission window for the Win a Date with One One Se7en contest is officially closed. Thanks to everyone who participated… the judges will now take on the daunting task of winnowing down the 3500 entries to 5 winners. We should have results for you by Wednesday.

Last Friday’s Weekly Bungie Update (over at Sector 7) has now been added to our Archive. Did you know that this update is the third time that Frankie’s mentioned Alta?

One One Se7en admits the obvious… again.

Halo: Resolution finds a… new toy.

Halomods.com is back up (well done, Grenadiac!), and one of the more impressive new releases comes from BorgScooby; it’s a reworking of the central underground area on AotCR, and it’s called ‘The Chasm’. A lot of thought went into this; you can get a decent sense for the level in the movie in this thread,…

Thanks to the lots and lots and lots of people who pointed out the mistake I made in yesterday’s Nightmare Armor news post. That’s not a Grunt mask, it’s a Jin-Roh helmet (from the Japanese animated movie of the same name). My bad. First correction came from TigerHawk, on our forum. You can stop writing…

Nice find by Ross Mills – Yomary Cruz, the voice actress for Sheila the Tank in Red vs Blue, has a website up, and on it is a movie containing all the Sheila lines in one place. Nice!

MasterNeoChief has created a mod called Halo Elite Battles; you play as an Elite, and your job is to wipe out the Human forces. (There’s even a destructible Pelican mod.) A trailer can be found in this thread, the mod itself in this one (both at Halomods). If the links don’t work, try again later;…

A month ago, Project Halo closed its doors as a Halo-related game. They didn’t dissolve as a team, however; they’re now working on a project called ‘Supreme Conflict: The Enna Wars’, and have recently put up a new forum for discussion. They’re hoping to have a Halo-based mod of their game at some point, even.…

Whoa – bunch of new stuff at Nightmare Armor… Easter Egg helmets (hehe), and some pics of NEW work; a Grunt helmet? I want, I want! (Also, a very nice pair of shots of the Rocket Launcher. Coming along!) Thanks to {SS}Zag1 for the heads-up. Update: AAAA, I’m jealous. Dolbex visited the Nightmare Armor guys…

Tina Leyk has been busy recently… we’ve got a bunch of new stuff from her. On the Fur-Lo comic page, you’ll find a new pair of single-panel strips, ‘FETCH!’ and ‘Mission Invisible’. On our general art page for her, you’ll find two new doodles (I found them both quite funny), and a pretty awesome plushy…

Updates will be light today, due to the fact that it’s Easter… but we’ve got a couple of things, at least. First off, Stuntmutt turns in a new Sunday One One Se7en strip (which also, nicely, works as a Holiday strip… not bad). Apologies to the poor MC, who found the WRONG person to rile…

Webshift dropped into our forum to point out a couple of pretty cool things over at the Nightmare Armor site… first, there are photos of the blue armor, in all its glory, worn on a deck in the beautiful backwoods of Georgia – pretty snazzy! Second, there’s a new raffle going on, this time for…

Looks like you can get your hands on one of those Halo 2 calendars without doing anything except filling in your name… Forerunners.org is giving away 5 of them, as well. The catch? Some browsers can see the page… others get an error; 500 has been seen, as has 1060. All I can suggest is…

There’s a pretty cool new page over at Red vs Blue – a history of the group, as written by the resident psycho, gFunk. It’s a sad tale of loneliness and betrayal, but with an uplifting message at the end. Or maybe that’s just the alcohol. Credit for the find goes to pilotelite, who seems…

Devin Olsen and Gil27 have completed work on The Reactor Room – a multiplayer level based on the Maw’s Reactor Room. It’s downloadable at Halomods.com. Check it out!
