  • 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…

  • Adam Roe’s Painted Chief

    agdTinMan found a pretty cool 3D Master Chief figurine (3 inches tall), and posted word of it on our forum. Give it a look!

  • Conquest Trailer

    The Broken Console team is starting a new series – this one is called ‘Conquest’, and they’ve got a trailer for it up on their site (WMP9 and QuickTime). Go watch! Nice mix of Halo and Halo 2 footage, and movie dialogue.

  • Age(s) of Conversion

    Se7en One continues his Hall of Mural 3D conversions – Mural 5 is now available from the Hall of Murals page (QT or WMP9). Go grab a copy!

  • Bucket Heid.

    Today’s One One Se7en takes a poke at Bungie’s newest hire… but I’m guessing Frankie might have something to say about (aboot?) it as well.

  • The Big Pink Elephant

    Over the past few months, Narcogen has been getting more and more vocal about his distaste for the Bungie policy of silence with respect to upcoming projects. (He’s not complaining that they’re not discussing upcoming projects in detail – he’s unhappy that they’re not even saying WHAT they’re working on – that today, almost a…

  • Podtacular Ep 53

    Foo Mo Jive points out that Podtacular Episode 53 has been posted – it looks at what gamers want to see in Halo 3, as well as what other games Halo players are into right now. Go grab a copy.

  • New Work from Bryn Casey

    Bryn Casey went on an art tear this weekend – go check out Cabin, Bay, and Outskirts. I love the feel of this guy’s work!

  • The Dangers of Online Gaming

    There’ve been a couple of articles recently looking at the dangers inherent in online gaming – mostly for children, and mostly related to the interactions they might have with other gamers. I bypassed the first one, yesterday, from the Lansing State Journal, because it was somewhat tangential to Halo (it mentioned the game only once,…

  • Halo Armor on eBay

    There are a couple of sets of Halo armor available on eBay; I forgot to post about this full Nightmare Armor set (mentioned on our forum by devildeggs on Friday) – you still have more than 4 days left to decide about this; starting bid is $2000. And this morning, we got mail from Jake…

  • Halo Nerds Ep 3 Part 1

    spartanerik pointed out a new Flash vid – ‘Halo Nerds Ep 3 Part 1’, over at Newgrounds. Nice artwork – but I found it pretty dull, overall. Maybe it’s just me. Go watch.

  • In Amber Clad Model Update

    Stephen Loftus has restarted his scale model of In Amber Clad, and has taken a couple of new pictures showing the current progress. (He’s a bit beyond where he was before, but with a much more flexible model design.) You can see the work on his own site (linked from the forum post), or in…

  • Mural 4: Age(s) of Discovery

    Se7en One continues his 3D-ifying of the Murals that showed up on the LE DVD; you can find QuickTime and WMP9 versions of Mural 4 on the Hall of Murals page.

  • Just PSP It.

    Mintz points out that there a few new items at Halo: Portable this week – the weekly update, of course, and a PSP version of Mothergoat’s MPD vid. Go get ’em!

  • Airsoft Battle Rifle

    LazerBlader found a homemade Halo 2 Battle Rifle Airsoft gun on eBay today (six days left on the auction) – and I noticed an older shot of the same gun that was uploaded to us a bit earlier (apologies to Ken, the seller; I’ve been really, really behind on the uploads directory). Pretty nice work!

  • Prettiness for your desktop

    Man. I can’t believe it’s been two and a half months since the Wallpaper section was updated. There’s some really cool stuff in there this time around – go check ’em out!

  • Soldiers of War, Episode Two

    QuickTactical submitted Episode Two of his Soldiers of War series to the MPRRS, and it passed. (I guess Ep 1 didn’t pass; you can find a link on their website.) Because we’re hosting, you can grab it in WMP9 format (45.5 mb) or QuickTime format (43.7 mb). (Episodes on their site are WMP9 only.) This…

  • New Fun on SC

    Rockslider has written up a new section on his Bad Cyborg site which covers getting to the top of Silent Cartographer, including creating a good save to work from. Once up there, you can make use of his plasma pistol sniping suggestions.

  • Query Spree 1.1.4

    Query Spree has been updated; lots and lots of changes, it seems. Swing by the site to grab a copy. (Still no OSX version, unfortunately.) Thanks, Vironex.
