The First Strike mod team has posted their weekly update on our forum – progress mentions in many fields. They really seem like they’re coming along, though they’re hampered a bit by the lack of the HEK.

Wow, some big (and somewhat sad) news from the Project Halo team – easiest to simply let them speak:”It is with deep regret that I inform you that Project Halo is being discontinued, and that the project will be moving to a new name.    Due to lack of response from Bungie, the project has been halted…

Finn has taken another stab at the Halo Story Page mailbag. (It refuses to die, no matter HOW many times he stabs it.) Lots of speculation about the Blue Beam buildings this time around…

Wow. That was a nailbiter, for anyone watching the voting on the Gamespy Title Fight match… but in the end, Halo fans pulled out the win, 9232 to 9211 (yes, it was a 21 vote margin on almost 18,500 votes cast). Nice going, folks! Next up – Goldeneye – again. (Halo beat Goldeneye handily in…

We don’t usually do this… but this one’s gonna be pretty darn tight. The Gamespy Title Fight (Halo vs Quake is neck and neck; Quake is currently hanging on to a 50-vote lead (out of 15,000 cast). There are less than 2 hours of voting time left; votes are IP-checked, so if you’ve already voted…

Sort of a Sunday Calvin and Halo today – I gotta say, it looks like fun. Too bad it’s still snowing here…

Grenadiac has squashed a few new bugs (and added a new feature) in SparkEdit – v3.02 is available for download now at Halomods. Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the heads-up.

Forum newcomer Mills has tossed up his own collection of HUDless screenshots – and there are some doozies in there. Go look. They’re cool.

Dr. Nick has created a replacement deck for the standard Solitaire game that comes with Windows; you can see a screenshot of the installer, and have access to download links, in this forum post.

Red vs Blue has put up another Sponsors-only vid, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day; it’s short (1:14), and small (7.3 mb), and only available in the RvB forum at the moment… unfortunately for c0ld vengeance, credit for this one goes to Ross Mills, who noticed it and posted on our forum.

Whoa, it’s a close one. With about 11 hours left in the voting in today’s Gamespy Title Fight, Halo leads Quake by a pretty thin margin; 300 votes (out of a total of almost 9000 cast so far). If you haven’t voted yet, go do so now, and make sure that Halo advances to the…

For the first time in almost a year, HBO’s Movie Database is up-to-date; thanks to the help of Deanero, KP, and Mythica (especially Mythica), the number of movies recorded is almost double what it was yesterday. I’m sure there are mistakes, and oversights… but an awesome amount of work went into this, in an attempt…

There have been several examples of people getting out of the Maw near the beginning, but goatrope found a new one. Check out the small vid (3 mb) linked in his forum post – thanks to KP for the hosting. (1:11 long, DivX format.) Update: this has been mirrored at Rampancy.net, which is good, because…

There’s a poll over at XBN’s website, asking ‘What is your most wanted Xbox game right now?’ Halo is leading strongly, with 47% of the almost 1900 votes at the moment… but you never know. Thanks to Battleground: Halo for the heads-up.

One One Se7en takes a shot at Frankie today. Methinks the MC needs to clean that gun… it would misfire less.

Keyes drops a bombshell in today’s Halo: Resolution. I, for one, didn’t see it coming.

Wow. Ducain has come up with what I think is a brand-new trick; he’s put himself, and a Warthog, on top of the Light Bridge support structure underground in the level Halo. In single-player mode. He says it took him about 40 hours – but then, in reality, it’s taken more like 2.5 YEARS. Very…

The HBO-COERCE Halo PC server is BACK! The new IP address has been added to the top of this page, for status checks. It’s hard to tell, yet, but I’m guessing there’s a new mapcycle, as well. Go play!

The HUDless screenfest goes on. zarrel40 put up a few (one with a pretty cool transposition of the Threshold hologram), and MereCatfish continues his own posting spree. Nice stuff!

The next Halo-related round of the Gamespy Title Fight starts today at noon, PST; Halo goes up against Quake in The Abandoned Base bracket. (The winner faces TIE Fighter, Super Metroid, or GoldenEye 007 – that last a game beaten soundly by Halo in round 1, but back with an extra life.) Don’t forget to…
