Keyes and his insecurities continue to be the focus of Halo: Resolution – check it out. Incidentally, Fuzzy asked that a public statement be made about Resolution sprites; they’re not for distribution. He doesn’t mean any offense by it, but he’d rather people stopped asking him for them, because he’s not planning on distributing them.…

We got mail this morning from Strato99, pointing out a bunch of purported Halo 2 screens. (The originals were housed on some student webspace in Sweden, but Strato said he found them in a forum somewhere.) These have been confirmed to be FAKES – please, if you see them around the web, don’t perpetuate the…

Greg Irvine put together a spreadsheet to keep track of player stats for his local LAN group. He’s now made it available to the community as a whole. You can grab it from our Miscellaneous section. (Read the page for instructions about use.)

Halo Babies has released this Friday’s comic a bit early – for sponsors. You can find it in the Sponsor’s forum. There’s also a new incentive to donate: drop off some money, get a halobabies.net email address. Go sign up!

Wow. Eclipse points out that Monoxide has posted to the Gearbox forums that ViperNeo has worked out some of the problems in porting AotCR to multiplayer – and it might even be out, as a mod, in the next week or so. Won’t THAT be a blast!

Wow. In the last month or so, a lot of links have been forwarded to us about Halo-related websites out there. I THINK I’ve culled all of them from our mail – but I might have missed one or two; apologies if that’s true. Forums: Covenant Grounds (Halo forum) [MSM]Gearbox (HPC Clan forum) Clan sites:…

ORACLE writes to point out a continuous Halo tourney in Pace, Florida (near Pensacola). Every Friday night at 6 pm, Homefield Sports and Games hosts a tourney; entry is $10, first place gets 40% of the take, second place gets 10%. (I suppose that means the house gets the other 50%.) He provided an address…

vector40 has posted the third segment of his ongoing series of articles on Banshee stategies – this one’s entitled ‘Applying Reality’. It focuses on the nitty gritty stuff – less abstract, more ‘I don’t care if it’s pretty, I just want to kill him’ stuff. It’s available at Subnova and Rampancy.net as well as the…

Back in November, we reported about a bundle being marketed by Best Buy – a controller and a DVD with Halo material on it. At the time, it was $19.99. (The DVD contained no ‘new’ material – but it did contain a hi-res version of the ‘Inside the Xbox’ documentary that showed at X03 last…

A couple of days ago, we got an email from Tim Leyk, who wanted to point out a Halo fan comic created by his sister, Tina Leyk. I visited the site, and was blown away by what I found – she’s a fantasy/furry artist, and Fur-lo (her Halo comic) incorporates furry art with Halo themes…

Eclarap points out that not only can you get the updates in German, as we mentioned earlier today, but in French, too – just stop by Halo-Game and see what they’ve got!

DocOctavius continues his rendering experimentation with an appropriately named image – ‘Action’. I’m lovin’ this stuff!

Stefan, from Halo Orbit, has pointed out that you can now read Frankie’s Weekly Bungie Updates in German, if you so desire – and they’re fully searchable, as well. Visit the archive for more details!

343GS.com updated their EchoFourNineteen comic series (check the downloads section) with a new strip on Friday – but we didn’t notice. (Thanks, snowy_duck, for pointing it out.) Interesting perspective on the Jackal language…

Ouch. Subnova has run out of money… it doesn’t look like it can afford to offer the services to the community that it’s been offering. (If you weren’t aware, roughly half of HBO’s pages have been running on Subnova servers for the past month or so.) We’re going to do our best to keep this…

Stuntmutt, never one to be right there on top of the day’s events, has written a Sunday Strip for One One Se7en that looks at… well, last week’s Weekly Bungie Update. You can never sink too low, it seems. There’s always another rung down.

HomelanFed recently interviewed the First Strike mod team about their work – the result is an interesting read. How they got started, what their mod will cover, what we might be seeing in the future… check it out!

Wow – now THAT’S a slick-looking Warthog. quaglinoman, over at the Halomods forums, has posted a TRON-inspired warthog (the original movie, not the recent game) – and it looks great. Check it out! (Thanks to TURBO for the heads-up.)

John Kedrowski pointed out the sad news that CobaltNova is hanging it up. No more Halo for Emil… he’s closing the doors.

Stuntmutt has provided the world with a bonus movie today – it weighs in at 552k, and it shows off what might just be the most powerful weapon we’ll see against certain enemies. Check out Pump Action!
