Back in September, an interesting documentary was shown at the X03 event in France. It was a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Halo 2, created by Film Oasis, the company behind ‘Inside the Xbox’, a documentary shown on the Discovery Channel last summer. Unfortunately, the only version available has been a shakey-cam piece filmed…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en strip comes from Traumatised Marine – and points out the soldier Bungie managed to overlook when they populated the Pillar of Autumn.

Once again, a 3-day hiatus in Fan Fiction posting has led to a ridiculously-sized update; 31 stories. (There was one more, valid one… but it was too big, and the database couldn’t handle it. Hopefully, the submitter will resubmit in smaller chunks.) Final Fate: Mankind’s Despise, by Jinkaiden-XI The Final War: Battle for Installation 02…

It’s been quite a bit of work, and not all of it’s visible… but mnemesis and Finn have overhauled the Halo Story page, with new design tweaks, new organization, and new information. Poke around, see what you can find… there’s some good stuff in there!

Today’s One One Se7en has MC a tad fixated on the review score Edge Magazine gave Halo PC. We know how that can be. (On a more sober note, for all the folks who misinterpreted my One One Se7en note yesterday – the truth is, I LOVE this strip. I wouldn’t complain if Stuntmutt turned…

The sad thing about today’s Halo: Resolution is that we’re STILL getting emails like this, more than 2 years after the release of Xbox Halo.

MaverickJ stopped in this afternoon to post the results from the AGP Fall 2003 Halo Championship. HP Darkman was unseated by Walshy of the Psycho Soldiers, with Clockwork and Strange Purple taking 3rd and 4th spots. Forum regular Break Point was there, and wrote up his own take on Day 1 – there’s a version…

progamerz stopped by our forum to point out that a new version of HaloSpy has been released; this build adds screenshot viewing capabilities and autojoin and game autolaunch functions. Check it out!

Ross Mills found a Master Chief model for Unreal Tournament 2; you can find download links (and a screenshot of the model) in this thread on the Atari forums. His feet look a little funny… but maybe that’s just the angle.

Not long ago, it became clear that the submissions for One One Se7en were quickly outstripping our chance of hosting them in a reasonable timeframe, and the Archive was born. (Next week’s Archive update already has nearly 30 strips in it.) It took much of the pressure off the Guest queue… but Stuntmutt hasn’t been…

Wonga. Now that the DVDs are done, Red vs Blue is back at work; filming on season 2 has begun, and they’re shooting for a mid-December release of episode 20. (They’re also hoping to have another Public Service Announcement between now and then.) Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up.

18 stories for you since the last Fan Fiction update (36 hours ago): The Battle for Phi Delta: Part 1, by witelancer 500 Men. 1000 Covenant. 1 Spartan. 1 Building. , by Steve Fight or flight: Chapter Three, by teemus The Battle for Phi Delta: Part Two, by witelancer The Last Forerunner Part 1:The Battle…

Ross Mills has whipped up a short Christmas-themed film for you; only 26 shopping days left! Timing’s nice, though it would have been more impressive had there been no need to manipulate pitch… it’s 1:21 long, and available in both WMP9 and QT formats (4.8 mb each, you choose). Don’t hate him for the suffering…

A couple of members of the Halo Elites wrote to say that their clan website is now online, and they’re looking for new members. Check it out!

In today’s Guest One One Se7en strip, Stumanji looks at possible Covenant counterattacks to the new Mark VI armor and weapons. Ouch!

NINJ4 posted a funny little animated gif earlier today… I can’t say I haven’t wished I’d had one of these… (The image is now local, to keep from crushing his connection.)

Hehe – the Story page boys get a nod from 343GS.com today, with the latest installment of echofournineteen, their ongoing comic. (Check the Downloads section.) Thanks, Madda Cheeb.

progamerz points out that over at halocity.org/forums, there is quite a bit of info about making Halo PC maps and mods. (He also pointed out molkien.halocity.org, a mod site with a pretty cool-looking map in progress called Cliffhanger.) Look around!

This came in a few days ago, too – we’re slipping. Efighter wrote to point out that The Red Army Clan for Halo is currently recruiting. Drop by their forum if you’re interested.

DOH! mrsmiley stepped in and created a Thanksgiving-themed Halo Babies when Gruntsbane had family obligations… we missed it because we took yesterday off. Take a look!
