241 new screenshots have been added to the Screenshots Database, covering all reviews listed to date and bringing us to the present. This brings the total number of Halo PC shots (1279) to within striking distance of all the Xbox Halo shots to date (1312) – wow.

Almost missed this – I’m WAY behind on mail. Jarvis Badgley subscribes to a monthly mailing list from Del Rey Books which keeps him informed of upcoming SF releases. In this month’s note:HALO FANS REJOICE! Del Rey has an agreement to produce THE ART OF HALO by Eric Trautmann, under the very successful Microsoft Xbox…

Couple of reviews in the past week – both courtesy of Blue’s News. Review Gamer mostly liked it (8.96/10); they felt a few parts were too linear. Gbase.ch (a Swiss site, in German) wrote a 3 page review, and eventually gave it an 85/100. (They gave it a perfect 10 on Controls.) Update: A few…

Well, doodoo. Somehow, I managed to miss the third and final installment of the Anime Reactor writeup that mehve put up at Bungie.net – it’s over a week old now. There’s a little bit of Halo information, and I’m gonna post this so that I can find it in six months… but if you’ve been…

Whoa. Totally missed this in time to warn you… but the deadline has passed for the Clan Website contest being run by Carnagereport.com (we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago). Judging is happening this week, and the results will be announced on Saturday, November 15. (Hey! Maybe THAT’S what all the rumors were about!)

Nick Danger pointed out a pretty funny movie over at Halomods – a 2D Halo scroller? Dunno if it’s real or not – but the vid’s definitely worth the download. (3.3 mb, AVI format.)

Halo web stuff again – apologies for letting this build up.Echo-413 (General Halo Guide site)Seraphim Clan (Halo PC clan)Art of Death clan (Halo PC clan)Nemex Clan (Halo PC clan)The Soviet Spartan, of Art of Death, wanted folks to know that he’s working on setting up allied and rival clans – he’d love to see clans…

So how much DOES the MC weigh? {SS}Zag1 looks at the issue in today’s guest One One Se7en. For future reference – this is a bad thing to do to a superior officer… ESPECIALLY on Veterans Day. (Thanks, to all the real-world soldiers out there.)

Absurd number of Fan Fiction bits, because I was off this weekend… Blue Squadron Chronicles, Part Five, by Hunter_Killer Blue Squadron Theme Song, by Hunter_Killer The 7th Column: First Strike, by Mainevent Derailed Final Part, by Dispraiser A John Before Halo: Part 15, by J-117 Shadow Ops II: Nowhere to Run, Chapter Four, by Nemesis…

Synide has whipped up a new vid, just in time for the opening of halo.synide.net. It’s called bridgeJump.mov, and it weighs in at 8.6 mb (QuickTime format, 320×240). It shows a trick not yet filmed (crossing the light bridge gap before the bridge has been activated)… but the rest of the movie shows what happens…

The Rabid Lilliputians, a clan of… well, small players with their tongues wedged firmly in their cheeks, have set up a tournament: Best of the Best. You go to their site, you vote for who you think are the top 10 HPC players. After the voting period has ended, the top 15 nominated players will…

There’s an article over at the Junkyard, written by MrFluffyPants26, about BOLL’s mods. The first half is pretty interesting – some thoughts from BOLL on which mods he likes best, and what he used – and then there’s a description of a few of the best-known mods. The second half is completely indecipherable – it’s…

If you live in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, Halo Orbit is running a Halo quiz with Halo schwag as prizes. Take a look!

Reading our forum for these past couple of days has been painful. Dozens and dozens of new people (or even old hands who should know better), jumping in with links to rumors around the net, stating that Halo 2 will be out next week (or by November 28, or in time for Christmas)… SketchFactor jumped…

Stuntmutt takes a shot at Halo PC shortcomings in today’s One One Se7en. (This was FAR more relevant a month ago… blame the limitations of time, rather than Stuntmutt, for this.)

So what do you do when the AI in your head starts making you hear voices? (Well, her voice, anyway…) Check today’s Halo: Resolution.

Jake ‘Evergreen98’ Billo over at the Junkyard has written an interesting article on Halo’s User Interface, a part of the game you don’t pay a lot of attention to. (In general, the better a UI design is, the less you notice it. It’s there to facilitate your gameplay, not make itself known. Halo’s is quite…

Okay, I’m posting this to decrease the mail flood, not because I want to lend any validity to the absurdity. There are rumors around the net right now that Halo 2 will be released, in a suprise move, in less than a week. (Here’s one story now.) I don’t have any inside information on when…

Jillybean points out one possible use for newbies in today’s guest One One Se7en. Please don’t try this at home. Professional MC on a closed track.

Another massive Halo Story page update, Finn this time. Lots and lots and lots to read. Go read.
