Advances in the modding scene
For those with modded Xboxes, HaloSkins has posted a couple of mods that might be of interest to you. 1guydriveby allows the driver of a Warthog to fire its LAAG gun while driving… your games of Warthog Jousting just got deadlier. Walk on Walls allows you to… well, walk on walls. (Up and over any…

Gearbox posts Sapien shot
Gearbox has put up another new screenie – this time, it’s a shot of Sapien, the tool used to populate maps after creation. Get a feel for what sort of options are available… (The work items list is down to 48, as well… not long now!) Thanks to Satesh, on our forum, for noticing.

Halo – played by masters.
Wow. Sir Dan points out a link to a vid (streaming WMV format) of the final round of Halo50K, TDT vs DM, CTF on Battle Creek. It’s 5:16 long, and shows the entire match (3 captures). Video is hosted by Video CD Productions, and shows some truly impressive teamwork… check it out.

The Preview Parade Continues
Two new Halo PC previews: Warcry, put up Tuesday, and The Armchair Empire, put up Wednesday. The Warcry preview is a bit strange; it focuses entirely on the campaign mode, and was written by someone who never even bothered to read old Xbox summaries. (The screenshots are of such degraded quality that we’re not even…

Action Figures… OFFICIALLY out
They’ve been out for a little while now… but Joyride issued a press release today about the Halo Action Figures; check out the details at Bungie.net.

Gearbox Update
For the first time in almost a week, Gearbox has updated its top Exclusive Screenshot – this one shows a lot of firepower being unleashed on a few Blue guys by a pair of Reds… (And while your ON the Projects page, note that the remaining work items for Halo PC (things that must be…

And then there were pictures
Once again, a week goes by before the art queues get cleared. (They’re STILL not cleared – but they’re better.) We’ve got 11 desktop pics for you today, including two Marathon-related ones. Strange how things run in packs… check the Wallpaper section.

Stories, stories, and more stories
It blows me away how often the Fan Fiction updates include story totals that are multiples of seven. It’s as though someone’s PLANNING it… Chapter Two: Rise of the Phoenix, by Blue Jaguar Omega Centauri, by James Kinsella The Laurel, by James Kinsella Homeworlds IV, by Mainevent Survival, Prologue, by Agent Shade Defection: Part 2,…

Oooh… Safari

UNSC.net runs out of bandwidth
UNSC.net has run into bandwidth problems – they can’t host any more movies until they find a sponsor. Anyone interested in helping should contact admin@unsc.net. (They hope to offer hosting, as well, to anyone willing to sponsor them.)

Games Domain looks over Halo PC
Games Domain has put up a Halo PC Preview; not a lot new (well, they’re apparently MUCH better with a sniper rifle than I am), but 10 additional screens (added to the Screenshots database, as well). Thanks to ash, who noticed it at Blue’s News.

343 Candles
The Hushed Casket had a one-year birthday… and they celebrated with a lan party and a cake. Pretty cool cake, too! Check out the pics! (Then chime into the forum thread.)

Get your sunglasses, baby.
Forum regular Dogsounds did some reskinning of the Master Chief – it’s unlikely that his work would be approved by the UNSC, but we liked it enough that we added a page to our Miscellaneous section. Check it out.

Another Flash-animated logo
Bluestone, of 343 Guilty Spark, submitted a new Flash-animated Halo logo. We’ve linked it on our Logos page.
