    DT and MR-T write to point out the first in an upcoming comic series titled ‘Office Chief’, over at Battlefield Halo.

  • Unresolved Issues With Father Figures

    Unresolved Issues With Father Figures Red vs Blue Episode 72 has been posted for sponsors – ‘Getting Debriefed’ has Simmons trying to get back into Red Base, Tucker and Caboose (and Andy) returning to Blue Base, and Grif doing his best to go home. Should be up for freeloaders sometime today or tomorrow, I’d guess.…

  • Havoc

    A few weeks ago, we posted a trailer for a new movie from CROSSFIRE – and this morning, we’re finally able to bring you the final product. Havoc is chilling, moody, and spectacularly filmed, with some amazing special effects. It pulled in what might be the highest rating ever from the MPRRS – so you…

  • The Utfoo Mirror Project

    Frogblast was one of the premiere tricksters in the Halo scene – and when Halo 2 came out, he was all over it. Within 3 days of the game being released, he’d posted almost 250 mb worth of videos of exploration – and for months, Utfoo was the place to go for Froggie Goodness. Then…

  • Legendary Episode 1

    A few days ago, blackouTT posted a note on our forum about the first episode of Legendary, a new movie he’d made. (The Freeloader fixed his HTML for easier reading.) He submitted this ep to the MPRRS – and they liked it, so we’re hosting it. You can grab the WMP9 version (100mb) or a…

  • Another DeviantART Halo lover…

  • Another Fancy Home for MC

    A couple of days ago, X3n0 posted yet another one of his cool display cases – this one for the Active Camo MC. I forgot to point it out… but go look!

  • No News is No News

    I wasn’t going to post this, because… well, because it was sort of anti-news, but we’re getting enough mail that I guess we should. Because of the Bungie Winter Pentathlon (which was going on for most of the end of this week, it seems), there was no Weekly Halo Update. They’ll have pictures for you…

  • Fight Night

    The submission period for the Killer Grunts contest has ended – and the voting period has begun! Voting will be open to the public until Tuesday (time is fuzzy at this point) – go check out the entries (there are 116 of them!), pick your five favorites, and may the best box win!

  • Splitters.

    Folks have wondered recently if Halo is moving aside for other online games… Stuntmutt’s take on it all can be found in today’s One One Se7en.

  • Interview with an artist at 2old2play

    BATMANKM, a member of 2old2play, was one of the artists that entered in the Seventh Column Art Competition earlier this month; he recived an Honorable Mention in the writeup, but his work was not shown. Fellow clanmember DanLeCrinque talked to him about the work – you can read the interview (and check out the gorgeous…

  • It’s Friday, so it must be Fanfic

    21 new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week. Folks have been busy… go read!

  • MLG Noob Guide, Part III

    Preston Heckel noticed that the next installment of MLG’s Newcomer’s Guide to Halo 2 has been posted at MLGPro.com – this one focuses on Teamwork. There are great tips in there; some stuff is common sense, other stuff is not, ALL of it is stuff you should be thinking about when playing team games. Positioning,…

  • Good Against The Living?

    XerxdeeJ speculates about what makes a great game great in his latest Tied the Leader blog post. Nice read.

    A new update over at the Halo Story Page – sweeping speculation, everything from Azimov to wormholes. Check it out! (And thanks, Finn.)

  • Hunt THIS.

    Wow. Thanks to mr_mcmurder, who found this bad boy, and this one, over at Craig Mullins’ website (posted 3 days ago – geez, you guys are slow). I’ve sent off a request to add them to his Halo gallery here, but in the meantime, you should browse around his site… because, well, he rocks.

  • Oh. My. Word.

    This is just SO friggin’ wrong. I… words just can’t DESCRIBE how wrong this is. And then he had the temerity to be FIRST? Bah. Update: Mintz points out that there’s a PSP version up at Halo Portable, too.

  • TSL – The Marty O’Donnell Interview, Part 1

    This Spartan Life has posted a new module – it’s Part 1 of an interview with Marty O’Donnell, set against a backdrop of Containment’s outer reaches. Great stuff – go watch! (QuickTime is up now, WMP9 coming soon.)

(If you’re curious about what you’d be getting into, you can find some great representative screenshots on this briefing page.)
