Who do YOU want to hear from?
Matt Soell put a note up at the Tru7h and Reconciliation site to let everyone know that the Robert McLees interview is still going – it hasn’t been forgotten. Should be posted sometime next week… at which point they’ll be taking questions for ANOTHER Bungie employee. If you have a special Bungie dude or dudette…

Hey! You can ride it!
Whoa. Metafire managed to get into the second Pelican on Assault on the Control Room (the one that flies over the bridge) – and he took some pics. Oops – guess Bungie should have renumbered one of those…

More vehicle collecting
Aaron Suhr stops by our forum to point out that he’s upped his ‘ultimate vehicle collection’ by several – he’s added another 7 shades, and one more ghost (albeit a broken one). There’s a new movie which shows off the collection better. The time this guy has… we’ve updated his Gameplay Tricks page with the…

Assault first bridge trick, filmed
Doum and Pat, a pair of Halo fanatics from Quebec, have made a series of movies to show how to get down to the bottom off the first bridge of Assault on the Control Room – it requires some tricky timing in coop mode. The films were encoded with DivX 4 – I found that…

Easier-to-find tricks
The Gameplay Tricks are pouring in… and the collection was getting pretty hard to navigate. We’ve made it a bit neater, hopefully easier to find what you’re looking for… and we’ve added three new collections. (All are mirrors of the creators’ collections elsewhere… but we’re hoping this becomes the central repository for this sort of…

New site section in Links
With the huge influx of new tricks footage and pictures comes a new breed of website – the Gameplay Tricks and Tips collections. Currently, there are two that we know of (well, three, but one’s not ready for prime time yet) – if you know of more, we’d love to hear about it! In the…

When gamers get bored
Whoa! Aaron Suhr has put together the ‘ultimate vehicle collection’… check out ‘Master Chief’s Quality Used War Machines’. 12 Ghosts, 2 Banshees, 1 Wraith, a Warthog, and a Scorpion… plus 13 Shades.

Stephen King meets Iain M. Banks
Vector40 bursts back on the Fan Fiction scene, with a different sort of story. ‘What Drives Us’ is a tale of love and betrayal, courage and vengeance. It’s pretty good. Read it in our Fan Fiction section.

Story page comes back to life
Woohoo! mmemesis goes on a posting spree at the Halo Story page; more than enough to chew on, for now! In addition, Ape Man is back – seems he (or more precisely, his internet connection) was the victim of an overzealous backhoe operator… but he’s back up and running now, so we should see some…

Reviews page cleaned up
Dunno about the rest of you, but for me, the Reviews page was beginning to get unwieldy; too many entries to load smoothly. Accordingly, it’s been redesigned; it now shows 20 reviews at a time, and you can choose to see only the one you’re interested in. Now back to the Gameplay pages…

Halo movie – ain’t happenin’
To all those people sending in reports of the Halo movie rumored on this Dutch site (among other places) – please, no more. It just ain’t true. Matt Soell, on our forum, succinctly denies that a movie is being discussed. (As I told a few of you via email, I was planning on ignoring this……

The tricks keep coming
Two more submissions for the Gameplay Tricks page – Cal drops off a passel of pics showing the tippety-top of Damnation… and Phear X shows you how to get on top of the base beacon pole (which stands on top of the base) on Sidewinder. What folks won’t try…

Story page still alive
Apologies to all who’ve been writing to the Halo Story page – the crew seems to have run into time issues. Never fear, though, things will be back on track soon! mnemesis added another tidbit last night from Alan Wu – that Marathon link just won’t die, and now there are other options for the…

Dueling Cartographers! Two different collections have been added to the Gameplay Tricks section – Team 7HR33 submits a movie showing a beautiful dismount from the top of Silent Cartographer… and Randy Glass gives us a cookbook movie that will have you driving the heights in no time.
