  • A Matter of Perspective.

    Eep, almost forgot. It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another One One Se7en. Stuntmutt looks at another legitimate strategy in today’s entry.

  • Bigger than it looks

    Stephen Loftus found some new information about the scale of Covenant Assault Carriers, and has therefore redone his UNSC/Covenant Ship Scale Chart. Those things are MONSTERS!

  • This is what VoD is for.

    Several members of 2old2play showed up at MLG Chicago last week – and Joel “doodirock” Albert wrote up their experience for the website. It was a pretty doomed attempt right from the start… but they made the best of it. Thanks to doodi and DSmooth for the heads-up.

  • Halo Zero, Revisited

    I was gonna let this one go… but everyone and their brother is writing about it, so I guess I need to say something. A couple of days ago we mentioned that Halo Zero, a fan-made sidescroller, was #10 on Gamespot’s most popular game list. Yesterday, it shot to number 1 – and it’s still…

  • Gunslingers all.

    Tied The Leader is back, with a couple of extensive posts – and more, farther down. The most recent stuff: XerxdeeJ went to Chicago (writeup is still coming) , the TTL Gunslingers went looking for a fight on the 2old2play forums… and wrote up the results, and another Gunslinger wrote up a LAN event, complete…

  • Still Got It

    PHW is mostly a Half-Life 2 related comic site… but the Weekday Strip involves characters from a number of games, and the most recent strip involves your friendly neighborhood Master Chief. Thanks, Vapor.

  • Team Schooly D – For The Win

    Sometime back in the Jurassic Period, Schooly D asked Pinkuh (who is part of his Halo 2 clan, Team Schooly D) if she’d make a poster for the clan. She said sure… not having any idea how much trouble it would cause her. It got finished last night, though, and she posted it on our…

  • Counting Angels on Pinheads

    Now THIS is dedication. Nogard watched the Limited Edition DVD, and noticed that Joe Staten flips through a 160-page Halo 2 script on camera. He went to the trouble of transcribing as much as he could see – and posted it online. (It’s an angelfire site, so even though it’s a tiny page, it might…

  • It ain’t all filmmaking

    Scifibrain.com interviewed Nathan Fillion, who played Captain Mal Reynolds in Firefly – turns out the guy’s a Halo 2 fanatic. The interview eventually gets around to his filmmaking stuff… but the first chunk is ALL about Halo. Pretty funny! Thanks, Cornballer.

  • The Twelve Night Siege

    Jillybean has been creating Christmas stories for the past couple of years – and this year, she went a step further. She recruited some pretty talented artists from the Halo community to illustrate her holiday tale… and man, what a job they all did! The story is heartwarming, but when you add artwork from Theo…

  • Hang ’em High… FEAR it.

    spookie1337 has begun importing Hang ’em High into the F.E.A.R. engine – you can see a bunch of screenshots in this thread on the fearmaps.com forum. He pointed the project out on our forum here.

  • Ohio Tourney in January

    zerosignal wanted people to know about a double elimination Halo tourney that will take place at the Bottom Line Bar and Grille in Austintown, OH on January 28th – no word on entry fees, prizes, or directions. If you’re interested, I guess you should email him. Update: Looks like another one was announced on our…

  • The Omen

    Merecatfish pointed out that he’s got a new HaloCE map available for download – screenshots can be seen in this Gearbox forum thread, and the map itself can be snagged from HaloMaps. Give it a look!

  • Duke’s Da Man.

    Over at High Impact Halo, you can find a video tribute to the founder of that site, Ducain, put together by a collection of users and staff. The video’s huge – 130 mb or so – and consists mostly of folks letting Ducain know why they’re grateful to him for his contributions to the community.…

  • Definitely Addiction.

    Joystiq has a ‘Five reasons why Halo 2 is #1’ list – a solid list, I think. Go see if you agree! Thanks, Dt7.

  • Quit While You’re Ahead

    The Squadron, Episode 13, has been released for the public – Durge continues to be bested by the humans, but the tides might be turning. You can grab the WMP9 version from Broken Console’s site (11.2 mb, 4:55) or the QuickTime version from us (11.3 mb).

  • Mash.

    So there are some button combinations that can give you a leg up on the competition in Halo 2 multiplayer… but what happens when you get ’em wrong? Stuntmutt speculates in today’s One One Se7en.

  • Harrison Ford and Regurgitation

    Jillybean has taken a whack at the overgrown forest that is the Halo Story Page mailbag – you’ll find her latest prunings on the Story Page.

  • H20 Updated

    LunarShadow points out that the H2O Stats Reader has a new version out (1.2.0) – a bunch of new features are available (check the changelog for details). Looks nice!

  • Halo Zero – it’s THAT popular.

    Wow, this is rather… strange, if you ask me. If you visit the front page of Gamespot, in the bottom left corner, you’ll find a list of the Most Popular Games, presumably based on traffic to various Gamespot pages. Number 10 on the overall list is Halo Zero, a fan-made sidescroller we mentioned last week.…
