This came in a couple of weeks ago – but like many other things, got buried. Apparently, the Ottawa Citizen ran a story (164K) on Halo 2, and how people are frustrated about the wait for it, back in mid-January. (The submission came from Thumper on February 17, and the wording suggested that it came…

This came in Monday night, but got buried – sorry about that. xitWOUND117 points out some shots that his group, Crazed Gnome Productions, have put together – mostly skinned vehicles. There’s a Red banshee, a decaled tank, a CGP orange LAAG warthog, a CGP black Rocket warthog, and a lightning’d ghost. Check it out! Update:…

dolbex has a fun writeup of a 16-team, 8-man-per-team tourney he went to last weekend, over at Been Mawed. Good time, bad money. Great pics. Go read!

Just a reminder – the Gamespy.com Title Fight between Halo and Goldeneye 007 begins today, at noon (PST). Don’t forget to swing by and cast your vote!

Wow. It’s FAR from empty, but the Miscellaneous Art queue just dropped by 15 items… because I just posted that many. There’s some good stuff, some bad stuff, and some weird stuff. Look it ALL over. For folks who have submitted comics in the past month or so – PLEASE be patient; we’ve gotten so…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from MasterTJ of Dark Halo… and brings a whole new take on the One One Se7en graphics. One might even say ‘different’. I’m reminded of Jules Pfeiffer.

Only 19 new entries in the Fan Fiction section today… you guys are slipping. Mad Rush, by Nick Kang Fall of the covenant, by Jetboogieman The Iron Hands of the Prophets (Part 1), by MadJackal Halo:The Fate of Earth, Prologue, by MetalGhost Before the Fall: Part One: Requiem, by Jagged Theta Omicron part 1: The…

Today’s Calvin and Halo touches on a long-standing gripe I’ve got – nobody lets MY karma move the pointer. Bah.

I suppose I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that there’s an interview of me up at Battleground: Halo. This sort of thing really should be posted by some other HBO staffer… but that would require that another staffer actually post. Hmm.

Stefander has posted some early screenshots (and a small movie) of a new map he’s working – a conversion of 343 GS to multiplayer. Swing by Halomods.com and check it out!

Because, I guess, she wasn’t content with wowing the crowds with her awesome Halo art yesterday, Tina Leyk has sent along a NEW piece this morning; you’ll find it on the bottom of the fan art section of her Art page here. It’s called Gold Elite Bridgebattle… and it’s BEAUTIFUL. One day in the not-too-distant…

EmptyShadows found a new piece of Halo-related fan art – The Master Chief vs Shadow. hehe… nice.

Whoa. SanchezTheLlama has posted the weekly Project Halo update… and it’s a doozy. Very cool shots of the new map! Check it out.

You may or may not have noticed that HBO is struggling a bit right now. Don’t worry – it’s not that the servers are dying again – well, they are, but it’s not because of a failure, it’s overload. BOLL’s Warthog Jump flash animation got picked up by Ars Technica this morning – and by…

One One Se7en starts another series – though I doubt the timing is accurate. Hold on tight, boys and girls… this one’s gonna get ugly.

Keyes and his insecurities continue to be the focus of Halo: Resolution – check it out. Incidentally, Fuzzy asked that a public statement be made about Resolution sprites; they’re not for distribution. He doesn’t mean any offense by it, but he’d rather people stopped asking him for them, because he’s not planning on distributing them.…

We got mail this morning from Strato99, pointing out a bunch of purported Halo 2 screens. (The originals were housed on some student webspace in Sweden, but Strato said he found them in a forum somewhere.) These have been confirmed to be FAKES – please, if you see them around the web, don’t perpetuate the…

Greg Irvine put together a spreadsheet to keep track of player stats for his local LAN group. He’s now made it available to the community as a whole. You can grab it from our Miscellaneous section. (Read the page for instructions about use.)
