  • First Strike – via Halo PC

    Running Riot has started a website devoted to a mod for Halo PC based on the novel First Strike. He’s looking for lots of enthusiastic people to help out; visit the site, check out the project details, and see if you fit into the ‘How Can I Help?’ page! (There’s also a forum thread on…

  • HPC update info – from the source

    A few days ago, Randy Pitchford posted a note on the Gearbox forums, saying that he’d answer as many questions as possible before the new year. Read the whole thread for questions, or start with Randy’s first answer. Lots and lots and LOTS of good info in there. Thanks to progamerz for the heads-up.

  • Longest, revisited

    Back in July, we posted a preview for a Counter-Strike version of Longest. Its creator, Dylan Velasquez, wrote again so that we could give this map another home. You can grab a copy right here (252k, zipped, with the preview). Enjoy!

  • The online multiplayer fps Shangri-La

    Some of you might remember kapowaz, who once frequented our forums. He hasn’t been around much recently, but a couple of days ago, he wrote a very eloquent paean to the multiplayer portion of Halo PC – go take a look. (If you’re at all interested in good web design, check out the rest of…

  • It’s after New Year’s, but…

    Biomonky dropped off a photo of his Halloween (Haloween) Grunt hat and plasma pistol, made with acrylic paint, a cardboard box, newspaper, tape, and glue. Pretty nice!

  • Scavenger Hunt

    Back. Sort of. Man… don’t go to Disneyworld if you’re not in top shape… at least not if you’re trying to see the whole place in 4 days with 3 kids. Anyway, I’m gonna be spending the next few days figuring out what got missed because people mailed stuff to me, personally, instead of to…

  • I AM the I in AI… er, not.

    And another comic gets an update, this time it’s Halo Babies. Go take a look, and, if you’re not a member, sign up so you can check out Gruntsbane’s cool new wallpaper. Apologies to mrsmiley, who sent in this info… a while ago. See, there’s a reason why Louis does this stuff. 😉

  • Billions and billions… of words…

    I’ve finally managed to dig myself out from under the crushing weight of the fan fiction. Safe until another day… Relic, Part 1, by Inept Zombie All For Nothing., by Liam Quigley The Exchange – Part 3 – Espesa, by Dispraiser Witness of Death, by Sergeant B Aurora Squadron-Part 2, by RogueFox End of the…

  • Flash Halo and a new E419

    IXIGhandiIXI writes in to mention that 343GS.com has a new episode of EchoFourNineteen up in their downloads section. While you’re there, you might also want to check out the projects section, and the newly updated Halo flash game they’ve been working on. Nice!

    Today’s guest One One Se7en looks at the exciting, thrilling, yet ultimately frustrating world of online Halo… over a modem.Update: Whoa! I screwed something up back there! You’ll notice that the previous guest strip peeks out on the right, and the links are messed up at the bottom. Ah, well, Louis can fix it if……

  • The Other Halo Resolution

    Oops. I flaked yesterday, when this One One Se7en was supposed to run, but it still makes enough sense. It’s corn after all. How difficult is corn? 😉

  • No Wonder They Need Help

    What better way to start off the new year than with Halo: Resolution. They might need more than just help.

  • It finally happened.

    As you probably know, I answer most of the email sent to this site. And I’ve done this for the past 3 years. Well… I snapped. So we have a new section here. It’ll be updated every so often. Welcome to my world.

  • Flashbacks, indeed.

    Out of town… offline, for most of the time… seriously enjoying my New Year’s vacation… but STILL with time for a quick Calvin and Halo update. Thanks, Warbow! (And thanks, publicly, to the whole HBO crew, for filling in!) Online time costs cash per minute here, so this is it for me for a couple…

  • Happy New Year – Be with your loved ones!

    The year is winding down, and for some of you it’s already 2004. For me it’s not, so I’d like to take the opportunity to wish all of you a most joyous new year. For some reason I’ve been especially nostalgic of late (I blame Wu’s work on library.bungie.org which makes it easier to go…

    Rabid Bungie.Net updater SketchFactor has put out the call for Halo fans to make their preferences known at the MTV Ultimate Video Game Countdown, so check out Sketch’s article, then go vote! And vote again! And again! And again!

  • Maximize your Online Game

    Not living up to your full carnage potential? Never fear, Bungie is here! SketchFactor checks in over on Bungie.Net with Sketch’s Halo Mac/PC Players Companion Volume 1. There’s a lot of good info in there, people, so give it a good read!

  • We wants it!

    Ack! Bungie Comics has been updated with a new strip! Also, check out the small article with a few tidbits of info about Frankie (who wrote the strip), and elusive artist Zoë. Next week? Hmmm…

  • Auld AIquaintance

    As we wrap up 2003, the MC is desperately trying to find a New Year’s date in today’s One One Se7en. What an opportunist…

  • So THAT’S How You Get In

    Uh oh, looks like the Elites are recruiting in today’s Halo: Resolution.
