rendar noticed that the Bungie Store seems to be selling the new, improved Special Edition Halo Soundtrack with the Halo 2 DVD. The link on Sumthing Else’s page STILL points to the original soundtrack at Amazon… so if you want this version, visit the store!

Some interesting stuff over at HaloMods yesterday… dmauro and Aztec have managed to put AI into multiplayer. Stefander made a film. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes. (There’s also a new ‘Pillar of Autumn detonation’ projectile, for those who want REALLY big explosions…) Lots of people sent word of this last night, but…

Another Friday, another Halo Babies comic – and what a great use for the Active Camo! (There are also some Halo Babies avatars for use on forums that allow them – check out the Cool Crap section!)

Today’s One One Se7en looks at careless Multiplay, and what would be a pretty cool addition to the status reports…

Finchmeister points out that the Red vs Blue promo for Spike TV is now visible on the Spike TV website. If you haven’t seen it… grab it now. (Follow the enormous VGA link on the main page, then the ‘Vegas, baby, Vegas” link on the subsequent popup.)

27 stories posted in the Fan Fiction section in the last 2 days. (A goodly number this time around are poems.) A Rough Beginning Part 2, by Covie Armada The Battle for Phi Delta: Chapter 5, by witelancer The Spear of Tyr: Chapter 2, by Gre’Thor117 Summit of Mout Denumbran Prt. 1, by Delta Force…

Gotta watch those tires… check Halo: Resolution today.

Thanks to David Tinkler, President of Two Degrees, for providing links for a new peer-based protocol for serving large Halo-related files. You’ll find information (and mirror links) in this protocol on both the Inside Halo 2 documentary mirror page posted recently, and the large Halo E3 Demo trailer mirror page. Client is currently Windows-only… but…

Cysco (Marc Tardif, Halo PC Producer for Gearbox) posted a pretty extensive overview of the 1.03 patch, and stated it would likely be released next Monday, the 8th. Go visit the Gearbox forums for all the details!

Our very own Count Zero is the subject of the latest Spotlight over at the Junkyard. Ever wonder about the guy who answers the email you send to halo@bungie.org? Wonder no more – go read.

Red vs Blue has created a new promo for the SpikeTV Video Game Awards. If you’re a sponsor, it’s available now for download on their forum. (If you’re not, it’ll be out for the masses sometime later.) It’s great. Thanks to P_40E for the heads-up.

Nukedude pointed out that he has hosted all 5 of KORHAL’s movies, in one place. If you’re interested in what KORHAL’s been up to, here’s a decent place to start. (If you don’t know who KORHAL is, you can just watch the movies; it doesn’t really matter.)

Ferret pointed out a video (shakeycam) from AGP3 – StK vs TDT. 35 mb, WMP8 format. You’ll have to register on Spartanzclan’s site (free) to download. Dunno… lotta camping going on, you ask me.

A Guest One One Se7en, written by… One One Se7en? Hmm..

The Spike TV Video Game Awards were given out last night in Las Vegas, and though they won’t air on Spike TV before tomorrow night, GamerFeed has announced the winners. Halo 2 was up for ‘Most Anticipated Game’ – it won. Halo PC was up for ‘Best PC Game’ – it won. (It was also…

Lion got around to writing up his experience at AGP3 last week. Check it out here.

Not mine, actually – Morningstar’s. (The tribute, that is. I wasn’t – oh, never mind.) The MorningStar decided there was a missing feature here at HBO – a way to read stories written by forum jester Skavenger, without having to search through the archives. (Skavenger has never opted to submit his works to our Fan…

progamerz stopped by our forum to point out three new sites at HaloCity, all modding-related; check out SomeRhino’s Domain (nice shots of an in-progress map), Skin Deep (shots of racing stripe skins for hogs, among other things), and Digital Adrenaline (no real info yet, just a Flash intro).

In the ‘too much time on their hands’ category, Hikaru-119 takes home the golden penguin for his Munitions count on all campaign levels of Halo. Gah.

A monster collection of Miscellaneous Artwork for you today (17 pieces), due to the fact that the last update was about 2 weeks ago. Everything from misplaced comics, to pencil sketches, to animated mini-movies… a real grab-bag. Go check it out.
