Doug Radcliffe, author of Sybex’s Official Strategy Guide for halo PC, stopped by our forum with some pretty cool info about what’s included. Look for this guide in the next couple of weeks in a store near you!

Xbox Ottawa has put out FTC8, a sequel to FTC5. There’s a low-res version up on their website now, and for a $5 donation, you can become a lifetime member, which gives you access to hi-res versions of their films. For the public, there are links to a DivX-encoded AVI version (both direct download and…

Interesting. Apparently, there was a video shown at X03 in France this week that was a bit more than the E3 demo – but there aren’t any final plans for releasing it. (That’s different from there being NO plans to release it. 😉 ) Thanks to Neo Alucard X for pointing out the link.

[NBA]J0rd4n (man, whatever happened to letters?) stopped by our forum to point out a movie he and his friend, byt3-ra1d, made. It shows some pretty amazing timing; a single-player escape from Blood Gulch in a warthog, aided by a perfectly placed grenade toss. The vid is only 1.6 mb, but has been compressed with XVID.…

Iceman1330 looks at weapons modifications in a hacked Xbox in today’s Guest One One Se7en. (This was posted on our forum some time ago; it’s just now coming into the release rotation here.)

SilverBrin**** has submitted another impressive piece of Fan music; this one’s called ‘Mombasa’, and it weighs in at a hefty 7.4 mb. (It’s just over 4 minutes long.) Here’s what SB has to say about it:      Ever since seeing the Halo 2 demo played at E3 and watching videos of it, I have been taken with…

Last May, Bungie held a massive Fanfest during E3, in Los Angeles… and Mr Smiley was there with a video camera to capture all the fun. Back in late June, we mentioned part 0 – the intro. Well, there were a few snags in production – but things are back on track, and now parts…

Now they’re just messing with your head.

Goodness. mnemesis updates the Halo Story page for the first time in over a month… and I manage to misinterpret his note informing me of this. (I thought it was just a ‘here I go, I’m gonna start updating again’ note. DOH.) Anyway, go visit the Story page. Forerunner origins, Covenant history, xenobiology, weapons theories……

Hehe – once again, Stuntmutt points out the danger of overestimating your weapon in today’s One One Se7en. Remember, folks… use the right tool for the job.

For those interested in the CPL Winter Event, registration opens next week – Tuesday, September 23 (one week before the game hits the shelves). Interest is high, and there’s a 32 team maximum… so you should think seriously about getting in gear. (CPL says, in the same thread, that there is no risk to signing…

A few days ago, Ninja On Fire posted a picture that had shown up on the Halo PC betanews list (a private newsgroup devoted to the PC beta). It (ostensibly) showed someone being arrested by a Plano police officer for the theft of the gold master of Halo PC. There was quite a bit of…

botman, a programmer over at Gearbox, dropped some pretty cool info in our forum this morning:I know that we plan to have the Halo PC editing tools download package available on the day the game is released (Sept 30), so you should be able to buy the game, download the kit and start creating new…

Whoa. op_ivy seems to have turned up the first new Halo 2 screen from X03, in France. (This is a big annual trade show.) Gorgeous! (Ross Mills found a larger version at Worthplaying.com… and BOLL found this one (4.8 mb – careful). Whoa. More later.

Picture of the day over at Gearbox is a shot of the Halo team. No names – but at least you’ve got faces! (The guy from the parking lot, in handcuffs, is not among them.)

The third Guest One One Se7en from Germain Couët – hehe, it made me laugh, anyway.

Whoa. Let Fan Fiction go for a couple of days, and you’ve got a nightmare on your hands. 25 new stories: Human Elite Ch 2, by Tinmad! Forgotten times (Halo 2: Chapter 11), by Shadowrunner Homeworlds VIII, by Mainevent The Covenant, by Alpha Lance Chimera, by Somebody323445 A Soul of Steel: Part 2, by The…

Hehe – you can put him in a starship, and give him control of the fate of the human race… but he’s still a burger flipper at heart. xbill (gone for oh so many months) comes back with some texture-injected PoA shots.

Jonah points out that this page for the Las Vegas Comic-Con, happening at the end of October, suggests that Bungie will be on hand with more Halo 2 info. If we find out more about this, we’ll let you know.
