A couple of days ago, NzadaH posted a quick capture of a flag-capturing trick to our forum. I didn’t look closely enough, and thought it was another instance of MaverickJ’s warthog gunner trick (where the gunner is popped out by spinning the gun to face the back of the hog and pressing X)… but it…

Over the last couple of years, we’ve gotten a few emails about the medals on Keyes’ uniform. Folks have recognized the Purple Heart, the Medal of Honor, and the Air Force Cross. Today, Brannon Boren laid out ALL of them on our forum – so now you know.

Gamespot has posted a list of their choices for the top 10 cooperative games of all time. (They’re not ranked among the top 10 – “They’re all equal in our eyes, you might say.”) Halo makes the list. Nice! Thanks to DT for the heads-up.

The LAN party taking place in the latter half of the day during the Pillar of Art Gallery showing has filled up!I’m sorry if you were hedging on whether or not to sign up for the party, as you have missed out on what is looking to be a really good time, but at least…

Halo Orbit is organizing an online (via XBC) Halo tournament; check this forum thread or this news article. They suggest you come from a country near Germany, due to internet limitations… but other than that, there aren’t any restrictions.

There are a significant number of shots of a Halo-related skin in use in Tribes over at the Tribes Battle Room Screenshots Collection; there’s no easy way to point them all out, you’ll need to go through his collection for yourself. As far as I can tell, these were taken using existing skins (there are…

Visitors to the E3 fanfest this year got their hands on a bunch of cool Bungie stickers. For the first time, Bungie is actually SELLING them at the Bungie Store now; there are five, ranging from a standard Bungie logo to the uber-cool Carnage Zone sticker. (You can even get your hands on the Webmaster…

As a number of people have pointed out, the Truth and Reconciliation site has been updated with Part 2 of the E3 demo behind-the-scenes series, as well as additional storyboards from the demo itself.

Gen Con Indy is taking place about a month from now, and those of you that want a taste of Halo PC have a huge incentive to attend! One of the events listed is a HUGE LAN where many different games will be represented, and Halo PC is going to make an appearance! Not just…

It’s been 2 days since I last posted a Fan Fiction update – and after rejecting a couple of entries, there are still 16 pieces for you: Operation Sunlight Part 1: Aftermath, by Gruntkiller Rebirth – Shadow’s Chapter 5 – Impossible Infiltration, by Knightmare Wolf, Archangel’s Blade, Spartan 451, Shadow Shadow Spartans, Chapter 1: Combat…

If you could part with a measly $5, you’d be watching Red vs Blue Episode 11 right now. And jumping out of your chair with fright. Or at least laughter. (Starts slow, but finishes with a bang.) If you can’t part with $5, you’ll have to wait until Sunday to get this.

Draconfrost has put up a small page containing all the info he could find about Halo 2. He’d like you all to know about it.

Three weeks ago, we mentioned a Halo quiz being put together by the Sector 7 website. Wolfy writes to say that they’re still in need of some VERY hard multiple-choice questions. (See the last news post for details on the format they need.) Help ’em out!

emildux writes to say that he’s decided to host a league for Halo PC, once it’s released. He’s guaranteeing $25,000 in cash prizes in the first year – it’s a pretty extensive setup. If you’re interested, check out the CobaltNova website for details – this one looks to be big!

And here’s a comic from a site that IS work-safe, for the most part – Friday’s installment of One One Se7en. Hehe – now that I think about it, even THIS one is sex-related. Dang.

Zypper points out a Halo-related comic at Anime Moments in History – and warns that the rest of the site is definitely not safe for work. (Um… yeah.)

DOH! We’re short on bandwidth, and I STILL miss notes alleviating the problem. 🙁 That Weasel (who’d love it if you visited his 5-year-old site ThatWeasel.com) wrote to say that two recent movies have been mirrored:The Sidewinder Saga (400×300, QuickTime5, 5.9 MB)Too Many Vehicles ( 17 mb, zipped, QuickTime)If you’ve missed these, go over and…

MaverickJ has posted a followup video (in first-person view) to his recent CTF2 vid (the new one is WMP9-only at the moment), as well as a text-based FAQ explaining all the tricks in that first one. You’ll need to be registered at the Project Spartan forums to see it. Nice tricks – I don’t think…

SleekShadow has tossed a flag 300 meters in Blood Gulch – and caught it on tape. (Apparently, there’s an explanation coming soon.) Visit his site for details and movies.

Hehe – there’s a Help Wanted notice up over at Bungie.net; they want someone who can help build the next iteration of Bungie.net. Ironically, the link to the Jobs page doesn’t work… because the Web Developer description isn’t up yet. Guess they need a web developer to post it, so that… hmm. Anyway, if you’re…
