Yrro writes to say that Halo Center has put up the teaser, as well… the mirror list grows some more. You can get the file here. Pax.

Stryker sends word that Halo HQ, an early Halo site that closed a while back, is up and running in its new digs at haloplayers.net. As he says, Halo HQ is dedicated to the Halo team community, allowing Halo fans an instant link to many Halo teams. Stop by and sign up today! Pax.

Matt Martinez writes to let us know that for those of you on a slower connection, there’s now an alternative to the multi-meg movies for getting your Halo fix. He’s snapped 35 screenshots from the trailer for you to drool over. Go check ’em out!

Oops, we missed this… thanks to R.net for noticing. The Daily Radar Teaser page specifies that it’s PC Gamer that will have the E3 Trailer on its cover CD, ending speculation about which gaming mag would host the US version.

Luxor writes to tell us that Halo Vault can be added to the fast-growing list of mirrors for the teaser. In his words, “awesome bandwidth (for now).” 😉

SiliconDream =PN= points out on the R.net forum that one of the scenes in the teaser was NOT in the E3 trailer… so we can probably look forward to footage that even those at E3 didn’t see. Thanks, Sili!

More mirrors for the Hi-res version of the E3 Trailer Teaser: Rampancy.net reports that they have it on their hotline site, under Uploads ->Halo->halo_e3_preview_hires[1].mpg, and Battleground: Halo reports that they’ll be putting a copy up as soon as they get it downloaded.

Battleground: Halo is reporting that Doug Zartman answered Planet X-Box about the Microsoft/Bungie rumors. Visit BGH to read the quote for yourself.

Clarification: Seems what Daily Radar and 3D Action Gamers are distributing is a teaser for the full trailer, not the Trailer itself. Still pretty awesome, though… Absolutely worth the download.

Halo Trailer Available: Jeremy Roush sends word that Daily Radar has put up the E3 Trailer. It’s quite small, compared to what we were told… there’s a 26 meg version and a 13 meg version. Go grab it now! And we just received word that 3D Action Gamers has put up a mirror for it,…

You want fat rumors, go to fatbabies.com. Seems the MS buyout rumor has made it out of the Bungie fansite community. (As fatbabies says, “Bungie has not commented on the rumor.”) Thanks to Darcy Brockbank for the heads-up.

The Halo SETI Marinesare 50 units behind HardwareCentral in the Battle of the Teams. A big push and we can take them. The team lost a marine today ReddyStupidity[Moof!][G3] (290 units). If you find him report him to your nearest Halo fire base. Jjaro tech and Nick-Danger take top honors. Full details on the 24…

More submissions from fire phoenix… this time, it’s a pair of nice desktops for our Wallpaper page. These were originally created for Halo Center… but he can’t find them there. Tasty!

Thanks to Banzif, who points out on our forum that the personal stats pages on the SETI@Home server have been vastly improved. You can now see your last 10 workunits submitted (including spikes and gaussians found). Very cool! Maybe this will energize those team members who haven’t been submitting units? Pax.

Fire Phoenix sends along another logo for us… pretty spiffy, I’d say! Check it out on our Logos page.

You knew the world loves ’em, but it never hurts to hear it again. Massa, of Halo Network, sends along word that the July issue of GameStar magazine (in Germany) contains a small feature, in which 50 top developers were asked “What game are you looking forward to?” Halo placed third, with 6 votes… beaten…

$erial-ki!!A has submitted the first three chapters of what looks to be a very long work of fan fiction… you’ll find them on our Fan Fiction page. (You can read them sequentially by following the “More by this author” link at the end of each entry.) If you like it, send him mail… he’ll release…

The Halo SETI Marines crunch valiantly, but lose almost 250 units to the SETI Black Hole. Banzif and Dash take top honors… details on the 24 hour stats page.

Haloplayers has gotten confirmation from PCGamer UK that the September issue (on sale July 31) will contain the E3 trailer. UK Halo fans now know where they’re getting the trailer from! (No word yet on the US carrier.)

Tim Jenks PR Officer at Haloplayers sends us this PR snippet:After noticing a large increase in European based Halo squads, we’re just reminding people of the European Halo League – a league ready to go as soon as the game is here. – We currently have a large number of European squads already signed up…
