  • Siege Of Madrigal As It Appears In Halo

    Although the track “Siege of Madrigal” is actually from Bungie’s earlier RTS game, Myth, it also appears in a hidden spot in the Halo level “Assault on the Control Room”. If you fly a Banshee to one of the ledges high above the pyramid structure at the end of that level, and stand on the…

  • Have A Rampant Christmas

    This one is machine and nerve, and will make a good tree-trimming; This one is but flesh and faith… and will get coal inside his stocking. Have a Merry Christmas… we’d rather not piss this thing off.

  • Because Two Blades Are Better Than One

    Spartan182 discusses in his blog the possibility of plasma energy swords being dual-wieldable in Halo 3, based on suggestions in the Brute video documentary. One might think this would make such characters a bit too powerful, although I’m not really sure how carrying two instant-kill weapons really makes a difference unless you can lunge in…

  • Firing Squad Interviews Certain Affinity

    Max “Yeroen” Hoberman, Bungie alum and founder of Texas-based Certain Affinity, now working on new Halo 2 multiplayer maps for release next year, gave an interview to Firing Squad. However, that’s not all they’re working on, apparently: FiringSquad: You are also working on a new game. What can you tell us about this game at…

  • Coming Not To Praise Tartarus, But To Bury Him

    So the Brute documentary is out. I’m going to stop using Bungie’s VIDOC or Video Documentary term, because I really couldn’t think of any other kind of documentary except perhaps for film, and since George Lucas says film is dead and HD Video is the way to go, I suppose it’s redundant. Certain pockets of…

  • Halo 2 Main Theme For Piano

    I was taking another look at some of the sheet music earlier and I noticed that there was no Halo 2 theme. So I decided to transcribe it. The format is again only for Finale Notepad but will be available in PDF shortly. I also added “The Maw” transcription done by Poop Scoop to the…

  • Heads Up

    MereCatfish provided us with this early capture from Bungie’s 7-minute-long Brute documentary. This one shows (along with an Elite and various lines of fire and information about local terrain) alterations made to the heads-up display, with the shield strength bar separated from the motion detector and placed dead center, straight up. What appear to be…

  • Halo 3 Announcement Trailer Piano Solo

    After working on it for almost 4 months, I have decided that this is good enough. It is only for Finele Notepad; so if you dont have that program, you can’t view it. If you can view it, then enjoy! I am currently working on the rest of the trailer and hopefully will have it…

  • Bungie Bounces Benz As Voice Of Keyes

    Captain Jacob Keyes started to have bad luck from the first moments of Halo 1. His ship, preparing for a secret mission, was ambushed when the Covenant attacked Reach. They fled blindly, only to arrive at Halo 04 and find the Covenant waiting for them. After a valiant effort, the ship crashes on Halo and…

  • Stubbs The Zombie: Dear But Not Departed

    A couple of newsworthy items noted at WideloadGames.org that skipped my notice until just now: Alex “The Man” Seropian and Matt Soell, as well as others from Wideload, attended a meeting of the new Madison, Wisconship chapter of the International Game Developers Association last month. No missing brains have yet been reported. Furthermore, the ring…

  • New Documentary Vid Coming, Brutes Not Playable Characters

    Ahh, the Halo rumor mill. When the tabloids fail to satisfy or even titillate, Halo rumors always ride to the rescue. A Microsoft blogger in Belgium apparently reposted verbatim an electronic mail message sent from a “bigwig” at Microsoft about a video due to hit Xbox Marketplace on December 20th. The email alleged the 7…
