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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Ducain put up an interview at High Impact Halo where Shdw Shinobi and Mr. Sprout put questions to HBO’s webmaster, Louis Wu. No, not the one with gorilla breath and the big hat, the other one. He gives some pointers on what it takes to run a big fansite like bungie.org. For the people who…
