    Forgot to post this yesterday – lol Pwn3d created a standalone (PC-only) app that lets you run through his recreation of Beaver Creek – no guns, but nice textures! 5.6 mb, hosted at FileFront.(Louis Wu 12:04:39 UTC)

  • Humpday: Halo2.Junk.ws

    Bungie.net’s Recent News
    in
    This week Bungie took on the administrators of halo2.junk.ws in what may have been the closest Humpday challenge of all time. So close that, in about a month, it’ll be shown on ESPN Classic with a crazy filter on the film to make it look like it happened ten years ago.

    Wow. There’s an article at AOL Games called ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Halo’ – it’s about a male staffer taking on three members of the PMS clan (yes, all female), in various games. Despite the piece’s title, Halo was NOT one of the three games. (Yes, I know that this makes the Halo link pretty tenuous… I’m posting this because the whole article amazes me.) He plays three different girls, in three different games… and he’s paying more attention to their shampoo types than to their gaming skillz. The article is ostensibly about how men don’t need to be chauvinistic about women gamers any more… and it’s being written by an astounding chauvinist. Irony abounds. Thanks, Redstevo.(Louis Wu 19:55:26 UTC)

    Jillybean rounded up a goodly amount of recent speculation based on the Halo Graphic Novel, for presentation to you in digestible form, on the Halo Story Page. And what would a Jillybean update be without a gratuitous shot at Cortana? Go read.(Louis Wu 19:23:30 UTC)

  • Bungie’s on a roll… 1 week winning streak

    Last night’s Halo Humpday Challenge was played against the crew of Halo2.Junk.ws, a Halo 2 stats site. The writeup’s not posted yet at Bungie.net – but Junk’s went live a little bit ago. Looks like it was REALLY close; Bungie won two out of three, but all three scores were nailbiters. (10:00-9:23, 80-78, and 1:00-0:59.) Thanks, Indutiomarus.(Louis Wu 19:03:42 UTC)

    Arteen has released Grove, a new HaloCE map ‘set in the lush canyons of Halo, among long-abandoned Forerunner structures.’ Very pretty – you can grab a copy at Halo Maps. Thanks to Dennis Powers for the heads-up (he was tickled by the fact that two of the characters from his Valley of the Forerunners series made it into an easter egg in this map).(Louis Wu 15:42:07 UTC)

    Well,
    It seems Sugarmoney and Luke Mckay mean business. They’ve turned in another comic, and assure us that there are many more on the way. It looks like we have no choice but to make this a regular thing. I’m thinking, since it’s fallen on these days,…
