Gamespot has gotten into the subscriber-only-Halo-PC-movies game, along with Gamespy… There are 5 new films, totalling about 65 mb of QuickTime footage of Halo PC campaign play. Locked, unless you’re a Gamespot Complete subscriber. Thanks to Strato for the heads-up.

Looks like Gamespy has put up an exclusive Halo PC Multiplayer vid – 141 mb, zipped, on FilePlanet. You can’t download it if you’re not a subscriber, though – I can’t tell you what’s in it. Thanks to ko0_ko0 for the heads-up on our forum.

PegNose, a regular on the Gamespot forums, created a slick animated gif (864K) showing the Master Chief in a pixel war with the Covenant. We’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. It’s really quite good. Thanks to Konrad9 for pointing it out.

Master Chief looks like he made a little mess in Blood Gulch… new screenie over at Gearbox’s site. No modding needed – that’s stuff you can get right from the configure multiplayer dialogues. Whoa. Thanks to spesalfred for the heads-up.

A rockin’ good time… The HBO Weekly Review has been posted. Save yourself from having to read 4600 forum posts… read this one instead.

11 new dialogue snippets added to the Dialogue Databank, courtesy of Captain Spark. Some stuff I’ve never heard before… he’s doing a wonderful job of finding the obscure bits. Check out the collection!

Tec[H]noGeeK has mirrored Lion’s Master Chief Casting Call (both the WMP and MPEG versions) – if yo’ure having trouble getting it from TruthandReconciliation.com, give this a shot.

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Mikey Cd – it seems he has a bone to pick with BOLL. Poor MC…

Many Halo Xbox players who’ve had a chance to try out Halo PC (including me) have commented that the pistol seems to be toned down; it’s not the dominating weapon it is for Xbox players. Dave Mertz chimed in to a thread on the topic over at the Gearbox Forums with a definitive statement: “The pistol was not touched.” It’s the lack of auto-aim that gives the impression that it’s not as powerful a weapon… and jayWHY, on our own forum, points out that you can test this yourself by attempting to shoot your own teammates on the Xbox version. (There is no auto-aim when your weapon is not trained on an enemy.) Good to know.

Hot on the heels of the Wallpaper update, we’ve cleared out the Miscellaneous Art queue as well. There’s a pretty wide range of stuff; comics, some very cool stylized logos, a beautiful pic of a machete-wielding MC, and a bunch of other stuff. Visit the Miscellaneous Art section for all the goodies!

TruthandReconciliation.com has posted a new movie – it’s called ‘Master Chief Casting Call’, and it’s about a couple of guys trying to cast a new Master Chief. They don’t have a lot of luck… It’s available from the site in two formats: WMP9 (18 mb) and MPEG (35 mb). It’s 7:30 long. Go take a look!

Wow. It’s been 11 days since we’ve updated our art sections. We’ve received 11 desktop images in that time for the Wallpaper section. Sorry for the delay! Update: Make that 10. We’ve yanked one because it’s a tweaked version of an existing wallpaper – the author went to the trouble of asking the original creator for permission, was turned down, and SUBMITTED IT ANYWAY. People – don’t do stupid stuff like this.

Benny, from XboxOttawa.ca, lets us know that not only is the site back up and running (it has been for a few days now), but all the FTC vids are available there again (in both DivX and QT formats). They’re working on the next episode… but if you missed any of the first six, stop by!

Mrguy writes to point out that there’s some Halo artwork at this website – and if you visit the site’s console gaming section, you’ll find some lan party pics. Check ’em out!

According to Marc, of Halo Universe, Halo has pulled down yet another award: this time, the VUD (German Entertainment Softwaer Association) has given Halo Best Xbox Game for the Games Awards for Interactive Achievement 2003. Not bad, given that it was released over a year ago in Germany!

Missed it last night – but it looks like Blackstar has put up a short video clip giving a taste of some of the gameplay at the Summer Slaying event on Saturday. (Handheld video, really dark space – and at the time it was filmed, only one of the two projectors in the garage (there were three, total, at the event) was running.) Heads-up goes to Rampancy.net, which has been doing a massive amount of updating recently – look around while you’re there!

A bunch of Halo-related artwork over at Elfwood, including this comic, an interesting concept piece, a grunt, and a spoiler for those still waiting for Halo PC. (hehe) Thanks to Hamid Djangi for the heads-up.

Tec[H]noGeeK has mirrored last week’s MXB movie – there are boatloads of OTHER files at his site, too, you just need to register to see them. (It’s free – he asks this so he can keep track of downloads.)

A new Halo site – R Gamer – has come online. The content is filling out… go take a look!
