BraveHamster’s “723” find yesterday is elaborated on at the Marathon’s Story page. Go visit for the lowdown!

Andreas Moers, of splatterworld.de, sends word of a German mirror for the CGW movie, for those on the other side of the pond that are having trouble getting it through the long line. Thanks, Andreas!

Steve Campbell sends in this tantalizing tidbit… two marathon symbol sightings. The first is on one of the front images at Bungie’s Halo site, knife_fight.jpg. The symbol’s disguised as a suit rivet. The second one can be found in Bungie’s screenshot section, from this image. The symbol isn’t disguised at all… simply hard to see. Good eyes, Steve!

Which front image do you see at Bungie’s new Halo page? Some visitors get this image… but others see this one. Let us know if you see any others!

We’ve added a great piece of Halo artwork by Evan Thompson to our misc. art page. Note the similarities between this and Bungie’s Covenant vs. Marine pic. Evan’s uploaded his pic on the 4th Oct. We love it!

It’s in the detail. Using the powers of Photoshop Bravehamster has identified a series of numbers (723?) at the top of the Halo flagstaff. The details are in our forum here. Nice one!

“Halo Central will be down for a short period of time while we sort out a few problems with the server.” say David Rodgerson. Another Halo site out for the count.

halo.bungie.com updated. New movie (sort of), new screenshots, new look.

Kudos to David Claessens, who sent in this scan from a Next-Generation article entitled “The Death of the Genre” (discussing how Halo doesn’t pigeonhole very well). Thanks, David!

Another mirror for the CGW movie has come online… kudos to FilePlanet for helping out on this one!

The Apple Special Event has come and gone… and it was iMacs all the way. No Halo news at all. What can you do? Pax.

3D Action Gamers Archive is also mirroring the movie. The more, the merrier!

You can grab the CGW “MWNY Halo movie” at the following Hotline servers (209.54.40.223), (131.212.93.108), (216.68.125.184:7777), and (206.74.83.118). Pax.

Catch the Special Apple Event today at 10 am PDT. Big Halo news expected.

New Halo article in the November issue of the NextGen magazine says Legend on our Forums. Anyone got a scan?

Halo tops the ZDNet favorite 3rd person game poll. Let’s keep it there! 🙂

And Steve Campbell reports hosting an 18 megabyte Sorensen-compressed version of the CGW movie on bungie.org’s Hotline server, hl.bungie.org. Go get it! Thanks, Steve.

To all those having serious trouble grabbing the CGW movie, Halo Central has added another mirror for the .avi version. (It’s better, anyway. 😉 ) Thanks, David!

This just in from Ferrex… bad news. Send him a nice note, cheer him up. We’re rooting for you, Ferrex!

We rocked the PCParadox poll… time to show ZDNet what we’re made of. Go vote for your favorite Third Person Game.
