Termacious Trickocity Maneuvers Into All of Halo 3’s Floodgate Cutscene Rooms, Including the MASSIVE ‘Portal Room’
The folks at Termacious Trickocity have often come up with some pretty amazing videos. Just last year they made their way into the bridge cutscene room in Halo 3! Here, they have outdone themselves. Using ridiculous combos of deployable covers, trip mines, gravity hammers, the Halo 3 ‘Gravemind effect’, respawning, sword elevatoring and more, not only did they visit the bridge cutscene room in Halo 3’s Floodgate level, but they also maneuvered their way into the ramp cutscene room and the portal room. It’s really quite a breathtaking accomplishment what they did here. If you’re a fan of Halo, you’ll want to make time to see what they’ve succeeded in doing with their latest trick!

Let’s Play Myth II: Soulblighter Co-op #15 Walls of Muirthemne
We’re playing the next of Bungie’s famous franchises, the Real Time Tactics fantasy wargame, Myth. Set in a mysterious land of cyclical war and destruction, Myth lets you command a ragtag army in a desperate battle against the forces of the Fallen Lords.
We defend the city of Muirthemne with the help of the newly-recruited Trow against an even more destructive enemy: Myrkridian Giants.
In this episode we’re once again using the high definition tagset, made by Ooga Booga, Renwood and Road. The Myth Myth HD Total Conversion v1.31 provides higher resolution units.
Due to the tireless work of many community members over the years, the Myth engine has been modernized to work on current operating systems, although you’ll still need a copy of the game’s data files to play. Check Ebay.
For the engine itself as well as texture enhancements, go to Project Magma:
There’s also multiplayer metaserver available for competitive carnage:
A bunch of other Myth-related downloads are available at The Tain:
Intro and outro Music “Into the Breach”

Morpheus Montage Monday – ‘Already Over – A Halo 2 Montage’ by BlaziN
Morpheus launches another of his favorite montages to the forum this week in ‘Already Over – A Halo 2 Montage’ by BlaziN. Here’s what Morpheus had to say about this one:The choice for this week’s Long side theme is almost 15 minutes long and was made about 5 years ago. Some people may not like it–the player, xxBlaziN 187 looks like the kind of person spending too long knowing all the ins and outs of the system, but his skills are absolutely jaw-dropping regardless. You will never comprehend how someone can chain together so many different complicated button combos flawlessly, and under pressure. It’s hard not to smile at the editing here; it’s simple, yet completely embodies the spirit of that “classic” Halo montage feel–you’d think you were back in 2005. While I personally am not a fan of the music choice(also heads up the last song is hip-hop, so NSFW tags) but the amazing gameplay and the nostalgic editing more than make up for it. Enjoy BlaziN’s Final Halo 2 Montage!(MacGyver10 17:14:21 UTC)

New Halo 2 Sheriff in Town (Getting Through the Green Door in Sacred Icon)
Grumpy emailed us recently with a killer new Halo 2 video, here’s what he had to say:SLOBSKY decided to destroy the iconic Sacred Icon Green Door in Halo 2 the hard way. The BAW (Break Any Wall) he pulls off is the power way to get in that giant door. Mods went in but they didn’t count, I went in but it was a fluke in the programming that allowed me to just walk in. This is awesome…the flat launch, the CP, the BAW, falltime break, this is the old HIH kind of tricking at it’s best.?(MacGyver10 17:09:25 UTC)
