How do you outfox the Halo FoX clan?
Koen De Paus informs us of a new Dutch Halo clan called FoX. As you may remember the Dutch got an amazing Halo scoop in the latest issue of PC Zone Benelux. New Halo screenshots and some concept art. We'll be bringing you that as soon as we get permission. (Ding 17:24:30 UTC) (permalink)
NextGen shot a mirror of a PCG shot
Seems we flubbed. The screenshot we mentioned last night does NOT show a gun we've never seen before... in fact, it's not even a shot we've never seen before. The same shot, mirrored, was in the PC Gamer spread recently upped to the R.net Hotline server. Here they are, side-by-side:

If you're not convinced by the thumbnails, check out the full versions above. We hope to bring you better scans of the PC Gamer material soon. An interesting tidbit: both mags are part of the Imagine family, which would explain why an image that didn't show up in any released movie is in both places. (Louis Wu 13:57:26 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo SETI Marines hold their ground at position #47
The Halo SETI Marineshold their ground at position #47 in the Battle of the Teams but the"Seti Italia" team are on our tails. Looks like it's going to be a tough weekend. Awright! First squad up, on line. Watch the rear. (Wirehead 06:30:08 UTC) (permalink)
NextGen sidebar contains good stuff
Kudos (sort of) to Freewill, who scanned in a sidebar from the latest NextGen magazine and posted it on the R.net forum. Two interesting tidbits there... the game that NextGen described in last month's issue as 'fantasy-based siege warfare' is now being titled 'Fantasy Siege' by Ed Fries... and the gun that the commander is wielding is one we've never seen before. Another redesign of the pistol? (Louis Wu 01:58:05 UTC) (permalink)
Double-barrelled rocket launcher modelled
Not one to let moss grow on a rolling grenade, Ian McConville has sent in yet another weapon model. This time, he's tackled the anti-armor rocket launcher (the double-barreled one). The diagram showing how it actually works is very intriguing. Thanks, Ian! (Louis Wu 01:21:57 UTC) (permalink)
Wallpaper page updated
Thanks to Kevin Adams, who sent in a slick desktop for our Wallpaper page. Action unlimited! (Louis Wu 00:49:04 UTC) (permalink)
