New Fan Fiction
"Mayday mayday we're under fire by unknown forces we need immediate assistance! Position Echo-Delta-Foxtrot-Niner please aid...."
The Emperor sends in a new story, 'Solo', for our Fan Fiction section. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 19:25:30 UTC) (permalink)
A pair of new desktops
Dusty sends in a pair of desktops for our Wallpaper section. That green one is pretty slick! Update: Bounty, from Battleground: Halo, points out that the green wallpaper submitted earlier today by Dusty was, in fact, taken from the screensaver included in the Microsoft-released Halo XP Theme released a week ago. The entry has been updated to reflect this. Please, folks - if you submit work, claim credit for it only if it's yours. Update 2: Sorry for the confusion. Unfortunately, I don't have a machine I can install this theme on (the Win98 boxes I have access to cannot be used for this) - I need to rely on others to let me know when stuff isn't right. From the original documents that Dusty has sent, it's clear that while the elements might have come from the screensaver, quite a bit of the enhancement work is his alone. The Wallpaper entry has been adjusted yet again. (Louis Wu 18:59:43 UTC) (permalink)
Haloserver.com for sale
Halo domain for sale: In April, Haloserver.com came online aiming to be "first and best dedicated Halo gaming server". Today, they announced on our forum that they can't make it all it can be, and would like to offer it to someone who can. Do you have what it takes? (Louis Wu 17:56:06 UTC) (permalink)
Counter-Strike AR model for grabs
strykerwolf created a Counter-Strike model of the Halo assault rifle a little while ago - it's been polished since then (here's a newer screenshot), and we're hosting it for him. It's a tad over 400k - if you play Counter-Strike, go ahead and grab this! (There are no sounds included, for copyright reasons... but as we said last week, there's a nice little .wav of the assault rifle firing in the Halo XP theme Microsoft released recently.

Halo Box scans
Tweak3d, over at the Xbox IGN forums, has posted pictures of the Halo box (front and back) and of the booklet showing the game controls. Thanks to BiBoFieTo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:39:02 UTC) (permalink)
Reyes-McLees Shipyards... coming soon
Nice catch by Psyrixx - page 238 of 'Halo: The Fall of Reach':
"The structural system was designed by a Dr. Robert McLees - cofounder of the Reyes-McLees Shipyards over mars - in 2510..."
For those who don't keep up on Bungie employees - Rob McLees is an artist on the Halo Dev Team, and he's married to Lorraine Reyes, an artist on the Phoenix team. Nice tip o' the hat! (Louis Wu 02:07:21 UTC) (permalink)
GS looks at Halo Basics
Cesar Berardini, of TeamXbox, points out a pretty nice article over at GameSpot - it's called 'Halo: Weapon, Enemy, and Vehicle Basics'. It's a solid article, with 9 new screens (okay, 8, since they screwed up one of them Update - okay, they've fixed it), and no SERIOUS spoilers. The info in here has been elsewhere - but it's nicely put together. Check it out! (Louis Wu 01:54:39 UTC) (permalink)
This scared me.
Final Solution points out a hands-on review he wrote (based on an hour's worth of play at a kiosk) - be careful where you step, the html is DANGEROUS. (Louis Wu 01:49:08 UTC) (permalink)
We Liek Halo
Adem sends in another JeffK-style wallpaper (inspired, he says, by FunkyJ's). You'll find it in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 01:46:14 UTC) (permalink)
