First Halo Commercial at AdReview
Wow. Thanks to Mike Flacy, who was the first to send us word of the first Halo ad - it's linked to this column, which tears into gamers as a bunch of 'absolute freakin' morons'. Don't mind the insults - watch the trailer. It's tiny, and in streaming Real format... but it's pretty astounding. (There's already a decent-sized thread on our forum about it...)

Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
The Halo SETI Marines hold steady at slot 52 in the Battle of the Teams, thanks in large part to the awesome crunching of charleya and Int_21... but the influx of nearly 1000 units (thanks to new members Istan, Radar, Matthew and Vladoz) doesn't hurt, either. See all the crunching data on the 7 day stats page. (Louis Wu 16:25:22 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Commercial less than a week away
Cesar Berardini, of TeamXbox, lets us know that TXB has a report about launch title commercials up - the short version; they'll go live on November 11. Go read the long version to find out where Microsoft is spending its half a billion advertising dollars... (Louis Wu 15:26:44 UTC) (permalink)
New Desktop Art
A couple of new desktop images for you tonight - one from Daniel Byrne, and one from [SE]X-Com. You can find both in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 03:39:07 UTC) (permalink)
Two-fisted Fan Fiction Action
The Hawk Chronicles continue - Chapter 3a arrived tonight for our Fan Fiction section. A taut read - check it out. (And don't forget to leave Vector40 feedback in the Comments section!) (Louis Wu 03:11:08 UTC) (permalink)
Haloserver.com on eBay
The HaloServer team points out that the haloserver.com domain (which, as we mentioned a few days ago, is for sale), is now at eBay. Auction ends in a bit less than a week - current bid is $5, and the reserve is not met. Go grab a good fansite name now! (Louis Wu 02:43:34 UTC) (permalink)
FAQ updated
FAQ overhaul: two major changes are visible to you, the reader; There's a new page, called 'Most-Asked Questions' - you should point people to this page if you see them asking about the PC version, or bots. (Likewise, you should let us know if there's a question you think belongs on this page.) Additionally, the Weapons page has been brought up-to-date; new pictures, cleaned-up pictures, far more detailed info on most weapons (thanks, JB), and an overlooked weapon has been included. Comments are always welcome. (Louis Wu 02:39:00 UTC) (permalink)
