Another level walkthrough posted
Another walkthrough page goes up... IGN has posted their walkthrough of The Library in their Halo Strategy Guide. Thanks to Aida-kun for pointing it out seconds before I could write this... :) (Louis Wu 21:59:12 UTC) (permalink)
What level got YOU the most?
Deco drops a note on our forum about the poetry in 343 Guilty Spark - and upon reflection, I'd have to agree with him that the hectic feel of the level was pervasive; I never felt like I got a break. (In fact, I got fatigued near the end; I really WANTED a breather. :) ) The Flood, though easy to kill, were used to their best advantage on this level - they showed up in tight corridors, they showed up in dark corners. Though there were more of them on the Library level, I felt as though the fear factor was higher on 343 Guilty Spark... and it seems Deco feels that way too. If you have a special level where you were most frightened, or in some other way impressed, add it to his thread! (Louis Wu 21:51:16 UTC) (permalink)
New wallpaper
Anthony Tilford dropped off a new desktop using some of the cool new concept art and screenshots at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site. You'll find it in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 21:42:41 UTC) (permalink)
Happy Halo Xperience
NaliGun noticed a review at Blueyonder of the Xbox Xperience tour currently in the UK. While they hated the event itself, they loved Halo:
Even the poor LCD screens in Nutopia had difficulty disguising the sensational visuals.
Worth a read - gives props to Marty and the Sound team, as well! (Louis Wu 15:28:47 UTC) (permalink)
There's one born...
A couple of days ago, TeamXbox mentioned a rather absurd eBay auction - someone was auctioning off a PICTURE of an Xbox. The auction closed Monday, and the listing was gone yesterday - obviously some eBay rules were violated by selling a printout of a game console for roughly what the console itself should sell for... however, thanks to bungie.org's own Doughnut, we've been able to reproduce the listing here, for your own edification. All links have been removed - it's just a static page. It's here to show you why you should be careful and read EVERYTHING before you buy. (Louis Wu 15:15:37 UTC) (permalink)
Don't throw away that needler...
Skeletor had to crow this morning - he tells a fun gameplay story on our forum. No spoilers... but he did come up with something interesting. In many reviews, people have disparaged the Covenant Needler as a useless weapon... but Skeletor discovered an extremely valuable aspect to it; if you can keep the targeting reticule focused on a single victim, the needler can take down a fully-shielded Elite on Legendary in a single clip. Thanks, Skeletor! (Louis Wu 15:07:22 UTC) (permalink)
More Xbox names
The Xbox names just keep pouring in... Some people have noticed that the Seven Dwarves names show up as default player names, so it's not clear whether they're ALSO machine names, or if folks are just reading the wrong line. Also, in several cases, the box had already been renamed, so some of the names aren't original any more. For this reason, we'll probably stop taking submissions of names now, unless 1) you KNOW you're reading the correct line (it's ABOVE the picture of the Xbox, not below it), and 2) you haven't renamed your box. The existing list will not be shortened, but new, non-official names will not be added. (Louis Wu 15:02:35 UTC) (permalink)
