The History of Halo
Well, I was hoping to hold off on this for a few days... but due to a mail problem, it's already a couple of weeks late. Knight Premier sent in a 'Noah's Ark' theory of the history of Halo way back on December 20... it's interesting to see the same sorts of speculation flying around our forum right now. You'll find this (and other speculations) for a short time on our Theories page... but it'll be moving next week. WARNING - there are major story spoilers inside. (Louis Wu 19:14:18 UTC) (permalink)
JJ interview in EGM
Thanks to Nate, who points out that the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine contains an interview with Jason Jones. As soon as we can get our hands on this, we'll try and get you more details. (Louis Wu 17:46:15 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo oddities...
Deimos™ writes to say that he put sleep ahead of honor and chose to wait until this morning to point out this page at Subnova, a collection of Halo bugs and oddities. Silly man... you can sleep when you're dead. Included are shots from the top of 'Halo', weird rendering bugs, and another picture of the infamous 'secret marine' on 343 GS. (If you don't know what this means, don't follow the link - he's more fun to find on your own.) (Louis Wu 14:38:36 UTC) (permalink)
All your banshees...
Mattgyver has put up a very nice tutorial for stealing yet another Banshee on level 5. This one has been mentioned, but never laid out so prettily before. Some of the nicest shots were made possible by an earlier Banshee-stealing tutorial... (Small warning - there ARE spoilers here, if you're trying to stay pure.) Time for me to get back to coding.

Going where no man is supposed to go
Ben Kane and Greg Mouland have managed to take the first pics atop the cliff on 343 Guilty Spark (the one you can get to by jumping on top of the initial dropship, then jumping across as it leaves), and have also taken some nice shots atop the Silent Cartographer level. You can find these pics on Ben's Geocities site. (Hopefully, by this time next week, we'll have a home for this sort of thing, for those interested in contributing.)

Legendary Ending Scene filmed
We shouldn't even be telling you this... but hell, he made the films. If you haven't yet beaten Halo on Legendary, but you're still anxious to see the special cutscene at the end, John Kramlich has made it possible; the critical part is available on his site, in both Sorensen 3 and MPEG 1 formats. If you watch these without earning them, though, you should be ashamed of yourself. (Louis Wu 10:08:44 UTC) (permalink)
The Marines keep going
Hot pink plasma shot out of the enemy turret guns and flung through space barely missing one the fighter ships. Two more fighter ships appeared around the side of the Covenant War Cruiser and commenced firing at the guns.
