Halo news back Thursday, August 15, 2002 Halo news forward

The Babies are Back!
HBO Babies - the Pilot! Check it out. (.wmv format, 1.7 mb.) Okay, okay, it's fan-made... but check it out anyway! (And thanks to MasterOmok for sending it in!) (Louis Wu 21:31:17 UTC) (permalink)

Fog of War, Revisited
On April 12, This Side Up sent in some designs for proposed Halo maps. Today, a new batch has come in - this time, they're textured. We've added them to his Map Designs page. (Louis Wu 20:42:40 UTC) (permalink)

Rotating Warthogs
Warbow has created a nice little set of Halo cursors for Windows users. (These work in 9x, NT 4.0, Win2k and XP - Me's not listed?) Directions are included - the download is tiny (8k), so what are you waiting for? (A static preview, not showing you the animation, can be seen here.) (Louis Wu 17:08:16 UTC) (permalink)

And Then Came FF
This is really yesterday's fan fiction - but life was busy...

Go get 'em! (Louis Wu 15:54:58 UTC) (permalink)

More pics for your desktop
A pair of new desktop images for you - Ken Schreiber compares Halo and Halo 2, and Allenthar colors in a cool Bungie wallpaper (in a multitude of sizes). Check 'em out in our Wallpaper section! Update: We've added a third image for the morning - this one from Deimos™, over at Subnova.com... it utilizes an exclusive screenshot and a classic quote; check it out!

Misc Art Updated
Artwork for you this morning:

  • Priceless MC, by WildebeestNZ (another MasterCard takeoff)
  • Halo 2 Cover, by Jesper Nielsen (a projection of the future label for Halo 2)

Enjoy - you'll find these in the Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 14:37:08 UTC) (permalink)

The Genesis of Halo?
oldmano'theC has created a pretty amazing 'Fan Fiction' - it's a video called HALO Genesis•1, and it shows one vision of how Halo might have been formed. It's fully computer-generated footage - there's nothing from the game itself (except the title, and maybe the planetary layout) - even the music is original. It's available from its home site, or from our mythica.org mirror. It's 18 mb, just under 2 minutes, and in QT5 format. Check it out! Update: Thanks to Tocki, of Halo Orbit - there is now a German mirror of this film. (It doesn't come in Chip's nice little display window... but heck, if you're in Europe, saving the transatlantic bandwidth is easily worth losing that!) (Louis Wu 12:27:31 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 2 Banner posted
This was noticed a week ago, by Bachus, first... but we've finally added the new Halo 2 banner from the main bungie.com web page to our Banners collection. It shows the MC before an open airlock, an interesting viewpoint not shown in the rest of the currently released media. (Louis Wu 09:04:02 UTC) (permalink)

Details, details...
The Psyjnir Complex's Shallow Throat tells all! (Well, tells SOMETHING.) Halo 2 storyline - revealed? (Louis Wu 08:44:03 UTC) (permalink)

Delay explained?
Smilebit has a theory about the delay of the Halo 2 trailer... (Louis Wu 02:13:35 UTC) (permalink)

Theft sucks.
A few days ago, we posted a desktop image submitted by Chome, of Xbox Weekly. Turns out that pic used (without permission) the artwork of Greg Martin, specifically a picture called 'Inevitable'. At the request of Mr. Martin, we've yanked this entry. (He does some pretty amazing work - you might want to browse through his site.) A warning to content submitters - if we discover you've submitted a piece using artwork that belongs to someone else, we will not accept any future submissions from you - in any category.

More HNC viewpoints
We mentioned the Halo National Tournament thoughts of Freewill, and Team Overkill - now there are a bunch more at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site. Stop by, and see what people were experiencing... (Louis Wu 02:00:56 UTC) (permalink)
