Picked up a WHAT?
Now HERE'S a weird one. Stefander dropped off a short movie he made, showing a small oversight on Bungie's part. To reproduce it, you need a modded Xbox. Play the Maw right at the start - kill off the first wave of Flood that bust down the door. The second wave is just two guys - bump one (after it passes the broken door). Wander for a bit... and you might see this (1.6 mb, QT format). No graphics for the weapon... but it clearly used to be there. Nice! Credit to Goatrope, apparently, as well.

Guh.
To the eight million and one people sending us info about the OXM scans... Yes, it's true: the June issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has a massive Halo 2 article, with some pretty incredible pictures. Yes, they're allowed to print those - they got their permission straight from Bungie. Yes, we know that there are literally DOZENS of places where you can download these scans now. No, the issue is NOT on the shelves yet - only subscribers have their hands on it right now. No, we are NOT going to post these scans, or link to them; our policy with magazine scans is that we will NOT put up anything from a magazine still on the newsstand shelves. (June's OXM isn't even ON the shelves yet... forget about being OFF them.) By scanning these pages early (or downloading them and choosing not to buy the magazine because you've already read the article of interest to you), you've taken money from OXM, and increased the chances that OXM won't be in business to BRING you cool articles like this a year from now. It's not clear to me why we have to state this policy over and over, every time a magazine puts out a major Halo-related article... but it seems we do. (Louis Wu 13:33:17 UTC) (permalink)
Hehe... those guys can FLY
Another movie for ya - Fight or Flight, from Dancing Grunt Productions. 4:30 long, this movie is full of fun little snippets, mostly from single player or coop. From it, you can see stuff like coordinated marine rolls, cheating death by using vehicles, and some nicely timed warthog tosses (one into a blue beam - it's tossed right back). It weighs in at 20.9 mb, and is hosted by mythica.org, with a backup on the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server. (More folks should take advantage of this resource - transfer rates are high, and the collection of movies is enormous.) Enjoy! (Louis Wu 00:00:13 UTC) (permalink)
