The Trailer Issue - Clarification
One last one, before I collapse: To the hundreds (no joke!) of people sending us Halo 2 trailer links... feel free to stop at any point. They're out there for anyone who wants them, but we're not going to link to them. We're waiting for the official version from Bungie, which is likely to be released later this week. (Marty, Jay, and Joe have to get together, record a copy and compress it for the web, and then distribute it to sites that can handle the bandwidth spike. There's no real timeframe for how long this will take... but later this week is a pretty good bet.) We're not saying you shouldn't watch the 800 recompressed versions of the shakeycam recordings that Gamespot and IGN snagged that first night - we're just saying that we're not gonna link to any of them. Again, if you want to see them, they're really, really trivial to find. You don't need our help. (Louis Wu 15:04:26 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2: Fantasy Seige
Several people (first here) have pointed out on the forum that this page at Xbox.com has Halo 2 listed as "Halo 2: Truth and Reconciliation". However, according to Lorraine "mehve" Reyes-McLees, we have not discovered a subtitle for Halo 2. This wouldn't be the first miscommunication between Bungie and Microsoft's PR department. So please stop sending it in :) (Count Zero 14:44:19 UTC) (permalink)
Never-before-seen screens at a Danish site
Interesting. There seems to be a passel of new screenshots at Boomtown, a Danish gaming site. Conversations with Bungie employees this past week led me to believe that these shots wouldn't actually be released... but it seems that Boomtown has a source that thinks differently. The article is in Danish, but Mr Leut, who pointed out the screens on our forum, says that the text describes being able to use human and alien weapons simultaneously. Check 'em out - as far as I know, some of these pics haven't been seen ANYWHERE else, online or in print. (There are several that appear, in modified format, in the OXM article... but these have backgrounds that the OXM shots don't have.) (Louis Wu 14:45:36 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction doesn't stop for E3
Back from LA, and utterly exhausted... but hey, you guys are worth it, so here's a Fan Fiction update:
- Halo: Aftermath 02, by Cpt Crapper
- ONI Experimental Vehicle and Weapons Database: Volume 1, by LordofDestruction
- The Prologue, by Simpsons Rule
- The End, by Clark S.
- Critters the Reckoning part one, by Caleb Generoso

- Chapter 5: The Beginning, by Ace
- Halo 2: The Covenant Wars [Chapter 1], by Thomas Harper
- To Kill a Mockingbird continued, by sunscorpian
- Chapter 3: Friendship, by Vinny
There'll be more stuff later today, I think... it's unclear whether there'll be time for it; I've been gone for 3 days, and there's some family stuff to attend to. To the people who wanted to know why the artwork they sent in 24 hours previously hasn't been posted yet... um, I've been gone. (Louis Wu 14:28:21 UTC) (permalink)
