Grunts first - we're smaller!
Wraith writes that Halo: Shadow Ops is up and running over at Forerunners.org. The hook? Check out the Sounds page, with 45 genuine Grunt WAV files, recorded in-game. (7mb download.) Nice! (Louis Wu 22:23:02 UTC) (permalink)
CPL, Halo PC, Dallas, December - mucho cash
The CPL Winter 2003 Championships has been announced - Dallas, TX, December 16-20, 2003. Three tournaments, including a $30,000 Halo PC (team) tournament. Nice! (Thanks to kappa, who noticed it on Cached.net.) (Louis Wu 22:06:55 UTC) (permalink)

Toy Story
SketchFactor has posted a note to Bungie.net - if you're interested in pre-ordering Halo Action Figures, you can do so now at the Bungie Store. Oooh... I want that Warthog. (Louis Wu 17:14:50 UTC) (permalink)
Changes to the Fan Fiction section again
The Fan Fiction authors have just become guinea pigs again. I've made some changes in how the Series name gets chosen; it'll be much, much harder to forget to add it (or to add the wrong one) now - you'll have to work at it. :) Of course, it hasn't been rigorously tested yet - that's where the authors come in. So submit your stories, and if you notice a major problem with the posted version (as compared to what you originally submitted), please, let us know. It should go without saying that you should keep a local copy of your story, in case of trouble during the submitting process - but I'm going to say it anyway, since many of you don't seem to bother. Hopefully, this will solve most of the problems you've run into - if you find new ones, please tell me; I can't fix what I don't know about. Thanks! (Thanks go out to John Myers, for suggesting - in a very useful way - the direction in which I could change the series picker.) (Louis Wu 15:26:47 UTC) (permalink)
Gettin' some air... alone
NazdaH has put up another driver-jumping movie (this one FOCUSES on the driver jumps) - lots of places, lots of heights. Again - as we mentioned a couple of days ago, this is a single-person trick; all you need is a warthog, and something to bounce off of. (Basically, you're translating your forward momentum you gain from the hog's movement to vertical height by bouncing off an obstacle.) Very cool stuff, even though the video quality is a bit off. WMV7 format, 4.7 mb. Take a look! (Louis Wu 14:29:19 UTC) (permalink)
