First Strike Mod - on its way
Whoa. Crispy Spartan dropped by our forum to dish out the first weekly update on his First Strike mod project. (We first mentioned this mod a month and a half ago, before it moved to Halocity.org.) Some good stuff in the updates; sketches, early models, and maps. Check it out! (Louis Wu 21:36:07 UTC) (permalink)
Oddbrawl
Silvergrunt created a movie using 'Fraps, Windows Movie Maker, and 2 cans of Mountain Dew' - it's almost 5 minutes of an Oddball game on Derelict, filmed on the HBO-Coerce server. It's in WMP9 format, weighs in at about 12 mb, and is being hosted by MereCatfish. The soundtrack is Mothergoat's 'Hail 117 Anthem'. You can grab it here. (Louis Wu 16:54:26 UTC) (permalink)
Slay again?
BOLL has continued to tweak his Grunt shooting game (wait for it... then shoot the grunt when he appears); at this point, he's done. (The file is now local, so he HAS to be done.) More grunt colors, more stats, piercing bullets, better graphics, less lag... See how you do. (Louis Wu 14:37:49 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC Championship... goes to the UK!
Looks like I totally misread the iGames Championship Match Results from yesterday; was that explaining paragraph on the top of the page then? The numbers correspond to the player's POSITION, not score; low numbers are better . The US/Canada's representative, Noah Evans, was actually doing quite well - but was beaten in the finals. (Looks like he tied for 4th place overall.) The winner was Jonathan Finglass, of the UK, with nobody NEAR him (Stefan Dammers, of Holland, took a distant second). Thanks to Spideroptics for pointing out the win on our forum! (Louis Wu 11:33:46 UTC) (permalink)
Okay, you two, get a room.
Fluffy, from Battleground: Halo, points out that they have a new mailbag up. It's a joint effort - towards something. (Louis Wu 10:52:06 UTC) (permalink)
Cold plasma still sticks
CYBRFRK wrote up a different kind of reminiscence about the recent Offensive Tetraboxing lanfest that took place here a couple of weeks ago. New (gigantic) pictures... but the meat is in the text. Take a look - this is what HBO is all about. (Louis Wu 04:06:37 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo Action Figure Shots
Very nice. Dan Chosich found some new pics from Toy Fair - very nicely taken shots of the new Halo figures. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 04:03:06 UTC) (permalink)
Under The Influence 2 - Chiefbert
Continuing the homage series, Stuntmutt tips a hat to Scott Adams in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 03:45:16 UTC) (permalink)
Not Like I Paid For It
Have you ever blown something up just for the fun of it? Now Halo: Resolution has... (Louis Wu 03:42:02 UTC) (permalink)
