Favorite Anticipated Game poll at XBN
There's a poll over at XBN's website, asking 'What is your most wanted Xbox game right now?' Halo is leading strongly, with 47% of the almost 1900 votes at the moment... but you never know. Thanks to Battleground: Halo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:48:14 UTC) (permalink)
Move Over Mehve.
One One Se7en takes a shot at Frankie today. Methinks the MC needs to clean that gun... it would misfire less. (Louis Wu 11:31:29 UTC) (permalink)
One Relationship, On The Rocks Please
Keyes drops a bombshell in today's Halo: Resolution. I, for one, didn't see it coming. (Louis Wu 11:29:28 UTC) (permalink)
A new trick, at this late date
Wow. Ducain has come up with what I think is a brand-new trick; he's put himself, and a Warthog, on top of the Light Bridge support structure underground in the level Halo. In single-player mode. He says it took him about 40 hours - but then, in reality, it's taken more like 2.5 YEARS. Very nicely done. 6 mb WMP9 file, with a QT version coming as soon as I get the hi-res content. Update: the WMP9 version has been mirrored at Rampancy.net - thanks, Narc! Update 2: We're now hosting copies locally (the original 6.5 mb WMP9 version and a 6.8 mb QuickTime version).

HBO-COERCE - open for business again
The HBO-COERCE Halo PC server is BACK! The new IP address has been added to the top of this page, for status checks. It's hard to tell, yet, but I'm guessing there's a new mapcycle, as well. Go play! (Louis Wu 10:49:41 UTC) (permalink)
A thousand words... times a lot.
The HUDless screenfest goes on. zarrel40 put up a few (one with a pretty cool transposition of the Threshold hologram), and MereCatfish continues his own posting spree. Nice stuff! (Louis Wu 10:43:53 UTC) (permalink)
Can Halo Take Quake
The next Halo-related round of the Gamespy Title Fight starts today at noon, PST; Halo goes up against Quake in The Abandoned Base bracket. (The winner faces TIE Fighter, Super Metroid, or GoldenEye 007 - that last a game beaten soundly by Halo in round 1, but back with an extra life.) Don't forget to vote!

Space Invader Halo
MC117- has posted a note in our forum about a 2D game he's working on. There's a screenshot up at Halomods, if you're interested in providing feedback. (Louis Wu 10:19:10 UTC) (permalink)
New content at Sector 7
Sector 7 has posted a couple of items they wanted us to mention: there's an article on the expansion of the Halo universe (via books and fan creations), and there's a 'comic parody' section, in which popular Halo comics are spoofed. Take a look! (Louis Wu 10:16:07 UTC) (permalink)
Crystal Xbox - up for grabs!
Halo Universe is giving away a new Xbox crystal edition (PAL format), 2 controllers, and a copy of Halo. You need to answer three questions, and mail them to the address listed in this contest webpage. Because the content is an image, and so is not translatable by web translation resources without a lot of transcription work, we'll post the English translation of the questions here (sent to us by Halo Universe):
- Who is responsible for the soundtrack of Halo and Halo 2?
- Who writes the german version of "Halo - The Fall of Reach"?
- What age is No. 117 when he was conscripted into the SPARTAN II project?
Go visit the link, answer the question, and who knows - you might win! Closing date is April 4. (Louis Wu 10:03:32 UTC) (permalink)
