MonoxideC talks Halo
FlyingV, over at Battleground: Halo, sat down with MonoxideC and talked to him about modding Halo, and about Halomods.com. Go check out the full interview! (Louis Wu 19:23:47 UTC) (permalink)
Let's go rope us some Blue steer!
Red vs Blue episode 27 is now out for Sponsors. It's called 'Nine-tenths of the Law', and it points out that each team has a pretty weak link - and they're both getting more disturbed. Some great one-liners. Thanks to Cybrfrk for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 17:28:05 UTC) (permalink)
E3 2003 pics at Halo Universe
Marc, from Halo Universe, writes to say that they've uploaded some screens from the E3 2003 Halo 2 Demo trailer. In his words "for all who doesn't know the movie a duty and for all others a nice reminder..." Go remember! (Louis Wu 17:23:27 UTC) (permalink)
Information Overload
Yesterday, we posted a link to some pretty classy X-shots from Mills; in his original note, he stated that he had hi-res versions of the shots (1280x1024) that were available if anyone was interested. Folks WERE interested, and he uploaded them... but I completely forgot to do anything with them. Situation rectified; in his original post, there is now a 'hi-res' link under each picture, which you can right-click/option-click to download. (Filesizes are included, so you know what you're in for.) That menacing grunt is truly awesome at the larger size! (Louis Wu 16:10:04 UTC) (permalink)
Who needs a HUD, anyway?
The Burninator decided to get in on the X-Shots action. (X-Shot, again, is a term coined by Pico to describe the HUDless wonders pioneered by XLNC.) Some nice pics in there! (Louis Wu 15:35:57 UTC) (permalink)
Artistic License
One One Se7en points out that the MC is a lot like... well most of our art submitters, I guess. (Louis Wu 13:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
Serving 5 Billion Locations Throughout The Galaxy
You never thought it was gonna tie back in to the MC, did you? Halo: Resolution brings it home. (Louis Wu 13:34:31 UTC) (permalink)
First Strike Weekly Update
The First Strike mod team has posted their weekly update on our forum - progress mentions in many fields. They really seem like they're coming along, though they're hampered a bit by the lack of the HEK. (Louis Wu 11:00:19 UTC) (permalink)
Project Halo changes focus
Wow, some big (and somewhat sad) news from the Project Halo team - easiest to simply let them speak:
"It is with deep regret that I inform you that Project Halo is being discontinued, and that the project will be moving to a new name.
Due to lack of response from Bungie, the project has been halted and we will be redoing some things. We will be dropping the Halo theme for the game and inserting a new story. The project will continue in a way, but with a new name and story line. We can't continue without licensing from Bungie, and it doesn't look like that will be coming. So, we've decided to just make an all new game.
Thanks to all the Halo fans that supported us, and especially to HBO and the Junkyard for all their support. I hope you guys all follow our game, and thanks again for supporting us!"
I have no doubt it'll continute to be a great project... but I'm saddened by the fact that it will no longer be Halo-related. (Louis Wu 10:03:33 UTC) (permalink)
A closer look at the Towers of Death
Finn has taken another stab at the Halo Story Page mailbag. (It refuses to die, no matter HOW many times he stabs it.) Lots of speculation about the Blue Beam buildings this time around... (Louis Wu 09:58:17 UTC) (permalink)
