Subnova Woes
Ouch. Subnova has lost its bandwidth, due to lack of payment. Some of its content, like last week's Bungie Update, is still accessible - much is not. A major downside for HBO visitors... the subsections that Subnova hosted for us have to be relocated. This has been done for MOST sections - but Fan Fiction is offline until we can find a way to move it to a different machine. Apologies to all writers out there. (Louis Wu 17:12:04 UTC) (permalink)
They Find Us
Wonga. Blackstar, long-known for his talent at making wonderful Halo spots, has turned his skills to Halo 2. His 29.5 mb, 640x480, 1:04 Halo 2 Spot (QuickTime format) uses Bungie-released Halo 2 footage... but makes you want this game. NOW. Go grab a copy. If this post floods BSP.net with more traffic than it can handle, grab a mirrored copy at Mythica. Thanks to KP for the heads-up. Update: There's now a smaller version (320x240, 4.3 mb) for folks on a tighter connection: mirrors on files.bungie.org and blackstarproductions.net. (Louis Wu 14:25:04 UTC) (permalink)

For the 2 of you that don't have it yet...
Chilton Webb found another site with the E3 Halo 2 demo footage, with no signup required. 320x240, 14 mb total, WMP9 format. Check out GamesRadar. (Louis Wu 12:44:38 UTC) (permalink)
The War of the Worlds, Halo-style
Gre'Thor117 created a Halo movie for an English class; got a pretty good grade. It didn't meet our posting guidelines, but SancheztheLlama was kind enough to host it. It's 10.1 mb, in QuickTime format. Footage from the first two Halo 2 trailers, combined with overlain text and Edgen music. You can grab it on STL.com. Update: wow, looks like this was pretty popular. CJ has run out of bandwidth, and has taken it down. Sorry! (Louis Wu 12:41:26 UTC) (permalink)
Cheap Halo
Price breaks: Halo PC at Circuit City is currently $9.99 (WOW) - thanks, Recoil, and Halo 2, shipped, is only $43.49 at Overstock.com. (The Limited Edition there is $52.49 shipped, a couple of bucks cheaper than most places. It's unlikely you'll get it on November 9, though.) Thanks, rywateska. (Louis Wu 12:33:06 UTC) (permalink)
Homefront progress
The Battlefield: Vietnam mod Homefront has put up a large update over on Battleground: Halo; new weapons, new vehicles, new skins, new map. Go check it out. (Louis Wu 12:24:18 UTC) (permalink)
Ultimate Halo Tricks DVD - finished
Back in March, we mentioned a DVD being put together by XBCTourneys, containing many tricks for Halo multiplayer. We just got word from Annihil8or that it's finished.220 tricks, 1 hour and 5 minutes of content, 4 gb on disc. You can order it here. (I've never seen it, so I can't tell you what's on the disc - and though there are sample links on the main page, they don't work in many browsers.) (Louis Wu 12:21:20 UTC) (permalink)
