I'd Say More Like Stone Cold...
One One Se7en looks at a recent Bungie Weekly Update - MC shows that you can dress him up, but you can't take him out. (Louis Wu 22:57:04 UTC) (permalink)
Handle With Care Contents Fragile
Bah. I hate forgetting. It's still today... for a little while longer. Today's Halo: Resolution has the cardboard box meeting up with... trouble. (Louis Wu 22:56:32 UTC) (permalink)
MC Bust
Wow. NeoFreak posted some pictures of a Master Chief bust he made a while ago out of Sculpey - I'd find a spot for that in MY home! Beautiful. (Louis Wu 21:38:51 UTC) (permalink)
Miscellaneous Art - The Beginning
Wow. It's been a LONG time since the Miscellaneous Art section was updated. I decided it was time to stop putting it off... I process 86 entries today. Neither the server, nor folks on slower connections, can handle that kind of load, though, so I'm going to release them in 30-image batches. They're currently sorted by author (first name, because many people submit with just a one-name alias), not submission date (it was too much work to figure out what came from where) - so if you've submitted Miscellaneous Art in the past 3 months, and your name begins with A or B, your material is up now. Tomorrow I'll post C through P, and Saturday will be R through Z. It's going to be so nice to have an empty queue! Apologies to EVERYONE involved. This batch is primarily sketches - go see what's there! (Louis Wu 21:28:39 UTC) (permalink)
Bowing to public demand...
Okay, I wasn't going to add yesterday's mini-update to the Weekly Bungie Update Archive... but it turns out Frankie even created new Mister Chief artwork... how could I pass it up? The (tiny) item is now part of the official record. Sheesh. (Thanks, Jager.) (Louis Wu 09:36:26 UTC) (permalink)
Trautmann is moving on
Eric Trautmann has updated his blog with the information that he won't be involved in any future Halo projects for Microsoft. As he says,
"...it feels reaaaaaally weird to know that things like hypothetical novels or comics or whatnot will happen on someone else's watch."
Trautmann has been a guiding force on Halo novels and the like from the beginning; for the fans, too, there will be a shift. We'll miss you, Eric! (Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for finding this.) (Louis Wu 09:02:56 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Print Ad Redux
TeamXbox has posted higher-res versions of the first Halo 2 ad (we posted lower-res scans on Sunday) - stop by if you want a better look! Thanks, LaMuerte. (Louis Wu 01:29:55 UTC) (permalink)
A close look at Oddball
Sparky has written the second of his series of Guides - this one is a Guide to Oddball. (The first can be found here - it was a guide to vehicle handling.) It (and the rest of the series) has found a permanent home at Rampancy.net - this is ideal, because the format gives people an opportunity to comment and augment. This guide is another great read - there are general tips about Oddball, and then specific comments about each multiplayer map, with respect to the gametype. Good stuff! Thanks to Narcogen for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:20:17 UTC) (permalink)
On The Battlefield
Sep7imus has whipped up a fun morale booster for the Covenant home front - a 3:08, 11.2 mb QuickTime video that gives those left behind a reason to cheer for their soldiers! You can find copies on files.bungie.org and mythica.org. (Louis Wu 01:13:32 UTC) (permalink)
