B.net Avatar Contest Results
SketchFactor has announced the winners (and not-so-winners) of the Bungie.net Avatar contest that's been going on this past month. There's some great stuff (and not so great stuff) to be seen - check it out! Thanks to Sep7imus for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:12:00 UTC) (permalink)
New Mombasa Pics
Whoa, missed it. Mrs Doublefire updated his long-dormant New Mombasa thread on the Gearbox forum with seven new screens - take a look! (Thanks to HaloPlanet for noticing this.) (Louis Wu 19:24:16 UTC) (permalink)
New Goodies from Joyride
Joyride has updated its site again, with more pictures - the yellow civilian hog mentioned in its printed material now has some information - it'll be limited to 2000 pieces, and will be available in October. Check the Halo 2 page, and click 'Hog'. There are also pictures of the newest Battle-Damaged exclusives in the Halo section (look at the bottom). I can see Cobalt and Maroon being used in upcoming Miniature Halo episodes... We get a lot of mail about Joyride changes (and don't post notes about all of them) - but I think first mention of the yellow hog pic goes to A Halo 2 Logo, and lbm mentioned the new BD pics. Thanks!

Halo Custom Edition... in limbo
Ow. A note on our forum points out that Randy Pitchford has made an announcement on the Gearbox forum that there will be no Halo CE updates in the near future - work on the project was contingent on market penetration, and to date, Halo CE adoption has been disappointing. This is definitely a blow to those looking to improve the Custom Edition product... (As far as I can tell, c0ld vengeance had nothing to do with this news post.) Update: STB pointed out a thread that brings ALL of his posts into one place - taken as a whole, it's far more positive than the first post we mentioned. Read the thread.

aotcr_b - a multiplayer map
Yesterday, nukedude posted notice that his AotCR to multiplayer map release was out of beta and ready for final release. I visited the download page, but there were no screenshots - so I asked. nuke delivered. Check it out - this is a gorgeous map! (Louis Wu 15:11:18 UTC) (permalink)
Gurgling in the dark
Rockslider posted a new Frontline with Suzie yesterday - this one has Suzie talking to the Flood. Weird - I didn't know they COULD talk! (Louis Wu 15:01:27 UTC) (permalink)
How Animations Happen
Ever wonder about the process it takes to go from an idea to a modeled animation in a game like Halo? Gamepro has put up a short article explaining the steps, from storyboard to finished product. Take a look! (Louis Wu 01:20:53 UTC) (permalink)
Dynasty-style bitch fight
This week's update is over at the newly remodeled HaloPlanet - and there's more and more censored stuff. (Some weird formatting, too.) Lots of cool tidbits that we CAN read, though, like 15,107 FINISHED LINES of combat dialogue... and female marines! Go read. Update: Weird formatting is fixed - thanks, Frankie!
