c0ld Comfort
c0ld vengeance has apparently made his opinion about the 2-day European delay for Halo 2 known... and today's One One Se7en addresses his concerns. Sort of. (Louis Wu 10:38:42 UTC) (permalink)
Sunday Stories - and a Solution
Ten new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section... and a special-case instruction. Wado SG asked me how folks could submit their entries to the now-defunct Enkidu Fan Fiction contest and have them all be grouped together; I suggested using the Series Title field. Wado reminded me that this is normally tied to the author's name... so it's not settable on the submission form, as it currently exists. Rather than recode the form to allow for this special case, it would be easier for me if people submitting their Enkidu stories would simply drop me an email with the name of their story - I'll link them all from this end. Again - this is ONLY for this one special case. If you would like to submit your Enkidu entry to the HBO Fan Fiction section, and have it readable with all OTHER submitted entries - send me the name of the story after you submit it. Thanks!

If you didn't see it coming...
Sector Seven Halo has put up another installment of its Marines comic. I'm not sure I get it... (Louis Wu 10:22:57 UTC) (permalink)
MegaBattle Redux
The whole MegaBattle concept is being expanded over at the Gearbox Forums - check the top several threads for fantastic examples. A new technique, documented in this thread by king_nothing, allows for some incredible vehicle-in-air shots with multiple players inside. Again - this technique REQUIRES Halo Custom Edition; the detachable camera is not available in the stock Halo PC. C'mon... download it. You know you want to. (And once you do, jump online and look for some of the servers hosting great new maps.) (Louis Wu 10:15:45 UTC) (permalink)
HighLow - an impressive new map
I've run across a really nice Halo Custom Edition map in the last couple of days - this is absolutely worth your time if you've got HCE. (If you DON'T have HCE, and you're using a PC, you really need to ask yourself why not... it's free, the massive download is a one-time deal (an overnighter on dialup, but you only have to do it once), and it opens huge new vistas for online gameplay. (You can grab a copy from one of these links.) It was created by Tarehart, and is called called 'HighLow' - pics and a download link can be found on Gearbox's forum (thanks, rapture). Quite a lot of thought has been put into map flow, entrances and exits, routes to objectives, balance. Check it out! (It should be online on Assault-Server-TWD at some point.)
