MLG Takes SF By Storm
It's September 10, so it must be almost time for The Battle of the Bay to kick off. Check out MLGPro.com for all the details! (Louis Wu 23:00:34 UTC) (permalink)
1UPped
1UP.com (the web presence of EGN, XBM, and CGW) has put up a preview based on THEIR visit to Bungie last month. Lots of tasty info, including snippets others missed. Check it out. Thanks, Druff. (Louis Wu 22:35:53 UTC) (permalink)
GameDaily Weighs In
GameDaily has posted their own impressions article based on the press visit last month. It's a solid read, with focus on ranking and clan play. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:50:27 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Hands-On, Part 2
IGN has posted the second half of its Hands-on report; rather than give you a new URL, it just tacked on 4 more pages. A nice summary of all the maps, as well as gametype descriptions (and the obligatory whine about the lack of Single player info). Good read. Go do it. Thanks, GhaleonEB.

Mac Halo again at Parity with HaloPC
MacSoft has issued a new patch for Mac Halo - this one brings the Mac version back into parity with its PC counterpart. You can read the Press Release here; I can't find the updater yet on either of the other two sites listed, so you might just want to grab it from one of our mirrors.

Sketch and Frankie talk Beta
Gamespot has put up a Developer Interview - 4 and a half minutes of info from SketchFactor and Frankie discussing exactly what was available to the press who showed up to play some Halo 2 last month. There's also info about the ranking system. It's available for download for Gamespot Complete members, but mostly it's these guys talking, overlaid on top of stock footage; you don't lose much by checking out the free streaming version. Definitely worth a listen! (There's even a bit on the Plantronics headset!) To find this interview, check out the GameSpace page for Halo 2 - down in the 'Gamespot Exclusive Movies', it's the second one down. (Louis Wu 18:06:32 UTC) (permalink)
Nightmare Armor - In Living Color, Again
Tom King, from Cerberus, the hosts for Nightmare Armor's website, points out on our forum that the Nightmare Armor videos, which had gone offline for bandwidth reasons, are now all back up and downloadable. If you missed any of the cool footage, go check it out! (Louis Wu 17:11:28 UTC) (permalink)
White Button Blues
Yeah, yeah... in the midst of all this Halo 2 goodness, that Stuntmutt HAS to get his digs in. 6 in a row, even. It's okay, though, he's covering OTHER games in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:13:11 UTC) (permalink)
He's Gearing Up...
Captain Spark has opened a Halo 2 dialogue center, in preparation for the huge flood of recording he's planning to do in a few months. At the moment, it's got a bunch of modified screenshots he's put together... quite pretty. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:53:53 UTC) (permalink)
FAQs and Statistics
Narcogen has taken quite a bit of information from the new Hands-On articles, and already incorporated it into the Rampancy.net Halo 2 FAQ. Busy busy! (Louis Wu 13:35:30 UTC) (permalink)
Famous Last Words
Oh m'gosh! Mister Chief has gone ribs. X-eyes are never good... Go read Halo Babies today. (Louis Wu 13:30:08 UTC) (permalink)
Hands, hands, and more hands.
And the writeups continue to pour in - Gamespot has put up a 7-page in-depth view, and Gamespy has posted 4 pages of Hands-On feedback. Here at HBO, our very own mnemesis whipped up his own impressions on our forum. They're gonna be coming all day, folks, so take it slow. (Me, I'm off to get some sleep.) (Louis Wu 07:39:56 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Gets their Hands Dirty
And the media flood commences. IGN has posted the first half of its Beta Hands-On experience at Bungie Studios last month - three pages of goodness. Go read. (Louis Wu 07:06:44 UTC) (permalink)
Following the Big One
IGN Xbox has a 6-page article on what it's like to cover Halo 2, the 'most anticipated game of all time'. Interesting read. Look for far more content in the next couple of days; the media embargo that was set to be lifted on September 15 will now lift in 4 hours - at 12:01 am PST Friday. (We'll have a couple of writeups of our own, I should think... though I'm not sure when they'll get posted.) And those juicy hi-res screenshots that went up a bit early yesterday will be available again. Thanks, Oddworld. (Louis Wu 03:05:55 UTC) (permalink)
