Yayap.com DS server - Halo CE goodness
DocOctavius stopped by the forum to point out the new Yayap.com Halo CE dedicated server, running 'most of the best Halo CE maps in various gametypes'. The entire map collection can be downloaded from the website - if you haven't played many of the Halo CE custom maps, here's a chance to see a whole bunch in one place!

Want a life-size MC? Hope you're Canadian...
If you're Canadian, go visit your local Blockbuster video; i fyou pre-purchase Halo 2 or Halo 2 LE before November 9th, you're entered to win one of four life-sized Master Chief statues. Details on this Promotions page. (I could find no similar page for US-based Blockbusters.) Thanks, D_BRINGER. (Louis Wu 21:31:24 UTC) (permalink)
Freeloaders Strike Back
Yaksha points out Sponsors vs Freeloaders Episode 2: Freeloaders Strike Back, a movie parodying the relationship between Red vs Blue sponsors and those who want hi-res versions of the videos without paying for them. It's 9 minutes long, 12.7 mb large, in WMP9 format. There's some explanation of what this is about (and links to the first episode) on their website. (Louis Wu 21:14:44 UTC) (permalink)
New images begin to appear
Rocketwidget pointed out a couple of new images; one is a small screenshot that can be seen on the EB Games page devoted to Halo 2 LE (it's a shot of the MC boarding a ghost being driven by a White Elite), and the second is over at GameWallpapers.com; it's an 'Exclusive for Registered Users' image ($14.95/year), a preview can be seen here. He found both of these over at the Xbox365 forum. (Louis Wu 20:19:49 UTC) (permalink)
Last Year's Pumpkins - Again on Display
Thanks a million to SketchFactor, who managed to find the pictures of last year's finalists for the Bungie.net Halo-ween contest (the inspiration for our very own 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest). You can see these - and maybe get some ideas - in our Guilt O' Lantern section. (Louis Wu 20:09:25 UTC) (permalink)
We Will... well, go watch it.
There's a new video from Ms Man - a whole series of funky glitches and tricks. 12:44 long, 14 mb, WMP9 format. Some really cool stuff in there. You can find a link to it in this forum post - if bandwidth runs out, drop us a note, we'll put up a copy. (Louis Wu 17:20:27 UTC) (permalink)
You can't stop the Internet...
The big news this weekend was a leaked commercial shown at an annual meeting of EB Games Store Managers, and filmed on the sly by one of the participants. Quality is AWFUL, but the content has been enough to galvanize Halo (and general Xbox) forums all over the web. It's clearly not out there with the blessing of those who made it, so I'm not going to post a link on the front page, but there are literally dozens of posts on our own forum with links to this small video, and other sites have put up mirrors for it; if you want to see this, finding it should be trivial. If you're one of those who thought that the new alien information in the most recent magazine articles was 'Spoiler' material, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO. As far as I know, this was intended to be released to the public sometime in the next few weeks (close to the end of October). This is NOT the video Frankie alluded to in Friday's Weekly Bungie Update - that is something totally different. If we get more info about this commercial, we'll be sure to pass it along.
