Halogen Update
The C&C Generals TC Halogen has another update on its website - newly-skinned Warthogs, and a Wallpaper (busy, but cool to look at). Go check it out! (Louis Wu 20:49:57 UTC) (permalink)
2004 Xbox Live Awards

Open Rebellion Underway
Khas writes to tell us that there's a press release for 'Open Rebellion', a total conversion mod that wil convert all single player maps to an 'Elite' campaign for Mac Halo (and Halo PC), over at Macologist. There's also a report at Inside Mac Games, and an official forum set up by the team. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:44:10 UTC) (permalink)
Plantronics Review at Xbox Solution
Xbox Solution just reviewed the Plantronics Halo 2 headset. They gave it an 8/10, mostly because it's expensive - they liked it, otherwise. (Louis Wu 20:38:38 UTC) (permalink)
And with Credits, Fin
The Cutscene Library is now fully complete for Halo 2, with the inclusion, today, of the credits, as well as a separate download for just the small cinematic at the end of the credits. (The credits are available in printed form, in the Manual PDF, from either Bungie.net or Xbox.com, if you don't want to download a massive movie just for this.) At some point in the future, we'll be adding the Halo cutscenes to this library, as well. (Louis Wu 18:08:08 UTC) (permalink)
Marty on Audio
Marty O'Donnell and Jay Weinland are speaking about Audio Production for Halo 2 at the 2005 Game Developer's Conference. A promotional flyer for the conference contained a short interview with Marty - and thesoffish was kind enough to transcribe it on our forum. (Louis Wu 15:49:23 UTC) (permalink)
We're Being Watched
Red vs Blue Episode 46 has been posted for Sponsors - 60 mb of cold fission and salsa music, and a return of an old friend. (It looks, from recent entry in Burnie's journal, that they're back on track for a one-a-week release for the next few episodes.) Free versions should be available tomorrow.

Questions... and some answers.
A couple of months ago, mnemesis got the chance to ask Joe Staten a few questions about some of the thornier mysteries in the Haloverse. (Well, to be honest, he cornered Joe at a party, and wouldn't let him leave for the restroom without answering some stuff. I'm not sure I was supposed to tell you that part.) Anyway, swing by the Halo Story Page for a link - that Jillybean is on top of things already! (Louis Wu 02:12:54 UTC) (permalink)
