Back into the Breach
Mike Miller's Legendary Walkthrough grows by another chapter - Delta Halo is now posted. Sixteen vids will help you get through this gorgeous level in style. (Be sure to check the main page, as well; there are a few updates, most notably the Sword Flying information added yesterday.) Mike's not sure whether he'll make the Tuesday deadline for Regret... but whenever it comes out, it'll be worth the wait. (Louis Wu 17:19:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Respawn Times
A couple of years ago, folks sat down and timed the respawn intervals between various weapons and items on various multiplayer maps in the original Halo. We posted the findings in our Miscellaneous section. Now, MurderDog and some friends have done the same work for all the Halo 2 maps; for folks wondering how long they have to wait for that Rocket Launcher, this should help.

Geometric plates
Alan James continues his work on a Master Chief suit - the main body piece begins to be formed. You'll find the progress shown on his suit page. (Louis Wu 13:48:26 UTC) (permalink)
The Head
Fans ROCK. An anonymous one just sent me one of the coolest Halo gifts I've ever received - a Nightmare Armor helmet (shot 1 | shot 2). It's stuff like this that will finally get me to build a Halo display area in my office, I think. My week just got better. (Louis Wu 13:35:22 UTC) (permalink)
ILB Content Revisited
Saint has updated the Library with all of the I Love Bees wav files. If you've never listened to these, and never felt like looking for them, they're nicely organized in one place. (Hint for folks announcing stuff on our forum - you'll get more readers if you actually provide a LINK to the new content. Or even just to the site you're talking about, generally.)

J-U-M-P-S Tournament
Jump Tactics has announced a Jump Tournament - show off the best jumping skills, win stuff like controllers, T-Shirts, video hosting. You can read all the details at HALOChat, or on our forum. Competition starts in less than three weeks - get practicing! (Louis Wu 11:25:46 UTC) (permalink)
Playable Art
Wow, cool. OxYgEn, over at the Gearbox forums, has announced a new Halo CE map based on (of all things) a piece of Tina Leyk artwork. Check out the starting phases of Installation 07. Thanks, MasterGrief. (Louis Wu 11:16:39 UTC) (permalink)
Hearts and Minds
Brian Jarrard, aka SketchFactor, is still in Asia on a promotional tour for Halo 2 - he recently gave an interview to the DigiTimes.com, in Taiwan. It's a general piece, introducing Taiwanese readers to the phenomenon that is Halo 2. Nice little sketch of Sketch, though! (Louis Wu 11:12:55 UTC) (permalink)
