Delta Squad Ep 3 Trailer
Chronic V1RU5 has released a trailer for Episode 3 of their Delta Squad series. They won't be able to release the whole thing before the first of next month, for bandwidth reasons... but you can grab a 4.5 mb teaser right now (WMP9 format). Thanks, KingFarnox. (Louis Wu 21:14:03 UTC) (permalink)
Amateur Online league at MLG filling up
Recently, we mentioned the opening of a pair of online leagues over at MLGPro.com - looks like the Amateur league is already over half-filled. If you're interested in playing in this, get over there and sign up! (Louis Wu 21:10:14 UTC) (permalink)
Anti-Cheating Website
Cheated online, but don't know where to turn? Check out StopStandby.com, a website run by an extremely persistent webmaster who wants to help you get your story out. (Bungie has said that the Standby problem will pretty much disappear after the online patch they're releasing in the next few weeks - but as TheSPFXmaN, Project Lead for Stop Standby, says, cheating will never go away, and they'll be here to help expose it in whatever form it takes.)

Halo Action Figure Auction
Josh sent us email about an auction he's got going on eBay - every Halo 2 action figure released to date (plus a few Halo figures, as well). There's some rare stuff here - the Civilian Hog, several limited edition models... it's a big package. (16 full-size figures, plus two mini packs, and a Halo watch, all in all.) Starting bid is $475, plus $60 shipping. (This is considerably higher than list price - but many of these items can't be bought at ANY price, any more.) You've got a little less than 5 days to decide. (Louis Wu 20:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
TheGhost's Halo 2 Montage
TheGhost put together a montage video; halofreak4567 posted a link on our forum. It's a nice montage - great timing, good gameplay - so we've mirrored both the original WMP9 version (23.1 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org) as well as a QuickTime version (23.8 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org). Grab what works best for you! (Louis Wu 14:57:54 UTC) (permalink)
What were they thinking?
Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written a piece looking at your options in terms of the new Downloadable Content announced yesterday. He suggests that the plan actually borders on common sense. (He means that in a GOOD way.) (Louis Wu 12:54:48 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2v2 (plus racing stuff) in NY
On April 9, Xtournaments will be running a Halo2 2v2 tourney in Smithtown, NY - details can be found on this page. (They're also running Gran Tourismo 4 Time trials for the Red Bull Driver Search on the same day - win a chance to race a real Formula 1 car!) If you live near New York City, check this out.

Pimp it
retsamolah has posted 'Shameless Self-Promotion', a montage vid in widescreen. 41.6 mb, QuickTime format. Not quite up to the machine-like standards of some of the pro players... but there are some nice kills. He's listed a pair of mirrors in this post, and Hawk7886 added a third in this one. Gotta love Dire Straits soundtracks... (Louis Wu 12:29:16 UTC) (permalink)
Not So Common Sense - Coming Soon
Over on the Bungie.net forums, Overswarm has been making a name for himself with a strategy guide, presented in forum posts, called 'Not So Common Sense'. He came to us with a proposal - that he codify this guide, organize it, and that we give it a permanent home here at HBO. Seemed like a pretty reasonable idea - so look for his articles to begin appearing soon. To whet the appetite, he put together a teaser vid - you can grab a copy in WMP9 (8.2 mb) or QuickTime (7.2 mb) formats. Music is 'Secret', by Linkin Park. (Louis Wu 12:21:16 UTC) (permalink)
The return of an old favorite
Hawaiian Pig has revisited his RvB Set Pieces, with a new batch of 5 shots from recent episodes. Fun! (Louis Wu 12:03:37 UTC) (permalink)
Last Stand IA 1
Phoenix_9286 posted an Informational Announcement for his Last Stand comic series, over on DeviantART. The Elites behind the characters... (Louis Wu 12:01:38 UTC) (permalink)
