...and some tourneys.
Oops, almost missed this (because it morphed to its final form from a less news-worthy origin), but there's also a Tourney roundup at Bungie.net - see what's happening in your area! (Louis Wu 22:53:47 UTC) (permalink)
Is it Monday yet?
Weekly What's Update - it's big. Real big. The REAL news? The Autoupdate - the fix that will handle cheats, bugs, the like - is coming on Monday. Yes, THIS Monday. What else is in it? Well... that's what the WWU is all about. Go read. (Louis Wu 21:23:06 UTC) (permalink)
Where's PolitenessMan when you need him?
Insert25.com posted 'Twenty-Two Halo 2 Rules of Etiquette' - some are common sense, some are funny, some are... well, go read. Thanks, orion 12. (He likes rule 21.) (Louis Wu 16:36:52 UTC) (permalink)
Too Much Mountain Dew?
Stuntmutt continues the MD gag in today's One One Se7en. Yeah, he's a lightweight. (Louis Wu 15:20:33 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Dos and Don'ts
Another video has made it through our Movie Peer Review Rating System - this one comes from TWIXMIX and Stones174 (with a little help from Bob), and gives you some ideas about what to do, and not do, in Halo 2. Astoundingly small video for the length. It's over 7 minutes long, and weighs in at 8.5 mb in WMP9 format, or 9.3 mb in QuickTime format. (Louis Wu 15:17:12 UTC) (permalink)
Advanced Combat Techniques, Volume 1
Overswarm has put together Volume 1 of a video series he calls 'Advanced Combat Techniques - you can find the video (about 11 mb, depending on flavor) in the Movies section of his Not So Common Sense guide. There are some fantastic tricks in here - you might have died at the hands of a better player because of some of them, and now you can exact your revenge! Go watch.

Halo CE Chronicles now in QuickTime
Dennis Powers points out that QuickTime versions of all episodes of the Halo CE Chronicles are now online, in large and small sizes. If you've been waiting for a non-Flash, non-WMP9 format of these files... wait no more. (Louis Wu 14:22:13 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie vs HIH - Bungie's story
Eep - meant to post this last night... forgot. :( Sketch wrote up the Halo Humpday Challenge at Bungie.net this week - Frankie was locked out of not just the writeup, but the game itself. Ouch! There's an interesting tidbit at the bottom of the writeup... looks like we might get to hear about new maps next week! (Louis Wu 14:00:42 UTC) (permalink)
Spamtacular!
New content at Halo Babies today - the second half of the Spam comic series is up (hehe - made ME chuckle), and there's some non-Halo-related material from Gruntsbane, showing off what he does when he's NOT drawing the Babies. Go see! (Louis Wu 13:25:13 UTC) (permalink)
e-Blacks get ready to rumble
Gameplanet, in New Zealand, has more info about the winners of the Halo 2 competition in NZ last weekend (we mentioned it Sunday) - turns out the top 2 players are headed to Sydney, not just the top player. (Louis Wu 13:06:05 UTC) (permalink)
