Uprising - on Legendary
Sometimes, days just don't go as you plan. Mike Miller got the materials for his latest Legendary Walkthrough chapter, Uprising, in on time... but events here have conspired to keep me from posting the link. Go look at it; the man CONTINUES to blow me away. Sometimes it's because he's just so dang accurate with his grenade throws... but sometimes, it's because he comes up with a simple (yet to me, completely new) way of looking at a problem - and solving it. 13 videos, in either QuickTime or WMP9 formats, will get you through this beautiful but deadly level in multiple ways. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:39:33 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday's Fanfic
There are 27 new pieces up in the Fan Fiction section today; busy weekend for the writers. Go read! (Louis Wu 14:50:10 UTC) (permalink)
They'll never see it coming.
Strategy guides like Not So Common Sense are all well and good, but they can only take you so far. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to get that critical advantage. Now, Mr Kippling has revealed some of his most deadly secrets of clan match strategy. Go forth and dominate! (Count Zero 14:30:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Theme Tab
Calvin Chaos noticed a new tab for the Halo 2 Theme over at Mxtabs.net - if you play, go grab this! (Louis Wu 14:11:56 UTC) (permalink)
THAT wasn't supposed to happen...
Hehe - oops... If you visit the GameInformer preview we mentioned earlier, and head to the Media page, you'll find a 17.7 mb film labeled 'Sanctuary #2'. Somebody's gonna get yelled at - cause this ain't Sanctuary at all... it's Gemini, one of the five maps slated for release in late June. It's a really dark video, and if you don't grab it soon, it probably won't be there (I'm guessing as soon as someone realizes the booboo, it'll go bye-bye), but for the lucky few, this is a bonus attributable to human error. (Thanks to Apocalidiot and chaosknight514 for pointing this out - I wasn't going to watch the GI films until tomorrow.) (Louis Wu 03:22:50 UTC) (permalink)
New Map Media Frenzy
Wow, very nice - there are 28 new map pics over at Gamespot showing off the new levels; many gameplay shots, but also several overhead shots showing the full level layouts. (Thanks, Red Leader.) There's a written preview (with a movie - an interview with Brian Jarrard about the new material), as well. Not to be outdone, IGN has their own preview - some of the same screenshots (with the IGN watermark, of course, instead of the Gamespot one), plus 12 new vids (streaming for the masses, downloadable for IGN Insiders) showing off the first four maps. None of the new media is on Bungie.net yet (nor has anyone sent us copies behind the scenes) - but if we get our hands on un-watermarked copies, we'll be sure to post 'em. Update: looks like the shots are up at TeamXbox, too (with a smaller watermark than GS or IGN) - thanks, chaos recon. Update 2: GameInformer has a preview/media, too. (I'm sad - we're not on the right lists, I guess.) Thanks, Apocalidiot. (Louis Wu 00:56:36 UTC) (permalink)
Maptacular Monday!
In a move calculated to keep their post on our front page for the maximum time possible, Bungie has just posted a new top story, pinning down the new maps download date. (It's next Monday, April 25.) There are descriptions of the levels (if you missed them the first time around)... but the big news is clearly the date itself. (The maps passed certification today.) Today was Auto-Update day... next week is Map day! Get happy! (Louis Wu 00:23:52 UTC) (permalink)
