Halo news back Monday, May 2, 2005 Halo news forward

Halo CE turns One
Thursday marks the one year anniversary of Halo CE, and Sir Bobbington and friends are organizing a party. You can read about it on the Gearbox forums - join 'em online and see if you can help push the player total over 1000 simultaneous users! (Louis Wu 22:29:07 UTC) (permalink)

The future of moneymaking
Walshicus pointed out a BBC article looking at future revenue streams for game-makers (using Halo 2, and the new maps, as an example). This is a bit misleading; Bungie is hardly the first Xbox developer to charge for after-release content... but I suppose when you're one of the biggest, folks notice. And the concept of micro-transactions for weapons upgrades, new armor, whatever... that HAS been a hot topic of discussion recently, at least among those who see a chance to make large sums of money doing it. (To me, these two ideas - microtransactions and major downloads like new maps - are completely separate, and shouldn't really be considered the same sorts of money-making material.)

Team 3D Interview at MLGPro
MLGPro.com has posted an interview with Team 3D - formerly StK, one of the best-known pro Halo teams on the circuit. Ever wonder what makes these guys tick? Go read. Thanks, Quinion. (Louis Wu 20:14:49 UTC) (permalink)

I Say, I Say, I Say...
Today's One One Se7en is slightly less appropriate than it would have been before the Auto-Update kicked in... but any reference to 'My Old Man's A Dustman' is okay with me. (Louis Wu 13:48:57 UTC) (permalink)

Perplexity
Veegie posted a note on our forum about a new HaloCE map he's been working on - there are pictures over the EPG forums. Lots of cool dynamic lighting! Take a look. (Louis Wu 12:59:12 UTC) (permalink)

Necrosis Ep 1 released
GrantBauer88 posted a note that Necrosis Episode 1 has been released - you can find it on the Necrosis video page. It's the first Halo machinima I know about that takes advantage of our Dialogue Databank to circumvent the problem many projects have with less-than-professional-sounding voice acting. (At least, I'm ASSUMING the clips came from the Databank; there's no credit for them anywhere, so I suppose they could have been recorded independently.) 7.6 mb, WMP9 format.

MLG Orlando footage posted
The first wave of MLG Orlando gameplay (the last pre-AutoUpdate Halo 2 gameplay footage out there, probably) has been posted on MLG's Video on Demand service - you can watch Str8 Rippin upset Check 6, or follow the Winners Bracket Finals. (There's more coming in a few days.) Thanks to 3Suns for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:05:32 UTC) (permalink)

New Prometheus Update
Nick writes to point out that Prometheus, the Halo/Halo2/HaloCE editor in production, has another update, with screenshots, sarcasm, and a small vid. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:01:35 UTC) (permalink)
