TIE Ep 12
Red Leader says there's a new This Island Earth up. Go check. (Louis Wu 20:28:09 UTC) (permalink)
IE toolbar from H2Press
H2Press.net has released a toolbar for Windows Internet Explorer - it adds handy links to a variety of Halo-related RSS feeds, as well as direct buttons to fansites and bungie.net. Read about (and find download links) on their forum. (Louis Wu 20:07:42 UTC) (permalink)
Biped addition tool for HaloCE
rec0, over on the Gearbox forums, has released a tool for adding new bipeds (and other characters) into HaloCE. You can find a download link (and basic instructions) in this thread. Thanks, MasterGrief. (Louis Wu 20:05:28 UTC) (permalink)
New Multiplayer Map Resources
Kaboris pointed out a page on the Xbox.com Japan site (I can't find a corresponding page yet on the main Xbox.com site) touting the multiplayer map pack. it's got a bunch of screenshots that haven't been released (legally) anywhere else yet, and walkthrough vids of the first four maps (a lot like the ones Red vs Blue made, except without voiceover, explaining what you're looking at, and only available to PCs - the movies won't play on macs.) Go look! Update: Jimmy points out that those ARE the RvB movies - minus Burnie's voiceover. (Louis Wu 18:42:51 UTC) (permalink)
Console Yourself.
You knew it was only a matter of time before One One Se7en started taking potshots at the new consoles... (Louis Wu 15:10:57 UTC) (permalink)
Insurrection, Remixed
nof found a superiffic new Halo remix over at OverClocked ReMix this morning - it was posted a couple of weeks ago, but this is the first we've heard of it. It's a reworking of 'Insurrection', and while it sounds a lot like the original, there are also some pretty cool additions. Check it out! (And no, we don't think there's any such word as 'superiffic' - nor would we ever use such a thing, normally... we were goaded into it by the Gnawfster.) (Louis Wu 15:07:56 UTC) (permalink)
AotCR - Cutscened.
Half of Halo's levels are now documented in the Halo Cutscene Library - the two scenes from Assault on the Control Room were added today. (Chester The Destroyer also posted a couple of bloopers he recorded at some point, when he was working on recording cutscenes he never submitted to us - the second one is pretty cool!)

A Montage - and a reason to watch them
A few days ago, we mentioned a high-quality montage vid released on Halo2Forum.com. It was submitted to our Movie Peer Review Rating System, as well - and has passed. If you already grabbed the ginormous WMP9 version at halo2forum.com, you can pass on this - but if you haven't, you might want to take a look. The thread referenced in that previous post is full of people complaining that Vrbas isn't a spectacular-enough Halo player to warrant praise for the montage - but I'd disagree. He's good - but that's not really the point. The point is that he made a really well-constructed montage; very, VERY high quality visuals, beautiful timing, interesting footage. Whether he's good enough to win MLG St. Louis is irrelevant - most of the people playing in that tournament can't come close to making a montage this enjoyable to watch. We're offering a 66 mb QuickTime version (bungie.org | mythica.org) - if you can't stand QuickTime, the links are still up for the 110+ MB WMP9, over at Halo2Forum.com. (If they go down, we can BitTorrent it - but I don't think we can handle a direct download of that size at this time.) Update: HaloChat has secured some hosting for both versions at FileFront - think big, big pipes. Go grab. Update 2: That Weasel Television has mirrors of both versions, as well - thanks, Feenix!

Darth Chief
There's a new Halo Babies posted today - comes with a spoiler warning for Star Wars III, but it's pretty funny if you've seen the movie. (Louis Wu 12:18:13 UTC) (permalink)
