Master Chief Art, from Toyfare
Guardians found an as-yet-unlinked-here image by Greg Horn, an artist who creates pieces for Toyfare magazine (among other places). We mentioned a couple of other pieces of his last year - but the BR shot is new to me, at least. Nice work! (Louis Wu 18:45:20 UTC) (permalink)
Another Wearable Suit - REALLY high-quality
Holy... Webshift just wrote to tip us off to Briar's Armor, a website devoted to armor replicas of various sci-fi characters. The Halo stuff is amazing. Doesn't look like it's for sale (yet) - but keep an eye on it! (Louis Wu 17:53:23 UTC) (permalink)
RvB-created walkthrough of Backwash
Very cool. Over at Red vs Blue, Burnie Burns, who created walkthroughs of the first four downloadable maps a couple of months ago, is repeating the effort with the newer maps. A walkthrough of Backwash (41 mb in hi-res WMP9 format, 19 mb in low-res WMP9) is now available for sponsors (thanks, Sharky) - should be on the main page (for everyone) in the not-too-distant future. And as soon as we can, we'll have QuickTime versions up for you, as well. Good stuff! Update: The WMP9s are available for everyone now at RvB. Still working on the QTs. Update 2: QuickTimes are now available on our server - Hi-Res (43.3 mb) | Lo-Res (19.7 mb). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 17:14:07 UTC) (permalink)
The Mister Chief comment is spot on.
Ben Ritter (aka BitMaP) posted a spoof CNN article yesterday - pretty funny jabs at both EA and Bungie. (GameJunkieJim also reposted it over at Bungie.net.) Give it a read! (Louis Wu 17:07:21 UTC) (permalink)
CurrentFilm looks at Halo 2
Aaron Beierle has written a review of Halo 2 for CurrentFilm.com - plot gets a 9/10, the DVD gets 9.5/10, Sound gets 10/10 (go, Marty and co!). Check it out. (Louis Wu 17:02:20 UTC) (permalink)
Killtacular Pack Maps on XBL - now free.
Whoa. Very cool. For anyone who didn't buy Sanctuary and Turf when they came out - it seems they're available now, for free, in the Content Download section of XBL. Go get 'em! Thanks, Echohammer419. (Louis Wu 15:36:03 UTC) (permalink)
You Should See Him Move A Piano.
Stuntmutt continues to take shots at his HBO Helljumper buddies (or maybe himself, hard to tell) in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:09:55 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Morning Lit
Fifteen new stories in the Fan Fiction section today - looks like writers were also busy this weekend! (And I'm happy to see the page is now working correctly... story processing is much easier on the new system, so I'm a happy camper.) (Louis Wu 15:05:37 UTC) (permalink)
Cheaters - looks like your time has come
Looks like someone's been busy this weekend; many, many people who've been cheating using modded maps are now banned from Halo 2 Matchmaking. A recent example can be found in this forum post by pwn4ge, a member of the PraetoriaGuard clan - they were cheated in a Containment game (they even filmed it - I'm waiting to hear if I'm allowed to link to the film; I'll update this news post if I am), and the cheater is now demonstrably gone from Matchmaking. Nice! Update: The movie, showing the cheating (33.5 mb, WMP9 format) can be found on the PraetoriaGuard website. That's some fast running! (Louis Wu 14:52:52 UTC) (permalink)
