MLG St. Louis Writeup Online
Quick note before I dash out the door - swing by MLGPro.com for a great writeup of the MLG St. Louis event, from Dyslexia. This looks like a good time none of us should have missed! Thanks, Dolbex! (Louis Wu 21:47:28 UTC) (permalink)
RvB Walkthrough of Gemini Posted
Red vs Blue has posted a 6:22 walkthrough of Gemini - Burnie warns you that this might spoil the initial experience of playing the map, because it's so detailed, but if what you really want is to know how to get around, you can't beat this. Hi-res WMP9 is 49.6 mb, low-res is 14.6 mb. We'll have QuickTime versions up for you a bit later. Go watch! Thanks, meesta pink. Update: We've put up QuickTime versions now: Hi-Res (50.2 mb) | Lo-Res (22.8 mb). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 16:19:18 UTC) (permalink)
New Flythroughs Up
It's June 30, which means it's okay for us to post the final three map flythroughs that were created by Film Oasis for Bungie. You can find links for Backwash, Gemini, and Terminal on our Maptacular Vids page. Just a minute or so long each... but man, do they make you want to play these maps. Awesome stuff! Update: Apologies - the Terminal flyovers were named oddly - fixed now. Sorry! (Louis Wu 11:58:09 UTC) (permalink)
Lots of Movie Mirrors at TWTv
Feenix writes to point out that both massive versions of The Harvest 2 (wmp9 and quicktime) are mirrored over at That Weasel Television, and they've put up mirrors of the Film Oasis flythroughs - Containment, Warlock, Sanctuary, Turf, Relic, and Elongation. Always nice to have more mirrors! (Louis Wu 11:46:35 UTC) (permalink)
HaloCE work continues
HaloCE Updates, from MasterGrief: The Zelda: Ocarina of Time mod is coming along nicely (a magic meter, and new melee attacks with the sword) - you can see tons of new screenshots in this Gearbox Forum thread, and BitterBanana has created a much less buggy, more realistic chasecam - go download version 1.07. More people should play this game! (Louis Wu 11:41:36 UTC) (permalink)
Screenies - for those who missed 'em
I meant to mention this the other day, but forgot; I'm sure there are a few people who missed it. In the 'Relic Revealed' article over at Bungie.net, SketchFactor mentioned that new screenshots had been posted, as well. This has been true for ALL the map overviews, starting with Elongation. You can find three new pics of each map in Bungie's Screenshot section, starting on page 6. They're dated according to the writeup, so Elongation and Backwash are on June 22 (clearly, that's when the policy began), Terminal (four pics) on June 22, and Relic on June 28th. The action shot off Terminal ROCKS. (Louis Wu 11:37:53 UTC) (permalink)
Tastes Great! Less Filling!
IGN's posted a Grudge Match between Halo and Halo 2 - IGN editors duke it out over which is better. Thanks, Sir Jivealot. (Louis Wu 11:26:49 UTC) (permalink)
Where's their sense of History?
Gamespy is counting down the Top 25 Xbox Games of All-Time (hehe - or since 2001, I guess) - Halo made #6. Halo 2 hasn't been mentioned yet. Thanks, Spenser. (Louis Wu 11:17:24 UTC) (permalink)
