PumaHog's Toy Soldiers Trailer Released
PumaHog Productions has released its Toy Soldiers Series Trailer - an introduction to their upcoming machinima series. I'm likin' the Elite. Check it out! 25-36 mb, depending on format (WMP9 and MPEG1 available). (Louis Wu 20:38:17 UTC) (permalink)
MC Helmet Progress
corpseguy has posted an update for his MC Helmet (we mentioned this yesterday) - it's now painted. Looks great! (Louis Wu 20:15:20 UTC) (permalink)
IGN's Top 100
IGN has posted their Top 100 Games of All Time - Halo makes the top third. Thanks, DPowers90. (Louis Wu 20:12:51 UTC) (permalink)
MC Kicks Elite Butt
Ross Gemuend is working on a rendered animation - MC vs some Elites. I can't watch the second one (the combination of WMP9 encoding and an AVI format seems to make it unwatchable on a Mac - but if you're on a PC, it's the bottom link, labeled 'MC Vs Elites'), but the first one has been locally mirrored (for the original DivX-encoded AVI), converted to QuickTime, and sped up - because Ross mentioned that he originally planned it to be 4 times as fast, but slowed it down for detail. You can find all links in his first post. Farther down in the thread, 7he One converts it to WMP9 format, and adds sound - quality suffers a bit, but the sound is a nice touch. Check this out!

Rocket Part 1
Reinsoft has whipped up another rap parody - this one is called Rocket Part 1, and is set to R. Kelly's 'Closet Part 1'... you can find it in this forum post. 3:22 long, 2.7 mb, MP3 format (or streaming). (Louis Wu 19:46:22 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Nationals 2 First Day Results
There's a ton of info over at MLGPro.com about results from yesterday's competition at Halo Nationals 2 - more coming today, including full writeups, but for basic info about who won - swing by their front page! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 13:56:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halogen Update (our last for a while)
There are more updates over at the Halogen site - there's apparently a video (Safari refuses to recognize the 'Forum' link, so I can't see it), and info about some new units. Since they plan to update every couple of days, please take this news post as an indication that if you're interested in this conversion, you should visit every couple of days - we're going to pass on posting a 'there's new stuff' note two or three times a week. And maybe, MAYBE, they'll fix the Flash so that it's visible in more browsers... thanks, logical2u. (Louis Wu 13:52:41 UTC) (permalink)
Now THAT'S new.
We don't usually post trick stuff any more - High Impact Halo does such an amazing job covering that whole field that stepping in seems like trespassing - but yesterday, something pretty darn cool got posted to our forum... something that I couldn't pass up. KadeshSa gave us a movie showing a nice hog launch on Assault on the Control Room. Big deal, you say? You've seen a million of 'em? Yeah, well... how many have you seen where the launcher was SARGE? The vid's only about 6 and a half megs, available in both WMP9 and QuickTime formats - the thread starts here, download links are in this post. (Louis Wu 13:40:49 UTC) (permalink)
Cleaning out the Inbox
The Weekly What's Update went up as expected last night - it's been a quiet week, so this one basically covers some common questions Bungie gets. Some decent clarifications - Action Replay is fine if you use it to transfer unmodified game saves, for example - and some good 'nice to know' stuff. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:21:22 UTC) (permalink)
