The Glide Dragon
Se7en One has put together a page on the 'Glide dragon', his name for the birds (or, I guess, insects, according to Se7en One) you can see on the Delta Halo and Regret levels of Halo 2. (Look closely - that's the HBO Helljumpers website, not HBO; they just use a design based on ours.) He also posted this info in our forum. Interesting collection of information gleaned from a few sightings! (Louis Wu 17:24:23 UTC) (permalink)

The road to good videogame-based movies
The New York Times has an article (registration required, don't forget about bugmenot.com) on the genre-melding of movies and video games, and it focuses on Peter Jackson as one of the prime players that is bringing cinematics to games, rather than the other way around. Halo, of course, is mentioned (although King Kong plays a bigger role in the piece). Interesting read. Thanks, Adam Daniel. (Louis Wu 16:30:45 UTC) (permalink)

Those Pelicans are NASTY.
c0ld Vengeance found a mod for Halo 2 that changes all enemy resources to UNSC resources - so that you're fighting marines, Pelicans, hogs and tanks. He put up a short vid showing a fun encounter - check it out! (The forum post contains a link to the mod as well, if you want to try it yourself - but remember that you have to have a modded Xbox to make this work. That link also contains a couple of movies - one showing this global war mod, the other showing a 'Betrayal' version where you're teamed up with Hunters against the rest of the Covenant.)
