Ogre 1 and 2 Win WCG Halo 2 Championship
Congrats to Team3D - the Ogre brothers have won the Halo 2 Grand Final at the World Cyber Games in Singapore, beating Team EG from Canada! They're going home with $20,000 because of this win. Full details can be found at the Team3D website - and thanks to Jeff Horn for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:27:14 UTC) (permalink)
Waiting for Good-o
An article in today's Boston Globe suggests that games won't really take advantage of the Xbox360's hardware for a while - and they use Halo 2 as an example of this phenomenon. (This isn't really news, I don't think - it's common sense - but maybe folks just aren't thinking about it enough.) Thanks, Hanchen Lu. (Louis Wu 21:19:01 UTC) (permalink)
Advantage: 360
TeamXbox compared Halo 2 running on an Xbox360 through an S-Video cable to Halo 2 running on an Xbox through an S-Video cable - and they were pretty surprised to find that there's a sizeable difference. Their results suggest that Halo 2 will look better running on an Xbox360, no matter WHAT you're playing it on (well, I guess they didn't test standard composite video). Nice! Thanks, Tempus Fugit.

The Lekgolo eel
Se7en One has put together an article, written in the style of a soldier's journal, on the worms that make up the hunter. Any comments can be tossed into this forum thread. Odd stuff! (Louis Wu 21:00:53 UTC) (permalink)
Nokturnal's Montage
Z points out another vid over at Halo2Forum.com - Nokturnal has created a heavily effect-laden montage, more than 10 minutes long, weighing in at a massive 178 mb. What can I say? (Louis Wu 20:56:27 UTC) (permalink)
Take your Halo news with you.
Mintz pointed out that there's a TON of new content over at Halo: Portable - if you've got a PSP, swing by and see what you can read on it. (The latest Weekly Update is even there.) (Louis Wu 14:35:52 UTC) (permalink)
First on the front page. Ha.
Weekly Update is up at Bungie.net, posted by some jet-setter or something. Xbox360 launch, DOA4 stuff, playlists. And an oldschool Mister Chief. Go read. (Louis Wu 01:50:41 UTC) (permalink)
