Halo CE in the news
Rob Oplawar has started work on a new Halo CE Campaign level; you can check out the website devoted to it (which includes a movie of his progress so far). Get to reading! (Louis Wu 17:30:18 UTC) (permalink)
Ramping Up The Playability.
Bungie took note of things that didn't work in Halo, and came up with alternatives in Halo 2. Stuntmutt comments on one such alternative in today's One One Se7en. Groan protectors - ON! (Louis Wu 13:00:59 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic
16 new pieces (stories and poems) up in the Fan Fiction section today; two would have been deleted, but I thought they might help submitters remember that the formatting pseudocode is case-sensitive. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 12:24:59 UTC) (permalink)
7 Rings to rule them all
c0ld vengeance has ANOTHER 3d screenshot for you today; this one shows the 7 Halos from the hologram at the end of Great Journey. The standard QT movie lets you spin around them, while the QTVR version gives you a great view from any angle. QuickTime required, and be patient - this one's a bit larger than most (5-6 mb, depending on the version you pick). If you choose to see the QTVR version in-browser, the controls will remain greyed-out until the whole file is downloaded, so just hang on. (Louis Wu 11:50:40 UTC) (permalink)
RvB in the Daily News
Just Passing By noticed a small writeup of RvB in the New York Daily News - pretty mainstream stuff! (Louis Wu 04:09:02 UTC) (permalink)
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambunctious
This week's Halo Humpday Challenge was against the Cayote Cavegirls - if you don't know who they are, the writeup starts off with an interview of their lader [sic]. The overall result - a tie, no matter how KP tries to spin it; this brings Bungie's not-losing streak to 3. (Of course, their winning streak - of one - ended two matches ago, but who's really counting?) Go read the whole writeup - I missed this when it was posted, but Pazicles picked it up.

Fan-sponsored Wallpaper Contest
Over at Bungie.net, there's a news story about a Wallpaper contest; it's not specifically geared to Halo, but I'm guessing the majority of the entries will be Halo-related. (Small) cash prizes available for the winners - read the post (and the linked forum thread) for more details. (Louis Wu 03:41:16 UTC) (permalink)
