Halo 1 Lanfest
Whoa. If you're pining for some good old-fashioned Halo 1 LAN action, check out this post on the High Impact Halo website. Kansas in mid-January... I hear it's cold, but you'll be inside. Thanks, Ducain. (Louis Wu 22:56:41 UTC) (permalink)
GoO review at IGN
IGN has reviewed Ghosts of Onyx - full of story spoilers, so don't read it until you've finished the book. Thanks, HaloPlanet. (Louis Wu 22:46:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Unchosen's Mjolnir Song
Last week, kinggun submitted the lyrics to a song a friend's band had written to our Fan Fiction section. Today, he sent us a recording of the song itself - you can grab an MP3 version of it from our servers (3.3 mb). I like it a lot! (Louis Wu 17:00:46 UTC) (permalink)
Flood Taxonomy
jman571 wrote up an article about Flood taxonomy after taking an AP Bio class. You can read it in our Miscellaneous section (there's a PDF download link if you'd rather read it offline). (Louis Wu 16:52:53 UTC) (permalink)
Playing A Blinder.
Sometimes, Stuntmutt takes a shot at Bungie. Sometimes, he takes a shot at himself. Today's One One Se7en takes a shot at the community... (Louis Wu 14:02:25 UTC) (permalink)
IGN grabs the crack pipe
A couple of days ago, IGN put up their own speculation story about the commercial; thanks to HaloPlanet for pointing this out. (Louis Wu 13:21:15 UTC) (permalink)
Oblivion mod opens public beta test
Brandon stopped by our forum to point out that he's released a public beta test for his mod for Oblivion (PC), called 'The Spartan Project'. (We last mentioned this mod in November.) If you've got a copy of Oblivion, check the forum post for requirements, and a download link! (Louis Wu 12:01:49 UTC) (permalink)
H2Vista supports DX9, but not DX10
This has been news for some time, but I'm not sure we've ever reported it - there's a news piece over at Gamepro that confirms that Halo 2 Vista will NOT support DirectX 10 visual effects. (This might come as a surprise to some, since it's a Vista-only game, and the justification for that, originally, was that Vista supported the effects that would make Halo 2 stand out, while older systems didn't. To these people, I'm not sure what to say that wouldn't sound overly cynical.) (Louis Wu 11:58:25 UTC) (permalink)
And then, 3 seconds later...
Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written up a frame by frame analysis of the TV ad; lots of detail. Much of this material has been hashed out on our forum (and others), but Narcogen does a good job of sticking to what we KNOW, rather than what we WANT, and he brings a pretty hefty body of knowledge of Bungie and the Halo series with him; this is worth reading by anyone who feels like speculating about what the various tidbits mean. In true Narcogen fashion, it's wordy. (Louis Wu 11:54:00 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie needs a new 3D Artist
This went live last night, but real life got in the way of posting it. Bungie has a new job posting online - they're looking for a 'Contract 3D Artist'. Wanna work on Halo 3? This is your chance! (Louis Wu 11:07:14 UTC) (permalink)
