Strongside discusses his new digs
Strongside has become the newest member of Final Boss, one of the top Halo pro teams - if you swing by MLGPro.com, you can listen to an audio interview with him. Check it out! Thanks, Tyger. (Louis Wu 23:52:07 UTC) (permalink)
Unintended Consequences
Mister Froggy has posted Halo, Articulated #25 - that Arbiter sure is a whiny one! (Louis Wu 23:48:05 UTC) (permalink)
The Condemned - Machinima Contest
Machinima.com is running a new contest, in honor of the upcoming flim 'The Condemned'. (The movie is about a reality game where 10 hardened criminals fight to the death for the right to be pardoned.) Submit a machinima video telling them why you should be one of ten Condemned, win cool prizes. (nVidia graphics cards and Lionsgate prize packs are up for grabs.) "Using any game of your choice, show us why are you so bad...show us your gameplay or show us what did you do to be convicted and ultimately chosen to be on the island...be creative, be tough, be the chosen one..." Halo seems like an obvious choice for this puppy. Swing by and read the official rules - and get your entry in by April 15! (Louis Wu 18:50:11 UTC) (permalink)
S'tat.
Bungie.net revised the stats you can see when it was revamped last week - Stuntmutt realized that there might be more going on behind the scenes than we knew. See today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 13:25:11 UTC) (permalink)
A Cog in the UNSC
Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written up the first part of a comparison between Gears of War and Halo - observations about the two games, how they do things differently (or the same), and why one route might be better than the other. An interesting read, though full of Gears spoilers. Give it a look! (Louis Wu 11:09:26 UTC) (permalink)
HaloGrid Heads-Up Widget
finalcuthalo let us know that he's created a Mac OSX Widget (to be used in the Dashboard) which will show you the latest HaloGrid news - it can save you the trouble of opening a browser to view the HG front page. Grab a copy from this forum thread. (Louis Wu 10:32:21 UTC) (permalink)
Fantasy Halo Part Two
Wow. We just a few hours ago learned of Fantasy Halo - and Part Two has now been released. (Granted, Part One was released 3 days before anyone told us about it, but still...) Part Two (Original Chaos Films link | HaloGrid link) is for the most part a story-telling episode, so the RPG style doesn't work quite as well (there's a lot of standing around, a lot of reading) - but it's still well-done, and makes me want to see part 3. Again, we're mirroring the WMP9 version (12:17 long, 53.8 mb), and are providing a QuickTime version (53.4 mb) - and again, you're better off with the WMP9 if you can watch it. Thanks to FinalCutHalo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:41:53 UTC) (permalink)
Maptacular
Dennis Powers pointed out a TON of new Halo CE maps available at Halomaps.org - you can browse them by visiting the HaloCE maps section (they're already sorted by date), but he wanted to point out Hydrolysis (we mentioned it yesterday, but there are a couple of great screenshots on the Halomaps page), along with 5 from FireDragon04: Cliffrun, Cliffedge, Escalade Mount, Pellude, and Enclosed. On top of those there's a lava level from Stuntman (Olympus Mons) and two from first-time mapmakers - Hellfire, from Flubear, and Vector, from Chris Johnston. And that's not even the full list of yesterday's released maps! Go check out the goodies. (Louis Wu 00:07:23 UTC) (permalink)
