Breaking AotCR
Heh - Ash continues his Assault on the Control Room antics. Way back in July 2002, someone discovered that you could alter the ending cutscene (but not the final outcome, actually) to this classic Halo level by bringing a baddie with you as the scene ended. Lennox did it with a Hunter, Warbow did it with a Banshee... but nobody (until now) has managed to do it with a Gold Elite. Why? Because the Gold Elite you USUALLY fight near the end will die spontaneously as you enter the doorway, if he's still alive. That's not true if you bring one from somewhere else, though... and unlike Warbow's banshee case, if the Gold Elite kills you in the Control Room, it DOES break the rest of the scripted cutscene. Check out Ash's movie at FileFront. This trick is 6 years old - and it's STILL not tapped out! That's amazing. (Louis Wu 14:49:46 UTC) (permalink)

Dennis Powers sent us an update of new stuff posted over at the Halo CE Map Archive in the past week - there are 43 new maps, but the ones he wanted to highlight were Seclusion (a small winter map) and Highlands (a small impenetrable valley). Browse - check 'em all out! (Louis Wu 14:15:23 UTC) (permalink)

MC Armor for sale on eBay
Urban Reflex found a pretty nice fan-made Halo suit on eBay yesterday - it's in the UK, and the auction ends in just under 2 days, with the current bid at £670 (a bit under $1300 US). If you're in the market - take a look! (While at eBay, I swung by the Weta MC and Grunts statue auction, still a week from closing - current bid is $1625, reserve HAS been met. Wowzers!)
