A Halo CE Roadtrip Redux
Siliconmaster482 has revisited his idea of showcasing the Halo Custom Edition maps created by the community (we mentioned his first attempt about 3 years ago) - he's created a five-minute, high-quality video that shows off a huge number of maps (though really only the middle two and a half minutes contain actual footage). You'll find details and links to downloads and streaming versions in his forum post.

Halo Custom Edition Mod Contest
Wave of Lag stopped by to announce that h2vista.net is running a mod contest; as part of the High Res Halo project (bringing a total graphical overhaul to Halo 1, via Halo Custom Edition), they're building an enormous map originally designed by Mrs Doublefire (who went on to work for Bungie). It's got a lot of space - so they're looking for help filling it. Enter your 'detail object' models, and win both a place in the map, and possibly cash. (More details in the post.)

The Little Game who Could
Dennis Powers of Halo Maps, had this to say about Halo Custom Edition:
Even with the Halo 3 game topping all charts the Halo Custom Edition game is still going strong. There are now over 1300 custom maps, over 100 added within the last month and over 500 map variants and modifications of existing maps bringing the total to over 2,850 maps models, mapping tools and map assets available. Halo Custom Edition seems to be the little game who could.
To emphasize his point, he highlighted Checkers, a map that lets you play Checkers in a Halo environment. Weird! (Louis Wu 03:04:44 UTC)

Halo CE 2v2 Tournament
MereCatfish writes to point out that the Halo CE 2v2 Tournament is now accepting team registrations.

If you've got a copy of Halo: Custom Edition, and a teammate... sign up! (Louis Wu 13:54:27 UTC)

New Vids at H2F
A couple of new vids over at Halo2Forums - ReMoRs3 created a vid using Dest's Halo 2 Custom Edition mod - it shows Halo-style weapons on Halo 2's Lockout. It's just ReMoRs3 running around - there's nobody to shoot - so you can't get a great sense for damage adjustments... but you can see the battle rifle turned into an assault rifle, and grenade triggers shifted back towards how they were in Halo. 29.4 mb, WMP9 format. There's also a high-res version of Clan Hops Episode 3 (lower-res versions were posted over at HIH a couple of days ago) - some great jumps. 61.2 mb, WMP9 format. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 17:28:10 UTC)
