They said it couldn't work. They said a Yul Brynner stand-in could never love something green. They said Mister Chief was too 'two-dimensional'.
They were wrong. Tune in Sundays for some of the most touching love scenes we've ever filmed.

Come along for the ride as the One One Se7en drags you kicking and screaming through Stuntmutt's depraved, pun-filled mind. Today's episode may induce feelings of mild amusement to bewilderment, viewer discretion is advised.
The suspense about who's going to get tossed this week for not reviewing enough will keep you at the edge of your seat!

The latest operation for Halo Infinite, Blue Team, is live and runs until April 8. Like the name implies, the operation adds Halo 5-style Blue Team cosmetics, but it also features the addition of a classic survival Firefight experience on some Forged remakes from ODST. Check it out in the trailer below:
Sometimes I'm amazed this site is still online; it launched in 1999, more than a quarter-century ago, and although it's not quite as lively as it once was, it's still visited by people who love the Halo franchise and love the creations that have been brought into being via that franchise. I have thousands of good memories associated with this site and its community... but few are as cherished as the lanfest I was invited to in 2001, where we celebrated the final chemo treatment of Brian Morden. (If you don't recognize the name, type it into the search bar here; there are plenty of links.) We honor him every February 15, with a symbol on this website... but today I listened to a podcast where his best childhood friend, Brian Johnson, remembered him and his contribution to the Halo universe, and I was reminded, again, how powerful hope can be. (It really couldn't have come at a better time, so huge thanks to Brian - well, both Brians - to the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, and to Adam Daniel, who brought it to my attention.) Go listen. it's a great story.
The Spring Update of Halo Infinite is coming in February ( that's a seriously loose definition of spring!) Halo Waypoint has all the deets in a long blog post with an accompanying YouTube VOD of the community livestream. There's a fuel rod-infused rocket launcher, the return of Assault, weapon tweaks, and more. Check it out!
Mint Blitz has an 8-minute video round-up of some new Halo developments. And apparently "fun has returned". Topics include mini-games in Halo Infinite (Duck Hunt, anyone?), plus some Halo 2 restoration work in the form of a Sanctuary "Tech Demo", featuring some very nice Tomb Raider style surroundings. Not that Lara Croft was actually present, but she definitely wouldn't have looked out of place:
Putting a new spin on an old activity, Spasmodic recently took the time to collect and neatly arrange 23 vehicles on a beam at the start of AOTCR, with the aid of a few skulls. Check out his creative parking skills, and read his video blurb for details:
BOLL dropped by in the forum with a rundown on the newly released Halo VR mod by LivingFray. Specifically it's a VR conversion of the original PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved. While there are certainly some issues, it seems to be getting an enthusiastic welcome from fans who've long wanted such a thing. Check out the video below for example, featuring gameplay in the first two levels. Also, BOLL has been streaming gameplay on Twitch, if you care to catch some of that.
As Halo 2's 20th anniversary passes us by, so does a bunch of press coverage. Halo Studios has been celebrating in Infinite, in MCC, and on Waypoint, but among the press recollections there were two I found worth a read.
- On IGN, Ryan McCaffrey has his remembrances of reviewing the game at Bungie, and Max Hoberman shares some details on map development.
- Rolling Stone has an interview with Robert and Lorraine McLees that touches on the origins of the Flood, Lorraine's efforts to make Chief a focus of marketing Halo 2, and more.
