Who do YOU want to hear from?
Matt Soell put a note up at the Tru7h and Reconciliation site to let everyone know that the Robert McLees interview is still going - it hasn't been forgotten. Should be posted sometime next week... at which point they'll be taking questions for ANOTHER Bungie employee. If you have a special Bungie dude or dudette you'd like to hear from, message Matt. (This was posted last night, but we somehow missed it, even though we noticed the new Halo content.) (Louis Wu 22:27:46 UTC) (permalink)
Hey! You can ride it!
Whoa. Metafire managed to get into the second Pelican on Assault on the Control Room (the one that flies over the bridge) - and he took some pics. Oops - guess Bungie should have renumbered one of those... (Louis Wu 22:08:57 UTC) (permalink)
More fiction for you
dyoung92 submits Part 1 of his 'Halo 2 Story', which picks up where the game leaves off. (Don't read this if you haven't finished yet.) Check it out in our Fan Fiction section! (Louis Wu 21:52:59 UTC) (permalink)
More vehicle collecting
Aaron Suhr stops by our forum to point out that he's upped his 'ultimate vehicle collection' by several - he's added another 7 shades, and one more ghost (albeit a broken one). There's a new movie which shows off the collection better. The time this guy has... we've updated his Gameplay Tricks page with the new info. (This info is also available on Aaron's mac.com page.)

Assault first bridge trick, filmed
Doum and Pat, a pair of Halo fanatics from Quebec, have made a series of movies to show how to get down to the bottom off the first bridge of Assault on the Control Room - it requires some tricky timing in coop mode. The films were encoded with DivX 4 - I found that they were viewable on a Mac with the newest DivX decoder (the Windows decoder has never been a problem). Quality is somewhat low (it was filmed off a TV screen), but you can certainly see what you need to be doing. Movies are hosted on Doum's server.
- Part 1 (2.83 MB) - how to get under the bridge
- Part 2 (2.06 MB) - how to get on the edge near the ground
- Part 3 (4.28 MB) - where to go down
- Part 4 (3.16 MB) - how to go down
Using this trick, you avoid triggering any baddies - you'll be traveling through a totally unpopulated level. You'll need to use the Banshee on the ground to head back up to the bridge, since the door at the bottom is locked. Nice job, guys! (Louis Wu 11:00:09 UTC) (permalink)
Easier-to-find tricks
The Gameplay Tricks are pouring in... and the collection was getting pretty hard to navigate. We've made it a bit neater, hopefully easier to find what you're looking for... and we've added three new collections. (All are mirrors of the creators' collections elsewhere... but we're hoping this becomes the central repository for this sort of thing - it makes it much easier to compare techniques if you don't have to hunt all over the net.) You might notice, as well, the link to the One-Shots page... this, hopefully, is coming soon. Thanks to Cal and Aaron Suhr for this evening's submissions - go check 'em out!

Truth and Recon gets an update
Massive new content to Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site: two new Gallery sections (one of which was seen last week, in the Marcus Lehto article), the first cutscene, and some way-cool concept art. Check it out! (Louis Wu 01:06:22 UTC) (permalink)
There's only so much you can do...
