Ghost to Tower movie, looking for home
More video material - Cal, a frequent contributor to our Gameplay Tricks section, has made a low-resolution movie showing how he got a ghost up to the Tower in Blood Gulch. If you can help him with the hosting of this 3.5 mb movie, drop him a line! (Louis Wu 22:49:10 UTC) (permalink)
More places for the Warthog Jump film
Mirrors for the Warthog Jump movie:
- Psyjnir Complex Hotline (Hi-res - Files>Halo>Movies>halo_warthog_jump_.mov)
- Mythica.org (Hi-res - thanks, Brian!)
- bungie.org mirror (lo-res only)
- Original site (both, for now - low-res-only soon)
More as we hear of 'em! (This one's really worth seeing, if that wasn't clear already. Check the praise in this forum thread.) Quick Update: Drew "DKo5" McCoy writes to say that the hi-res version is now mirrored on his UT clan's webspace. Thanks, Drew! (Louis Wu 22:33:17 UTC) (permalink)
A movie you MUST watch
Okay, put your coffee down (and anything else nearby that might spill), and run, don't walk, over to this directory. Randy Glass has made one of the funniest fan vids I've ever seen - a brilliant combination of Halo footage and miscellaneous sounds and music... it simply MUST be seen to be believed. (Remember, he did this without any of the kewl dev tools Bungie has at their disposal for making movies... this is straight gameplay, with a fantastic eye for capturing the moment.) There are two flavors: a 23 mb, hi-res version and a 10 mb lower-res version. The hi-res version will only be available at oz.net for the next 12 hours or so... but Psyjnir.com will be mirroring it shortly on its Hotline server (other mirror volunteers - let us know). The low-res version is actually quite viewable, so if you don't get the big one in time, or don't have the bandwidth to grab it, grab the small one. For those interested in making Halo vids - take heed. This film (like Aaron Suhr's 'The People That We Love', before it) sets a standard worth striving for. Update: In case you had any doubt, this film just received Marty's Seal of Excellence. (Louis Wu 17:15:44 UTC) (permalink)
More Wallpaper added
A couple of Wallpapers came in recently - the SocketError Team dropped off another one (sort of hurts my eyes after a while), and the BlargMaster whipped up a nice image using Strykerwolf's new Counter-Strike skin. You can find both of these in the Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 15:53:05 UTC) (permalink)
Casualties, continued
Tom Murphy turns in Part 3... hmm, half of Part 1... well, the next bit of the 'Casualties of War' series. You can read the latest piece alone, or the series as a whole - whatever's easiest for you. Don't forget to tell him what you think! (Louis Wu 15:38:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
The Halo SETI Marines continue to hold steady at 61 in the Battle of the Teams - the big mover today was Rogue Spartan IV, who leapt into the top 600 in his second week on the team. Are YOU moving? Check the 7 day stats page to see! (Louis Wu 15:19:16 UTC) (permalink)
A nod to the first
If you want a good laugh, check out the bottom of the boot of the new Counter-Strike Master Chief skin created by Strykerwolf. He's made it easy for you... he's posted a link to a pic in a recent forum post. (The REAL MC, btw, has Marcus Lehto's initials burned in.) (Louis Wu 07:22:18 UTC) (permalink)
AotCR transcript posted at Story page
The long-awaited Halo Story Page Level Transcripts are beginning to appear again... Level 5, Assault On The Control Room, went up about 3 minutes ago. Don't forget - if you find/know of additional text, feel free to send it to the Halo Story Page crew! Update: Level 6 (343 Guilty Spark) has now been added, as well.

MGON reviews Halo
Thanks to DeAdLy_cOoKiE (whoa, did I just say that?) for pointing out a new Halo review at MGON - they loved it. We've added it to our Reviews section - total currently stands at 68 reviews, with an average score of 94.5%! (Louis Wu 00:36:43 UTC) (permalink)
