Multiplayer viewpoints at xbox.com
A couple of pieces from Microsoft's Xbox.com site which might be worth a read... Francesca Reyes, Senior Editor of the Official Xbox MagazineÊwrote an article entitled 'The Real "Halo" World', describing how multiplayer fests affect the interactions between co-workers... and Martyn Rose penned an article called 'Co-op Multiplayer Blast Fest!', which looks at why Coop is so much fun. (This latter article requires you to sign inÑthere's no cost to registerÑto xbox.com before reading it.) Take a look! Update: Eep! We forgot to mention the interview with Max Hoberman and Matt Soell about the Bungie Store! (It's not new, but we never mentioned it before...) Definitely worth a read.

Fan Fiction doings...
A new Fan Fiction story for you - KnightmareWolf's Fafnir Chapter 1. (This was actually submitted before the last update, but we managed to miss it.) Also, Kyo has submitted revised versions of both of his chapters (we don't encourage this - really) - you can read the new versions individually, or as a unit. Update: DOH! Didn't even notice the new chapter of Shadow's Rise to Honor series in our inbox as I was processing fiction. Check out Chapter 2: The Mission now. (Louis Wu 21:56:03 UTC) (permalink)
When Bungie stacks levels funny
Caught again... miles did some fancy footwork in order to leave a nav-pointed grunt alive at the start of Truth and Reconciliation... and hence was able to measure the distance from the arrival bay inside the Truth and Reconciliation (where you end up after going through the gravity lift) and the starting point of the level... and the interesting thing is that the ship is BELOW the start point, not above it! Bizarre... (Louis Wu 17:51:55 UTC) (permalink)
MC Skin for Tribes 2
CENOBITE has created a Master Chief skin (in three sizes; the 'Light' size looks most like the Halo Master Chief) for Tribes 2. You can see what it looks like here, and download it from the Skinner's Guild. (You'll need to registerÖit's freeÖto download, so if there's enough demand (and if it's okay with CENOBITE), we'll host a copy here, too.) Update: CENOBITE has no problem with our hosting the file - so if you don't want to register at the Skinner's Guild, you can grab a zipped version here. (Okay, it's not technically HEREÖwe've put it into Mythica's mirror spaceÖbut the point is, you don't need to fill any forms out to get it.) The Skinner's Guild is still a great source of info and advice, though - if you have any questions, that's the place to head. (Louis Wu 13:48:00 UTC) (permalink)
Moving Bodies
Wondering what Halo looks like, in the context of its astral neighbors? Roger Wilco created a little demo of how he thinks it might move around Threshold, Basis, and their sun... take a look. (Louis Wu 01:41:10 UTC) (permalink)
