New Halo 2 vid posted
Uriel has created a new Halo 2 vid - it's a bit over 4 megs, and currently it's only hosted on the Psynjir Complex Hotline server. (You'll find it in Files -> Halo2 -> Movies; it's called 'A Fall Too Far'.) Worth a look, though - and when demand for the Halo 2 trailer drops a bit, we'll add it to some web mirrors.

Second time's the charm...
Wondering where the MC gets his confidence from? Marcellus King figured it out... (Louis Wu 16:25:10 UTC) (permalink)
PC Halo in PC Gamer
The September issue of PC Gamer UK contained an article on the upcoming PC version of Halo - Griffon was kind enough to scan it for us last month. We needed to wait until it was no longer on the newsstands... but we've now added it to our Press Scans section. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 15:07:28 UTC) (permalink)
When you want it, you want it...
Wow. Folks have noticed Halo 2 for sale elsewhere before... but Djoey154 found it at Amazon.co.uk. What blew me away was not that it was listed... but that its sales rank was 812. That's considerably higher than several RELEASED games! (Genma Onimusha, for example, is at 878.) Behold The Power Of Cheese. (Release date, for those keeping track of companies to snicker at, is listed as November 28, 2003. I looked carefully, but there was no mention of the hour.) (Louis Wu 10:59:23 UTC) (permalink)

Now THAT'S firepower.
LAAG gun not cutting it for you? How about a nuke? (Louis Wu 00:48:13 UTC) (permalink)
It says Kilroy Was Here, okay?
Okay, I'm doing this for my own sanity. Ever since the release of the Halo 2 screenshots a few weeks ago, there's been quite a bit of discussion about the writing on the side of the assault rifle carried by the MC in this picture. (Here's a very nice closeup, handily enhanced by Storm Singer.) I'm sick to death of seeing it misinterpreted as 'RAT' or 'KAT' in our forum, and in email - the english text reads 'Kal 9.6 mm x 40' - 'Kal' being short for the german 'Kaliber'. This has been confirmed by Bungie, so please - no more rats. (We've even added it to our FAQ, to make life easier for those looking for the tru7h.) The chinese characters translate roughly to 'Monkey King', according to several different people on our forum... but nobody's actually pinned down the significance of this yet. Hopefully, this information will allow me to get back to the very important work of cleaning my toenails without having to hear about RATs. Thanks. (Louis Wu 00:37:01 UTC) (permalink)
