Prometheus Update 4
Prometheus, the multiversion Halo model manipulator/editor, has a new update online. They've lost scripting support (their scripter has left the team because of problems with the CE community), but there's plenty of good stuff left. Screenshots and descriptions will give you a taste for what's coming - go read! (Louis Wu 14:54:42 UTC)

Good ta see ya, Joe.
Awesomeness. There's a great article over at Bungie.net, written by Joe Staten, who's been pretty off-the-radar these past few months - it looks at the origins of the Halo movie script, and how the situation developed to where it stands today. There's even a sneak peek at the 'companion', a jazzed-up "universe bible/style-guide" that is intended to keep the filmmakers on the right track. (No, you can't buy one.) Go read this if you have any doubts about the outcome of the Halo movie. (You should STILL have doubts after you read it - you should have doubts until you see it on-screen, because otherwise you're setting yourself up for potential sadness - but you should feel much more assured after reading Joe's writeup.) Oh, yeah - and this is part 1. Thanks, LegendaryMark. (Louis Wu 17:09:03 UTC)

NSCS - Updated
Overswarm is back from summer break, with a bunch of new goodies for you in the Not So Common Sense Strategy Guide; if you head to the Articles and Extras section, you'll find two new pieces - one points out some of the LESS-desirable playstyles out there (try not to fall into one of these categories), the other looks at specific gametypes, and the strategies that might help you improve your game at them. In the Movies and Commentary section, there's a new Advanced Vehicle Guide, this one covering Scorpions and Wraiths - watch it to glean tips for better offensive (and defensive) use of these monsters. Go read! (Louis Wu 21:47:40 UTC)

Coordinating a matchmade team
Another piece of Halowiki news... LegendaryMark has written up a useful article discussing how to make the most of a matchmade team, especially bigger ones. Sometimes the most frustrating thing is getting people to pay attention to you... this might help. Go read it! (Louis Wu 13:29:03 UTC)

Greasemonkey Web Linker
Wow. PEZ has adapted an existing script for Firefox that, when installed in your browser, will add links to any bungie.org or bungie.net page that contains keywords with corresponding pages on the Halowiki.net website. If this doesn't make a lot of sense, go read the page he's put up about it. I just installed the Greasemonkey plugin and his web linker script... and both Bungie.net and bungie.org just got a whole lot more linked for me. (The new links to halowiki content are differentiated from existing links by a dotted red underline - so you'll know which ones are ones we put there, and which ones are supplementary info.) Cool! (If you don't use Firefox - any platform - this is useless to you.) (Louis Wu 13:18:12 UTC)

OMG MISTERCHIEF IS A HOUSE OMG
The Weekly What's Update has been posted; there's info about the upcoming free release of all maps that are currently not free (and you should definitely download them soon after August 30, because they WILL be integrated into all playlists; if you don't have 'em, you don't play), and info about Kirkland, where the Bungie team is moving to (apparently, the other game developers complained about the smell so much that Microsoft moved them several miles away). And there's a link to Aaron Walpole's Canadian Idol page - he's in the top 5 now (this was mentioned by D-Man earlier today, but I passed on it because it's not really Halo news... but since it's in the WWU...). And there's a mister chief picture that just creeps me out. Go read. (Louis Wu 00:28:57 UTC)

What makes a great player?
Over at H2Wiki, there's a nice article from LegendaryMark entitled 'What makes a great Halo 2 Multiplayer Gamer?' As you might expect from the title, it looks at some of the things that make good gamers great - and points out why you might be stuck where you are, level-wise, until you rethink your gameplay strategies.

Stubbs - Coming Along!
Chris Remo, of Shacknews, got a chance to play a new iteration of Stubbs The Zombie, Wideload's Halo-engined undead romp, at QuakeCon this weekend. He'd been worried - he played it at GDC a few months ago, and had been disappointed. This time around, though, he had a lot of fun - go read why. Good to hear! Thanks to Rampancy.net for noticing this. (Louis Wu 11:32:57 UTC)

Mister Chief's on vacation
The most recent Weekly What's Update over at Bungie.net is pretty short... but it looks at changes to be made in the next month or so to the XBL playlists. Some good stuff coming up - multiball, baby! Go read. (Louis Wu 04:56:42 UTC)

Friday's Fan Fic
Eep - been a little while since the Fan Fiction section was updated - there are 11 new pieces for you there (including the latest chapter in what I think is the longest-running serial fanfic on our site - the first installment was posted more than 31 months ago). Go read! (Louis Wu 16:47:08 UTC)

Spartan Comics
AJay points out SpartanComics over at MySpace, a series of well-done Halo-based comics. (To be fair - Shooty Guy pointed this out last month, but initially there was some unpleasantness about what ELSE was linked from the page Shooty Guy was pointing to, so I passed on it - and by the time it got fixed, I'd forgotten that it hadn't been front-paged.) In any case, go read now! (Louis Wu 13:54:00 UTC)

NYT Machinima piece - now online
The New York Times article we mentioned yesterday is online now (free registration required, or visit bugmenot.com for a username). NB was right - it's a great article. It focuses pretty heavily on Red vs Blue, while looking at the field of machinima in general - go read this! (Louis Wu 13:59:25 UTC)

Don't be a jerk.
Yeah, that's the lesson in the most recent Weekly What's Update, posted over at Bungie.net. Pretty simple, eh? Looks like there are still lots of people who don't understand what that means. Oh - and if nobody solves the 'Hi, Ben' thing by next week, Frankie says he'll spill the beans. Get to work - you want to EARN this, don't you? And on a pretty sad front, it looks like Shishka's last day at Bungie is now over. We'll miss you, Shishka! Go read. (There was supposed to be hints of The Next Big Thing, but that was just a tease.)

The End of a Streak
Part 1 of Dyslexia's MLG Philly writeup is now online - and all the way through it, I was thinking, MAN, those guys think more about this game than I do. (Which is why I lose regularly, I suppose... but geez.) Fantastic writeup - makes me wish I'd been there to see the matches in person. Go read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 23:16:16 UTC)

Cleaning out the Inbox
The Weekly What's Update went up as expected last night - it's been a quiet week, so this one basically covers some common questions Bungie gets. Some decent clarifications - Action Replay is fine if you use it to transfer unmodified game saves, for example - and some good 'nice to know' stuff. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:21:22 UTC)

Hillary vs. the Xbox: Game over
The 'Video Games are Evil' concept has blown up again in recent weeks, spurred primarily by the release of the Hot Coffee mod for Grand Theft Auto (google it if you don't know what it is) - and the whole 'Violence in Video Games' controversy has been reopened because of it. I haven't written much on the subject (though I've been toying with some blog posts, if life ever slows down enough to think coherently about them), but that hasn't stopped people from sending in links. One came in this morning that I found to be a great read, and a summary of most of the arguments I've been making for a while now. (I'm not claiming ownership on these arguments - LOTS of rational people have been arguing these points - I'm just saying that this one sums up my views pretty well.) Steven Johnson (we mentioned him a couple of months ago) has written an opinion piece in today's LA Times; it's an open letter to Hillary Clinton, discussing the Senator's recent call for a study on the effects of video games on our youth. He makes some solid points - and mentions Halo 2 a couple of times, which gets him on the front page here. Go read! (Thanks, Christopher Lyons.) (Louis Wu 18:29:36 UTC)

Full Of Good Things For Boys And Girls.
