Project Torlan continues
zugy posted an update on Project Torlan, the UT2004 Halo total conversion, and it includes a bunch of screenshots. Some of the maps look pretty fun - I especially like the one that looks to be a blend of Hang 'em High and Gephyrophobia. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:45:04 UTC)

Halo Custom Edition - Still Creating!
MasterGrief sent along a couple of HaloCE bits for us - Yoyorast Island has been released (this map looks BIZARRE), and a group is working on bringing Metroid into Halo - just a teaser, but an interesting start! Check 'em out. (Louis Wu 18:16:15 UTC)

The Codex - smaller downloads
Dennis Powers sends word that he's re-encoded the Codex Series vids to be a more appropriate filesize for the 320x240 presentation they are generally released with; the new files should be much more palatable to bandwidth-challenged downloaders. You can find the new versions in the 'Codex' section of the GearboxGameZone Movies site. (Louis Wu 18:12:23 UTC)

Cheaters, Matchmaking, and other fun stuff
kons0uL pointed out an entry he made yesterday on his RSCR: Respod blog, which uses Friday's Weekly What's Update from Bungie as a jumping-off spot for a rant about matchmaking and community exclusions. He also started a thread on our forum, if you'd like to chime in. (Louis Wu 14:58:34 UTC)

GTA: SA - now with hogs

Where to shoot in the Gulch
IGN has a Sniping Locations on Coagulation FAQ online - this is fan-written, and starts with the dubious information "Xbox Live = no fun"... but you might find some useful info inside. Update: looks like I mentioned this in January. Seems I wasn't that impressed with it then, either - guess I gotta be careful with Google News Alerts from now on. Thanks, nof.

Freelancer Mod - In Trouble
We've mentioned a Freelancer Halo mod a couple of times - seems they've stalled for lack of help. (This will be the last of this type of 'please visit' posts we put up for this project.) They've got a screenshot of their 'slipspace effect' graphics - except without Halo models so far. If you're interested in seeing this mod succeed, go visit. (Louis Wu 14:14:27 UTC)

Not so Strategic Strategy
For folks looking for strategy tips for the new maps, you might think that the Strategy pages at Xbox.com (Backwash, Elongation, Gemini, and Relic - no Terminal yet) would be a good place to start - but you'd be wrong. Well, the Relic and Elongation pages have some MINOR info that might be helpful - but mostly, they're just summaries of the maps. Bummer. (Louis Wu 12:13:30 UTC)

Frantic Tranquility
SketchFactor has posted a beautiful preview of Gemini, over at Bungie.net - strategy, map overhead, screenshots of the Marathon Infinity level that inspired it, gameplay tips. You can't go wrong. Go read it! (Louis Wu 22:44:29 UTC)

Map Pack data at Bungie.net
For anyone having trouble downloading the five new maps on Xbox Live, SketchFactor has reprinted Major Nelson's Downloadable Content FAQ - go read it at Bungie.net. And yes, we know about the Relic teleporter glitch. (For those who don't - it's quite simple to pass through the teleporter, in either direction, by simply crouch-jumping on top of the platforms.) No, it won't kill matchmaking. It just means there's one more place to watch at the start of the game. (Louis Wu 21:32:59 UTC)

Hollywood Halo Update 4
Our final news post of this Fourth of July holiday is community-related. A few days ago, we mentioned some money problems being experienced by Hollywood Halo, a team of Halo movie makers who were socked with some unreasonable overage fees for one of their popular movies. To show people what happened to them, they put together a vid that explains the problem (in a humorous fashion), and then summarizes their work to date. chubark posted a note on our forum last night, explaining the vid and listing several download links (including a BitTorrent link - the video is 87.1 mb, so the BT link might be your fastest option). We've put up a QuickTime version, as well - you can grab it via BitTorrent (we're seeding it with a very nice chunk of bandwidth), or grab the direct download - if this starts to kill us, we'll pull it, but leave the BT link. (The QuickTime is 85.7 mb.) For folks who've written us with a warning that this whole thing is a scam - I think you're being overly paranoid. The hosting company is acting pretty unprofessionally - but a typo in their bill does NOT mean that the bill was made up. And with that - I'm off to start cooking! Enjoy the day, see you all tomorrow! (Louis Wu 12:29:44 UTC)

Halo CE Chronicles Season 2 starts soon
Looks like the Halo CE Chronicles is counting down to season 2 - read this news post for details on website changes. Folks have been waiting for this popular series to restart filming - keep your eyes open! (Louis Wu 14:58:33 UTC)

Frag Doll Friday - coming soon
Looks like the Frag Dolls are starting a monthly 'play with the fans' thing, under the auspices of Xbox.com - you can read about it on its official Xbox.com page. First game is July 15, with gaming requests needed by July 12 in order to partipate. Thanks to prometheus, who found this on Major Nelson's blog. (Louis Wu 09:38:07 UTC)

Briar's Armor Update
Four more screenshots, showing the thigh pieces, have been posted over at Briar's Armor (it's the top row of thumbnails at the moment). If this news post means nothing to you, check older posts. (Louis Wu 15:02:52 UTC)

HaloCE work continues
HaloCE Updates, from MasterGrief: The Zelda: Ocarina of Time mod is coming along nicely (a magic meter, and new melee attacks with the sword) - you can see tons of new screenshots in this Gearbox Forum thread, and BitterBanana has created a much less buggy, more realistic chasecam - go download version 1.07. More people should play this game! (Louis Wu 11:41:36 UTC)

Screenies - for those who missed 'em
I meant to mention this the other day, but forgot; I'm sure there are a few people who missed it. In the 'Relic Revealed' article over at Bungie.net, SketchFactor mentioned that new screenshots had been posted, as well. This has been true for ALL the map overviews, starting with Elongation. You can find three new pics of each map in Bungie's Screenshot section, starting on page 6. They're dated according to the writeup, so Elongation and Backwash are on June 22 (clearly, that's when the policy began), Terminal (four pics) on June 22, and Relic on June 28th. The action shot off Terminal ROCKS. (Louis Wu 11:37:53 UTC)

Relic/Elongation vids continue to spread
More copies of the Film Oasis movies - TeamXbox has the Elongation and Relic films, in WMP9 format, and Computer and Video Games has them as well (though at a smaller screen size), along with text writeups of the levels. Glad to see they're getting more press now! (Louis Wu 20:58:11 UTC)

Live Action Halo Movie - coming soon!
Gregory Austin let us know that Zool Inc is working on a live-action Halo fan film. It's entitled "117", and he's sent along a small teaser poster for the film. In his words:

Set in the style of "The Fall of Reach", "117" details the life of Master Chief, starting from his first promotion to Petty Officer, to the dawning of the Mjolnir body armor.

Post-Production will begin soon, and we will release a teaser trailer. Expect more updates soon!

Keep your eyes open! (Louis Wu 15:20:27 UTC)

Maptacular Vids - the way they SHOULD be seen
Some not-so-standard promo vids of the new Maptacular levels have appeared recently - Containment was first, followed by Warlock,then Sanctuary and Turf last week. I've been a little unhappy with these releases - some have had encoding problems, others have watermarks or splash screens added by the sites releasing them. I did a little digging, and we've gotten permission to release high-quality, watermark-free versions of all of them. We're starting with one you haven't seen yet - Elongation. We'll add Relic later today or tonight, fill out the existing releases in the next couple of days, and then start on the final 3 maps. Thanks to the Xbox.com team, Film Oasis (who made them), and Bungie (whose fantastic work is so beautifully shown off in them) for helping make this happen! (Louis Wu 19:17:50 UTC)

The Cup Is Not The Experience.
I haven't highlighted a forum post from Matt Soell in quite some time - partly because he hasn't been around (in a posting sense) for a while, but also because he no longer works for Bungie. However, he posted a note this evening that is worth a read by anyone interested in the marketing side of video games, and how it conflicts, sometimes, with what the 'fans' want. (I put 'fans' in quotes because they're generally people who believe they deserve the title more than the millions of people who bought Halo 2 BECAUSE of the marketing hype.) If you're new around here, Matt was the public mouthpiece of Bungie for many years, until his departure 2 years ago. He resurfaced about a year after that, at Wideload Games, the startup created by Bungie co-founder Alex Seropian. The man has a way with words, and a pretty grounded perspective on all of this stuff. Read it and let your blood pressure drop. (Remember that all of this is personal opinion; he's not representing Bungie, or Wideload, or anyone else but Matt in this post.) (Louis Wu 03:57:42 UTC)

Terminal on your PSP
Mintz08 continues his PSP-ready conversions - this time with the 3D Terminal screenshots released yesterday. I'm still having trouble understanding the draw, but there it is for anyone who wants it. (Louis Wu 11:23:09 UTC)

What should come next
Diss3nt has written up a blog entry with his thoughts about Halo 3. It's a little bit schizophrenic (after ranting about how Halo 2 got too much advertising, and how that detrimentally affected the fanbase, he complains that wants to see more promotional focus on the storyline - it was too neglected in the Halo 2 ads), but there's a lot of feeling behind it. He started a comment thread about it on our forum, as well. (Louis Wu 11:19:58 UTC)

Now that just ROCKS.
Shishka, covering for the missing Sketch and Frankie, has posted not one, not two, but THREE gorgeous 3D screenshots of Terminal - you'll need QuickTime to see these, but oh, they're so very nice. I'm loving the last one. Shishka, fresh off a victorious sword lunge, is about to become winshield splatter. w00t! (We got this first from B.net itself, but thanks anyway to 3Suns for the email heads-up.) (Louis Wu 23:20:15 UTC)

Master Chief Model
Wortrow found an interesting series of renders over on the Scifi-Meshes.com forums - Doug Godfrey, aka JoKeRr, has modeled the Master Chief, and is in the process of animating his work. (There's a small website begun, as well.) It's out of the ordinary; this wasn't built by starting with Bungie models, it was created from the ground up. (You can see the progression of the model through the thread, now over 150 replies long.) (Louis Wu 11:52:26 UTC)
