New Map Media Frenzy
Wow, very nice - there are 28 new map pics over at Gamespot showing off the new levels; many gameplay shots, but also several overhead shots showing the full level layouts. (Thanks, Red Leader.) There's a written preview (with a movie - an interview with Brian Jarrard about the new material), as well. Not to be outdone, IGN has their own preview - some of the same screenshots (with the IGN watermark, of course, instead of the Gamespot one), plus 12 new vids (streaming for the masses, downloadable for IGN Insiders) showing off the first four maps. None of the new media is on Bungie.net yet (nor has anyone sent us copies behind the scenes) - but if we get our hands on un-watermarked copies, we'll be sure to post 'em. Update: looks like the shots are up at TeamXbox, too (with a smaller watermark than GS or IGN) - thanks, chaos recon. Update 2: GameInformer has a preview/media, too. (I'm sad - we're not on the right lists, I guess.) Thanks, Apocalidiot. (Louis Wu 00:56:36 UTC)

Humpday Challenge - On Your Screen
Art Vandelay recorded some of last week's Halo Humpday Challenge between High Impact Halo and Bungie, on XBL; I thought the third game was pretty interesting to watch. Remember; you're seeing this entirely from a single player's viewpoint, with no editing; It's not nearly as exciting as it would have been had multiple people recorded the game and then had the final product edited together... but it SHOULD give you a sense for how both teams played. (You'll see that Sketch's writeup is... um, less than accurate (It's HIH that scores first), and there's a hilarious sequence starting at around 4:20 or so - were I to give it a title, it would probably be 'Duck Hunt'.) The game was Neutral Flag CTF on Colossus with Snipers, and the vid is 9:05 long, weighing in at 33.3 mb. You can grab it in WMP9 format (mythica.org | bungie.org) or QuickTime format (bungie.org | mythica.org) - nice stuff! (Louis Wu 01:34:37 UTC)

Major MLG Changes due to Auto-Update
There are a couple of important news items over at MLGPro.com for folks who play in their tournaments. The first points out that having the MLG Online League actually start competition the night the auto-update comes out might cause some headaches... so they've pushed the leagues back a week for folks to get used to the changes. (Thanks, Clan Fire When Ready.) The second warns anyone heading to MLG Orlando next week to NOT allow the Auto Update onto their Xbox, since the update will NOT be supported at the tournament. (All SUBSEQUENT tourneys will use it - but this one is so close that it seemed unreasonable to expect folks to change their playstyle overnight.) For practicing between Monday and the 23rd, they suggest XBox Connect. Wow... makes me glad I'm not organizing this stuff! (Louis Wu 13:16:08 UTC)

Pink Death, Amplified
I'm not supposed to be here, but I'm trying to save my inbox from the assault it would receive if I left this until morning; Shishka has posted another way-cool 3d screenshot over at Bungie.net, this one of Containment. You wanna see what those new land mines can do? Check this out. (You'd think, given that today is agdTinman's last day at Bungie, that Shishka would have let this flag capture go... but no. Guy's a monster. Go tell him what you think of his heartlessness.) (Louis Wu 02:32:04 UTC)

Prometheus Update
Nick points out a new update about Prometheus, the multi-version editor in development. A bunch of questions answered (mostly bringing expectations back into line with reality), a set of new screenshots. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:35:02 UTC)

Halo/Star Wars crossover
Mjolnir14 points out a thread on the FileFront forums about a project starting up to create a Halo mod for Star Wars Battlefront. If this is your cup of tea, go see if you can help! (Louis Wu 12:29:22 UTC)

Lookin' For Fun
ST started a Halo-related blog - this one devoted to his Halo 2 stats. His post 'A look at H2 through the eyes of the mediocre player' is a rambling look at what it takes to find a 'fun' game. (Louis Wu 14:59:41 UTC)

Game Diversity at Tourneys
Video Gamers League started a program where gamers can vote on which games they'll have running at their tournaments; visit their page for more details. (As far as I can tell, this is in addition to Halo, and you're not limited at all in what you vote for.) (Louis Wu 19:26:32 UTC)

Battle of the HUDless shots!
Wow. Yesterday afternoon, Mast3r posted a pair of gorgeous HUDless shots (one shot, two sizes) - today, prometheus unveiled his own versions of the same view (started several days ago, and covering much more territory). Great minds think alike. They're ALL beautiful! Check out both links. (Louis Wu 16:00:17 UTC)

Movie DB at TrickingIT
TrickingIT.com has set up a movies database where you can rate released films. At the moment, it's mostly just promotional info about recent or upcoming films (the majority of posts have no ratings at all)... but I guess the more people who use this, the more useful it will become. (You must be registered at that site to even SEE the database.) There's more info in a forum post made by Phan7om, as well as on the TrickingIT.com front page. (Louis Wu 10:26:41 UTC)

Warlock - in 3D
SketchFactor has posted another one of Bungie's delicious 3D screenshots, utilizing QuickTime to show the picture in 360 beautiful degrees. That's Sketch's body, flying in death on a platform in Warlock... (Louis Wu 00:02:39 UTC)

Happy Birthday, HIH!
High Impact Halo is a year old today! Amazing how a small site devoted to the vids of a single person has grown into the most comprehensive Halo tricking site on the internet, in one short year. Congrats, guys! (Ducain started a thread here - go spank him.) (Louis Wu 14:01:21 UTC)

From Greatness Comes Greatness
Motherstooth has started a new machinima series... it's called Miranda, and it focuses on your favorite female Halo 2 UNSC Captain. Episode One introduces her in a way you've never seen... she really IS pretty tough. Check it out! WMP9 format, 9.6 mb, hosted by That Weasel Television. Update: There's a QuickTime version up now, as well (9.4 mb). (Louis Wu 13:42:11 UTC)

PoA Space Beta (HaloCE)
Jack Bauer points out a HaloCE map he's working - The Pillar of Autumn, in space. The beta (as seen in the screenshots in the Gearbox Forums thread) look great! (Louis Wu 15:26:31 UTC)

Resurrection Writeups, Installment 2
Another Resurrection writeup - this one from retsamolah. Comes with some fun pics, and a movie that starts with a pretty cool intro, will make you queasy with the b-roll gamplay footage, and ends with the unveiling of the Mullins print these guys got for me. Amazing stuff. (There's another movie mirror from prometheus, if the two that rets supplied go down.) (Louis Wu 14:53:37 UTC)

April Fools Strip Returns
Many, many, MANY people have complained that they never got to see the original strip that started the April Fools joke about Stuntmutt leaving One One Se7en. It was originally pulled because the content was inflammatory - intentionally so, in fact. I've reinstalled it... but I've added a disclaimer to the page itself, so that people running across it randomly in the future won't send off letters expressing how offended they are. If you don't find it in poor taste, fine - but if you do, remember that it was INTENDED to be in poor taste; this is not Stuntmutt's personal opinion, nor mine. (Louis Wu 11:49:17 UTC)

The Majesty of Space
Awesome HUDless widescreen shot of Cairo Station, from the outside, by prometheus. If you like what you see, be SURE to explore the Halouvre - there are more items like this. (Louis Wu 17:27:02 UTC)

Resurrection Recap, Part 1
The first few writeups of the lanfest here are posted - nukedude put up a bunch of pics, KP blogged it, goatrope got in on the action. I'm sure there'll be more (I've even got some stuff of my own to write this time around)... but this is a decent start. (Louis Wu 10:52:55 UTC)

Weekly Whaaa?
I hesitate to even post this link, given that it's no longer April 1, and people have shown that no matter WHAT gets put on the internet, SOMEONE will believe it... but it was pretty funny, so I'm posting it. Yesterday, as its final April Fool's joke of the year, Bungie put up a great Weekly What's Update, filled with questions that everyone has been asking, but answers that nobody expected. And while I'm here... thanks to the many, many, MANY people who wrote in to tell us that many of the stories we posted yesterday were bogus - yeah, we know. That's what April Fool's is all about. (The one story that might need an actual update is the screenshot post from cookedGamers - apparently, those ARE UT2006 shots, as rapture suggested (I thought mockingly) at the bottom of his news post. They just LOOK like Halo shots. I can't begin to list all the people who wrote to us about this - but thanks, all of you.) (Louis Wu 11:34:48 UTC)

New Columns at Team Tabula Rasa
Team Tabula Rasa has two new columns on Halo 2 strategy online - Furiont opens his 'The Making of a Spartan' column with a recap of how he got started in all this, and Faewraith113 fires up his 'Sententia per Antiquus' column with a piece called 'Community of Electrons', which looks at the growth and evolution of the gaming community over the past 20 or 30 years, and how Halo is helping to bring this to the next level. Go check 'em out! (Louis Wu 14:42:09 UTC)

Call for Help - Artist Needed
Overswarm is almost ready to start posting his Strategy guides... but he realized that many of his pieces would be better if he had an artist working with him. If you're interested in helping out, and have some talent, drop him an email! (Louis Wu 22:52:24 UTC)

Buyin' Stuff for MLG
Bigsauce is pretty excited about the new MLG Online Store... because the very first player shirt for sale is his. For AR lovers everywhere! (There'll be other player shirts, with all the big-name Halo pros you've watched...) (Louis Wu 15:27:02 UTC)
