Wallpaper contest coming to a close
SEspider wants to remind everyone that the Wallpaper contest he started a couple of weeks ago is ending this Saturday, July 10. If you're planning on getting an entry in... now's the time to do it! (The rules, once again, are here in our forum.) (Louis Wu 14:08:40 UTC)

Goldie does AotCR... Again
Ash and Doggie (his son) managed to entice the Gold Elite at the very end of Assault on the Control Room to follow them all the way back to the start of the level - amazing! Ducain did a fantastic job of condensing the experience down to a 3:37-long, 14.3 mb video (wmp9 format) - you can find a link, and comments, in this thread. For those who can't use WMP9, a QuickTime version has been placed on mythica, as well (13.1 mb). (Louis Wu 08:28:16 UTC)

More Megabattle pics
The Megabattle technique pioneered by n00bles last week has been played with by other fans - it looks like fun! BOLL got started recently (that's a 299k JPEG - I'm guessing it's only the beginning), and yesterday VALENCE posted some shots on our forum. If past experience is any indication, I'm guessing that a flood of new visual content will be pouring out of the community soon. Update: Looks like MereCatfish is getting into the act, as well. Very nice set piece on Fissure Falls! (Louis Wu 08:23:56 UTC)

Decoy and Kill Valley Winter
Mothergoat has posted another pair of maps, with descriptions, for Halo CE. For the curious, there are also a few screenshots. Nice! (Louis Wu 08:09:44 UTC)

New Mombasa Pics
Whoa, missed it. Mrs Doublefire updated his long-dormant New Mombasa thread on the Gearbox forum with seven new screens - take a look! (Thanks to HaloPlanet for noticing this.) (Louis Wu 19:24:16 UTC)

aotcr_b - a multiplayer map
Yesterday, nukedude posted notice that his AotCR to multiplayer map release was out of beta and ready for final release. I visited the download page, but there were no screenshots - so I asked. nuke delivered. Check it out - this is a gorgeous map! (Louis Wu 15:11:18 UTC)

Game Crossovers... over the top
A week ago, Ross Mills challenged our forum to come up with some Halo-related game crossovers - alter a picture of Halo by bringing in elements from another game. There were a number of entries - a couple quite funny - but BOLL, as usual, can't be satisfied with a simple picture - he has to make a PLAYABLE GAME. Starts easy, but it gets hellish around 100.

More on that Maskless Grunt
Nice find by munkeypantsman... in one of the new screens released yesterday, there's a cowering grunt covering his face. What nobody else noticed (or at least nobody else MENTIONED) was that this grunt is NOT wearing his rebreather apparatus... but clearly, the shot was taken in an oxygen atmosphere (there's a marine on the LAAG with no helmet or external breathing equipment). Can Grunts breathe oxygen (at least for a little while)... or was this guy doomed even WITHOUT the MC shooting at him? (Louis Wu 11:53:03 UTC)

A Plethora of HUDless Screens
Wow. Halo Boy has posted an entire collection of HUDless screenshots - and they're very, very good. The entire set is hosted at Photobucket; if the bandwidth runs out because of this news post, drop us a line, we'll see what we can do about mirroring the files. (Louis Wu 11:27:28 UTC)

The Library Gets New Tomes
Saint mentions that the Library has been updated with a bunch of new entries and screens. If you haven't looked over this treasure-trove of Halo information, you really should - it's chock-full of goodies. (Louis Wu 10:51:00 UTC)

Halo 2 Content Flood
As expected, Bungie has released a great collection of new renders, new screenshots, a gorgeous new print art piece by Eddie Smith, and a great background piece on the technology behind the new shots. Go read, download, and otherwise revel in the new content! (Louis Wu 00:55:48 UTC)

More Halo 2 Screenshots from Kikizo.com
Kikizo.com has put up a massive collection of screens - it's all content that's been seen in recent print articles, but it's in digital form. Very nice stuff. Thanks to Zero Flaw for noticing. Update: Higher-resolution versions of some of the renders can also be found at Eurogamer.net (thanks, R.net). You know, of course, that the appearance of all this content on various websites means we'll be seeing higher-res versions from Bungie themselves in the forseeable future... (Louis Wu 19:31:23 UTC)

I Screen, You Screen, We All Screen for HUDless Screens
It's been a couple of months since the last batch... but XLNC is back with 10 new HUDless screenshots. These were taken using the detachable camera in Halo CE - which, unfortunately, only works when you're alone. (It's not networkable.) (Louis Wu 18:02:38 UTC)

One Entry That Won't Be Winning GNF...
Today's One One Se7en looks at our Going Nowhere Fast competition, and how Stuntmutt's run stacked up. (In truth, he's in third place, and had some pretty l337 moves near the start... as far as I can tell, he's still in the running for the grand prize.) That said, visual manipulation of photos of me automatically disqualify you from any meaningful compensation, so he's probably right. (Louis Wu 13:04:07 UTC)

Waldo ain't got nothing on the MC
Recently, Saint's been running some fun mini-contests on our forum, called 'Where's The Master Chief?' An invisible MC is placed somewhere in a screenshot of a Halo level, and it becomes your job to find them. (We haven't been front-paging these because the files are pretty huge (a front-page link might swamp psyjnir.org, the host), and because they're being solved fast enough just with forum regulars participating.) Yesterday, he upped the stakes a bit; instead of just the warm glow of knowing you found him fastest, Saint offered to make custom screenshots for the winners of a 6-image contest. The contest is here (with an extra screen here, to fix a mixup) - the 6 winning images are here. A nice change of pace! (Louis Wu 16:10:35 UTC)

New Mombasa Update
NiTrOuSoXiDe posted an update for the New Mombasa mod for Halo CE over on Halo Revolution - DHalo reposted it on Halomods, and scottisonfire found it there and posted it on OUR forum. (Viral marketing at its best.) Very sexy screenshot, and some drool-inducing text. Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:11:17 UTC)

Saturday Reading
18 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today - go read. That's the end of the news posts, I think - UCDI: Special Forces starts pretty soon. (Louis Wu 14:50:32 UTC)

Racing Times
A couple of new times have been added to the Going Nowhere Fast leaderboard - Truth and Reconciliation is now down below 25 minutes, and AotCR is less than 7 minutes. A reminder: The contest ends in a little over a week! That means if you're mailing a tape, it needs to get mailed SOON. (Rule 77 states specifically that the entry 'must be in the hands of a judge' - we're not talking postmarked, we're talking here.) At the moment, the cumulative time for the entire game, start to finish, is 2:46:11... can we get that down to 2:30? Come on, people! (Louis Wu 21:47:41 UTC)

Halo - on an IMAX screen
The third annual Maxgames tournament will take place in the IMAX theater in San Jose next month - a short article about it can be found on 1Up.com. The first iteration of this event was attended by vector40, who wrote up his experience for our audience. Thanks to Fuzion, this time around, for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 14:17:54 UTC)

It's coming...
smeginfrell has put together a Halo 2 teaser ad, using footage he's created himself using some 3D rendering/animation software. It's short (1:15) but sort of large (9.2 mb in WMP9 format, 9.6 mb in QuickTime format) because of its large screensize: 856x480 pixels. Very nice work, overall. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:55:02 UTC)

Halo2.com gets updated
Microsoft's Halo 2 splash site (Halo2.com) has been updated - all the new Game Informer screenshots have been added, as well as that amazing Eddie Smith artwork that showed up in the Swedish SuperPlay print article. (It can be found under 'Screenshots', which is sort of silly... but I guess they don't have a 'Wallpaper' section.) There's also a new section on awards and press accolades. Thanks to Fuzion for pointing out the wallpaper (and getting me to look through the site again). Update: there's a higher-res version of the Eddie Smith art (1600x844, with no black border) in the Bungie.net Halo 2 Print Art section. Thanks, Tocki (of Halo Orbit) and Deimos (of Subnova)!

My eyes hurt
moddedcyborg has put together a few 3D screenshots - the kind that need those cheesy red and blue glasses to see properly. Reaction is good, and I'm sure I'll enjoy 'em as soon as I can find my kids' copy of Spy Kids 3D... (Louis Wu 08:42:10 UTC)

Screenshots - the lifeblood of he who waits
The recent release of new hi-res screenshots from Bungie finally got me off my duff to update our Screenshots database; it's finally up-to-date. 193 shots were added today... not a bad day's work! (Louis Wu 16:23:37 UTC)

Behind the scenes - Magazine Pimpage
Wow. Frankie has posted an awesome interview/picture cornucopia over on Bungie.net; a discussion with Jeremy Zoss, Associate Editor of Game Informer magazine (about GI's visit to Bungie in preparation of last month's article), and a collection of more than a dozen VERY high resolution images (screenshots and concept art) that were eventually used in the story. If you've read the magazine (or our press scan), you've seen the pictures... but not like this. Go read! First heads-up seems to be from Wolfy, of Sector 7. (Louis Wu 02:38:50 UTC)

The Zanzibar Project
A new modding team has started up - the Zanzibar Project has posted its first weekly update on both the Halomods forum and the Gearbox forum. (It's pretty interesting reading the comments on the two sites - totally different feel to the communities.) They're reproducing the Zanzibar map for Halo CE. No word yet on a timeline. Thanks to Stefander for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:21:42 UTC)
