A Tale of Two Sneakers
The gameplay sessions behind the Press curtain were off-limits to cameras; this was not because anything new was being shown (you've already read dozens of writeups of the gameplay), but because Bungie didn't want to have to deal with folks judging the game by bad shakeycam footage. However, there are ALWAYS fans who want shakeycam footage, and there are ALWAYS people willing to try and sneak in and get it. A couple of guys over at the Opa Ages forum did just that; there are a bunch of clips of surreptitiously-filmed screens showing the CTF games folks were playing. Quality sucks - but that's shakeycam. For the hardcore Halo 2 fan who needs EVERY SINGLE SECOND of footage... go visit. (There's also a pretty funny writeup and a few dozen photos.) Thanks, Adam Vokes. (Louis Wu 18:15:30 UTC)

Comics... a little late
Okay... I'm not home yet (Still in LA for another 24 hours), but I'm finally getting a few minutes on a computer; time to say a HUGE thank you to 3of9 for his amazing coverage as all the rest of us abandoned the site for E3. I'll try to post a few things over the next few hours - I thought I'd start with Friday's comics, which I neglected to post (or let 3 know how to post). Halo: Resolution introduces a new character... and One One Se7en does too. (Different characters.) Go check 'em out! (Louis Wu 03:42:25 UTC)

Oh, before I go...
Couple of updates from Bungie.net that are worth a note; They've moved Webcam #2 to the show floor; you can watch the show from on high (and you'll be able to see the fanfest tonight). Details about this are here. They've also added the turret shot we noted a couple of days ago to the Screenshots archive, though I can't seem to get it to work right now. Stay tuned! And now I'm REALLY off. (Louis Wu 07:19:18 UTC)

Sword Faceoff
Alucard found an image in the Gamespy Screenshot collection that's more of a Wallpaper - but it's an interesting image, nonetheless. Check it out! (Louis Wu 10:58:05 UTC)

Screenshot Analysis
Alex Edelman has written up a screenshot analysis of the new ODST shot on Bungie.net; you can find it on his [HOH] website's Article Page. He adds that other shots will be analyzed as well. (Louis Wu 10:39:38 UTC)

Well, 'The Monitor' is kind like 'The Watcher'...
Gholsbane, operator of our sister site Myth.bungie.org, took a look at the new Halo 2 stuff and noticed something few who hadn't followed Bungie before Halo would- there's something in one of the screenshots that we may have seen a long time ago. More details can be found here. (Count Zero 19:32:13 UTC)

Uber-hi-res screenies
Deimos Fawkes remembered to go looking for the good stuff; the Xbox Press page has a zipped archive of 7 of the recent screenshots (everything at Bungie.net, except the ODST shot), in a 3.7 mb package. Why would you want this? Oh, because they're 2560x1920 pixels... with no watermarks, maybe? (Louis Wu 14:34:04 UTC)

Another contest comes to a close
On January 30, c0ld vengeance started a contest to pick the Halo 2 release date; the first poster with the correct date would win a copy of Halo 2. Looks like that lucky winner is JPJ007... congrats! (Thanks, Gutupio, for doing the legwork.) (Louis Wu 13:37:06 UTC)

There was a ninth. You couldn't have known. I haven't forgotten.
Once again, webmasters have neglected to account for nosy viewers. If you look through the new Halo 2 screenshots at Halo2.com, you'll find that they BEGIN at image02.jpg. Like any good Bungie fan, Mr. Zarquon substituted image01.jpg into the URL... and found a ninth, unlinked Screenshot. (We've archived a copy here, in case it gets yanked.) It's even a nice shot - not sure why it wasn't released. Update: Wow, interesting - terd monkey found ANOTHER new one there; they've left out the ODST pic, and included this one, instead. Odd! (Again, a local copy in case it's pulled is here. (Louis Wu 09:29:37 UTC)

Videos to fill your hard drive
The saturation coverage continues; Gamespot has a 235 mb version of the Halo 2 demo from the Press Conference available for Gamespot Complete members. (They've also put up their own 'Impressions' article.) IGN has put up a 340 mb WMV raw feed of the entire conference itself (minus a 5 minute parody show that MS wouldn't let them film) for Insiders. IGN's Halo 2 media page contains 5 new short movies - low-res WMV versions for the masses, hi-res QuickTime for Insiders. I'm sure there'll be more - but this is a reasonable start. (Remember, ALL of this stuff is shakeycam footage. Some of it is very GOOD shakeycam footage - but it's not direct feed. That won't come until later.) (Louis Wu 09:02:46 UTC)

No silly title necessary
At the conclusion of Microsoft's press conference, a ton of new Halo 2 content hit the net. Firstly, Bungie.net has 8 new screenshots from the Zanzibar level being shown off at E3. Secondly, there's some info on the Halo 2 Limited Edition, which was only just revealed at the event. Thirdly, TeamXBox was the first site to post a shakycam video of the Halo 2 portion of the event, which is available in 4 parts here. That ought to keep you all busy for a while :P (Count Zero 06:19:39 UTC)

November 9th
IGN is first out of the gate with a hefty preview of Halo 2. They start off the article with, surprisingly enough, a "firm" release date of November 9th. The rest of the article is so much info, I think my head exploded... and I only made it to page 2.

I don't even know where to begin to tell you about the massive wealth of information provided in this article... so I won't. All I can say is go read this article! (3of9 03:33:16 UTC)

Lots of goodies, coming soon!
The Microsoft Press Briefing from E3 kicks off in about 5 minutes; all the really good stuff will be shown here, first. No, we weren't invited. However, SketchFactor posted a note at B.net a few hours ago, promising lots of goodies as soon as it's over:

As soon as the briefing concludes we'll have our finger on the 'submit' button ready to unleash a barrage of screenshots and new information. Stay tuned!

There's also some juicy info about what's coming over the course of the week - go read the whole thing! (Louis Wu 01:54:03 UTC)

BGH The Comic
Eep - Battleground: Halo started its own comic a few days ago, and I missed it. Check out the lives of the BGH staffers... or something. (Louis Wu 17:47:35 UTC)

The Bungie Community - yeah, it rocks
Ever wonder where Bungie came up with the idea for the 7th Column community site? Well, Frankie sat down with the primary stooge- erm, mastermind, Max Hoberman, and got the lowdown, which he then wrote up into a story for Bungie.net. Then he attached a great interview with Miguel Chavez, Bungie's Number One Fan and the Master of BS... and the combination makes a great read. Just in time for next week's Fanfest IX (dang, they're starting to look like Superbowls or something), get nostalgic and see where the Bungie fanfest got its roots! Thanks to Zig-Zag for noticing.

Getting new data into HCE - a summary
One of the big 'gotcha's so far with the HEK is the lack of ability, out of the box, to export new data from 3ds max into a format that the HEK tools can read. The HEK comes with a version of the Blitzkrieg exporter (the file that does the translation work) that works with 3ds max v5.x. Yesterday, Gearbox released exporters for 3ds max 3 and 4; you can find these at Cortana.org on either the Quick Downloads page or the Tool File Downloads page. However, there are still two groups left out; those using the newest 3ds max 6 (Gearbox has said they're willing to consider creating a plugin if the demand is high enough, and a thread has been started on the Gearbox forums to provide evidence of this demand), and those without the cash to buy a copy of 3ds max at all. Last year, Gearbox said they'd do their best to create an exporter for gmax, discreet's free 3ds max-derived creation tool, but there's been no word of that recently. However, all is not lost; Xzzy, a longtime Bungie fan and a prominent creator of HaloPC tools, posted a note last night that suggested that he's not too far from creating the plugin himself. (He's out of town for the next week, so it won't happen right away, but he sounds pretty optimistic about the possibilities.) In the meantime, baldactor, a mod on the Gearbox forums, has posted a thread with info on how to get hold of a 30 day trial of 3ds max 5, for those who WANT Max, don't already have it, and can't find anything but 6 right now. Whew! Does that sum up the mess at this point? Update: I missed this thread; Scott Velasquez of Gearbox says he'll be 'looking into adding 3DSMax 6 support in the near future...' Good news!

Legend
So I'm lookin' through the uploads folder, and there's this huge movie, and the name rings a bell. Someone named Mike just sent an email about it. Half the guys I know are named Mike... could be anyone. So I grab it and I start watching it, right? And it's a little slow... another black-and-white legendary thing... I'm thinkin' I've seen too many of these... oh, good, there's some color. Okay, so he's playing through pieces of the game, big deal, why am I was—hey, he's pretty good with that plasma pistol! So my son wanders into the room, and we watch him take down a few elites with nice snipershots. And then there's this balls-to-the-wall jump-out-of-the-banshee attack on a Wraith. Cool. Something's tingling, though - I've seen this style before. About the time we watch The Best Gold Elite Kill Ever, I'm scrabbling back through my email, trying to place this guy. Hmm... random AOL address, nothing's jumping to mind. The Steel Trap is definitely rusted. A quick search... Mike Miller sent in two of the best vids we've seen (In Too Deep and Winning Isn't Everything), and now he's taken the hat trick with Legend. 30 mb, QuickTime format, 8:32 long. There's a copy at Mythica, too, just because I haven't stressed Brian enough recently. You gotta watch this, just for the outtakes at the end. And that elite kill. (And the pair following it.) And Mike - I'm really sorry I didn't recognize the address. Though I must say, having the movie unfold like that was worth not knowing. Update: We've got 4 mirrors to tell you about for this film - Coerce.net has mirrored it, as has clarksbrother, in three places (here, here, and here). If our main sites begin to lag, grab a mirror! (Thanks, guys!) (Louis Wu 00:19:50 UTC)

Dos and Don'ts
Yesterday, Red Loser did a great job of summarizing the Enkidu saga to that point. Today, he updated to account for the newest terminal (first noticed, it seems, by anoncreativeguy). There's plenty of Enkidu speculation spread throughout our forum, and other forums... but if you're confused, this is a pretty good place to start. (Louis Wu 19:11:59 UTC)

HEK Tutorial - in readable HTML
Gearbox will be releasing Halo Custom Edition and the Halo Editing Kit very soon. In preparation for that event, Gearbox and Bungie released the HEK tutorial to a couple of websites so that fans could get a look at what they were up against, and maybe get started on external stuff. Unfortunately, the HTML of the original release was... well, shakey. Depending on which browser you decided to use to view it, you got somewhat random views of some sections. I've put in a solid chunk of work to make this package clean - I haven't removed the frameset (which is, I suppose, the next step), but these docs will look pretty similar on any browser now, and (maybe more importantly) will look mostly like what their authors intended them to look like. It's coded to be a standalone document; that is, I could zip up the directory and make it available for download, and folks would be able to use it nicely offline. I'm not sure we have the bandwidth for this right now (It's a 40 mb package), but we'll think about it. In the meantime, peruse what's there, and get ready for the release of HCE!

Update Archive up to date
We've added last Friday's Bungie Weekly Update to our Archive; you can use it to learn that Frankie's only mentioned Dave Candland twice since these started. Is this because Dave's work is secret, or because Frankie doesn't find User Interface progress very interesting, or because Dave spends most of his time surfing the net for Soffish porn? You decide!

Halo + PGR2 = Fun
WhiteRaBbit pointed out a fun Halo/PGR 2 composite he found. Adam Daniel pointed to a different thread on Bungie.net - started by the image's creator himself. Nice work! (Special mention goes to blinkmetoys, in the Bungie thread, who noticed it might be photoshopped.) (Louis Wu 18:50:05 UTC)

Motor Gulch
Dominator has whipped up a Motorcycle mod for Halo PC; there are currently screenshots and a movie on the Halomods forums. (The actual model hasn't been released yet.) The movie is large (33.5 mb, .rar-compressed), and duplicates footage... but overall it looks pretty nice. First notice of this goes to The Guardians, 3 days ago. (Louis Wu 12:38:09 UTC)

Late Update
Eep - forgot to archive the Weekly Update this week; it's now in our database. Remember... when you're looking for Paul Russel's contribution to Halo 2, this ain't a bad place to start... (Louis Wu 16:10:16 UTC)
