Yet another reason to want that HEK
Mrs. Doublefire has posted new screens of his Halo 2 Battle Rifle, reproduced for Halo PC. Very, very nice. Thanks to Devin for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:52:35 UTC)

Halo Init Builder v1.0
Sedgr has posted a small app that can more easily build init.txt files for Halo PC dedicated servers. It requires .Net to run. A link is here, in our forum; some screenshots were put up on Gearbox's forum. I had some problems actually SAVING the file (apparently, my .Net configuration disabled that particular function in this app)... but it SEEMS useful. Take a look! Update: turns out my problem was due to the fact that I wasn't running it on a local drive. If you have a .NET-related problem, try ensuring that the application is running locally. Works very nicely! (Louis Wu 16:45:31 UTC)

WE CANNOT POST SCANS OF CURRENT MAGS
Please - to the dozens of people sending us links to the hi-res scan of the latest OXM issue (with the new 'Snowblind' screenshot): our policy is exactly the same as it always was. We do NOT post images from, or links to, scans from magazine issues that are still on the newsstands. In this case, they're not even on the newsstands yet; the issue doesn't officially come out for a few days. Folks putting up scans are subscribers, who get the magazine early. Please don't take money out of the pockets of magazine creators; do it enough, and there won't BE any more magazines to scan. Bungie will be releasing a hi-res version of that picture on their website as soon as the latest issue of OXM is on the shelves... please, please be patient. (Louis Wu 20:35:58 UTC)

The Pics Don't Stop!
The HUDless Screen Parade goes on. MereCatfish has submitted his own collection (along with a short movie of a teamkilling Gold Elite, who eventually commits suicide in remorse) to our forum, here. (Louis Wu 19:06:10 UTC)

Streaming Halo Goodness
synide is starting up a new venture: haloTV. He intends to stream Halo videos 24/7 via winamp, eventually including big Halo matches shown live. For now, he's looking for suggestions for movies to include in the rotation. Add your thoughts to this thread. (Louis Wu 17:38:59 UTC)

The Master Chief Invades Texas
Want another look at that Nightmare Armor in action? Webshift jumped on to our forum to remind folks that they'll be in Austin, at the Alamo Drafthouse (with the RvB crew), starting at 6 this evening... stop by and see them in the BLUE armor! (Louis Wu 16:56:30 UTC)

Guest Stars.
We have a special Guest One One Se7en strip for you today; it was created by Stuntmutt himself, and it ushers in a new age of Guest Strips. By order of the Grand High Poobah (that would be Stuntmutt), there will no longer be any guest strips posted during the week. One One Se7en will come out 3 days a week, as it did when it started - all strips will be his. Once per month, all submitted strips will be added, via the Archive mechanism. There are other (relatively large) changes in the works... but no more on that until we're ready to announce them. In the meantime, enjoy this tribute to Guest Strippers everywhere from the man who inspired them. (Louis Wu 16:08:17 UTC)

Team Sexy - Your One-Stop Tourney Shop
TS.Films has decided to open a new section of their website; it will be devoted to Tournaments. They're hoping to provide a centralized location where folks can post information about upcoming tourneys in their area, or results and recaps from tournaments they participated in. They've started the ball rolling with recaps of a couple of their own tourneys. Swing on by and send 'em YOUR info! (Louis Wu 10:43:58 UTC)

X-shots...
zarrel40 has put up his own batch of HUDless screenshots - this might be the first batch we've seen from a less-than-top-of-the-line graphics card. They definitely have a unique flavor. Check 'em out! (Thanks, Pico, for the nomenclature...) (Louis Wu 09:38:01 UTC)

Sapien Screens at C.org
Cortana.org has put up a pair of screenshots of Sapien, pulled from the upcoming Halo Editing Kit tutorial - does the fact that Gearbox has given permission for release of these two shots mean that the HEK isn't far behind? We can only hope... Thanks to can of corn for the first heads-up. (Louis Wu 09:23:39 UTC)

That Halo 2 shot is real
Just a quick heads-up: the multiplayer screenshot that can be seen in the latest issue of XBN (and which is floating around the net, in various mediocre scans), is the real deal; another new multiplayer map. We can't release the scan here yet (our policy is that no scanned print media is posted before the issue leaves the shelves; we do NOT want to contribute to the loss of sales for magazines), but Bungie will be posting a full-sized version on their website in the not-too-distant future. This note is purely to squelch the speculation that the image is faked - it's a real shot, released to several print sources simultaneously; XBN simply seems to be the first out of the gate with it.

The Homefront team adds a great artist
Wow. Chris Bryan (search for his name in our news, you'll find some pretty cool stuff) has joined the Homefront team (the group bringing Halo to Battlefield 1942) - and his first job is a piece of work! Check out the renders of his newly skinned Warthog in their latest news post. He's looking to start work on the Phantom next. (While you're there, check out the new Plasma Rifle, Patrol Boat, and Blood Gulch Base models, too.) (Louis Wu 13:42:58 UTC)

Project Halo - 7th Update
SanchezTheLlama has posted the next Weekly Update for Project Halo on our forum (and over at Halo.Fropco, as well - apparently, our forums aren't pretty enough for him :) ). It covers such tidbits as progress on the Airport level (seen in early screens last week), new battle sounds, info on their AIM bot, and a request for beta testers. Give it a read!

HaloGT - Insane Modding
(GT)Juggler has posted Halo GT Video 7 over at their website; it's a modding vid, showing off lots and lots and lots of different mods. 35.8 mb, 4:49 long, DivX-encoded .mp4. He's started a thread on our forum, if you'd like to comment. (Louis Wu 09:36:15 UTC)

Ansel Adams for the Rest of Us
XLNC has posted a rather extensive guide to Halo PC Hacking for beginners. The main thrust is to help people take cool HUDless screens like the ones he's been releasing for the past few weeks... but it's a good basic guide to applying patches in general, and a summary of the tools available. It was originally posted last night on our forum, but it's useful enough that we've given it a permanent home in our Miscellaneous section. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:23:47 UTC)

Windows XP UNSC Edition

Does the elevator work?

Bogus Screenshot Alert
We got mail this morning from Strato99, pointing out a bunch of purported Halo 2 screens. (The originals were housed on some student webspace in Sweden, but Strato said he found them in a forum somewhere.) These have been confirmed to be FAKES - please, if you see them around the web, don't perpetuate the myth! (Credit where credit is due - they're very good jobs.) You can see them here:
Congrats to the creator, whoever you are! Update: we got mail from Joakim Danung, the creator of these screens - seems they SHOULD have been an April Fools gag, but he was afraid they'd conflict with the rollout of the new Bungie.net. (I'd have to say he's being pretty pessimistic; I'm hoping the new and improved b.net will be comfortably worn in by the time April 1 rolls around...) In any case, some of these images will be resbumitted as miscellaneous art, in altered forms - so keep your eyes open! (Louis Wu 17:29:42 UTC)
