Cleanin' out the Wallpaper inbox
Two new desktop images for your perusing pleasure: ZMAN sends in a white-themed Halo image, and Germain Couët drops off another one of his very attractive Halo murals. (You'll need a pretty massive monitor to appreciate this...) Check 'em out in our Wallpaper section! (Louis Wu 22:27:25 UTC)

Full Halo review at VE
VoodooExtreme's full Halo review has been posted. An overall score of 95% (lowest rating: 90% for Replay value and Stability). It is a nearly perfectly positive review:
After playing through Halo a couple times I can safely say with no repentance that it's one of the most engrossing games I've ever played in my entire life.
[...]
Not many games with multiyear development cycles live up to fans? expectations, but I think that Halo is one of those rare exceptions. If you love sci-fi themed first person shooters, Halo is a must buy even if you have to wait for the PC or Mac version. If you have an Xbox, you must own Halo. It's just that simple.
However, there were a couple of things listed in the 'Cons' summary: framerate stutters (yes, still) and 'a somewhat anti-climactic ending'. (That's actually not an uncommon complaint about Bungie games - Oni is the most recent example.) There are no major spoilers - Apache goes out of his way to keep the scope of the information limited to what's already out there on the net. There are also two brand-new screens to go with the 5 released a few days ago (hi-res, and gorgeous). Go read this! (Louis Wu 14:11:53 UTC)

A pair of new desktops
Dusty sends in a pair of desktops for our Wallpaper section. That green one is pretty slick! Update: Bounty, from Battleground: Halo, points out that the green wallpaper submitted earlier today by Dusty was, in fact, taken from the screensaver included in the Microsoft-released Halo XP Theme released a week ago. The entry has been updated to reflect this. Please, folks - if you submit work, claim credit for it only if it's yours. Update 2: Sorry for the confusion. Unfortunately, I don't have a machine I can install this theme on (the Win98 boxes I have access to cannot be used for this) - I need to rely on others to let me know when stuff isn't right. From the original documents that Dusty has sent, it's clear that while the elements might have come from the screensaver, quite a bit of the enhancement work is his alone. The Wallpaper entry has been adjusted yet again. (Louis Wu 18:59:43 UTC)

Counter-Strike AR model for grabs
strykerwolf created a Counter-Strike model of the Halo assault rifle a little while ago - it's been polished since then (here's a newer screenshot), and we're hosting it for him. It's a tad over 400k - if you play Counter-Strike, go ahead and grab this! (There are no sounds included, for copyright reasons... but as we said last week, there's a nice little .wav of the assault rifle firing in the Halo XP theme Microsoft released recently.

http mirror for Halo theme stuff
B-Sharp mentions that he's mirrored the MS Halo theme package discovered yesterday - this is the broken-out sounds and images, not the installable theme. Fast connection, http protocol... this is worth a grab, if you didn't get it yesterday! (Louis Wu 08:18:18 UTC)

MS Halo Theme contents on HL
Wow - the demand for the Halo Theme distributed by Microsoft is huge - and for those who can't get it from Skeletor's web page, Funky J has made it available via Hotline - details can be found in this forum post. Again - even in its stripped-out form, it's full of goodies, including a high-quality M60 round sound (all you CS fanatics, take note) and some Craig Mullins artwork. (Louis Wu 01:00:14 UTC)

Build more walls, Mabel!
Wow - a wallpaper bonanza. Enforcer has uploaded no fewer than seven new images, in two major themes. I've grouped them, since they're so similar - you'll find descriptions of the variations on the main page for each theme. Just go visit our Wallpaper section and it'll be made clear.

Jay Faircloth, who burst onto the Bungie art scene only a couple of weeks ago, has submitted an enormous Halo piece (we've only posted his scaled-down version) to our Miscellaneous Art section, and three desktops in the same theme to our Wallpaper section. These are truly gorgeous... check 'em out. (Louis Wu 01:12:18 UTC)

A Fire Upon the Deep and Halo have a common theme
Hamish "Godot" Sinclair over at the Marathon's Story page has spotted a similarity between the Halo story and Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep". A genocidal alien alliance attempts to wipe out humanity and a lone human ship escapes with the alien fleet in hot pursuit! Weeee doggie! Another book to add to our Christmas list. :) (Wirehead 13:04:48 UTC)
