Donut or Bagel? Oh, wait, that's a different site...
Gah. I thought I could get away with not posting this... but there seem to be a lot of Gamespy fans among you. The current Gamespy Grudge match (visible on the bottom left of their home page) is between Halo's Master Chief and Half-Life's Gordon Freeman. Go vote. At the moment, MC's getting his butt kicked. First heads-up for this goes to jabond102, about 24 hours ago. (Louis Wu 01:28:35 UTC)

Master Chief - Roto Rooter Man
Forum regular Wado has pieced together the clues dropped by Bungie, and laid out the actual Halo storyline. They jazzed it up a little bit for the final product... but the basics are all there. (Louis Wu 13:28:30 UTC)

MC - again
The Master Chief action figure is once again available for preorder at the Bungie Store - if you can't find one locally, go reserve one from Bungie! Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:17:58 UTC)

More Action Figure Hoopla!
Joyride has updated their website with pics and info on the next series of Halo action figures to be released by the end of this month. They're listed on the left side of this page. It's the new Master Chief - Green, Master Chief - Red, Elite, and Ghost which includes 3 mini figures of Elite, MC, and Jackal!
Yes, we've known about these figures before, but now it's official!
I'm not sure what the difference is between the Series 1 MC and the Series 2 MC-Green. Is it just the weapon set? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. (Ding 06:05:30 UTC)

Get your sunglasses, baby.
Forum regular Dogsounds did some reskinning of the Master Chief - it's unlikely that his work would be approved by the UNSC, but we liked it enough that we added a page to our Miscellaneous section. Check it out. (Louis Wu 17:56:01 UTC)

But when are they releasing the Overshield model?
Whoa. Buy a Halo action figure, get a free Active Camouflage Master Chief from Joyride. (Supplies are limited - and free means $5 for processing... but still!) Thanks to sirBoB for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:58:53 UTC)

Now THAT'S pixel art.
PegNose, a regular on the Gamespot forums, created a slick animated gif (864K) showing the Master Chief in a pixel war with the Covenant. We've added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. It's really quite good. Thanks to Konrad9 for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 21:22:16 UTC)

Don't Try This At Home
Master Chief looks like he made a little mess in Blood Gulch... new screenie over at Gearbox's site. No modding needed - that's stuff you can get right from the configure multiplayer dialogues. Whoa. Thanks to spesalfred for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:08:38 UTC)

MCCC Mirrors

Master Chief Casting Call
TruthandReconciliation.com has posted a new movie - it's called 'Master Chief Casting Call', and it's about a couple of guys trying to cast a new Master Chief. They don't have a lot of luck... It's available from the site in two formats: WMP9 (18 mb) and MPEG (35 mb). It's 7:30 long. Go take a look! (Louis Wu 00:14:02 UTC)

Action Figures begin to show up
Pyxl writes that the Master Chief action figure is beginning to show up in some locations. "Some stores in West Virginia had them as of yesterday and those of us with 'Suncoast Video' stores will probably see them at the end of this week or early next." No word on other action figures, or the Warthog, though. (Louis Wu 17:13:15 UTC)

When Rockets are Cheap...
Okay, so BOLL decided to run with the info he learned yesterday about hacking Halo... and created a 4:42 long look at some of the absurd (but oh-so-cool) things you can do now. Want a LAAG gun that shoots Master Chiefs? You got it. How about rapid-fire rockets? Heck... how about plasma grenades? This has to be seen to be believed. So here's the deal. BOLL's put up three different copies for you to grab; they're all 320x240, and the same length, they just differ in compression:
- QuickTime (high framerate, 19.7 mb download)
- DivX (29.8 mb download)
- QuickTime (higher quality, lower framerate, 22.5 mb download)
In addition, I re-encoded the first version to be quite a bit smaller, without much loss of quality; you can grab the re-encoded version (15.7 mb) from two places:
To make matters even MORE confusing, BOLL is in the process of uploading the original (1.6 GB) version to our ftp folder; once we've got it, we'll create one or two QuickTime versions. One will be the same filesize as the existing movie (~15-20 mb), but much higher visual quality, the other will be larger (both filesize and screensize). If you only want to download once, you might want to wait until tomorrow. This one is a must-see; even if you're not excited by the hacking scene, it's a hoot to see how much damage you can do when you're standing in a tower of 3 dozen master chiefs and your assault rifle fires frag grenades... Update: Nick yanked his mirror last night. However, Team Ice has tossed it up; you can grab it from this page. (Louis Wu 02:33:25 UTC)

RvB/Bungie Shwag for the taking

Shootin', Tex.
Yesterday, we nearly forgot to post the second Sunday strip of One One Se7en. We're not going to make that mistake today. Monday's strip looks at some potential problems with the new dual SMGs the Master Chief will have access to in Halo 2. (Louis Wu 20:32:38 UTC)
