Balance of Power
The Codex, Episode 11, 'Balance of Power', has been posted at the Codex website. A solid episode, plotwise... it explores the relationship between the Praetor and the Cleric. There will be no episode next week; the top news post on the main page explains why. It's really nice to see a machinima team planning ahead! Go grab this episode today. Thanks, aardvark36.

The Codex Ep 10 - Rescue
Episode 10 of the Codex has been released; it had been delayed due to technical difficulties, necessitating some refilming, but I must say, it didn't suffer from the delay. This episode is fantastic. Great cinematography, great battle scenes, wonderful plot advancement. A must-see. Available in Quicktime format now - coming soon in DivX and WMP9. (We're happy to host a mirror, if the bandwidth is needed.) Thanks to drelnathi for the heads-up on our forum. (Louis Wu 12:14:37 UTC)

Opening Moves
The Codex, Episode 8, has been released. Action's a little slow, but character development is topnotch. (What's a good story without an evil villain?) Available, as usual, in QuickTime, DivX, and WMP9. (If you're feeling lost, storywise, be sure to check out the Characters and Story pages to catch up.) Thanks, StickyHelljumper.

The Codex Ep 7 now out
The Codex Episode 7 has been released - 'The Siege of Halo Base' features the shotgun action of Jack Foster. It's action-packed, and nicely filmed. Currently in QuickTime only, but DivX and WMP9 should be posted later today. (Louis Wu 15:24:05 UTC)

Ambush
Episode 6 of The Codex Series was posted last night - and wow, has the action heated up. This one has an original score and some great shot compositing. Overall, a fantastic battle sequence - two, actually. The Covenant shoot about as well as Imperial Stormtroopers... but that model worked really well for Lucas, so I say go for it! This series is shaping up to be one of the new stars in the Halo machinima firmament. Looking forward to Episode 7! (They've also got desktops available for download.) (Louis Wu 14:02:53 UTC)

Shadows in the Dark
The Codex, Episode 5, has been released - swing on by The Codex Series website to grab a copy, in QuickTime, WMP9, or DivX formats. Very nicely done suspense episode this time out. Looking forward to Episode 6! They mention on their site that they're pretty close to 1,000,000 page hits - with a day or two left in their first 30 days since the release of their first episode. Go visit, and push them over the line! (Louis Wu 11:28:13 UTC)

Regrouping
The Codex Series has released episode 4 - the humans have figured out how they might use the Codex to their advantage, at least in the short term. This one sets up action for the future, more than anything else. Go visit the site! (Apologies for my statement in an older Codex-related news post that incorrectly suggested that the Codex was on Earth - it's not.) (Louis Wu 11:16:53 UTC)

An auspicious beginning
Episode 3 of the machinima series The Codex has been posted. It's called "Aftermath", and it's available in Quicktime format for now; with Divx and WMV versions coming soon. The plot thickens... (Count Zero 02:28:29 UTC)

The Codex Series Episode 2
The Codex, a machinima series started a few weeks ago, released episode 2 last night. Currently available as QuickTime only (but with DivX and WMP9 coming soon), this episode continues the storyline of a Covenant invasion of Earth, aimed at recovering an ancient Forerunner artifact. As with previous releases from this team, this vid shows off great camera work, solid voice acting, and a plot that's not just there to validate the filmmaking. Grab a copy! (Nerrolken started a thread on our forum, and HALOChat has already chimed in with mirrors; both at HALOChat and at Filefront. (Louis Wu 16:07:41 UTC)

The Codex - Episode 1
The Codex, a new machinima series that released a trailer about a week ago, has made good on its promise to release Episode One on February 9th. Go visit for the new episode (QuickTime now, WMP9 and DivX coming very soon), as well as lots of new updated content.
We'll be posting mirrors if they decide they need them; this one's quite nicely done. (Louis Wu 01:41:37 UTC)

More Movie Stuff
Man... you can't take a night off around here, things just move too fast. Okay, while I was sleeping (and other stuff), we heard:
- Ripp0n's Montage got another pair of direct download mirrors; a bunch of you have gotten it via BitTorrent, but for those who can't, HALOChat has put it up via HTTP, and there's another copy at That Weasel Television. Check yesterday's news if you don't know what this is about.
- Sharkface217 created a Halo PC Tribute Video, and released it at the Gamers Alliance. I'm not sure I get it, completely... but there it is. 31.5 mb, WMP9 format. (For me, personally... if I were a new HaloPC player and this was the first thing I saw... I'd probably pick a different game.)
- Devin Olsen released his own Halo 2 Montage vid - just under 19 mb, WMP9 format. Lots of Killtaculars and above. (Some good footage showing the potency of the plasma pistol/magnum combination... I love the Colossus 'attack while in the air, kill before you land' kill.) Update: this one, too, is having trouble - Devin asks for mirrors. If you can help him out, drop him a line! Update 2: Yayap to the rescue!
- Craven47 posted a short (43 second) 'Dance Movie' (3 Spartans jumping around on Lockout) on Putfile. Just over 5 mb, WMP9 format.
- That Weasel, always around to help, has mirrored a whole bunch of OTHER recent movies, besides Ripp0n's - The Codex Trailer, Vehicular Pwnage, and the Sleeping player are all there now.
I'm sure there are/will be more over the course of the day - but I'll make a new post later. And the bandwidth just keeps going up, up, up, up... (none of this is ours, though.) (Louis Wu 14:08:41 UTC)

The Codex - up again
Last night, we posted links to a trailer for The Codex, a new machinima production. Their server melted. They moved to a new host, and the links are back online, with smaller downloads (which means more people can view them)... and to make sure it doesn't happen again, we've tossed up mirrors on mythica.org and files.bungie.org.
- DivX (12.0 mb): Home Site | mythica.org | bungie.org
- QuickTime (12.2 mb): Home Site | mythica.org | bungie.org
Go grab 'em! (Louis Wu 21:28:53 UTC)

The Codex - coming soon
New video to watch - a preview of things to come. The project is called 'The Codex', and the trailer is a bit over 3 minutes of tight camera work, beautiful edits, and great coordination with the soundtrack. Hard to tell yet how the plot will hold up... but the trailer certainly leaves you wanting more! Visit their Videos page for download links for QuickTime and DivX formats. A thread was started up on our forum, as well... be sure to leave 'em some feedback! Update: As many, many of you have noticed, the Codex website is offline for going over their bandwidth limits. I'll see what we can do about getting local versions up here to help 'em out. (Louis Wu 02:15:43 UTC)
