Lithium 1v1 Montage
Z pointed out Lithium's 1v1 montage over at Halo3forum.com - 8.5 minutes, 155 mb, nice editing, and some sick sticks and snipes. The use of fusion cores as placement engines is great - haven't seen much of that before. Check it out!

District and Uplift tours at Game Videos
Nelson, Game Videos, wrote to let us know that they've put up 'tours' of the two new Halo 2 Vista maps, District and Uplift. They're pretty bizarre vids; it looks like they're just the first time someone jumped onto these maps. There's no real attempt to point out the goodies and intricacies, it's just someone running (or driving) around... but you DO get a good look at what's there. (You also get a chance to watch someone try multiple times to drive a ghost through a doorway far too narrow for it...) (Louis Wu 01:40:40 UTC)

H2V Trailer Released
TheGhost sent us more news - Microsoft has just released a trailer for Halo 2 Vista, showing off the map editor, and the new maps (as well as some nicely crisp single-player footage). Check it out! (WMP9 Professional format, streaming - might be hard to see on a stock Mac.) (Louis Wu 21:48:32 UTC)

Fantasy Halo Part Three
In late march, we mentioned Parts One and Two of 'Fantasy Halo', a machinima project that turns Halo 2 into a turn-based RPG. Yesterday, Deep Reaver stopped by to let us know that Part Three had been released - and I have to agree with RVideo on our forum... this is the best of the bunch. It's 24 minutes long, and an amazing 88 mb small for the WMP9 (for a video that long, that's an incredible compression rate - and it looks pretty good, too). We've added a local mirror for this, and added a QuickTime version for those who can't handle WMP9. (The QuickTime is even smaller (77mb), due to the vagaries of Squeeze, and the quality is not as good; I simply didn't want to take the time to try a second time (it was about a 2-hour runthrough), so if you CAN use the WMP9, you should. The QuickTime is watchable, though - and you SHOULD watch one of them.) Funny stuff - and really, really well choreographed. (Louis Wu 18:03:47 UTC)

Visual Comparison - Halo 2 on 3 platforms
Gamespot has a video comparison of some of the improvements in graphical quality to Halo 2 - clips from the Xbox, Xbox360, and Windows Vista are all shown. Does a nice job (at least in the HD version of the vid) of really showing how much better the Vista version looks. (Louis Wu 13:38:44 UTC)

Halo the Movie (Heroes Version)
Okay - I went through all mail to us in the past week, and plucked out some stuff that didn't get mentioned, but maybe should have. It's in (mostly) chronological order... sort of. First up: NuclearPinguin and Lt tuma put together a trailer for Halo the Movie, using clips from OTHER movies; it's an interesting piece of work. You can watch it at YouTube.

The Wrong Crowd
CougRon pointed out that Red vs Blue Episode 96 was released for sponsors late Friday night (it'll almost certainly be available for everyone else by today sometime). There's definitely some funky stuff going on in RvBLand... and my goodness, aren't we thrown a few curveballs. Go watch (unless you're not a sponsor, in which case, wait a bit, and THEN go watch).

The Ultimate Showdown... Halo style
jarell88 took the net-famous The Ultimate Showdown music, and built a Halo vid. Nice work! (Louis Wu 18:06:43 UTC)

Catching up - forum news, starting in slipspace
Okay, on the assumptions that 1) KP and the crowd covering news this past week did a pretty good job keeping up with the halo at bungie.org address and 2) that everyone read my note last week and remembered NOT to send news to the lwu at bungie.org address and 3) that forum-based news had been covered pretty well through last Friday, I spent a little time digging through the last three days on the forum. Don't worry - I still plan to read through all that email; I just haven't gotten to it yet. (Real work is screaming at me, too.) So - here comes a series of quick pointers to forum posts that might contain information of interest to a wider audience. (I'm going to put them in their own news posts, to make things easier to find later.) First up - Nabsuh posted a new Slipspace animation a couple of days ago - looks great, and it's not too big!

OMG BANT
Dojorkan has pointed out a very cool video by ExileLord of HaloMods and the response was largely positive. The video, Why We Mod, appears to be an effort to dispell the generalization that all modders are cheaters by showcasing all of the awesome, fun, goofy things that real modders create.

Haloid - in Hi-res
So, a few days ago, we mentioned a pretty cool video by Monty Oum - it's a rendered fight between a Spartan and Samus Aran, and it's really, really, REALLY well-done. Since then, the version we mentioned (at Gametrailers) has gotten noticed by a LOT of websites, including big boys like Penny Arcade and Joystiq. It's nearing a million views there now - in just 3 days. (This has led, incidentally, to dozens of emails from people telling us we should front-page this puppy, because it rocks! - there IS a news search, you know. ;-> ) Well, Monty was kind enough to send us a high-res version to work with - so we're making two downloadable versions available. Both are 640x480, and much nicer to look at than the GT copy. The WMP9 version is 136 mb, the QuickTime version is 147 mb. Be gentle... Update: trigger119 points out that he's mirrored these at GamingTV, with additional options. (Louis Wu 17:34:49 UTC)

New H2V footage
Over at H2Vista, rapture noticed that Gametrailers has put up new Halo 2 Vista footage; multiplayer (including the new maps) and some single player (Gravemind and Cairo Station). Both regular and HD versions are linked. (Louis Wu 17:00:37 UTC)

Haloid.
Monty Oum released a pretty cool vid last year - had a bit of Halo content, so we mentioned it. (He's done quite a bit of other stuff, too.) He's just released his latest work - Haloid. It's not what you think. And even if it IS, it's got stuff in it you simply must see. Go watch. (Louis Wu 19:34:20 UTC)

Halo 2 vs Halo 3
Adam Kovic, over at machinima.com, put together a short video that compares some of the early Halo 2 alpha and beta footage to the final product, in the context of the Halo 3 alpha footage we're seeing. His point is that we really don't have anything to worry about. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:12:14 UTC)

FS2H Teaser Video
Devrous put up a teaser for FS2H, his Freespace 2 Halo mod project. 25.5 mb, DivX format; we're hosting a mirror in case his server gets swamped. (Louis Wu 12:37:17 UTC)

Halo: Fall Of The Flood
A couple of days ago, we got mail from Benjamin Bailey-Webb, touting a short animated vid he and a friend made - I didn't find time to watch it until this morning. It's short, it's sweet. 4 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats; check it out! (Louis Wu 13:00:25 UTC)

Lost: Halostyle Ep 13
Haloplayer stopped by to point out the second half of the Lost: Halostyle Season Finale - it's available in streaming format, plus 3 downloadable options, from their site, and (because we like this series so much, and because this episode is pretty darned funny) in several flavors from us, as well: we've mirrored the to larger WMP9 versions (720x480, 73 mb | 720x480, 169 mb) and added a pair of QuickTime versions (720x480, 72 mb | 720x480, 155 mb). There's a lot more death in this one than in previous versions... and you're certainly set up nicely for the return of the series, later this summer. Go watch! (If you've missed episodes, visit their website.)

Guitar Hero Gameplay, Revisited
Heh - you might remember a post last weekend where KP and e tried hard to play Halo 2 with Guitar Hero II controllers; fugitivesoldier ran across a video of someone doing a whole lot better playing the ORIGINAL Halo with that controller. Check it out! (Louis Wu 11:23:44 UTC)

720p version of the Vidoc at TXB
darthbob noticed that a 720p version of the new multiplayer vidoc (clearly capped off a 360) is now available at TeamXbox.com. If you're hankering for the giant version, but don't have access to Xbox Live Marketplace, this is the next best thing! (Louis Wu 19:50:32 UTC)

Fan-made Halo Movie Trailer
Gryponosiris noticed a fan-made trailer for the Halo movie over at GameTrailers.com - it uses only officially released clips from Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Wars, but it's pretty nicely done! Very consistent. (Louis Wu 15:20:20 UTC)

Slipspace Animation
jtdoepke created an animation in Lightwave showing off his concept of a UNSC ship entering slipspace. Local versions are about 3 mb each, in QT and WMP9. Nice! (Louis Wu 15:17:54 UTC)

Robbers Unite Ep 1
bndud let us know that Robbers Unite, Episode 1, is now available on their website. It seems to have potential, though this episode dragged for me a bit. (Could be that I really, really, REALLY need sleep, so judge for yourself.)
