BornRazz/Halo 2 Frag Montage
Talk Xbox has posted an interview with BornRazz, who seems to be a random Xbox Live player who created a montage vid. (The montage itself is available for download in the interview.) It's not clear to me after watching what makes this deserve its own article... but it's there, and you can watch it. 19 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 12:22:29 UTC)

Halo - the Movie (ShadowX version)
ShadowX submitted a vid to the MPRRS last week, entitled 'Halo The Movie'. It uses Halo 2 cutscene footage, married to dialogue from the Final Fantasy trailer (much as Brian Josselyn did three years ago for the original Halo) - some reviewers felt that it actually impinged on Brian's intellectual property. (I can't accept this - it's game footage and a trailer soundtrack, and the clips that ShadowX used are different than the ones Brian used.) He's done a nice job picking relevant clips, and the vid is quite small (7.7 mb for the WMP9 version, 8.2 mb for the QuickTime version) - so what are you waiting for? Go grab it! Update: We got a rather strange series of emails about this - apparently, this movie WAS made by ShadowX, but was not SUBMITTED by ShadowX. He told me that it WAS inspired (heavily) by Blackstar's film (which, by the way, was re-encoded by Blackstar sometime back, and can be found in its latest form on this page), and that he (ShadowX) would rather be judged by his newer film, which he mentioned here. The only mystery remaining is who is the guy who submitted this movie... and why? (Louis Wu 21:28:05 UTC)

Cairo Station
Over on the High Impact Halo forums, comradx released Cairo Station, the first of seven episodes that will make up his full-length feature film based on Halo 2. A significant percentage of the film is made up of cutscenes from the game - but then, if he's reproducing the Halo 2 story, doesn't it make sense to use them? The movie is almost 40 minutes long, and contains some great camerawork. (I haven't had time to watch the whole thing yet - but I'm impressed so far!) comradx has released a 120 mb WMP9 version via YouSendIt - likely by the time you read this, it'll be offline. There's a slightly lower-res version hosted by trigger119, at halomachinima.com. We got word of this too late to be able to help out at the moment - but it's possible I can get something online in the near future. (It won't be today.) Go watch! (Thanks also to Ibeechu for additional info.) Oh, yeah - and don't forget to download the credits video as well! (Louis Wu 20:33:22 UTC)

Installation 451
trigger119 wrote to say that a new machinima trailer has been posted at Halomachinima.com - it's for a project called 'Installation 451', and the trailer's nicely done. WMP9 and QuickTime. Go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 12:46:02 UTC)

This Spartan Life
A few days ago, we got email from Matt Cheeser, alerting us to 'This Spartan Life' - a pretty unique concept; Damian Lacedaemion is a talk show host who uses Halo as a set. His guests talk about a lot of things - games, yes, but plenty of other things. It's machinima... mixed with talk show television. It's fun. There are five episodes so far. (They got a pretty good review on G4's Attack of the Show - we've taken this long to mention them because we wanted to help with bandwidth first, and setting up took a little while.) Go watch!

The Codex - smaller downloads
Dennis Powers sends word that he's re-encoded the Codex Series vids to be a more appropriate filesize for the 320x240 presentation they are generally released with; the new files should be much more palatable to bandwidth-challenged downloaders. You can find the new versions in the 'Codex' section of the GearboxGameZone Movies site. (Louis Wu 18:12:23 UTC)

Lots and lots of Halo vids
That Weasel, of That Weasel Television, writes to point out that last week TWTv added fifty more Halo Exclusives to their video collection, bringing the total number of TWTv-exclusive vids to over 500. Go look! (Louis Wu 18:04:47 UTC)

Episode 16: Betrayal
Episode 16 of the Codex Series has been posted on their website - it focuses on the power struggle between the Praetor and the Cleric, and shows some great voice and camera work. The main QuickTime version has a problem - it will crash your player at around 5:08 - so get either the brightened QuickTime or the WMP9 versions instead. (The team is aware of the problem, and will fix it some time tomorrow.) Thanks to The An7i Flag for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 06:05:38 UTC)

Decision
Dennis Powers wrote to point out that Halo CE Chronicles 11 has been released - 'Decision' shows the Station AI in an uncomfortable situation. 7:36 long, 23-24 mb depending on flavor (QT or WMP9). You can grab the version of your choice at the Halo CE Chronicles website (or any of the other GearboxGameZone sites, for that matter). (Louis Wu 19:08:50 UTC)

Retox
Another vid passed the MPRRS recently - Hogmasta's Retox, a montage of Halo 1 footage cut sharply to a remix of Linkin Park's Faint. Video quality leaves a bit to be desired, but it's great to see older footage integrated so nicely with the music! It's available in WMP9 (22.9 mb) or QuickTime (23.8 mb) formats.

Chuck of July
That Weasel writes to let us know that Grunts Are People Too!!! released episode 13.1, celebrating July 4 (a little late). Divx-only right now, but QuickTime and WMP9 should be coming soon. Update: GearboxGameZone has put up QuickTime and WMP9 versions of this film. Thanks, Dennis! (Louis Wu 14:08:44 UTC)

Zelda mod - sword work
Wave of Lag pointed out a 12 mb movie over on the Gearbox forums, showing some of the sword stuff in the upcoming Zelda mod for HaloCE. Looks pretty nice! (WMP9 format.) (Louis Wu 13:59:05 UTC)

Long Day at Headlong
The Final Supremacy website has put up Episode 3 (Part 1) of their machinima series 'Black and White' - this one's called 'Long Day At Headlong, Part 1'. Available in both DivX and MPEG formats, 43-100 mb (depending on flavor). An awful lot of rebels bite it in this one! (Louis Wu 23:39:09 UTC)

War of the Species
One film that didn't make it through the MPRRS recently was called 'War of the Species' - most reviewers liked it, but a couple gave it low-enough scores that it didn't clear the passing hurdle. However, one of the reviewers liked it enough to offer hosting on his own - NINJ4, of the HBO Forerunners clan, has made it available on his site. 9.7 mb, WMP9 format. It uses Halo 2 cutscenes from the Cutscene Library combined with a soundtrack from the War of the Worlds trailer - it's different than the one we mentioned here (which is unfortunately no longer available). Nice scene choices, in my opinion. Update: this has now been mirrored by trigger119 at Halomachinima.com. Thanks! Update 2: ShadowX pointed out that his video IS still available - you can find links to copies at GameTrailers in this forum post. Grab it, and compare the two! (Louis Wu 19:51:15 UTC)

Banshee Riding Part 2
PhantomTheoden and TheDaringDuke have followed up thier April release of 'Banshee Riding' with Banshee Riding Part 2, a tutorial in Noob Boosting, Smacking, and other techniques for quickly moving a flag carrier from one side of the map to the other via a banshee. This passed the MPRRS a few days ago, but we've been slowly clearing out the queue. You can grab it in WMP9 format (20.8 mb) or QuickTime format (22.1 mb). Watch it and learn new tricks!

RtG - save 150 mb
Nirvana has put up a low-res version of Halo 2: Road to Glory, the fan-made documentary released last week. It's 280 mb in WMP9 format (QuickTime coming tomorrow), and available for direct download. If 421 mb was too much for you - grab this one! (Louis Wu 15:58:35 UTC)

Stubbs Highlight Reel
IGN has new Stubbs the Zombie videos for you to download. One of them was released last month (mentioned in our forum, but somehow missed on the front page) - the other is totally new. Man... that unholy flatulence looks to be a powerful weapon! Thanks, Ma1agate. (Louis Wu 15:31:31 UTC)

Halo: Fate's Destiny
trigger119 pointed out a new trailer hosted at the newly-redesigned Halomachinima.com - Halo: Fate's Destiny takes place after the in-game story ends, and looks at the final 5 remaining Spartans. It's filmed in the HaloCE engine, with additional CGI elements. The trailer's quite short - but pretty! Update: there is now a QuickTime version up as well. Thanks! (Louis Wu 14:42:42 UTC)

Mythbusterz - Episode 1
Continuing with the recent spate of MPRRS-passed vids: freejack905, of the Necrosis Clan, submitted 'Mythbusterz - Episode 1', a remake of an episode of the Discovery Channel show on driving while impaired. Nice linkup of existing audio to Halo footage! Grab it in WMP9 format (30 mb) or QuickTime format (31.4 mb). (Louis Wu 16:06:11 UTC)

Warthog Exploration
TeamXbox has put up a series of videos showing Warthog Jumping on the new maps - nothing that a regular visitor to High Impact Halo hasn't seen, but pretty interesting for a high-traffic general Xbox site! Watching hogs get toasted by Terminal's train hasn't gotten old yet... WMP9 format, 15-30 mb each. (Louis Wu 13:12:18 UTC)

The Squadron Trailer
Another of the recent torrent of movies clearing our Movie Peer Review Rating System is a teaser for an upcoming machinima series. 'The Squadron - Advert' is a short trailer for the upcoming season of (yeah, you guessed it) The Squadron, a human-vs-covie matchup. 2:05 long, available in WMP9 (7.2 mb) or QuickTime (6.8 mb).

SWAT Halo69 Montage 6
This was posted a week ago on Halo2Forum.com - but SWAT Halo69 mentioned it on our forum yesterday; it's his 6th montage, and it contains some very nice footage with great timing. (Music choices are... questionable - but maybe that's just for folks who need songs not to be strings of curses.) It's huge - 75 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 12:20:16 UTC)

Launching Evolved - now in QT
Gah. I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot. We mentioned a movie from High Impact Halo - a montage of Warthog launches put together by Dark Helmet - and I said that if there was any demand, we'd put up QuickTime versions, as well. There was demand - so I posted a high-res QT (40.9 mb) and a low-res QT (18.7 mb). Grab the one that suits your needs! (Louis Wu 05:07:14 UTC)

Road to Glory - Direct
[HC] D-Man posted a direct download linkto the WMP9 version of Halo 2: Road to Glory; it's still available via BitTorrent (see the original news post for details), but if you can't (or won't) use BT, check this out. It's hosted on FileFront, which means you have a pretty good chance of getting the entire 421 mb file without the server dying. The QuickTime version should be posted soon. (Louis Wu 05:02:09 UTC)
