RvB Walkthrough of Gemini Posted
Red vs Blue has posted a 6:22 walkthrough of Gemini - Burnie warns you that this might spoil the initial experience of playing the map, because it's so detailed, but if what you really want is to know how to get around, you can't beat this. Hi-res WMP9 is 49.6 mb, low-res is 14.6 mb. We'll have QuickTime versions up for you a bit later. Go watch! Thanks, meesta pink. Update: We've put up QuickTime versions now: Hi-Res (50.2 mb) | Lo-Res (22.8 mb). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 16:19:18 UTC)

New Flythroughs Up
It's June 30, which means it's okay for us to post the final three map flythroughs that were created by Film Oasis for Bungie. You can find links for Backwash, Gemini, and Terminal on our Maptacular Vids page. Just a minute or so long each... but man, do they make you want to play these maps. Awesome stuff! Update: Apologies - the Terminal flyovers were named oddly - fixed now. Sorry! (Louis Wu 11:58:09 UTC)

Lots of Movie Mirrors at TWTv
Feenix writes to point out that both massive versions of The Harvest 2 (wmp9 and quicktime) are mirrored over at That Weasel Television, and they've put up mirrors of the Film Oasis flythroughs - Containment, Warlock, Sanctuary, Turf, Relic, and Elongation. Always nice to have more mirrors! (Louis Wu 11:46:35 UTC)

Ultimate Slayer - Again
A week ago, we mentioned a fun film by Final Supremacy - a story of a Team Slayer game on Coagulation. (That is - a machinima of a game, sort of.) We killed their bandwidth by mentioning it, so I told them to submit the film to the MPRRS for review, so we could help host it. The reviewers were unhappy with the long credits, and it didn't pass - by the smallest of margins. I'm putting it up anyway. 52 mb, zipped DivX format. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 21:18:49 UTC)

Relic/Elongation vids continue to spread
More copies of the Film Oasis movies - TeamXbox has the Elongation and Relic films, in WMP9 format, and Computer and Video Games has them as well (though at a smaller screen size), along with text writeups of the levels. Glad to see they're getting more press now! (Louis Wu 20:58:11 UTC)

Dymdez Montage 2 Trailer
Z, over at Halo2Forum.com, lets us know that they've released a trailer of Dymdez's next montage - some nice timing and lots of superfast snipes. DivX format, 15.6 mb. (Louis Wu 18:55:55 UTC)

The Harvest 2
trigger119 announced the release of Crossfire's 'The Harvest 2' yesterday on our forum - but things were so crazy I didn't get around to mentioning it. (This is partly because I wanted to watch it before I wrote about it - and the thing is 30 minutes long.) It's the full version of the vid we mentioned a trailer for a few weeks ago - film quality is pretty good, storyline works nicely. The BloodSignature team did a great job of keeping it all together for a half-hour video! trigger119 is hosting a WMP9 version at halomachinima.com for them (right-click/option-click to download - streaming won't work) - it weighs in at 114 mb. We've decided to put up a QuickTime version, as well, to help out - 110 mb. I'm actually pretty happy to see folks taking on more ambitious projects! (Louis Wu 14:06:19 UTC)

Another Four Official Flythroughs
There was some serious demand for the Relic flythrough we posted yesterday - seems when Bungie.net mentions something, folks come to grab it. We put a second copy online to handle the additional load - which seems to have lessened. Because of that, we've posted the four older flythroughs - Containment, Warlock, Sanctuary, and Turf. All of these have been online before - but these versions (especially the QuickTime ones) are higher quality than most of what has been released, and none of them have watermarks. (Speaking of lack of watermarks, GameTrailers.com has put up their own versions of Elongation and Relic - they're identical to the ones we posted yesterday, but it's always nice to have multiple sources! Thanks to Christian Andersen for letting us know.) (Louis Wu 13:45:06 UTC)

Maptacular gameplay
XboxZone, in Australia, has made good use of the early release of the Maptacular Map Pack down under - you can find 5 eight-minute movies (one for each of the new maps, all WMP9 format) showing lan play in the offices. Free registration for download required. Thanks to Rodney Campbell for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 05:49:02 UTC)

RvB Elongation Walkthrough, QT versions
Apologies for the delay - QuickTime versions of the recent RvB-created Elongation walkthrough (Hi-Res, 26.2 mb | Lo-Res, 12.2 mb) are now available from our server. I meant to get these up a couple of hours ago - family obligations made that impossible. If you'd rather have the WMP9 versions, they are, as they were 3 hours ago, available from Red vs Blue themselves. (Louis Wu 01:51:15 UTC)

Film Oasis Overviews - Relic
As promised, the Hi-Res Film Oasis flythrough/overview of Relic is up for your enjoyment - man, I love the timing in this one. Marty's music is SO well incorporated... wow. And the imagery and camera work give you a fantastic sense of the epic feel of this map for CTF games. Go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 22:43:28 UTC)

Elongation Walkthrough at RvB
Red vs Blue has released their next map walkthrough - this one is Elongation. Burnie's walkthrough is much less exciting than the Film Oasis version we released a few hours ago, but it's far more practical, if what you need is weapon placement and commentary on flow. (Grab 'em both!) We should have QuickTime versions available in a few hours. Thanks to many people - first was Ibeechu. (Louis Wu 22:33:03 UTC)

Maptacular Vids - the way they SHOULD be seen
Some not-so-standard promo vids of the new Maptacular levels have appeared recently - Containment was first, followed by Warlock,then Sanctuary and Turf last week. I've been a little unhappy with these releases - some have had encoding problems, others have watermarks or splash screens added by the sites releasing them. I did a little digging, and we've gotten permission to release high-quality, watermark-free versions of all of them. We're starting with one you haven't seen yet - Elongation. We'll add Relic later today or tonight, fill out the existing releases in the next couple of days, and then start on the final 3 maps. Thanks to the Xbox.com team, Film Oasis (who made them), and Bungie (whose fantastic work is so beautifully shown off in them) for helping make this happen! (Louis Wu 19:17:50 UTC)

RvB-created walkthrough of Backwash
Very cool. Over at Red vs Blue, Burnie Burns, who created walkthroughs of the first four downloadable maps a couple of months ago, is repeating the effort with the newer maps. A walkthrough of Backwash (41 mb in hi-res WMP9 format, 19 mb in low-res WMP9) is now available for sponsors (thanks, Sharky) - should be on the main page (for everyone) in the not-too-distant future. And as soon as we can, we'll have QuickTime versions up for you, as well. Good stuff! Update: The WMP9s are available for everyone now at RvB. Still working on the QTs. Update 2: QuickTimes are now available on our server - Hi-Res (43.3 mb) | Lo-Res (19.7 mb). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 17:14:07 UTC)

Shameless Showing Off
retsamolah has put together a fun montage - mostly it's to show KP jumping off various walkways on Lockout, I think (after taking slight damage from rets, so that rets gets the kill), but it's fun to watch. We're not hosting it - KP is, over at spartans.bungie.org. 49.2 mb, QuickTime format, nice matching of snipes to Mark Knopfler's awesome fingerwork near the end of the song. Do NOT watch this with the intention of rating skill, or because you like to denigrate folks who play in Team Training, or whatever - this is just for fun. Enjoy the construction - or don't bother watching it. (Louis Wu 17:36:43 UTC)

Kr4zed Montage
kr4zed submitted a montage vid to our Movie Peer Review Rating System - and the reviewers liked the timing, and the video effects. (They would have been happy with more spectacular gameplay - but apparently it was good enough to pass even with this gripe.) It's available in WMP9 format (36.6 mb) or QuickTime format (32.1 mb). Not bad for a fourteen-year-old! (Louis Wu 12:32:23 UTC)

No Scope King
Almost a month ago, (GT))Juggler posted a teaser for 'No Scope King', a vid he was putting together that collected no-scope snipes from various games. Last night, this movie was released, and promoted on halo2forum.com. (Bandwidth is being provided - in its entirety - by Mythica; the halo2forum thread is just an announcement.) Unless you enjoy wallowing in mud (and nastier substances), I'd suggest passing over the thread; many (most?) of the posts either rant about how Juggler must have cheated to create this footage, or rant about how stupid other posters are for not seeing this. I've played with Juggler - quite a bit - and I'm not at all worried about the veracity of this footage; he's quite a good sniper, with or without a scope, but more to the point, his skill isn't the point of this vid. It's about watching fun no-scope snipes. And Juggler does a really nice job putting them together. The video is 2:22 long, and weighs in at 35.8 mb in QuickTime format (720X480), or 26.4 MB in WMP9 format (600x450). (The WMP9 has the correct aspect ratio - the quicktime is a bit stretched. On the other hand, the QT has higher video quality, and is larger.) Go watch - but watch it to enjoy the filmmaking. (Louis Wu 11:47:04 UTC)

Halo 2: Episode 1: Cairo Station Trailer
comradx has released a trailer for the first episode of his upcoming feature-length Halo 2 film. (We posted an overall trailer a couple of months ago.) There are 7 episodes planned, with a trailer for each; Episode 1 should hit the web on July 4. The trailer is 18.8 mb in QuickTime format, 20.7 mb in WMP9 format, and combines cutscene footage with in-game play and additional voice work. Thanks to the MPRRS, for processing this. Update: thanks to trigger119, who pointed out that our hosting is pretty much unnecessary - it looks like this video has been online, on a dozen mirrors, for a few days now, according to this High Impact Halo forum thread. You've got a ton of choices, including BitTorrent. (Louis Wu 17:03:51 UTC)

Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...
Whee! Flying warthogs. The Geezer Gamers got into a matchmaking game on Containment last night - and the other team had clearly modded maps. Bad news for them - it's on film. (9.1 mb, WMP9 format. Unfortunately, it's on Putfile.) Thanks, Martin. (Louis Wu 16:35:47 UTC)

Violence Isn't The Answer
Wow. I simply couldn't pass this up. Bonekin posted a video entitled "Violence Isn't The Answer" - it's a full Rumble Pit Training game of Foundation King, in which Bonekin wins by a healthy margin... without firing a single shot or meleeing a single opponent. Zero kills, zero assists, zero shots fired, playing on a level where the hill doesn't move, and is normally a grenade death trap... but he took the match by more than a full minute. Pacifism... the choice of a new generation. (Louis Wu 11:03:23 UTC)

Mental Image
trigger119 writes to point out Mental Image, a new machinima created by his friend Vice Ruetoy. It's in the 'something the government is giving me is making me crazy' genre - it's 44.1 mb, WMP9 format. Voice stuff needs some work. You can post comments to this thread (this was put up yesterday, but the movie was replaced last night with a version with better sound). (Louis Wu 10:38:10 UTC)

Ultimate Slayer
We got word of a vid called 'Ultimate Slayer' - it's a 7:24 long machinima... of sorts. It's actually the story of a Team Slayer game in Coagulation. Nice filming, and some funny moments! The actual vid is 113 mb, but it's stored in zipped format, and the download is only 56 mb. DivX 5 format. Go grab a copy from the Final Supremacy website. (Louis Wu 20:14:59 UTC)

Noobs, Experts, and In Between - redux
Last month, we posted a short trailer for 'Noobs, Experts, and In Between' - it hadn't passed the MPRRS, but I liked it, and it had been close. The creator has redone it a bit, and this time it DID pass - so we're hosting ANOTHER copy. 1:16 long, 4.3 mb in WMP9 format, or 4.1 mb in QuickTime format. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 14:18:16 UTC)

Sanctuary and Turf, in living color
Two more of the high-quality flythrough trailers, commissioned by Microsoft, have been released - Gametrailers.com has both HD (640x472) and regular (480x360) sizes, in both WMP9 and QuickTime, while TeamXbox has 640x480 WMP9 versions. The Turf film, in particular, is a fantastic example of how to marry audio to video, even without 'action'. Thanks to all who let us know - 3Suns was first. Update: These are available for Gamespot Complete members, as well, over at Gamespot. (No streaming versions yet.) Thanks, Kliend. If you want streaming, head over to IGN. Update 2: Both Sanctuary and Turf are also available, in the 640x480 WMP9 versions, at CANOE. (Louis Wu 12:34:21 UTC)

Stryke Force Ep 6 Teaser
Stryke Force has posted a teaser for episode 6 on their website - the WMP9 is up now, and weighs in at 8.5 mb. The QuickTime should be up soon, at roughly the same size. They're also recruiting for an XBL clan, so if you like their stuff, check out the clan! (Louis Wu 20:25:27 UTC)
