Watch it, Marine...
Did someone blow it? Was Silent Cartographer a doomed mission from the very start? Are courts-martial in order? Be sure to watch Combat History, this week on VisionStar. (Thanks to Travis Cossel, who captured this 40-second, 6.7 mb QT version of the trailer.) (Louis Wu 01:41:34 UTC)

From classic music comes classic fan art
Whoa. It really is time to get a 'Halo Fan Music' section set up; we've just gotten another entry. This one comes from Justin R. Durban, of Edgen Animations. It's a 2:36 long .mp3, weighing in at a bit under 2 and a half megs... and it's beautiful. (Very martial.) Justin says:
I played the game for the first time last weekend for about 3 days straight and pretty much got inspired to write my own version of the halo theme. I'd love for your fans to use this track in one of their "fan made trailers" / movie montages. You have my permission to use it however you like.
Full credit is given to Marty O'Donnell for the basis of this piece. Go grab your copy now! (If you have trouble getting it here (you shouldn't, but things happen), you can find a copy on Justin's server, too.) (Louis Wu 19:48:30 UTC)

Hi-Res Halo 2 madness from X02
Whoa. GameKult seems to have put up a collection of very high resolution shots from Halo 2 - all have been seen before, but none at this quality level. (Some have only been seen in leaked magazine scans, as a matter of fact.) There are 18 images, including several renders of the new Warthog, a bunch of bumpmapping demos of the Master Chief, and some hi-res stills from the trailer. These have been posted to several Xbox forums around the web - usually without attribution. Go to the source! (Louis Wu 09:04:15 UTC)

Man... what's that on your shoes?
Warbow went dumpster diving outside the Bungie offices again. We won't show you the mutilated Elmo dolls he found... but there was also this snippet of what appears to be a rejected Halo 2 trailer option. 2.5 mb, QT format. Crap, now we have to clean the carpets again... (Louis Wu 19:34:25 UTC)

Info, bay-bee...
Thanks to the eagle eyes of Jerry, who noticed the cool new link at the top of the bungie.net main page (right corner). It contains quick links to all the useful info so far published on Halo 2 - press releases, links to the trailer, goodies like screens and desktops... keep it handy! (Louis Wu 01:29:54 UTC)

HNC on Arena - soon!
Thanks to Oso, who pointed out a trailer from G4 for the upcoming broadcast of the Halo National Championship on G4TV - you can download it in MPEG format (3.8 mb, 36 seconds), or stream it to Windows Media Player. It'll show you a few of the contestants, and a bit of the set it was all filmed on. The show airs Friday night, September 20, at 11 pm eastern time (8 pm pacific). There's no word yet on whether the actual show will be available on the web at some point. (Louis Wu 19:10:31 UTC)

All audio more better
As a followup to last week's 'Making of the Halo Trailer, Part 1', Bungie has posted 'Part 2' at their Tru7h and Reconciliation site. It's a pretty amazing read, if you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, soundwise. Beyond the electronic magic, there were 35 live musicians involved in what you hear, including Jay Weinland playing oboe and english horn, and Marty O'Donnell and his wife joining 12 others for the choir singing. Go read it - and then see if you can find a Dolby 5.1 version of the trailer that works for you. (Louis Wu 09:36:53 UTC)

Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles
Drunkgamers.com is getting ramped up for a series of gameplay videos known as 'Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles'. To whet your appetite, they've created a 2-minute-long trailer for the upcoming films - it's available as a 30 mb DivX-encoded .avi, or (with some compromises) as a 10 mb QuickTime 5 video. It's pretty funny... but be warned - language is PG, at least. If bandwidth gets tight, we'll jump in with a mirror or two. (This was released last week, hours before the Halo 2 video. We held off then to keep it from getting buried... and then spaced completely on getting back to it.) (Louis Wu 17:15:02 UTC)

Wait for it...
A new comic has been put up at Bungie.net - and it's pretty funny. According to Dave Candland, this is an 'actual embellished conversation' that took place during the creation of the Halo 2 trailer. Makes you wonder how all those guys are still alive... (Louis Wu 23:16:26 UTC)

Windows QT screensaver
Ciarán has created a Windows screensaver that uses the Halo 2 trailer (in QuickTime format) - or any other QuickTime movie - as its source. It's been tested on Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP Home. It weighs in at 1.5 mb - you can find it here. (Louis Wu 15:36:42 UTC)

I hate it when that happens...
Adam Russin and Brian Rosenberg have created a film called 'Oh Shit!' I'm too tired to figure out if it meets our Movie Posting Guidelines - but I enjoyed it, so I'm posting it. So there. It's only available in .wmv format, unfortunately - it's 3:18 long, and 12.5 mb big. You can get it at Project Mjolnir, where it was posted first, or you can grab a copy from Mythica.org. Tomorrow, I promise, I'll get cracking on the movies that need to be added to our Movie Database. (We have news of several other movies that have been made recently; it's all been backburnered due to the obscenely high demand for the Halo 2 trailer, but we're going to start letting you know about some of it in the near future.) In the meantime, go watch this film... it's fun. :) (Louis Wu 02:21:45 UTC)

What you say?
Joseph Staten popped into our forum to provide a couple of alternatives Bungie considered for the last pair of lines in the trailer. All in all, I think they chose the correct pair. (Louis Wu 14:12:35 UTC)

New Halo 2 vid posted
Uriel has created a new Halo 2 vid - it's a bit over 4 megs, and currently it's only hosted on the Psynjir Complex Hotline server. (You'll find it in Files -> Halo2 -> Movies; it's called 'A Fall Too Far'.) Worth a look, though - and when demand for the Halo 2 trailer drops a bit, we'll add it to some web mirrors.

Next one who dies...
You gotta love the hardcore fans... a couple of days ago, ElectricSheep said he thought the Admiral in the trailer sounded a lot like Pete Stacker (who provided the voice of Captain Keyes in Halo). dolbex, too, noticed this - and was bothered by it. Didn't we kill Keyes? (I sorta remember putting a fist through his brain...) Today, Marty O'Donnell cleared up the mystery - yes, it's Pete Stacker, but no, it's not Keyes.
Also, yes Pete Stacker was hired as the voice of the Admiral (no name) but he has nothing to do with Captain Keyes. Although I was concerned about the potential for fan confusion, Joe had the basic attitude of "let them eat cake", an attitude that shocks and appalls me. I guess he figured that only the most intense Halo fans would notice and Pete is a slam dunk when it comes to actors.
I must say, I'm shocked and appalled, as well - I say we storm the Bungie ramparts and chop off Joe's head! Who's with me? ... Wait, that would mean no more Sin-O-MatiXXX goodness... never mind. Anyway, mystery solved, and kudos to those who pinned that voice down. (Louis Wu 21:01:44 UTC)

Who missed?
The Halo 2 Trailer Transcript we posted recently has been updated with some input from Jay Weinland, Bungie Sound Gnome. Should be 100% accurate at this point... thanks, Jay! (Louis Wu 18:40:28 UTC)

What? MORE mirror news?
Boatloads of new mirrors for the Halo 2 Trailer - lots in Europe, more Hotline servers, and even though the main site for customsex's new mpeg2 version died (from overdemand), a kind hotline server picked up the slack (and we're adding a second hotline server as I write this). More mirrors for that large, popular version would be eagerly accepted - just drop us a line. For everything else, visit the Halo 2 Mirror List, or the Mirror List Mirror! From now on, when new mirrors come in, we'll simply add them to the mirror list, without using valuable front page space to announce them. If you need a copy of this trailer, in ANY format, visit the mirror list. (Louis Wu 01:15:36 UTC)

MPEG2, anybody?
customsex has converted the WMP9 video to MPEG2 format... and it's gorgeous under QT6. It's huge, though... and he had a bit of trouble with the aspect ratio, so if you grab it, be sure to reset the width to 600 pixels (keeping the height at 360). You'll find the link on our Mirrors page. This is considerably larger than the large QT version... but almost the same image quality. Be warned, though - if you don't have an MPEG2 decoder on your computer, you won't be able to watch it, so don't bother downloading it. Update: the aspect problem has been fixed. This one seems to be popular, though - mirrors are badly needed! (Louis Wu 19:29:44 UTC)

No watch - read
Take a break from the trailer madness to read a little Fan Fiction:
- The New Reach Campaigns, part 4, by Gasmask
- HELLJUMPERS, parts 2 and 3, by Havok
- The Shadows, part 2, by Glenny
- Shadows of Archon II, part 9, by Wado
We should stop posting now, so the page doesn't take too long to load... (Louis Wu 18:39:31 UTC)
