Movies outside the US
Two new international mirrors - Juegos Alkon, an Argentinian games site with a very fast connection (mirroring the large QT version) and DeadSwitch, a fast UK connection (mirroring the WMP9 version). Go get 'em! (They've been added to the Mirrors page.) (Louis Wu 18:00:42 UTC)

MPEG version, more QT mirrors
Assassin, from Computer Games in Romania, has sent word that they've re-encoded the high-quality QT version as an MPEG. Screensize is the same, filesize is 25.5 mb... quality is quite good. If you're having trouble with QuickTime, but can't get WMP9 to run on your system, this might be the way to go! (Server speed was quite impressive for me, too.) Also, Fileplanet added the two QuickTime versions this morning. All of these links are listed on the Mirrors page. (Louis Wu 16:37:52 UTC)

Wha... US only?
This is bizarre - Gamesurf.de, a German gaming site, has put up a note on their Halo trailer announcement page stating that someone from Microsoft phoned them and told them they couldn't mirror the trailer, because the content is not for foreign markets. What's up with that? (Louis Wu 12:14:58 UTC)

Dialogue Transcript, final form
The fans do it again. We've added a full transcript of the trailer dialogue to our Miscellaneous section (well, it's not actually listed there yet, but it will be soon), thanks to the contributors of this thread on our forum (and a tiny bit of tweaking from me). There are two alternatives I've seen - one can be found on the Battleground: Halo forums, done by Rixor, and the other (done by Narcogen and the Rampancy.net Hotline server crowd, with some help from ferrex, of Bungie) can be found on Rampancy.net. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 09:06:22 UTC)

It goes to 11
Blackstar decided that 480x288 just wasn't big enough... so he re-encoded to get to 600x340. We've added his 32.7 mb QuickTime version to the mirror list. (You'll find it near the bottom, in the 'unofficial sizes' area.) Since the last update, there have also been two European mirrors added - one in France, one in Germany. Have I said thank you to all the mirror sites yet? You guys are great. (Louis Wu 08:29:04 UTC)

It's Raining Halo!
Halo 2 Trailer everywhere... but on G4 tonight, it was Randy Glass' Warthog Jump and the E3 trailer! Thanks to Lorraine Reyes-McLees for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:18:18 UTC)

WMP7 version, more mirrors
XboxManiak has recompressed the movie in WMP7 format, at 320x240 resolution - for those on a slower connection, it's not bad. (If you can handle the larger/newer versions, definitely get them, it's hard to express how impressive they are...) Also, several new mirrors have come online - if one doesn't work for you (or works slowly), try another. Main mirror list is here - mirror list mirror is here. (Louis Wu 03:03:51 UTC)

ElectricSheep has tossed up a transcription of the trailer dialogue. If you're having trouble picking it all up... read this post (and the resultant thread)! (Louis Wu 02:36:51 UTC)

Mirror for mirror list
Guh. HBO's connections are pegged at 120 simultaneous ones - so we've added a mirror for our Halo 2 Trailer Mirror list. (I'm guessing that's pretty much the only thing people want tonight...) You can find it here:
https://www.bungie.org/halo2trailermirrors/
These will be updated simultaneously, so if you can't reach one, grab the other. (Louis Wu 02:21:39 UTC)

More mirrors
Mr. Zarquon and GamingHorizon have both added mirrors - .wmv and QT for the former, .wmv for the latter. (Gaming Horizon also has a news article about it.) Find the new links on our Mirrors page. (A french mirror is coming soon.) (Louis Wu 01:42:30 UTC)

Too.. much... to... do...
Extremely cool writeup on the making of the trailer, at Bungie.net. Go read. (Louis Wu 01:19:24 UTC)

It's HERE!
And the chase is on! The Halo 2 trailer has been released - you can find it at Xbox.com... and thanks to a kind soul, you can also get it in QT6 format from a variety of fan mirrors. All links (and any new ones we hear about) are listed on the Halo 2 Trailer Mirrors page. And anyone who WANTS to mirror... please, let us know. Go get it! It'll blow you away.

Words before pictures
A bit of Fan Fiction to hold you over until the trailer is released this evening:
- Taker of Life, Giver of Death, part 9, by Ian Barnes
- Helljumpers, part 1, by Havok
- Rise To Honor, part 24, by Shadow
- The Shadows, part 1, by Glenny
This marks the end of the Rise to Honor series. Shadow has asked for specific feedback on whether he should write another series - let him know what you think! (Louis Wu 18:27:48 UTC)

Trailer release time set
The countdown at Xbox.com has changed to show that the release time of the Halo 2 trailer will be 6 pm Pacific time today. 12 more hours... (Realize that several tens of thousands of people will be trying at the exact same moment to be grabbing that file - so in reality, release (for you) might not be until tomorrow.)

Pinning down those dates...
Yeroen, over at Bungie.net, points out that at the G4 website there's an episode of 'Arena' called 'Halo Tournament' - this is likely when the HNC finals will be broadcast. Friday, November 20, at 11 pm EDT. This make it more likely that the earlier link we provided is just for the Halo 2 trailer. (Louis Wu 16:47:56 UTC)

G4 film date
Randy Glass points out that G4 (the guys who filmed the Halo National Championship finals) is airing a special Halo episode of their 'Cinematech' show on September 4, at 8 pm PDT. There's no synopsis posted yet... but if any HBO readers get this cable channel and would like to tape it and send it in, we'd be happy to find hosts for it. Even a written report of what is shown would be appreciated. Possible topics include the HNC finals and the Halo 2 trailer. (Louis Wu 09:27:25 UTC)

Beautiful musings
A short writeup about the Halo trailer (due on Wednesday) has been posted to our forum, by mnemesis. No footage, unfortunately... but a glowing review and a promise of more (over at b.net) soon. (Louis Wu 10:26:30 UTC)

It is our destiny.
Another quick trailer for you - Halo: Reloaded. 7 megs, 1:21, QT5 format. The audio has a couple of glitches, but nothing serious. If you like it, let Black_Jackal know, on our forum! (Louis Wu 09:29:21 UTC)

EP drools over Halo 2
Electric Playground got to see the Halo 2 trailer at a Microsoft event in Toronto last week. They wrote up their impressions - as well as some questions they asked at the time (and the answers, or non-answers, they received). Not a whole lot new... but worth a read. Thanks to the Junkyard for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:03:08 UTC)

That's just MEAN, man!
Warbow Home Video presents... Payback. Starring MC as Porter, Cortana as Val Resnick, and Little Grunt as Pearl. You can download the trailer from Mythica.org - it's 7.4 mb, 1:17 long, and in QT5 format. We can't wait to see the released film! (Louis Wu 12:48:14 UTC)

Now you see it...
Hmm... interesting. BOLL noticed that the Halo 2 trailer countdown at xbox.com is gone. Glitch in their database system, or something more nefarious? (Louis Wu 08:46:10 UTC)

For want of a lap...
Thanks to 909, who wrote up his HNC Regionals experience on our forum. Congrats on the great playing, 909, and sorry you missed that last lap! Eep - and before I actually got this posted, Matt Soell wrote up a mini-description of the Semifinals over in Bungie-land... no word, though, on the alleged playing of the Halo 2 Trailer there. Still waiting on that... Update: Whoa - it was true! Matt himself brought the trailer to the Renton games... Cino wasn't making anything up! (Louis Wu 23:39:56 UTC)

Another Trailer Writeup
Razorback noticed another description of the Halo 2 trailer - this time at IGN. Take a look, before it gets buried behind the IGNinsider wall. Makes you wish 19 days was shorter... (Louis Wu 02:25:11 UTC)

Delay explained?
Smilebit has a theory about the delay of the Halo 2 trailer... (Louis Wu 02:13:35 UTC)

Halo 2 Trailer: Coming in September
Ouch! Xbox.com has put up a 'Halo 2 Trailer Countdown' - and it's set at 21 days. Ugh. (Unfortunately, even though the link it goes to is broken, Bungie has confirmed that the date is correct.) Think of the interim as a reflective period... (Matt Gray gets the nod for the first heads-up.) (Louis Wu 20:37:13 UTC)
