Today's Penny Arcade looks over the smoldering ruins of IGN's review of Killzone, a PS2 shooter once billed as a "Halo killer". While hostile to what they called the "repetetive" nature of Halo 1's campaign, Gabe and Tycho have warmed to Halo 1's multiplayer and to the promise of Halo 2. They had this to say about the hype around Killzone now that the game is out:
Could someone please send me the sheet music for any of the halo songs onj piano or marimba, or both? Please, I really want these.

New sections have been opened:
Just in time for Halo 2, part VIII of the Junkyard's series on realism in Halo has been posted. This part covers Two Betrayals.
Thanks Ryan "Mhaddy" Matthews.
The M6D pistol, used by the Master Chief in Halo 1, replaced by the less-powerful and zoomless Magnum Pistol in Halo 2. Also referred to in several portions of the I Love Bees audio fiction, although there it is referred to only as the "M6" without the "D".
An older model of rifle. Used by the rebels holed out in the asteroid belt near Eridanus in Fall of Reach. It does not appear in the game.
The standard issue assault rifle used by Marines and the Master Chief during Halo 1, the MA5B fires 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds, and fires in fully automatic mode, but is more accurate when fired in semiautomatic mode, which must be achieved manually by alternately releasing and depressing the trigger.
