Blog Of The Angry Zen Master
Mat "MSN" Noguchi (aka shunji aka angryzenmaster) of Bungie has also started a LiveJournal blog, as has MS Novel Guy Eric Trautmann. As it turns out, both have RSS feeds, so we've added them to our news feeds page.

1UP has done a feature on the top 50 to watch in the gaming industry, and Bungie Studios' Jaime "Flawless Cowboy" (aka Case) Griesemer, level designer on Halo and design lead on Halo 2, made #17 on the list. Among other things, he promises "more organic" levels in Halo 2 as a response to complaints about repetitive indoor areas.
[image:4044 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]We missed this because of our usual weekend blackout-- not the site, us. Anyway, Bungie.net got hold of an article by Brooke Szabo originally slated for Xbox.com, interviewing Lorraine "Mehve" McLees. They ask her about what she's up to these days, and she answered:
HEY ! i was just wondering before the HALO 2 E3 DEMO.....HAS THE PELICAN GOT WHEELS because of that lump underneath the pelican.
i stood under the pelican just as it was about to land, then i went into the pelican like a glitch and i saw the gun inside the lump but another time i done it the lump looked like a wheel..... CAN SOMONE PLZ TELL ME WHAT IT IS !!!
plzzz reply to this.
When you first start off on the maw level, turn around
then jump out aim for the smooth big like a hill and you should slide down. It only takes a bit of health
off if not any and it may take a few trys but i can gaurentiee it WORKS !!
OH and another cool thing to try is wait at the start of the level for the sentinels to come and blobk them from getting through, they dont shoot you because they are still in travel mode I KNOW I KNOW this is point less but its just something to try.
hey this cheat allows you to be invinceable.
when you collect an over-shield it takes about 4 seconds for it to go up, at that very moment in time you are invinceable YES !!!!!!
you can try grinage jumping with it and get really high and try it with a warthog, just park it next to a over shield do the grinage jump to the warthog and then grab the over shield and jump in the warthog you have to time it just right.
i will be makeing a movie on it soon so stick around for it !!!!!!!!!!
OHHHH yer one more thing.
HBO has posted The Rules to the Great Halo Scavenger Hunt, the winner(s) of which will be literally drowned in miscellaneous Bungie gear. The keys to the whole things are trinkets: two kinds, Instant Win (IW) trinkets, and clue trinkets (ten of them) that lead to the solution of the whole thing... somehow.
Don't ask us. We don't know. Really. But if you're looking for advice, look farther afield.
Originally shown at the X03 event in France, this documentary film gives a behind-the-scenes look at Halo 2.
This is shakycam footage from the original event. Bungie's higher quality version from YouTube is here:
Both HBO and Bungie.net are hosting parts 0, 1 and 2 of a documentary film made by Mr Smiley at the last Los Angeles Bungie FanFest. The HBO versions are in WMP9 and QuickTime and are rather large; the Bungie.net versions are smaller. Thanks Louis Wu at HBO.
Bungie fansite Forerunners.org, which has in the past given away copies of Myth: Worlds and other assorted Bungie swag, is holding a new contest to produce the best Wallpaper related to Bungie and 800x600 or larger. The prize will be "something old and something new". Check out the details at Forerunners.org and the Forerunners Wallpaper site.

That's quite a bit harder, and to help, we suggest reading John "anim8rjb" Butkus' excellent article at Bungie.net entitled Becoming A Game Animator.
At the risk of enraging parents everywhere, I'll quote this little tidbit:
Not content with just the postgame carnage reports, here is a highlight video from the Summer Slaying event.
We are going to try something a little new. I have been playing with some of the new Divx codecs for video and mpeg-4 audio lately, and this seemed like a good a time as any to try them both out. So this video requires the latest Divx codecs and a video player that can use them. You can download the free ones for your Mac or Windows computer here: Divx Codecs. If you have been watching the Latest RvB videos, you should be all set, we are using the same ones.
