It's Twins!
Matt "Mr Smiley" Dunn wrote us to say that the second new Halo Babies this week is now up, along with a new wallpaper by Gruntsbane.
Look Out, Rampancy Is Spreading!
Matt at Break Point Halo posted that a new site has opened, apparently called Halo Rampancy. No relation to us... other than, well, you know, being about Halo and having "rampancy" in the title. Smithers, release the hounds... I mean, the lawyers! Just kidding.
Chutes And Ladders Comes Outta Beta
Fluffy has posted at Battleground: Halo that as of January 1, they will end their Halo Beta ladder and start the official one. More information is available at TCLN: Halo.
Halo 2, Now On Speed
This edition of Narc's Retorts isn't as long-- I promise. This one is on how XBL could be used to make speedrunning a more popular gameplay mode in Halo 2.
Macworld Goes To Bed Early
The 2003 Game Hall of Fame article is up at Macworld, but it doesn't mention Halo outside of its "upcoming games" section, as they say Halo was released too late to be considered this year.
Good grief, what was there to consider?
Mac Halo Faster Than PC Halo?
Well, maybe Stuntmutt will have to modify one of his new characters in One One Se7en, as it appears that Mac Halo doesn't suffer from the same performance bottlenecks that PC Halo does-- at least not according to Corey Tamas of Macgamer, who rated Mac Halo 99 out of a 100.
The bad news? Tamas drops a note that "Alas, Mac Halo lacks the Xbox's cooperative mode and no plans exist to add it in the future." Actually, last we'd read coop was still a questionmark for a future patch for the PC version, which would then open up the question of putting in the Mac version, but perhaps that's already gone by the boards.
Thanks Louis Wu of HBO.
Halo Armor Ready For Order
Well, it wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas, but you can now order Halo armor from the Nightmare Armor site by Webshift. Before you pull out the wallet, a full suit, unpainted, costs $1700. With paint... $3500. For the truly dedicated fans only. Thanks Louis Wu from HBO.
The Player Will Explore This Entire World... Ouch!
A quick viewing of the Bungie-related clip from Inside the Xbox by Film Oasis, as shown on the Discovery Channel and now available for download, reveals a few points about Halo 2, the sequel:
- Everything in Halo 2 will be bump mapped, not just some things.
- Part of Halo 2 will take place during an attempt to repel Covenant invaders from a space station they are attempting to take over.
- Part of Halo 2 will take place in the "wreckage of the previous Halos". (Jaime "Case" Griesemer definitely says "Halos" in this case, intended or not.)
- Halo 2 will feature a space station that functions as a giant weapon, which can be controlled and fired by the player. (This one again comes from Lead Designer Griesemer, and there's nobody around to kick him under the table.)
The documentary has been out a while, so this information isn't new, but these are the solid bits about Halo 2 that occur in the film if you haven't seen it so far and can't manage the large download.
