Gone But Not Forgotten
Break Point Halo has reported that Dolbex has shut down the Halo50k tournament, and instead will be working on a Halo ranking system. The Halo50k site itself doesn't seem to load anymore.

Definitely Not The Loneliest Number
[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]The "remaining work items for Halo PC" counter at Gearbox has dropped to 69. Not long now!
Xbox Live Web Debuts
[image:4046 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Stories around the web are showing that the much-vaunted upgrade to Xbox.com and Xbox Live, featuring a web interface for Live that lets you view statistics and check on online friends, has launched as of today. We haven't played around with it yet, stay tuned for a report later when we have.
Depot Entertains Thoughts Of PC Halo
[image:4140 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Another PC Halo preview has gone up, this time at Entertainment Depot, although the source (Louis Wu) is the same as always. The preview had screenshots with it, which we've put in the usual place. Like many of the reviews of the PC version, this one mentions the control scheme prominently:
Now, with the touted keyboard and mouse combo being available, it feels as though whenever the player isn't using a zoomed-up mode, the weapons require little effort from the player. This is an early beta, so this isn't a complaint, but merely an unfinished portion. I look forward to a more evolved - get it? - version, so I could get a better taste of things to come.
OK, so they like the keyboard and mouse. So do we, but the evolution crack was probably unnecessary.
HomeLAN Takes Second Look At PC Halo Beta
[image:4113 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]The HBO news page today notes a follow up to the Fanstock coverage put up by HomeLAN Fed: the upshot is, they're still very much looking forward to the game's release:
While our beta version had several of the game’s multiplayer maps available they were only available in a LAN for this build (of course the PC version of Halo will have Internet support as well) but the truth is we had a lot of fund just playing around with the many, many different options that Gearbox has given to players to make their own gametypes based on the base modes that are available out of the box. It should make for some interesting gameplay combos that neither Bungie nor Gearbox could have realized. Of course, the extra levels and the new multiplayer weapons and vehicles will add to those combo possibilities.
Thanks Louis Wu. The article had three more screenshots, which we added to the PC Halo Gallery.UPDATE: Louis Wu wrote in to let us know there was a fourth screenshot with that story; we added that, too.
BSP Posts New Summer Slaying Video
Not content with just the postgame carnage reports, Blackstar has also posted a highlight video from the Summer Slaying event. This movie is also available from RHL (Rampancy Hotline) at hotline://rampancy.net. The IP address is 199.239.233.115:5500 (the standard hotline port). The details are below from BSP:
Blackstar Posts Summer Slaying Postgame Carnage Reports
Blackstar, who attended the Summer Slaying LANFest event held by HBO's Louis Wu, has posted an image gallery from the event.
"Summer Slaying Postgame Carnage Reports" - At some requests, here are the all the reports I have from the Slaying last weekend. But the raw numbers don't convey all the joy that was had by all. ;)
Check them out.
iGames Summer Regional Coverage Online
[image:4107 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Ernest Miller at GameJockeys wrote in to us that their site has put up coverage of the Southern California Regional; in addition, one of HBO's forum regulars, Lion from TruthandReconciliation.com, also wrote up his Regional experience from Tennessee; thanks Louis Wu.
Microsoft Gets Approval For Xbox Wireless Adapter
[image:4104 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]According to Xbox365, Microsoft has gotten FCC approval for a device they're calling the MN-740 Wireless Xbox Adapter. Word has it is based on an 802.11 chipset by Atheros, and will be the first in a series of wireless peripherals for the Xbox and other devices.
While this will likely be advertised as "works with Xbox", the System Link port on an Xbox console is just an ethernet port, and as such other devices, such as the Linksys WET-11 wireless adapter, which I use, will work as well.
Final Myth 2 Patch Released
[image:4108 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]According to Gholsbane at MBO, the MythDev team has released what they believe will be the last patch to Myth 2, barring any show-stopping bugs popping up. It's version 1.4.3, and it not only features the ability to run natively in OS X, but now it has an OS X CD Installer program, so you can go straight from a Myth 2 CD to version 1.4.3, including PlayMyth support. If you want to play on marius.net, you'll need a patch.
