A version of the Zanzibar multiplayer level from Halo 2 has been released for Halo Custom Edition by the H2 Modding Team; Verdafolio has reviewed it.

The latest Homefront update shows off the latest addition to this project to bring the Haloverse to the Battlefield Vietnam engine: The Brute. Thanks Shadow at Sector7.

HomeFront, a Halo-themed mod for Battlefield Vietnam, has put up in The Junkyard's forum a large collection of images showing the interior of a Covenant Cruiser, including docked Seraphs and Phantoms. Their own site at Planet Battlefield appears to be down, at the moment, but should be back soon, and features movies and links to their IRC channel. Thanks Mhaddy.

bobindashadows over at Mac Halo Development points out Boardndave's new hex editing tutorial that talks about making the Warthog faster. Editor's Note: You need to register to see the tutorial.

PMABlades has posted up at PlayMyth what FlyingFlip Studios been up to lately (besides playing Fable):

Horus wrote in the MBO forum late last week that The Fallen's Vengeance fan-made expansion for the Myth 2 engine, now has a completed story and a working demo, with 3-4 levels to be worked on, and "maybe" ready for release early in 2005. After all these years, people are still making things and playing with Myth, a great tribute to the quality and flexibility of this game. Editor's Note: The TFV site is down right now for reconstruction.

HSE, or Halo Server Extensions, has been announced for "almost public release". It is a framework that supports modules to extend the functionality of Halo servers. Modules currently include an Init file builder, a game type editor, a map voting feature, statistics and more. Thanks Halo Mods for the heads-up.

The New Mombasa Classic map has been ported for use with Mac Halo. Thanks to bobindashadows for the story.

Halo Mac Development wants to know which Halo Custom Edition maps you want ported for use with Mac Halo. They are only doing one at a time because conversions are complex, and to ensure that people can find servers to play on.

bobindashadows has posted over at Halo Mac Development that after a couple of weeks of work, he has successfully converted a map created for Halo CE, in this case the desert island map by ZexGX to work with Halo for the Mac.

Five screenshots accompany the story, showing ZexGX's map clearly running in Aqua windows.

Hellface has posted in the Gearbox Forum something that appears to be about the Halo Editing Kit. We're not really sure... but the thrust of it seems to be that there may (or may not) be something good going on, but if there is, and they aren't SURE it's going on, they aren't going to tell us. The moderators might (or might not) know about it, but if they do, they can't tell anyone, and if they do, they're in trouble.

MonoxideC has announced the release of Halo Map Tools 3.5, featuring model injections, single player to multiplayer conversion utilities, and tutorials as well. Check it out at HaloMods.

...and MasterNeoChief is their instrument, making this mod where you play as an Elite, eliminating UNSC forces. Get it over at HaloMods. Thanks Louis Wu at HBO.

James at HaloMods writes that the multiplayer version of Assault on the Control Room is now complete and released as version 1.3. MonoxideC is running a server for it as well, check HaloMods for the information.

Wraith has produced a mod for Halo PC that you can get at HaloMods that allows you to use the Fuel Rod Gun the SpecOps Grunts use in the level Two Betrayals. He wants his gold star.
