McLees Day at T&R
McLees Day at T&R
Not that we're starting a whole "theme" tradition every time we update the site, but today we've been abundantly bestowed upon by Bungie's own Robt McLees. In addition to the highly anticipated interview by the fans, we've added a "weapons" section to the gallery. Also we've created a seventh page to the concept art, including Rob's flood drawings. Knock yourself out!

Is That a Legendary Walkthrough?
Is That a Legendary Walkthrough?
Why yes, it is. No7orious, founder of Freaks of the Flood (
/fanclub/113), has sent in an in-depth and informative walkthrough of the Pillar of Autumn, Halo's first level, for those of you trying to tackle it on Legendary difficulty. It's over on the right on the Halo site,
/site/1.
Better yet, Mordia was kind enough to illustrate the article with screenshots. Thanks for the first fan content submission, No7orious, hopefully you'll start a trend! Seriously though, everyone be sure to let us know what you think of this new feature, and if you like it enough maybe he and Mordia will be nice enough to do walkthroughs for all the levels.
