Welcome to Bad Cyborg

Mmmm... fresh and grunty...

If you're looking to get more fun out of the original Halo and now also Halo 3, you're in the right place because there's over 380000 words of cyborg-happy yammering here. For H1 there's a huge section of fun and challenges, including detailed accounts of the four megabattles now available. The combat tips page may help in the field and there's plenty more besides, including some biting frontline insights from ace reporter Suzie! For H3 meanwhile, there's a growing section of novel fun to explore. See About the site for more about Bad Cyborg itself.

All H1 info is for the Xbox version of Halo, but I expect most of it will also apply to the PC and Mac versions. The site is currently word-based, so should download pretty fast if you want to save it as a magnificent grunty archive to read offline.
