Now with movies and pictures!

If you're looking to get more fun out of campaign mode for the original Halo and now also Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST, you're in the right place because there are around 400,000 words of cyborg-happy yammering here, largely devoted to that goal. For the former there's a massive section of fun including detailed accounts of the four megabattles available, and there's also a large section of combat tips to help you in the field. You'll find plenty more besides, including some biting frontline insights from ace reporter Suzie. Halo 3 material includes a growing section of novel fun to enjoy, and I've recently started one for ODST too. I've also begun producing gameplay movies and am gradually adding pictures to my written material (click thumbnails to enlarge). So come on in and get a bit of red mist worked up under your visor!

• January 31st: Descent trick revision
  Having determined that being in contact with a cliff face actually doesn't give any slowing effect (which is contrary to what I'd thought all these years, and which you can read about on my updated page on Jumping and falling), I've revised my description of the descent trick. There are a few other changes in there too, including an alternative run-off spot you can use.
• January 21st: New movies - bridge descent trick and seven extra Marines
  Somewhat later than planned, I'm back with more movies. BCM7 shows a highly useful descent trick off the first bridge in AOTCR, and BCM8 shows it being used to get seven extra Marines and an extra hog fast - and to hear Johnson's 'hidden' 16-second all-clear speech! I've also revised my pages on the descent trick and that seven extra Marines trick.
• December 1st: Spiral path megabattle - more pics and text
  All the battle plans in my spiral path megabattle section now have pics, and some of those pages have had some text revision, notably the 'High position defence' page which I expanded a lot. In connection with that plan, I've added advice on getting spare weapons to high places. Also added a blockade pic to the 'Path base defence' page, and added a new battle plan, the 'Path top defence'.
• November 27th: Spiral path megabattle movies
  Two new movies for you, BCM5 and BCM6, showing some of the delights on offer in the spiral path megabattle - notably some hot rockety goodness! I've also done a big revision of my account of the battle. There's some new advice, and I've added lots of pictures to illustrate the main setting-up work plus the path base defence plan used in BCM5. I'll add pics to the other battle plan shortly.
• November 20th: Feeding you all the grunty goodness
  Added an RSS feed to my site (see the icon in the 'Latest updates' title bar?), so you can now subscribe and be automatically alerted to every grunty update. Wahoo! New movies coming shortly…
• October 28th: Flood onslaught challenge movies
  Two more movies for you, namely BCM3 and BCM4. This time we're going Flood hunting. Join me as I try to survive the Flood onslaught challenge, first on Legendary with plasma pistol and shotgun, then on Normal with only an AR (no grenades), which is even tougher. I've also added pictures to my Flood onslaught challenge page and expanded the text.
• October 13th: Bridge onslaught challenge
  After getting unexpectedly drawn back to ODST, I've started an ODST fun section with two pieces for ONI Alpha Site. Check out Bridge onslaught challenge (courtesy of an idea from One One Seven) and Stranded!. Maybe I'm going to have to spend more time on this game after all!
• October 8th: Plateau front defence plan pics, and more
  Ok that's enough ODST distraction for now; time for me to get back to work on movies and pictures! Added lots of fun-filled pictures to the plateau front defence plan featured in BCM1. Take a look! Also expanded the text a little. Also, on my About page (see Viewing the site) I've added a link to a snapshot of how part of one of my pages looks in Firefox on my iMac, just in case anyone wants to compare things with what they're seeing.
• September 27th: Xbox avatar hellspawn
  Had a fairly dubious new Xbox Experience when I got my ODST disc, and some bile seemed necessary. Check out Xbox avatar hellspawn in my humour section!
• September 20th: Bad Cyborg's first movies!
  Onwards to an even brighter and gruntier future! Welcome to the new and improved Bad Cyborg, complete with movies and pictures! It's been a long time coming but I hope it'll be worth the wait. My first two movies are BCM1 and BCM2, both showing rockslide megabattles. I've also started adding pictures to the site. You'll find 108 in the rockslide megabattle section, covering set-up work, general battle advice, and the far area defence plan featured in BCM2. Click the thumbnails to enlarge. There's also a lot of new or modified material there, the most important addition being a method I discovered for setting things up so you not only have the maximum covie count but also all of the non-sniper rockslide Marines. That paves the way for having even bigger plateau battles. Wa-hoo! Among other changes at the site, I've updated the About page, including advice on viewing the site in all its funky new glory, and general info on my new venture with movies and pictures. More coming soon! Site update advertised here in the HBO forum.
