Mmmm… fresh and grunty…

If you're looking to get more fun out of campaign mode for the original Halo and now also Halo 3, you're in the right place because there are over 380000 words of cyborg-happy yammering here (all relating to the Xbox versions). For H1 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 in the field. You'll find plenty more besides, including some biting frontline insights from ace reporter Suzie! For H3 meanwhile, there's a growing section of novel fun to enjoy.

Latest updates

• November 30th: Added Covie stroll, for The Covenant.
• November 16th: Added Chopper shoot from up high, for Tsavo Highway. Also expanded Checkpoint bypass by highwire; see the 'Later developments' section at the end.
• November 2nd: Added Checkpoint bypass by highwire, for Tsavo Highway.
• October 19th: Added Sniper Jackals down, about killing the first two sniper Jackals in Tsavo Highway when going solo on foot.
• October 12th: Just a small update today. Added Cripple and destroy for level 7, and also a piece about Suicide reversion.
• September 29th: Added Solo attack at the third tower.
• September 28th: Revised the site! The main changes are that I've overhauled the underlying code, reorganized the site, improved navigation facilities, given each bit of gameplay fun its own separate page, likewise each topic in the 'Combat tips' section, and tweaked some visual aspects - hopefully all for the better. More tweaking may follow later. If you have javascript enabled and you've got a sufficiently modern browser other than Internet Explorer, you'll hopefully get a neat dropdown menu at the top of each page. I had to give up trying to cope for IE as it seems to do such an idiosyncratic job of interpreting CSS and HTML (but if you think you can help, feel free to get in touch). The dropdown menus work ok for me in Firefox 3.0, Safari 3.1.2 and Opera 9.51, all for the Mac. If you have any trouble with the site or come across any broken links, please let me know.
• July 6th: Added Plasma Cannon jamboree.
• June 15th: Added Long-range fun near rally point alpha, for The Ark.

• May 10th: Added Fun with ejected Banshee pilots, some novel fun in The Covenant.
• April 23rd: Added Banshee hijack from a roof, after the matter of Banshee boarding came up in the HBO forum - see my forum post.

• April 19th: Added Marines on the beach, some fun in The Covenant.
• March 30th: Added a follow-up to the AA gun megabattle: Intercepted retreat. Yay! More carnage! Also added Across the chasm.

• January 8th: Added more Tsavo fun. Chiefly Infinitely spawning Warthogs, but also a Highway long jump I cottoned onto while working on the spawning stuff.
