Often abbreviated as HBO, halo.bungie.org is, arguably, the most popular and famous fansite for the Halo series. Its webmaster is Claude Errera (posting under the handle "Louis Wu").
Popular HBO Features
Movies Catalog
Halo.Bungie.Org's main maintainer, "Louis Wu", receives hundreds of requests a week to put up videos on the HBO website by Halo fans. Not all are accepted, however it is still a struggle because of limited bandwidth and the fact that Mythica.org shut down in early 2008. The actual Movies Catalog hasn't been updated at all since the movie "Hunter in AotCR Pit" (2004), but Louis says it will be updated. For now you can look for new updated movies in the News section.
Character Scale
Stephen Loftus created a site that allowed users to compare size ratios of different characters from Halo 1 and Halo 2. At the site you can choose a character from each list, hit 'Compare' and characters are shown to scale. The measure in the background denotes feet. (The Master Chief, for example, is exactly 7ft tall.)

Legendary Walkthrough Guide
A good guide buried in the HBO website is this Halo 2 Legendary walkthrough. It provides videos and helpful links for writing the walkthroughs.
Halo Story Page
HBO also features a Halo Story Page section dedicated to all aspects of the Halo story, from backstories, to reference articles, speculation and game transcripts. However, the most notable feature of the Halo Story Page is the Halo Story Timeline, the most detailed and complex timeline of the Halo series on the internet.
HBO Trivia
- "Louis Wu", the HBO webmaster, is the name of a character in Ringworld, a book which inspired Halo. The webmaster's real name is Claude Errera.
- Bungie named a character after Errera: Corporal C. Errera.
- The website was mentioned in the credits of Halo 2 and Halo 3.
- The site was hacked on the 25th of October by a group claiming to be called "The Defaced".
