The Halo 2 Machinima community has grown to a exponentially in the past few years. And with the sudden collapse of halogrid.com, much of the community has been scattered across the net searching for a new home.
The H2 machinima community is possibly the biggest it has ever been. Well over 500 machinima clans have sprang up over the past few years. Halogrid.com, home to Hollywood Halo, was with out a doubt, the biggest of them all. But on 1-9-07, the great halogrid empire collapsed. So that left hundreds of people, in a sense, homeless. So they've all scattered around the net, looking for a place to call home.
Many have found success in the ever growing HollywoodNHouse. While other have been trying to capitialize on the frenzy and become the new HG. In my personal opinion, the communities with the best chance of having this happen are Snowglobe, Halo Union, and HollywoodNHouse.
Snowglobe has sat in the shadow of HG for nearly two years now. And with HG gone, Snowglobe was one of the places people thought to go. SG had a huge boost in activity within the last month, and continues to grow.
Halo Union is a fairly new name to the scene in the machinima world. Started only a month ago, it already has 200+ members, and a strong community basis. One of the two leaders, ukilledkenny7, has been doing nonstop advertising, and has greatly impacted its success.
HollywoodNHouse is an "All Gaming Clan". They point there community interests into many gaming genres. But they primarily focus on H2. They are known for the many great movies they've produced, as well as the community.
For those communities, this rise in popularity was a great boost. So to many of you still searching for a home, look all around you, cause they're there, and on the rise.
