Year: 1999

andz posts some interesting info about the unofficial (illegal?) Halo movie on the German PC Action CD.

Dark Angels are a new UK based Halo clan. They are presently honing their skills in Tribes. Thanks to Finlay Smith for the info.

Joseph Haake points out that gXp hasn’t actually pulled the screens yet… the direct links still work (see yesterday’s news for any of them), they’ve simply pulled the news items referring to them. Wonder how long that’s going to last?

Wow… someone’s working fast. All six screens have been pulled from gXp’s site. More info if we get it.

Bungie’s Yeroen says the new movie (and gXp’s screens) aren’t kosher. Oh, well. I was looking forward to a whole lot more.

“Halo reference in Chimera” says Marathon’s Story. Download that Myth II scenario now! Pax.

Marathon’s Story page reveals Nathan Bitner’s childhood obsession with HeMan. And what’s this? Another email address for Nathan?

From Synox, posted at the Core: The movie on the PC Action disc has a fun Marine handstand. Look quick… he posted a bit earlier that PC Action has a copyright on the movie that prohibits its upload anywhere for 6 weeks, so he may have to pull it.

Will the Halo SETI marines have a new squad leader? Check out the tussle at the top in the team stats for the last 24 hours.

New Halo movie! We don’t have it yet but thanks to nimby on our Forums here’s the German PC Action mag that does. Babes “R” Us.

Thanks again to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who sends in the translation of the gXp blurb from the third set of screenshots: “Like we promised we have more pictures of Bungie’s Halo to show you. On the left picture you see one of the alien spacecrafts covered by a perfectly reflecting surface, whilst the right screenshot shows…

In response to all the analysis done on the Flamethrower pic that gXp has released (also here, locally), we’ve compiled a Camera Types page. Take a look, and if you’ve got something new, feel free to submit it. Pax.

They just keep cranking them out… Two more screenshots from gXp… HALO5.JPG and HALO6.JPG. Kudos to MacDrugal, who reported them on our forum less than 20 minutes after we received word from MacDoerk at gXp. Halo5, especially, is a pretty interesting shot… reflecting surfaces showing nicely.

A hearty welcome to Tim and Jeremy, who between them bring 256 units to the Halo SETI Team. Glad to have you aboard! Pax.

Sanctorum sends us this graphic showing what he can make out from the text in HALO4.JPG (here, locally). Thanks, Sanctorum!

Dirk Adam, Content Director of BU Online (gxp.de), sends us this answer about their pics. He apologizes for his english. 🙂 Thank you for asking first. Well, this is a difficult question, because for normal you may not copy that material to your website. Other sites that already have these pictures loaded might want to…

Synox mentions in Core forum post that the 12/99 issue of PC Action (german) magazine has a brand new Halo movie on its cover CD. Anyone want to upload it? Pax.

Kudos to Harry Al-Shakarchi for his translations of the text accompanying the GXP pictures. He sent in both the first Halo blurb (two days ago): “Take 2 sent us these 2 brand new pictures of Bungie’s Halo. Please note that these pics are not from a pre-rendered intro sequence, but from a running game.” and…

Having trouble finding those earlier Halo pics at GXP? Well here are the direct links to all four Halo pics: HALO1.JPG, HALO2.JPG, HALO3.JPG, and HALO4.JPG.

Take a break from analysing those new Halo pics and check out the Halo SETI team stats for the last 24 hours. Who’s crunching it Big Time?
