Year: 2000

Heh… tired of waiting for Halo? Play Halo, the Game! Battleground: Halo has put together a Flash 4.0 game in which you can kill your fill of Covenant and vie for the top spot in their Hall of Fame. (Be aware, though, that a couple of people have already put up four-figure scores… in a…

We usually stay away from the competition’s news… but this movie is too good to miss. Epic Games (and specifically this article at Daily Radar) has released a movie showing some of the new features of the Unreal engine, including 3700-poly skeletal models, facial animations, improved level-of-detail (LOD) support, and large-scale terrain support. (The trees…

Red Hot Ryan sends word that Halo-World is fully up and running. Go check ’em out! Pax.

The word from Haloplayers is that the folks who were talking about bringing Halo to Half-Life have decided that HL is too limiting, and have switched over to Tribes. Anyone interested in this project can join in this HP Forum thread. Pax.

We’re baaaack! (Well, okay, I”m back. Wirehead is still on extended leave, Ding’s bugging some military guys, and Crux… hell, Crux hasn’t been the same since that game of spin the bottle up at the Monastery.) Looks like it’s been a slow weekend… but there was a LITTLE news. Psyrixx writes to say that The…

The crew of HBO is taking a break this weekend… we’ll be back late Sunday night (around midnight UTC, Monday morning). Enjoy your weekend!

Matthew Unger has composited a couple of Halo shots to come up with this ‘screenshot’ for our Miscellaneous Art page. Nice job!

Thanks to MrEiffel65, who submitted a new desktop image for our Wallpaper page. Night is falling…

Congrats to Isolder, who noticed (before I had a chance to find it myself) a tidbit in the October issue of MacAddict about Peter Tamte:A new company, headed by former Bungie vice president (and previous MacSoft executive director) Peter Tamte, has taken charge of bringing Microsoft’s key games, including Bungie’s titles, to our platform. I…

Hehe… these guys are nuts. HaloWar has a message from a bunch of guys who are building a Halo mod for Half-life… if they pull this off, it’ll be out before Halo will! 😉 Go check it out.

Oops… $erial-ki!!A sent word that the info about the Halo spot on British digital tv was incorrect. The actual show was called Gameover, and the channel was technology.tv. He’s got it on tape, but can’t upload it… hopefully that’ll change. 🙂

Thanks to $erial-ki!!A, who writes to tell us of Halo on TV:I was watching Gameplay on the british Sky digital channel dot.TV, and they were doing a review on the X-Box. Surprise surprise, HALO came up, and, to my enjoyment, they did a small feature on it. In this feature (with an interview with Seropian…

Thanks to Howard Bisoski, who submitted a new theory about the potential uses of the Halo. For good measure, he’s also tossed in some anti-gravity speculation… go take a look!

Thanks to Tom Van Sinden, who created a new desktop image for our Wallpaper page. Ever wondered where you were? Well, if you’re on the Halo, now you know.

Okay, we’ve had a submission of a Halo movie. It’s 5 MB, and it’s basically quick cuts from many of the Halo movies out there, put to a soundtrack from Toonami (on the Cartoon Network). Now… the only real problem is that it’s in Windows Media Viewer format. The latest Mac version of Windows Media…

Good Lord. He’s back to Halo clues. Nathan Bitner continues his mad posting spree… a mysterious email contains the following lines:”Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and nights.”And, addressed specifically to Hamish Sinclair:”Say not, ‘I have found the truth’, but rather, ‘I have found a truth’. For the soul walks upon…

Where Are They Now Dept.: Nathan Bitner rambled a bit this morning, letting folks know what’s up with him these days. School’s going well, the wedding got postponed (cancelled, maybe, if she reads this)… he rants a bit about some big purple gorilla. Hmm. Anyway, Nathan, the Producer job still seems to be open…

Computer and Video Games talked to J. Allard, GM of Xbox development, at ECTS yesterday, and got some details about the Xbox controller: “I can tell you that there will be no more buttons than on the PlayStation controller [8]. We think thatÂ’s pretty much the optimum number of inputs most people can deal with…

[RFAS]Fishbulb posts on our forum that Rebel Force Assault Squad is now recruiting. The site is far more viewable in IE than NS.
