  • On the floor, at the fanfest – E3 and PC Halo

    The boys at Battleground: Halo got a note from David Mertz, the lead level designer for Halo PC. Go read it on their front page (or at this more permanent location) for details on their preparations for E3.

  • Poll Smash.

    gd points out that there’s a new poll over at Gamespot: ‘Which of these highly-anticipated first-person shooters are you most looking forward to?’ Halo 2 currently has 42% of nearly 8000 votes… but you can help make sure it doesn’t lose that edge.
