BolognaFire loves zombies. He loves them so much, in fact, that’s he’s created a gametype (and map) that comes as close to Zombies on Foundation as you can, in Halo 3. He’s thought an awful lot about this, and has laid out many of his ideas in this forum post. There are also more than…

Develop Magazine has a 2-part interview with Marty O’Donnell (Part One | Part Two), with an interview of Harold Ryan coming tomorrow. (The intro to these pieces can be found here.)

I don’t think I’d normally even post this as news – but it sort of blows me away. oriol pointed out a newspost on Grunts R Us that purports to find the first Five-Star General in Bungie’s ranking system. I went to look, just because I couldn’t imagine how good the guy had to be……
