Who says Bungie’s not prepared? Lacsap points out an interesting entry in the newly-online Bungie Support Database… well, it brought a smile to my face. See what else you can find!

fAt1, of MPZ Halo, writes to say that he’s taken an interesting Halo logo and turned it into a Counter-Strike decal. Grab it here, add it to your Counter-Strike directory, and you can use it just like any other tag in-game.

Thanks to Haloplayers, who noticed that Haloserver.com, shooting to be the first dedicated Halo server, has redesigned their site. Looks pretty nice (though rather sparse at the moment – and that cursor gets sorta annoying). Luckily, they have just under 5 months to get it all in shape…

eric points out that there’s a Halo mention (including a small picture) in today’s Baltimore Sun:”Halo,” by Microsoft. Soldiers and civilians at a colony of humans on another planet battle space aliens in what is expected to be one the Xbox’s premiere games this fall.This article doesn’t seem to be online yet, but it’s nice…

No SETI Update today, folks – the SETI servers had some problems last week that haven’t been resolved yet. There are no real-time team stats available. We’ll do a two-week update next week.

Last Friday’s Halo Update has been added to the Halo Update Database – now you can see how long it takes for the skull to go from ‘mostly done’ to ‘done but not properly textured yet’. (Note to Bungie: 2 weeks is too long.)

Slow day on the Halo front… maybe folks are still digesting the Fan-Conducted Interview of the Halo Dev team, or maybe they’re still chewing on this week’s Halo Update (it’ll be entering the Halo Update Database tomorrow)… or maybe they’ve all gone over to the Sightings forum to work on the Mystery of the Seven…

Attention, KMart Shoppers… We’re happy to announce that we have a special treat for you – the questions you submitted oh so many weeks ago (okay, it’s only been about a month) have been answered! And they’re not just throw-em-some-scraps answers, either… there’s some honest-to-goodness meat on them thar bones. I won’t waste any more…

Woohoo! The Weekly Halo Update is over at Battleground: Halo this week, and it looks like weather is in! (Well, falling shell casings, anyway…) Better AI, better explosions, and Craig Mullins artwork! Check it all out at BG:H.

Thanks to Fanatic, who submitted a new logo (in a bunch of permutations) and a new Wallpaper (using the logo). Enjoy!

genohunter, of Clan Hell, drops us another new wallpaper – busy evening. The old and the new… together again. Grab it in our Wallpaper section.

Wow, now THIS is dedication. Kevin Fitzpatrick sends in a newly-built Halo logo… and makes it available in a layered photoshop document, for those who want to tweak it as well. Pretty nice work! Check it out in our Wallpaper section.

Eldar-colonel writes to say that freedom, of Garden of War, is building a Halo screensaver, and would like testers before he releases it. If you’re interested, sign up on this forum.

Wow. Ian Mankowski, who has submitted a few pieces of artwork to HBO in the past, drops another spectacular work in our laps. Titled ‘Under Construction’, it shows the building phase of the Halo – wild. Check it out in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Bryan Chaffin, Editor-in-Chief of The Mac Observer, wrote to let us know that they’ve put up an audio interview with Matt Soell, recorded from the show floor at E3. It weighs in at a bit over 2 megs, and contains 15 minutes of insights into the development of Oni and Halo, and life at Microsoft.…

Thanks to an intrepid HBO agent in Germany, we’ve gotten our hands on the Gamestar CD movie mentioned a few days ago. Now, we can’t actually put this movie online yet (to do so would violate Gamestar’s copyright), but we can tell you that it contains filmed footage from the first two missions, as do…

Frequent visitors to this site might wonder why, in the face of repeated assurances from Bungie that there WILL be PC/Mac versions of Halo, there are STILL people visiting the forums (ours and others) and asking about this. Well, it’s because even the folks who SHOULD know get it wrong. At E3, Microsoft distributed an…

“You’re not paid to guess where the tango was, Alpha leader,” Simmons replied with disdain. He was about to voice the rest of his opinion, but was cut off — very abruptly — as the backpack filled with high explosive triggered.New fan fiction from Tursas was in our Inbox today; Hermes Trismegistus – Prologue should…

They’ve come in! Aginor sends in a pretty slick Bungie webcam shot… looks like the Xboxes have arrived.

Poll Smash! xxx xxx alerts us to the fact that MacGamer has a new poll up:Which upcoming game are you looking most forward to?Halo is currently holding a 3-vote lead over Warcraft III, but only 115 votes have been cast… you know what to do.
