Geez. Thanks to Carth for the heads-up… Macrumors.com is reporting (reporting?) that “HALO for the Mac is ready but Microsoft are holding it back till at least 2 months after the X-Box is released. Although the game is ready to ship for both the Mac and the PC the game will be most marketed on…

Heh… in case anyone didn’t realize how important the Marathon’s Story page is to the fans of Halo… several Story page fans noticed some quotes from Nathan Bitner (first made on our forum, here and here, over a week ago, and posted to the Story page yesterday), and the source of both sets of quotes…

Ack… very good question posed by PsychoBean on our forum. The Bungie job offering mentioned yesterday states that the mission editor will be developed in MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class)… does this mean the mission editor will be PC only? Or will Tamte’s group be porting this, as well? Hopefully, a Bungie employee will chime into…

Kudos to TomeOne, who noticed another job opening on Bungie’s page: They need a Tools Programmer to build a mission editor for Halo! Wonga.

Sebastian “The Tiny Toad” Brytting sends in a theory on the builders of the Halo. We don’t rate ’em, folks, we just publish ’em. If you like this one, let Sebastian know on our forum.

JosephAW noticed a computer animated short film (‘Antebios’) highlighted on the SciFi channel. The movie itself is visible on SfiFi.com’s website… if you have a Macintosh, Netscape, and a (very) fast connection, the On2 link is pretty astounding. Otherwise, it’s available in RealPlayer format. Joseph mentions it because the alien sounds a lot like the…

Dink! The Halo SETI Marines fall one notch, victims of the unrelenting climb of Team Project Blue Book. On the plus side, Team Slashdot is only 500 units ahead… they’ll fall soon. cae takes La Crunch Honneur this week, and limbofrog snags the Frogblast Award. The 7 day stats page contains all the details.

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…

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.
