Posted to our forum yesterday, but we missed it amongst the rumor-mongering and name-calling. Jex has put up a website for what seems to be the first announced Halo mod… Macross + Halo. Not much there yet… but he’s looking for lots of help. Coders, modellers, texture guys, level designers, sound guys… and someone to…

Mhaddy, of the Junkyard, has submitted a wallpaper for our Wallpaper page. Not strictly Halo… but then, neither is the Junkyard. Available in more sizes than you’ll know what to do with.

More interesting rumors. Roger Maxwell has posted a couple of idea-filled missives on our forum, postulating that Pixar and Bungie are working together to release an animated movie to complement the game’s storyline. You can find the original post here, and Roger’s followup (with more details) here. Intriguing stuff!

There’s a small blurb about Halo and Oni in the latest (July) MacAddict, titled “Bungie almost got game”. While they are excited about both titles, they feel that “Bungie has left us hanging” too long without a release. As they say, though… “strangely enough, your mom was right – patience is a virtue, and good…

Tycho has posted another fan fiction piece on our forum. We’ve added it to the Fiction page. If you’re in a vengeful mood, this is a good story for you.

We would be remiss if we ignored this altogether, since it’s potentially very big news. We want to stress, however, that it’s nothing more than rumor at this point. A rather large thread is running on our forum, revolving around a potential deal between Bungie and Microsoft. If true (even in part), it means major…

septimus posted a link to a Something Awful article on Halo on our forum… definitely worth a read. Inside Bungie… deep and dirty!

Daily Radar put up a list of developers currently supporting the X-box, and those who Daily Radar think will support it. Bungie’s on the second list.

The Halo SETI Marines are closing in on spot 97 on the overall Teams Rankings… tomorrow? Banzif and Skyhook take top honors today in the 24 hour stats.

Thanks to Joedaphish, who cleaned up our “Bobs in action” shot from a couple of days ago for us. We’ve posted it (and the other unique PC Gamer screen) in our Screenshots section. Looks nice, Phish!

Seen at Haloplayers… a new Halo site comes on the scene, this one dedicated to down-under Halo! Halo-au (Halo Australia) is now online. Swing by and check ’em out!

Wow. Those Haloplayers boys really rate. PC Gamer has put some of the content from their July print mag up on their website, before the mag is off the shelves… “as a special favour to Haloplayers”. Nice going, guys!

D’n’A posts to our forum that the July issue of PCZone Benelux won’t be out until June 22. Guess we have a bit of time to wait for that new article!

$erial-ki!! A has submitted some wallpaper which shows his feelings on the Marathon-Halo link. You’ll find it on our Wallpaper page.

Over at the Haloplayers general forum, anno domini posts that the July issue of PC Zone Benelux (a Dutch PC gaming mag) contains a four page Halo article, “as well as four previously unreleased and exclusive screenshots, differing from those in the July issue of PC Gamer UK!” We’re talking to our agent in Holland…

The July 2000 issue of PC Games also contains a Halo article, and Christoph Schmidt was kind enough to scan it in for us. We don’t have permission yet to post it… but since there are no new pictures anyway, we’re going to give you the translated text now, courtesy of Harry “Halo, Halo, Halo……

The Marathon’s Story page could be renamed the “PC Gamer analysis page” today… lots of good stuff from the new article. Great quotes, and a better scan from Jenkz of the Marathon-like symbol on the commander’s hat. Hamish has out-Haloed us!

The March 2001 date mentioned by Take 2 has been echoed by PC Gamer UK, who included an article entitled “Slippage Central” in the latest issue (page 37): Despite our ‘Done When It’s Done’ column reading “April” for Halo last month, a release date for Bungie’s handsome project has never been particularly clear. But Kieron…

Massa, from Halo Network, sends word that he contacted Take 2 recently to clarify the GameStar reported release date of “early 2001”, and they told him that the current date was March 2001. Ouch!

Came in last night… but we were slacking. Joseph Haake did a bit of image enhancement work on the Bob commander’s hat, posted yesterday at Haloplayers. It’s his opinion that the symbol there is not the Marathon symbol. He reminds us, though, that it was a small image, seen from only one angle. Decide for…
