Seems the SETI server is having troubles… hard to connect. This could explain why the SETI Marines are crunching less than normal… 24 hour stats posted.

Ryan Bruels sends in a nice Desktop picture for our Wallpaper page. Longtime Bungie fans will recognize the two Marathon fonts (and the much more obvious Marathon logo). Thanks, Ryan!

Daniel Sandberg weighs in with some interesting evidence on the Halo/Marathon tie-in issue. Check our Theories page. Thanks, Daniel!

Once again, Harry “What Dictionary?” Al-Shakarchi turns in a beautifully worded translation, this time of the German voice track to the PC Action movie. We can’t show you the movie, but we can tell you what was said. Oni.bungie.org will have the Oni portion. Thanks, Harry!

Joseph Haake sends us another desktop for our Wallpaper page. Thanks, Joseph!

Better late than never… we’ve added the Computer Gaming World November 1999 article, “HALO, The Closest Thing to the Real Thing,” to our scanned article collection (Page 1-220k, Page 2-203k, Page 3-256k). Don’t forget to buy the dead tree edition, if you can still find it.

The NAVCON site has supplied us with another graphic, this time added to the Miscellaneous Art page. (It’s at the end of the Original Art section.) Thanks, =NAV=Shadow!

The team keeps cranking, the units keep getting lost in the wash! Halo SETI team 24 hour stats posted… another 100 units unaccounted for.

Props to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who once again comes through for us with an english translation of yesterday’s PC Action article. He only translated the Halo portion… you’ll have to wait for Oni Central to come back online to read the Oni portion. Thanks, Harry!

Remember that Bungie do not want the German PC Action Oni/Halo movie uploaded to the net even after the so-called “six weeks” grace period. This has also been confirmed to us privately by Matt Soell. Please respect their wishes.

CyberBob has also posted a translation and transcript of the German voiceover on the German PC Action Oni/Halo movie to the Core forums.

CyberBob has posted a detailed description of the Halo part of the German PC Action Oni/Halo movie to the Core forums.

wondercrank reminded us that the inset picture on the front page of the Next Generation Halo article is a new screenshot, of sorts. And while we were looking at it… we noticed these guys. Run, boys, run!

Doug Zartman jumps in and explains about the PC Action movie. Thanks, Doug!

Alms for the Bungie Faithful? Matt S. mentions on our forums that the long-awaited #2 might be here soon… Woohoo!

For those having trouble reading the text in the NextGen layouts below (it was a tradeoff between readability and keeping the two page spreads together), we’ve put up the individual page scans (about 200k each): Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, and Page 4. Enjoy! Again, remember to buy the dead tree edition.

“Halo: Is this God’s gift to gaming?” says Next Generation magazine (Dec ’99 issue). We finally bring you the full scans of the complete four page NextGen Halo article including a detailed shot of a Covenant craft that hasn’t appeared on any previous site. We think you’ll agree that NextGen do good layouts. Pages 1-2…

Oskar “CyberMaven” Lissheim writes to tell us that there’s a new theory on UFOs from the trailer on the website of Mystic =POSSE=, a halo clan. (This seems to be a new, revamped home of the Mystikal Posse.) In addition, the news page of that site has a theory about the positions of the scenery.…

24 hour stats for the Halo SETI team are up, finally… as a bonus, enjoy the 7 day stats from November 9 to November 16.

In all the uproar surrounding the latest German screenshots, we failed to archive the first two, which were official. These can be found on our screenshots page. Sorry about the oversight.
