A clue to the mystery of the missing SETI units posted to our forums.

Gamespot has finally put the November 99 Computer Gaming World article online. (It’s been here, first as pictures (September 27) and then as text (October 7), for a while… but this time it’s official.) Thanks, SanjiyaN.

Robert Cox sends word that 100% Halo is, once again, up and running. “All the stuff from before and more is on the way.”

Our Forums are back up. Sorry for the downtime.

Well, we’ve been sitting on this for two weeks, waiting to hear from the folks at Incite… but since this seems to be the same article as the German PC Games article posted yesterday, we’ve decided to show it to you. It’s two pages: Page 1 and Page 2. Enjoy!

Thanks once again to Harry Al-Shakarchi for his quick translation skills. He’s sent in a translation of the German PC Games article. (We’re posting it as submitted.) This is the same article as the one published in Incite Gaming magazine last week… we’re still waiting for permission to post that one.

Seems our Forum archives just weren’t up to the task of displaying 7500 posts. They’ve been broken up into two archives… you’ll find links at the top of the main forum page. The first 5000 posts are in the “Ancient Archived Posts” section. Hope this helps.

Milita: Armies for Halo is back… sort of. Now the Praetorian Militia, and asking for your input. Go give it to him!

MacFury sends in a theory about the 1,000 humans on the Halo that aren’t marines. You’ll find it on our Theories page. Thanks, MacFury.

We apologize for any trouble you had yesterday getting to halo.bungie.org (or any b.org machines, for that matter). Turns out our provider (upstream from our nameserver) had hosed a zone transfer… so none of your requests were actually making it to us. Should be fixed now. (You’re reading this, aren’t you?)

IncitePC is a new gaming mag, and their premier issue contains a nice writeup of Halo. We’re seeking permission to bring you the full article, but in the meantime, we’ll whet your appetites with a screenshot and a quote… In their discussion of the background story, they say this of the Halo:”However, there’s one small…

Hey… we weren’t sure if anyone noticed that new screenshot from Incite, but it looks like Voodoo Extreme did. Nice eyes, guys!

According to CG, the December issue of MacWorld mentions Halo in the Future Candidates section of the Macworld’s Game Hall of Fame section, with this quote: “Bungie remains uncommitted to the number of players the game will support but the company assured us that no fewer than 32 people will be able to play at…

Quiet news day… you hear anything, be sure and tell us!

Traxus writes to let us know that Bungie’s SETI stats dropped by 10 units today… someone must have defected. Only another 1779 units to catch them! Join the Halo team today! Thanks, Traxus.

Ever wonder how many mac users and how many pc users there are visiting this site? Here are some basic numbers.

“cosmufet” submits a new Theory regarding the basic weaponry available in Halo.

As mentioned by Fly Molo on the Core forums, psx.ign.com is reporting (okay, it’s their rumor page) that unnamed Bungie sources have tapped Halo for a Playstation2 (but not Dreamcast) release. Not the first time we’ve heard this, but multiple sources usually add credibility…

Miscellaneous Art page overhauled, organized, and new art added from =NAV=Shadow. (Check the end of the Original Art section.) ‘Bout time, too!

It’s official. Matt Soell replaces Nathan Bitner as Forum Monkey. Welcome to the madhouse, Matt!
