Thanks to Vector, who sent in a pair of wallpapers for our Wallpaper page. Vector works at Battleground: Halo.

Kudos to The Maz, who took a digital snap of a page of the latest Newsweek in which Halo was mentioned. The lips are “buzz factor” (out of a possible 5), and the drops of blood are “gore factor” (also out of 5). Listed for Dreamcast… interesting. 🙂 (We’ll work on getting a better pic,…

Looks like we’re waiting until July for the E3 trailer. In a post on our forum, Matt Soell said thatThe trailer will first appear on the cover CD of a major PC gaming magazine. It will be their August issue, which hits the streets mid-July. It will be available for download shortly after that, at…

The Halo SETI Marines get another large infusion of WUs today, this time from thulcandra, who brought in 609 units. The fight for the next position in the Club Rankings is going to be tough, though… Jjaro Tech takes La Crunch Honneur again, and Moomjean takes the Frogblast award, climbing 8 notches. Are you doing…

Halo scoop! Thanks to a generous benefactor at Bungie and a well respected Bungie fan (we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy!) we bring you Bungie’s E3 Halo flyer! Pretty outstanding. Check out that Marine’s face. No mistaking that Marathon logo.

Small Halo snippet in Jim’s E3 Post-Op at Daily Raider. Halo is the game other developers are now trying to beat! Mark Rein (Unreal 2) was reported to have said: But Rein simply hinted at the amazing things around the corner (vehicles, super-high poly character models), and we were desperate for any niblet on Unreal…

Thanks to Allenthar, who has submitted a new wallpaper for our Wallpaper page, and a new banner for our Banners page. Tired of that old stuff? Grab some new stuff!

Kudos to HiddenTalon, who found yet another E3 wrapup at Outpost D-34. Here’s the Halo article. They got a couple of things wrong (they described the test machines at e3 as “PIII’s with GE Force 2’s”, while in reality they had TNT2 Ultra’s in them), but the “Tribes on crack” comment is probably right on.…

Couple of Halo sightings around the net, courtesy of Rampancy.net… first, All Games Network has a couple of Halo-related films (although none of them seem to be viewable on a mac, and only the First Impressions of Halo seem to be viewable on a Win98 box with the free version of RealPlayer installed), and Playboy…

Halo Network continues to scan in the E3 press kit… today’s installment contains pages 14 and 15. These two contain frequently asked questions… nice to see official Bungie answers to some of these, even though we’ve gotten unofficial answers along the line. Check it out! (Thanks to the Marathon’s Story page for the heads-up.)

Blam!… The Halo SETI Marines bump another team in the Club Rankings. Top 50, here they come! Today’s climb is thanks to Ashley Frost, who brought 1632 units with her when she joined. Welcome,Ashley! 139 other marines added units today… were you one of them? Check the 24 hour stats to find out!

Thanks to HiddenTalon on our forumfor pointing us to an another E3 wrap-up piece this time at Heat. Here’s what they had to say:Halo – the graphics and physics engine of this game have already created quite a stir. Bungie still needs to get a full demo for users to truly appreciate it’s qualities. We’ll…

The theories page has seen a couple of new additions; Mostafa Sadraii posts a discussion of some observations he’s made from the various films released to date, and Rony Sanchezspeculates on the Jjaro logo and its relevance to Halo. (Note: Many of the ideas presented here were first brought up on the Marathon’s Story page…

Seen at Marathon’s Story: Gamasutra has an interesting article, originally presented at the 2000Game Developer’s Conference, on ways to use cinematic techniques, developed over the past 75years, in games that need cinematic sequences in order to drive the storyline. It’s an interesting read, all by itself, and relevant here because Halo has positioned itself (or…

Bungie.net has a new poll up… “What platform do you use for gaming?” Interesting results so far…

Is Bungie planning on licensing the Halo and Oni engines for installment games? So says Computer Games Magazine, as reported by Myndreach on our forum. Give it a read!

Major kudos to Massa of the German Halo Network site for scanning in another part of Bungie’s E3 press kit. This one has a pic of the marine and the backstory of Halo. Go take a look see. Nice scoop Massa. 🙂

Apple’s Quicktime Trailer page lists four Game Trailers. One of these is Halo with a big [NEW] following it. Unfortunately this is still the old MacWorld Expo movie from July 1999. So why is it called new?

The Halo SETI Marinesare now only 2000 units behind the next team in the SETI rankings. Got to keep the pressure on. The last 24 hours sees Jjaro tech return to true form and DwK frogblasts nice marines? Find out if you got frogblasted last night on the 24 hours stats page.

In aSpecial post-E3 RoundupIncite PC offer what they claim to be new Halo screenshots. While we’d all like to see new Halo screenshots these are not new. Sorry guys. 🙁
