Halo “Sci-Fi epic with all the right moves”. Menalaus Khan lets us know that Gamespot have a High-Tech Games article in which Halo is mentioned. Go check it out. Pax.

Bungie Sightings puts up the hi-res Halo scans from Next Generation magazine. Go get them before they are pulled again. BS also has info on next month’s Bungie Fanfest V.

Halo interview. IGN Xbox interviews Bungie’s John Howard and Joseph Staten. Thanks to Massa for the heads up. Here’s a piece:

IGN Xbox: Because the guys at IGN PC threatened us with death if we didn’t ask, what’s up with the PC version? Will they see it before the Covenant invades earth?

JS: Given that it will be hundreds of years before the first Covenant recon picket stumbles across our most distant colony world–yes, absolutely! Oh man, we’re all pushing so hard to get the XBOX version out on time, we really have zero time to think actively about the PC and Mac versions. But they’re always in the back of our minds. You know: “hmm…how should I do ‘x’ so itÕ¬l be relatively easy to implement on the PC/Mac?” Tell the IGN PC guys to keep the faith, and we’ll get back to you, OK?

Whoa… looks like (if I’m reading it right) Tyson Green, AKA Ferrex, of Rampancy.net, has been hired away by Bungie for who knows what… I think he just took the job to get out of Canada, but you never can tell. Congrats, Ferrex! (Don’t let this stop you from reading this week’s Halo Update from Matt, mind you.)

Thanks to Matt Soell, who didn’t hold our feet to the fire TOO long for Marty’s update last week – he sent us this week’s update as scheduled. And it’s a tasty one. So tasty, in fact, that I logged in from a place where I have to PAY by the minute for my internet access to bring it to you. (Yeah, yeah, you Brits, stop your whining.) Crux would have posted it, but he was eating fish, or something. In any case, go read about a model for Cortana, a whole bunch of stuff that brings on Marathon flashbacks, better AI, and more multiplayer art. What are you waiting for? This is costing me! (It’ll make it into the Halo Update Database in the next day or two.)

Dgenohunter of the french clan HELL website (yes we remember it well) enlarged one of the Bungie webcam pics of Bernie and says he thinks he can see the famous Halo jeep. Of course we went to source of all image enhancements “Crux” who said he could see two jeeps. Altar wine folks… altar wine. 😉

fate187 sent us a bunch of webcam pics from yesterday. Is this Bernie playing Halo on a PC? See here, here and here.

“He fired in short bursts, seeking out the heads of the taller elite…” Vector40 sends us Part II of his Halo Story. Part I is on our Fan Fiction page.

Dorram sent us in this Bungie webcam pic from yesterday. If you’ve been following some of the discussion on our forum you’ll know what it’s all about. Just what is on that screen? Bungie’s webcam page can be found here. Pax.

Noah Brimhall informs us that the the XBox feature in the May 2001 issue of Wired Magazine is mostly just a review of the hardware with one really cool picture of the guts of the machine. Other than that there are only a few mentions of Microsoft’s console strategy, but no mention of Halo. Thanks Noah. Pax.

Kamikaze informs us that the May 2001 issue of Wired Magazine has an Xbox feature. Not sure if there is any Halo info but it might be worth checking out.

Two more pieces of Wallpaper from Diogo “Razorback” Barbosa. A black & white sketch called War is Hell and a splash of Tecnicolor. Use our Wallpaper search engine to find all Diogo’s work.

“Acid!” was Crux’s only comment to Dinosurfer’s latest piece of Halo inspired Wallpaper. Is this the way the Covenant see us or did the marine just drop a tab? Check it out!

Thanks to Dorkonaspork for sending in a whole bunch of scans of the Halo preview in the latest Next Generation magazine. Unfortunately we can’t upload these until the mag comes off the store shelves. You can see small sized pics of the full article over at Bungie Sightings. Please buy the magazine if you want to see the full article or wait a few weeks and we’ll have it up. Pax.

OliverHeilwagen sends us in a very nice piece of Wallpaper. It’s 1024×768 in size. There are now 153 items in our Wallpaper section and it’s growing daily.

Thanks to Ilium Rise who points out on our forum that Blue’s News gets a touch of Halo. Their main logo has been featuring a different game each day and presently it has the jeep from Halo. Pax.

Update: Frans P. de Vries of Blue’s News informs us that their logo changes once a week, not once a day. Thanks Frans.

Added Dinosurfer’s new Halowarriors pic to our Wallpaper section. Got Wallpaper?

“They had nine clips of the 12mm RunHard penetrators, only seven of them full.” New fan fiction from Vector40 on our Fan Fiction page.

Ok we’ve got a few more Wallpapers in our Uploads area. We’ll get them up later today but if you want to see them now why not take a look.

Dinosurfer informs us that he has uploaded a 1024×768 Wallpaper named halowarriors.jpg to our Uploads area. We’ll be adding this to our Wallpapers section just as soon as we get Crux off the dial-up.
