Sorry we had to restrain Wirehead again! The new shot Lars describes below sounds very like the one in the recent Next Generation two page spread (263K). Pax.

New Halo screenshots in the German Game Magazine PC-Player! Kudos to Lars for this Halo report:

In Issue 1/2000 of the German Game Magazine PC-Player, is a Preview Report about Halo, there aren’t any really new facts but there are some new shots. One is showing a Covenant firing with an Beam Weapon (a very big green beam) onto a jeep. And the Jeep slides down a cliff or hill when evading the beam.

Grab the scans Lars! Grab the scans! WooHaa!!!

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!

Nathan Bitner drops some more planetary sightings Marathon’s Story way. Check it out.

The monks in the backroom have been hard it. How did the Halo SETI team do today?

Thanks to Eric Salzman, who graciously allowed us to snag a copy of his Halobay.jpg for our Miscellaneous Art (original) area. And thanks to Total Halo, where we found the image in the first place. Pax.

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!

Who was crunching over the weekend? SETI Halo Marine 48 hour stats posted-go see who the movers are! Pax.

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!

In our quest to collect all the Halo art out there, we’ve added two logos to our Logos page. Thanks, Sam and =NAV=Kude! Pax.

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!

Major kudos to Simon Brownlee for sending us the scans of the German PC Action (Dec ’99) Oni/Halo preview article (2 pages). This is the magazine that has the controversial Halo movie. There are two flavors:

Low Cal Page 1 (201K) and Page 2 (219K)
or
Hi Cal Page 1 (392K) and Page 2 (444K).

Pax.

More stats for your money! Halo SETI team 24 hour stats have just been posted.

Blake Noble passes on this info:

“I’ve just finished reading a special award section in the latest
(December 1999) Australian MacWorld, and it appears that Halo could
(hehehe) win. They say that they “may have to open a room dedicated
solely to Bungie Software”. Yet another point for the Bungie Team”

We’ve added a bunch of Halo shots from around the web to our Screenshots page. More to come… watch this space.

Woohaa… new team leader powered by Jjaro tech. Check out Halo SETI team 24 hour stats.
