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.

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.

Thanks to Mojo of Halam for the heads up regarding the new Rallying Point Halo site URL. We wuz sent the wrong one! 🙁

24 hour Halo team stats posted. New recruits sign up for their tour of duty with the Halo SETI marines. Have you got what it takes to crunch bugs… err I mean… data? 😉

“I’d like to announce the birth of my own HALO – devoted webpage, The HALO Rallying Point at bangaloremrc.tripod.com” says Dan Latimer (aka Bangalore).

=NAV=Shadow writes to let us know that his clansite, NAVCON, has an edited version of the Halo trailer available. He’s also added a new flash intro. Swing on by and take a look! Pax.

Heads up Marines! Louis spent ALL day calculating out 7 day Halo SETI team stats so you better take a look.

Yes we’re back to our regular 24 hour Halo SETI team stats report. Check out the movers and shackers on Halo SETI team. Are you doing your part? Join today!

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!

Yesterday we mentioned that Mystic =POSSE= had put up an article about the scenery positions” in Halo. The Militia site also has a similar section called “A Look at The Halo”. Very nicely done. Some great observations. Check it out!

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.
