In the depths of our despair, The Mac Observer has passed along two beautiful versions of their “unofficial” MacWorld NY demo movie… a 35 megabyte version which scales quite nicely, and a smaller, 3 megabyte version which still gives a great feeling for the experience. Check out the Movie page… you might be the only one doing so!

“As is currently known the multiplayer apsect of Halo will play a HUGE part in the appeal of the game when it’s released in Q2 2000.” Halo Central tips us to a short MacGamer’s Ledge blurb in todays news. The article also mentions a new, upcoming Halo trailer from Bungie. We can’t wait!

A quick review of the Halo pages show a complete dirth of Halo activity yesterday. The calm before the storm or just the weekend? Perhaps a chance to wind down and relax after the hectic last three weeks since Macworld.

Well we’ve ground to a halt. Our Forums no longer work. And things are looking kinda bleak. If you’re reading this then you’re using our IP address http://halo.bungie.org/halo. We should be back in action some time next week.
