Hidden Treasures on Bungie.net
So I was cleaning out my office this weekend, and I ran across a copy of The Official Xbox Magazine that I don't think I ever read. It's the June 2009 issue, and one of the cover teasers is 'The Halo You'll Never Play!' It's an article about Allen Murray's GDC 2009 presentation - and it included info I didn't remember seeing before. (We'd mentioned the talk a few times - IGN posted a pair of articles on March 26, and Kotaku posted one on the same day - but none of them contained pictures of 'Guardian Forest', the level that got cut from Halo 3, or of the Guardian itself, a new enemy with a laser in its chest that you could steal and use. (The OXM article included pictures, and made me hunt some more.) It turns out Bungie's posted Murray's PowerPoint slides on their Publications page, back on March 31 - and we neglected to mention it! (The images linked above were extracted from that presentation.) If you haven't perused the full publications list... you should. They are fascinating glimpses inside the development of Bungie's games... and there are some real gems buried inside as background art, as well. (Louis Wu 13:30:23 UTC)
