Halo wins Blue's News Best of E3 2000
Halo wins Blue's News Best of E3 2000. Thanks to Kamikaze who posts to our forums thatBlue's News have posted their Best of E3 2000awards. Halo won "Best of Show". This is what Stephen "Blue" Heaslip had to say:
Best of Show
Halo. Combining state-of-the-art graphics, with state-of-the-art teamplay, this is TRIBES meets Quake III Arena, and more. If gameplay lives up to this year's demonstration, then the only thing that stands between Halo and being the all-time great multiplayer game is how the netcode turns out.

Halo SETI Team 24 hour stats posted
Weird goings-on at the SETI server... Club Rankings haven't been updated in 3 days, and the Halo SETI Marines are being consistently credited 200+ fewer units than what's actually crunched. No matter, the crunching goes on! Jjaro Tech and Rival take top honors today. Check the 24 hour stats for details. (Louis Wu 14:26:55 UTC) (permalink)

PC Gamer named as US Trailer distributor
Oops, we missed this... thanks to R.net for noticing. The Daily Radar Teaser page specifies that it's PC Gamer that will have the E3 Trailer on its cover CD, ending speculation about which gaming mag would host the US version. (Louis Wu 02:25:42 UTC) (permalink)

Luxor writes to tell us that Halo Vault can be added to the fast-growing list of mirrors for the teaser. In his words, "awesome bandwidth (for now)." ;) (Louis Wu 01:54:44 UTC) (permalink)
Full Trailer Release to bring surprises
SiliconDream =PN= points out on the R.net forum that one of the scenes in the teaser was NOT in the E3 trailer... so we can probably look forward to footage that even those at E3 didn't see. Thanks, Sili! (Louis Wu 01:53:00 UTC) (permalink)
More mirrors for the E3 Trailer Teaser
More mirrors for the Hi-res version of the E3 Trailer Teaser: Rampancy.net reports that they have it on their hotline site, under Uploads ->Halo->halo_e3_preview_hires[1].mpg, and Battleground: Halo reports that they'll be putting a copy up as soon as they get it downloaded. (Louis Wu 01:50:29 UTC) (permalink)
Battleground: Halo weighs in on the MS rumors
Battleground: Halo is reporting that Doug Zartman answered Planet X-Box about the Microsoft/Bungie rumors. Visit BGH to read the quote for yourself. (Louis Wu 01:28:05 UTC) (permalink)
Teaser, not full Trailer
Clarification: Seems what Daily Radar and 3D Action Gamers are distributing is a teaser for the full trailer, not the Trailer itself. Still pretty awesome, though... Absolutely worth the download. (Louis Wu 01:17:32 UTC) (permalink)
E3 Trailer available
Halo Trailer Available: Jeremy Roush sends word that Daily Radar has put up the E3 Trailer. It's quite small, compared to what we were told... there's a 26 meg version and a 13 meg version. Go grab it now! And we just received word that 3D Action Gamers has put up a mirror for it, if traffic gets too heavy at DR. GET THIS! (Louis Wu 01:07:59 UTC) (permalink)
