CGI Halo preview, Part 2 online
Once again, kudos to edge, who noticed that Computer Games Online has part 2 of their Halo preview, "Bungie dreams of rings and things." As before, the info is quite good, and has some new tidbits; Jason Jones talks about how they decided what would go into the E3 trailer:
"We were trying to capture the core elements of both the single-player and multiplayer games such as stealing weapons, assaulting bases, grand vistas, sneak attacks—all the things we expect players to do."
There's also a nifty concept drawing of a human boat... first we've seen! edge seems to be working towards the HBO field reporter position... (Louis Wu 18:32:48 UTC) (permalink)
bungie.com and bungie.net down for the move
The move is underway! Both bungie.com and bungie.net are currently unreachable... this almost certainly means the machines are physically on their way to Redmond. Here's hoping the move goes smoothly, and that everything's back up and running soon! (Flashback noticed b.com down about 4 hours ago... so they started pretty early in the morning.)

Haloweb gets noticed
FraxX writes to tell us about a German Halo site he's involved in... Haloweb. Not sure how this missed going on our links page... we've seen it before. In any case, it's there now! Check it out, if you speak German! (Louis Wu 15:26:53 UTC) (permalink)
The new look Bungie web page
Killermac.com have posted a hilarious new lookMicrosoft/Bungie page. Yes this could be the new face of Bungie. Warning: for the humorlessly impaired this is a JOKE people... with possibly a bit of tru7h thrown in. (Ding 07:08:58 UTC) (permalink)
"...they will be assimilated."
"...all of the Bungie team will be moving to Redmond and they will be assimilated."Damn edge and his amazing X-ray eyes. Edge points us to aPlanetXbox news item about Bungie's third game "Fantasy Siege" in this month's Next-Generation magazine. While this isn't exactly new news the quote is hilarious. Here it is:
For two years running Bungie has wowed the crowds with the astonishing Halo,and according to Ed Fries, "What is even more impressive is Fantasy Siege - atotally different type of game running on the same engine. The engine is a very important thing to us, and is a huge part of the deal." It was too early to talk about a lot of specifics, but all of the Bungie team will be moving to Redmond and they will be assimilated.
Fantasy Siege looks set to become another Xbox title. (Ding 06:33:30 UTC) (permalink)
Mac/PC petition broken
As Tursas noticed, there's something wonky over at the petition to bring Halo to the Mac/PC. Hopefully, they haven't lost all that data... (Louis Wu 00:52:06 UTC) (permalink)
