PlanetHalo.dk online
Noticed this on Halo Center: There's a Danish Halo site up and running. Seems to have been reporting for the past 3 weeks or so, actually.) I've got very little idea what they're saying... but if you speak Danish, go check out PlanetHalo.dk! (Louis Wu 19:45:10 UTC) (permalink)

Wallpaper page updated
Thanks to Alerus, who sends in another desktop for our Wallpaper page. It's built on the original Blues News screenshot... so it's sort of big. Worth a look, though! (Louis Wu 14:45:59 UTC) (permalink)
Nathan Bitner returns
Wow... Nathan comes back from the dead (or at least marriage). Nathan Bitner, who left his job as Producer of Halo last fall to get married and go back to school, has surfaced once again on our forum... the man sounds a little frazzled, but I hear Raleigh can do that to you. Good to have you back, Nathan! (Louis Wu 14:28:28 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction updated
We got more Fan Fiction... I think. Empty Weapon, it's called. (Louis Wu 02:46:10 UTC) (permalink)
MS says "you're independent... not"
Interesting. Bungie has always made a point of the independence they're keeping in the Microsoft buyout deal... how Microsoft saw the Bungie name, its cachet, even, worth as much as the games it would produce. Yesterday, however, Microsoft published a press release about the talent pool currently developing for the Xbox. In it, they list all the "independent developers" currently on board with Xbox titles... Bungie isn't on the list. Below it, though was this:
"In addition to allying with independent development studios, Microsoft also intends to continue to expand its internal pool of development talent across all game genres. The recent acquisition of Bungie Software Corp. increased Microsoft's internal games group to more than 700 designers, programmers, testers and producers."
Sure looks like (at least in Microsoft's eyes) Bungie is just another 50 game engineers, not an independent entity. Hmm... (Louis Wu 00:29:19 UTC) (permalink)
