Preview (sort of) at eUniverseGames
Thanks to Aginor, who noted (on our forum) that there's a new Halo preview over at eUniverseGames.com. Pretty clearly written by someone who didn't do their homework - screenshots are 18 months old, team list more than a year out of date (and not attributed to its source), and comments like this:
For instance, say some annoying fool is snipering your teammates you from a nearby hill, you jump in the nearest truck and drive up to the sniper, get out of the car and cut him up with your knife or shoot him with your AK-47. Then you get back in your ride and a teammate sees you, he jumps in the car and becomes the gunner and takes down other peeps who are in range or enemy aircrafts.
- it's still a pretty positive review of a game we're ALL waiting for. (Louis Wu 17:34:20 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo preview in PC Gamer UK
fAt1 informs us that he finally got his subscription copy of PC Gamer UK (general release on the 14th) which has a new Halo preview. While there are no new in-game screenshots there is a piece of concept art of the human dropship (woohoo!). Here are some juicey quotes from the article courtesy of fAt1:
"As with Half-Life and the other great leaps in gaming, it's attention to detail that'll inspire knowing glances among gamers."
"Stealing their technology isn't just going to give you some cool ways to blow them to space-chunks, it's going to be essential to you success in the game."
"While levels are big, they're basically designed for recapturing that pillar-to-post fighting feel that was so inspiring in Half-life"
Finally:
"Well, sex sells and Halo, in an eye-meets-game and make beautiful love kind of way, is digital sex... It's going to be a feverish wait"
