E3 play report from xbox.ign.com Aardvark points out that xbox.ign.com has updated their Halo section with an E3 report (they've put all their notes, starting with the original 1999 Macworld look, on a single page)... but this one has an... um, interesting claim. Admittedly choppy when battling it out with four or more buddies, the frantic squad-level action still has a ways to go in terms of visuals. Not quite on par with the PC demo floating around out there, the character models and resolution arenÕt as pretty as its computer brethren.
We'll put this as simply as we can - the last PC build was in the spring of 2000 - EVERYTHING since then has been Xbox. Jimmy Hoffa is floating around out there somewhere, too... but your chances of running across him are probably better than those of finding a Halo PC build less than a year old.

Streamed gloriousness at xbox.com More streaming media - longer, this time, and more scripted - at xbox.com. Gorgeous - if only it could be saved to disk! Thanks to Cartack for pointing it out. (There's also a lo-res version available.) (Louis Wu 07:39:13 UTC) (permalink) 
Gameplay streams at Gamespot There are a whole series of gameplay videos (streaming format only, unfortunately) at Gamespot - thanks to Harry "kick-ass store minder" Al-Shakarchi for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 07:36:54 UTC) (permalink) 
Two new mirrors for fanfest footage Apologies for the downtime - I can't explain it, since I'm 3000 miles away from the folks responsible for this connection, but I'll get to the bottom of it as soon as I get back - in the meantime, we have two new mirrors for you on the fanfest videos posted recently: Enjoy!
