Confirmation of location-specific damage
Thanks to Ferrex, who posted to his old stomping grounds at Rampancy.net, confirming that location-specific damage WILL be included in Halo. It's long been speculated that this would be included... but this is the first confirmation of it by a Bungie employee. (Louis Wu 19:43:14 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo site coming down under
Lee Timms writes to say that a new Halo site is coming soon rom CFGN (Cyber Forces Gaming Nation) - OzHalo. As he says, the new design is very nicely done. Looking forward to the site! (Louis Wu 13:55:29 UTC) (permalink)
Gamecritics.com says Blech!
Thanks to Dan Rudolph, who pointed out three separate E3 wrapups (one from each editor) at Gamecritics.com. Bottom line - they hated Halo. Ben thought Halo was the "biggest joke of the show"... but then, he got a bunch of stuff wrong. (If you're gonna name someone by name, get the name right... and if you're gonna ridicule a special effect, like the umbra effect the Halo guys were so rightfully proud of, don't confuse it with something mundane, like a lens flare - it throws doubt on the credibility of the rest of your criticism.) Chi declared that "if Microsoft is hedging most of its bets on HALO, it better seriously think about folding its hand and cutting its loses." And Brad ignored it altogether (though he included a shot of the Halo display in his rant against ALL Xbox titles, and Chi mentioned how underwhelmed all three were by Halo). Ouch!
